Hem - Half Acre

[ShortestShowShown]

Sounds like a music box :)

[kalikube]

Beautiful song

[DBlockn05]

Classic.

[wilsondylanmccartney]

This girl's voice just astounds me :)

[Entertainmentwriter]

Along with In My Life by The Beatles, this is the most beautiful song composed and performed in the last 50 years.

[YourFace]

Holy Shit, the sound quality on this is AMAZING...The mids and bass don't drown out the vocals, is this a soundboard recording?

[homsar456]

I hear an mbira!

[undrablackveil]

Makes me cry. I love it

[thunderdeed]

@undrablackveil Me to!

[AGCrean]

She has an amazing voice

[laudypapa1]

why is this song a drug for me? i've listened to nothing else all day

[mlh21]

Classic!

[beachybum2011]

such a pretty song. (:

[SONSKIStheNAME]

dam that braud can sing

[shaqinnewyork]

I love her change in pitch. She reminds me of Sarah McLaughlin.

[wc77mitch]

This song always helps me produce an impressive bowel movement.

[buddyro57]

Well, that tells me 2 things; (1) you don't have a great ear and (2) you aren't very good at turning a witty phrase. Keep after it though, you might get better in time......practice makes perfect

[InalielAirotciv]

I remember this song being on my laptop when I first bought it and I loved it so much...years later, I hear it on a commercial and hum along. It's weird how these things happen. :)

[schuenem]

Why am I teary eyed?

[jkelly2468]

I know right!

[tweezelbub]

My heart and soul flow with the Holy Waters of the AuSable. 

I think of, and miss Calvin "Rusty" Gates Jr. when I hear this.

I am haunted by waters.

[Lbjdw333]

Michigan <3

[spaceorbison]

She looks like I imagined her.

[moonlilymad711]

I really dig this song...I actually owe a big thank you to commercials and sit coms for some of my favorite songs.

[LightningBuggie]

@timages it's being played constantly on Liberty Mutual commercials during the Olympics. Hopefully that will give it a bit more recognition, even though it won't be anything near Britney's recognition.

[jumbolump73]

good point , timages

[gnr08fan]

love this

[stevezzz12]

Absolutely amazing.

Warms my soul.

[nubbs]

this is, as far as i am concerned, the most beautiful song i have ever heard. and i listen to a lot of music.

[Entertainmentwriter]

Nothing like this since Lennon and McCartney wrote In My Life. Truly remarkable.

[mysteriousbutlovely]

[xoKriStiAnExo]

i did a lyrical dance to this song and i absolutely love itt ♥

[timages19]

Intense and amazing and of course way too good to ever get any deserving recognition. Hey, here's a thought, lets play Brittany over and over instead. But I've got to admit its kind of cool to be part of the higher echelon of music lovers. People like yourselves...people who get it. But where are you guys besides here? I only wish I could meet some of you out there.

[2highcousins]

she is amazing live, i love this song.

[Entertainmentwriter]

It's like Shakespeare teamed up with Lennon and McCartney to compose a perfect song.

[ilovejohnmayer93]

i heard this song on he liberty mutual commercial and fell in love with it!

[andipoetic]

Thats how I first heard it too

And now I'm in love with the band!!

[TheKatherineTimes]

great song!!!!!

[EnchantingNature]

Gorgeous song!

[ElevenMileRecords]

Rabbit Songs is about as close to perfection as you can get in an album. Wonderful group and downright beautiful vocals.

[WileyPossum]

My favorite band!!

[BandoNintendo]

The percussionist is trying to make a beautiful ballad 'hardcore' and failing.

[macdonaldo]

Fair enough, though that may be more the fault of my crappy digital camera than the percussionist. I remember the sound mix being much better live than on this recording.

[YourFace]

@macdonaldo In all fairness, that camera must be amazing, because most audience recordings sound like static because the mids and bass drown out the camera's mic. What camera did you use may I ask?

[macdonaldo]

@YourFace I never really thought the audio or video quality on this recording did justice to the performance, but you're right -- it's tough to pull off a decent live recording with most handheld cameras (especially true when this was recorded almost 4 years ago). If I remember correctly, this was taken on a fairly cheap casio exilim digital camera. The sound mix in this small club was very good and I was sitting far enough away that the levels didn't clip too bad. Thanks for commenting.

[madhoneydew]

@macdonaldo my assumption is that the audio is separate from the video

[horsejumper0077]

i hate it when singers change how they sing a song when they are live but this song is still BEAUTIFUL!!! Hem is a very talented group!

[nuclearthreat545]

i agree horsejumper

[chukmok]

this band suckssssssssss!

very bad am i right i meen lisen to this song

[horsejumper0077]

dude, this song is beautiful. here voice is beautiful but it does sound better once it has been tampered with in the editing room and put on a cd.

[jade0425]

the first time that i heard this beautiful song was at my 21 yr old nephew's funeral on 2/09/08. he passed away from musular dystrophy. he had heard this song on a commercial and loved it. may his precious soul rest in peace. i love you, a.j. from your aunt pat

[blandatious]

may your god bless you and your dear nephew. to share such sentiment is beautiful.

[jade0425]

Thank you, blandatious, for your comment! I hope that you have a happy holiday season...and may God bless you, too!

[lesamourai40]

I just love this song.

[Oswuari]

Some bands don't live up to their recordings... They meet and surpass themselves.

Thanks for posting.

[nostalgiaopera]

The mix of instruments is so intriguing and the voice is haunting.

[tomouhoh]

transfixed...melodic...beautif­ul

[southerncath]

incredible...amazing in the studio, but even better live

[laurieheartsdcx]

they're really good live.

[just2hip]

really like this song by Hem,but my favorite is Home Again,have'nt seen the video yet,but I'm betting it is wonderful.

[megano3]

i love this song. it has such a cool nautical feel.

[finley231]

shes my aunt =]]

[scarshapedstar]

Omg! I was at this show, in the front row, on the left!

I got to meet Sally after the show. I didn't say much, because I tend to be shy, but I told her that Hem ought to be a household name.

[tundragyr]

hypnotic lusty lullabies

[mongrelssister]

Sally Ellyson has an amazing voice. She is among my favorites, next to Stevie Nicks, Cheryl Crow, and Christy McVee.

[xoxocean]

so peaceful and soothing :)

[weatherman182]

ur a good singerr

[tomest1980]

from the commercial... i love it.

[mendelous]

nice one!

[mikhailguy]

great song

[avatarhammer]

does anyone know if they have an official video of this song ? i would love to see it here on you tube

[avatarhammer]

i love this song, i wish everyone could take a few minutes out of their crazy days to reflect on being in a state of peace & love through out the day, we would truly live in different world if we did

[DBlockn05]

Very true! Your comment on here speaks volumes of wisdom.

[Toban832]

What a beautiful song! Good camera/audio skills, atleast it was decent to watch and listen to!
