[lastsundaymorning]

hideous but gorgeous :)

[PatrickLThomas]

+1 Subscriber...Absolutely Stunning!

[SpoonyRS]

I love all her music, bought the album today - really really talented :)

[STGftw]

twinings brought me here..best cup of tea i ever had

[monochrome72]

This is very progressive and... incredibly very pink floydish.. Just need some Ketamine and im off

[ear8dmg]

Is that her singing? I thought it was a flute or something. Wow!

[LilRaverBrooke]

No way did she do those high notes. o.,o

[davoethnik2]

@LilRaverBrooke she's certainly capable! I saw Charlene supporting Fink at a church in Brighton last year, she has an extremely unique voice and it was a really haunting and moving performance! You should see her live if in doubt!

[LilRaverBrooke]

@davoethnik2 I didn't mean literally she can't do it , I meant like a wow kind.

[bobarooney1991]

wow.. inspiration to many sing song writers.. im loving the unique sounds of this song and your voice fits perfectly!!!! wow charlene your going to go far !!!! just bought the allllbumbumdeebum!!! xxxxx

[iR3vil4te]

She's fantastic. The musics beautiful, her voice is stunning and the lyrics are just like poetry. To think she does all the guitar as well. WOW

[DjSolem]

wow, clicks have gone through the roof...seems like i'm not the only one anymore who knows the most beautiful song in the world ;)

[iR3vil4te]

How could someone not like this!!!!!!

Just bought the album and I cant stop listening to it! best thing on iTunes. Her voice is incredible, love it!!!!!

[iR3vil4te]

Hauntingly gorgeous

[301adis]

her beauty adds even more sweet theme in d song.!!! cheers to her.!! great artist.!! :)

[LunaLynnLovegood]

Very haunting... Just Beautiful.

[gingerbreadmouse8D]

I don't know if this is what she was going for, but i can kind of hear feist's music to this and yeah, i agree, a 'Pink Floyd-esque edge' to this song in particular. I love it towards the end, it sounds like something from the mighty boosh!! It's so haunting and lovely. wow c:

[livesarelife]

the perfect intro to the wonderful lp, and for mī the best of all songs on it, tū

[PAULmoviemaker]

I was just blown away... end of

[musejayjay23]

I must admit, I dont tend to love singer/songwriters, Laura Marling aside, but this is truly beautiful. Sounds like you've accumilated all of the best bits of popular music since the 60's, added a very contemporary feel and created something really great. Sure we'll be hearing a lot of you in the future.

[999mousie]

I just been casually chatting to you on twitter lol! I was having such a great time, yet to find those gig tickets that are not 14+ you need to talk to the tour arrangers :P

[suplex88]

you have the most comforting and beautiful voice ive ever heard

[hueseph]

Thanks to @JezzyLewis for pointing me to this song. There's very little new music that I would listen to. I'm glad there are still gems out there.

[asianpanda72201]

love it

[icecoldisaac86]

testicle

[vegas2004]

Beautiful voice-absolute perfection.

[gemgemjibabaloo]

This is the first song of yours I've ever heard, and it's given me the best first impression ever! I love it :)

[RebeltubeStation]

you are so beautiful :)

[Rasticle100]

cant stop watching this video! Brilliantly made and performed

[Knorkendork]

wow. amazing. :o

[solly142]

wow.

[BetterLateThanNever1]

I can hear a bonobo sound to this in regards to the psyche xx

[MissLaraJessica]

lovely song and all but jesus christ having your headphones up full blast and having that first note drilled through your eardrums was pretty fucking painful.

[egyRazor]

my god aint her voice is lovely in as exy way ?!!?

[namratadasadhikary]

oh..i love your voice!! <3

[reganam69]

omdays i thought the opening tune was an instrument!

[tantrumzthedon]

I saw you on channel four the other day keep it up we need more real music like this from real artist like yourself.

[SmearyRenold]

I managed to buy one of your signed albums today :) At least I hope it's signed anyway, the site didn't verify it but said that they take down the offer when all of them have sold sold I think it's safe to assume that it's signed. Yay! Early Christmas presents to yourself are always awesome :)

[MrCoyletech]

Fuck weed when you've got this 

[mrtk003]

Woww it sure has been a while since I've seen / heard something like this! It's amazingly arranged/written and the colours that the music paints are incredible, and are very well portrayed in the video. Your voice has such an innocent quality to it; it's so clean and beautiful. Wonderful job :)

[Ollielollylanny]

We have the same birthday Charlene!! Made my day!

[icecoldisaac86]

This music is super sexy... so sensual yet dark and mystical...

it gets quite sinister at some points too...

I'd love to suck this girls eyeballs out.

we share the same birthday.

[mitchellkissack]

The jazz breakdown at the end of this song lets me have it. Holy mother of god.

