Rachel Unthank & The Winterset play -- Sea Song -- at the Playhouse 2 Theatre

[seriously0001]

Brilliant vocal interpretation of the great classic Wyatt's masterpiece.

[TheKenfig]

Some hot dolly birds

[monkeyriot311]

You both are brilliant!!!!! Just amazing ladies! Even better we share the same last name...its not often you come across the last name Unthank...well at least in the states

[wyvisben]

But I can't understand the different you in the morning

When it's time to play at being human for a while please smile!

You'll be different in the spring, I know

You're a seasonal beast like the starfish that drift in with the tide

So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon

You're madness fits in nicely with my own

Your lunacy fits neatly with my own, my very own

[wyvisben]

You look different every time you come

From the foam-crested brine

Your skin shining softly in the moonlight

Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale

Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?

Joking apart - when you're drunk you're terrific when you're drunk

I like you mostly late at night you're quite alright

[London2272]

And as it turned out, they've grown and honed their duo act to perfection. "One of these sisters will have a successful solo career" eh? They're both brilliant. They only need to be great singers to do what they're doing, and that's what they are.

[anaislm31]

Ho ! How could I say How much I love this version !!! wonderful... truly wonderful ... I don't stop listening to it ! thank you so much for those emotions !

[jerryverrier]

I cried. It's a wonderful version of a wonderful song

[mijpope]

brilliant and moving performance of a brilliant and moving song. Robert Wyatt's original is not as powerful, in my view

[martinheighway]

Dirge, far too slow.

[stellaviolens]

They need to work on a better live sound and lessen the dirge like songs. The U's should succeed now

[scolt104]

Ich finde sie bringen den Song rüber, wie er schon immer sein sollte.

[tonyflatham1]

Peterkabrna is very unlucky, to keep stumbling across something that gets worse every time he sees it and I don't know where Mr Bushytop is coming from, I was very lucky to see this band in Waterford last week, they were brilliant and I love their version of this song.

[upforlastnameleft]

Wow - loved it!!!

[MrBushytop]

One of these sisters will probably have a successful solo career. Havent decided which one yet. Becky has impressed me with her singing but seems the more introverted of the two. Great band anyway

[doctorquackingtosh]

Inspired.

One of the most refreshing bands to come out of the UK for quite some time.

[MrBushytop]

Its a bit heavy but think its deliberate. Great band though.

[peterkabrna]

This gets worse every time I stumble upon it.

Dreadful

[peterkabrna]

Nonsense

[nubient]

ever since 1974 this song has fascinated many musicians

[cheerydavie]

Saw this wonderful grouplast Fridsy in Edinburgh's Queens Hall

[brigett63]

Pero peterkabrna, cómo puedes llegar a ser tan desagradable? Madonna, Britney y Beyonce estan por otro lado.

[peterkabrna]

this is frigging crap

[brigett63]

Esta cancion es muy hermosa y la interpretacion es fantastica. Es casi farorita entre todas las visualizaciones del grupo.

[brigett63]

Esa sucia y maravillosa voz...

[PinkneysDefiant]

its to northern, but i like it.

[rogerhification]

Someone hug her please. I love it.xxxxxx

[jpterveen]

First time I heard it I hated it. Now it is getting better, but still, I don't like the interpretation of this song. To me, it's sung too slow. Don't like the little glissandos. Her voice: reasonably good. A bit to much air in the sound. She's trying to sing it too beautiful. She need to watch her technique.

[clivedh]

The Emperor has no clothes on!

Are you all on drugs?

[Nemoid]

@clivedh - It's all a matter of taste. I love these girls, and though this song is not my favourite their album is magnficent.

[gladiatorgirl2009]

Just come back from seeing them live at Buxton, they're amazing!

[mungwana]

This is beautiful. I loved Robert Wyatt's comment: 'I don't know if they know how good they are'.

[joeygsmom]

agreed. Modesty is a rare quality and these girls are very good but dont seem fuul of themselves.

But they ARE that good!

[LstCowboy]

singing flat taken to new heights

[Butterflyneverlands]

I checked this one out because someone compared them to Roland Orzabal's rendition of this song. They are so different that is just a matter of taste, really. She has a beautiful voice but I think that the accordion didn't fit in with this song, IMHO.

[simonmarchese]

Saw them at Cambridge Folk Fest 2007 with Belinda - between this song and Whitehorn I don't know which one moves me more.

[SpriteForMewo]

I have so much time for this group. They have made this song thier own. So beautiful.

I hope they are playing near me sometime, i'de love to see them again.

5/5 <3 :)

[leenyburghers]

somebody slap her please !!!!

[swanstoon]

Becky's truly wonderful interpretation of this immense song always manages to reduce me to tears.Stef's playing is always spot on,too.

[briantomo]

so cool,so classy,folk is the way.

[kemmysunshine]

So beautiful. I love Becky's voice.

[VideoBongo]

Wonderful!
