God dammit, that was beautiful and powerful and one of the greatest songs ever. I love her so much and was almost fulfilled when I found her a couple months ago. I seen her in person, she was standing right next to me. Five feet from me! and I couldn't bring myself to say two words to her because she is so...magnificent as an artist. And I will always cherish her music.
This woman is a beast in the most respectful and lady-like way possible.
her voice and music is priceless, what more could anyone need from music other than the melodic and whimsical way it makes you feel and her music definetly makes me feel like that :)
Ok ok , I addmit, I got here after watching OTH , but I knew Rachel's song "Horizon" from a year ago or so, just didn't expect ALL of her songs to be this great *_*
she came to houston with mandy moore and it was b4 this album i think anyways, it was like she was singing to ME :D she loooked at me a few times and i melted!!!
man that was the first time i eve heard her and been loving her deeply since then one day i hope i can meet her and hug her for being there for me with her music! :)
all I know is... she is one of the best singers. if anyone likes Rachael Yamagata and Brandi Carlile... you'd absolutely fall in love with The Civil Wars
I'm not sure how I ended up finding you tonight, but pretty much every song I've listened to of your tonight is perfect for what I'm going through right now. Your music is amazing, very deep and moving. Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with us. Thanks for giving me a space to let it all out right now.
Ethereal. It's the only word in the English language that could possibly attempt to explain this song. So provoking and passionate, I actually cried the first time that I heard it.
wow how did i miss an artist like this !!! This song was written for me for my life right now. I just want to say your lyrics have spoken to my soul ,,,Consider your cd bought .
rachel's white and japanese....i haven't quite made up my mind what to think of her yet...like tori amos she's a good musician, but her lyrics go way over my head...a bit too esoteric for my taste..., she reminds me in some ways of vienna teng...do you call this chamber pop or orchestral pop?...but her voice keeps me coming back...she definately can sing...
This reference to Damien Rice is a good one. He needs his old ex back and since it seems they are no longer a possibility, Yamagata could fill the bill, proving that she can sing without him.
What I think I really love about her is that's she not frop dead gorgeus. She stays herself no matter wat. I love her freckles and her hair. They make her real to me instead of just another pretty girl singing.
I first heard another studio recording of this song years ago, before Happenstance, and it is my favorite song still. This version is very beautiful though. And there is a good live video someone recorded where she cries- that's real art. This melodic melancholy music she's putting out now seems more natural and less forced like the poppy stuff on Happenstance. She's so talented. This song brings tears to me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It hits so close to home.
@LuxStrangelove aww she cries? i definitely like "elephants...teeth sinking into heart" better than "happenstance". it sounds more mature and yeah, natural. i think she will only get better with time, musically.
This song is so rich and significant in a depleted sell out industry. I listen to her as often as say Zeppelin, or Nas, just pure beauty and honesty from an endless girl.
this is really one of the best songs ever her music is soo good i cant belive alot of people dont know who she is she has a lovely voice and sings about life not like other famous ppl that only sing about sex and drugs and stupid stufff. shesso real and beautiful i love her!
What I love about Rachael is that when she's vulnerable, there's a bite and an anger to it - and with that luscious voice of hers, you can't help but stay there, mesmerized, and listen to what she has to say. This is the kind of thing you listen to on a cloudy Sunday afternoon when it's getting dark and the house is quiet. Absolutely epic.
As a musician, the Timbre of her voice is something I would love to find in a guitar. Simply amazing. There's sooo much emotion there, her voice makes me feel a million things from my past- I have to describe it as a color somewhere in between a deep blue of the end of a sunset.
You Rachael are the greatest musical secret. I pity those who do not know you. I am better just hearing your voice. We should just date, you would love me, lol.
Well...because most people have to understand something to enjoy it. Usually. It's the same reason people look at conceptual art, or poetry and say "This sucks...I don't get it."
With education comes understanding, a broadening of horizons.
Unfortunately the mass majority eat up pop music...because it's what they know and understand.
@auroral thats why she isnt famous. becuase she's so real that people can't handle her. They're just looking for beat and if it Pops.. yep. this is real music
@auroral She isn't famous because people like crappy music, this is the real music that is only knowk among people who have a good taste in it, not some crappy Bieber or GaGa or Whoreianna.
I am French. I discovered your songs thanks to an American friend. She said I could like and I LOVE. Really... Thank you. Keep on to sing, you make my life better.
I love your music...I've got you up there with Damien Rice and Ray LaMontagne, the honesty of your lyrics and your beautiful voice makes my day every time I listen to your music. Thanks!