[smithdoon]

Wow... I came here from the Twinings song and am simply BLOWN AWAY, this Kate Bush/Tori Amos vibe was not at all what I was expecting. Brilliantly trippy and gentle, LOVE IT when that trumpet kicks in and the tssstsssstssss of the cymbal, reminds me of classic trip-hop from the Herbalizer or something. Good work Charlene, I hope your album is super successful. xx

[phlipstar]

Love the progression. The change up at around 3:14 gave me chills.

[SarahBear13721]

this is so beautiful :) xx

[chelouanne]

Beautiful

[Tambo315TS3]

5scar gets to comment with the real Charlene Soraia! That's like commenting with Rihanna!!!

[TheFLOable]

WOW you are amazing:') how do you even get that high?

[SmearyRenold]

Is it just me or is there an almost Pink Floyd-esque edge to this? I can hear it and it's really cool to hear the more modern sound mixing with it. I'm in love with Miss Soraia and her music and I'm really looking forward to hearing the album :)

[charlenesoraia]

@SmearyRenold this has to be one of my favourite comments ever!!.. im big into my psyche and prog... so... yeah... i want to cuddle you!! Moonchild is out today... recordstore.co.uk have some signed copies of it for sale... unless youre an itunes person... tis fine though... thankyou for your lovely comment xxxxxxxx

[SmearyRenold]

@charlenesoraia: Nooooo! *Insert dramatic fall to the knees* I don't get paid until next week. I hope I can get a signed one then, it'd be awesome :D I'm a huge fan of prog and psych too. I'm trying to make my own music but I'm finding it very hard to concentrate on the writing. Congratulations on the album, I hope you do very well. Also, you are more than welcome to hug me. I'd have bragging rights for life :P

[tantrumzthedon]

@SmearyRenold This Definitely reminds me of Pink Floyd loving the sound man.

[nwcumbuk]

Stunning voice. Looking forward to the album next week.

[3sgtepwnzr]

[hedgehogsrulemyworld]

Charlene you're incredible, I wish we were friends! ahaha!

[gunchap]

This song is deep in my head after listening to it the first time... And I love it!!!

Can't even say what's the thing that make me like it. The video clip, the song that changes it's pace... or simply my childhood memories, looking at my old photos.

[musickeepsonplaying]

hey , your music is beautiful, youre so talented. x x

[JustAddPixieDust]

Brilliant - but DO NOT have your music up loud when this starts! OMG MY EARS!!! Haha - Lovely <3

[AghLetMeMakeAnACC]

charlene you are truly amazing !

[fqlynx]

I've never been able to resist a woman who can sing... I'm in love. Amazing voice, true talent. Some of the top DJ's (Deadmau5, Above and Beyond, Armin Van Burren) need to a compliation track with Charlene. I'm not talking a cheese pop trance track, but a truely epic and beautiful mix, to last a lifetime!

[wearevague]

This is a fantastic song to come across, especially after it was that Twinnings advert that made me look in to who sung that. This is by far better, wasn't what I was expecting but am thoroughly hooked now.

[nitrous642]

finally, a voice that you can actually feel it embracing you. well done Charlene.

[TheTutton88]

im so happy to have come across an amazing and talented singer like Charlene i wish you all the best bubs ^_^ #number1fan ;) hehe

[BloodyIndie]

Wow this is so haunting, beautiful voice

She is doing what Mariah Carey did when she started.

Now I'm not insulting her, just can't find another word for it.

The beginning part. She was squealing. Mariah did that too.

[chocolatecake742]

@RyeBai It is called a whistle note, I think :)

[MrMaysvideos]

Saw Charlene Soraia at Glastonbury 2008 sitting outside on a little stage to an audience sitting down in the sunshine. Everybody loved her. I bought her album, it had on it 1984 - how can I find that song?? Ahhh I love her

[pfalzdxii]

Fabulous. I was lucky enough to see Charlene live, on the same bill with Kami Thompson and Matthew Kilford, a few years ago. A wonderful memory :)

[TheVortexJazzClub]

Charlene Soraia plays at The Vortex, London on Wednesday 29 June in double bill w/ Megan Wyler. £6 adv / £7 door. Call 020 7254 4097.

[carlosantaniello1]

I am very proud to say that This amazing girl is my niece, she creates a very unique sound, not copied from any other artist, its all her own doing, check her web site she is just brilliant.

[KissOnTheHandIsGrand]

@carlosantaniello1 she's got a better voice than anyone else in the charts right now.. wow her voice is stunning.

[homsniff]

amazingly gentle, yet so much depth, it just takes you away, wish i didnt have to return when it ended. Thank you for sharing your music with us

[quaich14]

lovely lovely voice - go to peacefrog for her album and much more neglected music

[Lovelovelarynx]

I found out about you a couple years ago because I decided to randomly search for songs with the word daffodil in them. That led me to "Daffodils" and subsequently your EP. Found this today and it's beautiful. Looking forward to the new release.

[deplanetiser]
