[TheUberYout]

WHAT A VOICE!!!

[MonieMonka]

she's awesome!



[MonieMonka]

she's awesome!

[saltypop13]

this is so great

[PaperBirdsFilm]

skins :)

[treehuggerkeith]

this song is sad but i'm not sure what to be sad about.. maybe the civil war?



[JanMarie1007]

Love...

[ladygreengodess]

Lovin it! :)

[ladygreengodess]

Lovin it <3

[niclaskc]

this is fu... amazing,great voice

[EveAndTheMachine]

what would i do if skins hadnt of played this!<333

[theresajohnson42]

thanks for the owner of this channel. Definitely cool.

[otisia]

@theresajohnson42 Glad you like it! thanks.

[carycallicut]

WOW! I really admire your video.. awesome!

[otisia]

@carycallicut Thanks a lot!

[asdwerdsaf]

so so excited to hear her open for fleet foxes! what a wonderful combination of talents on one stage.

[krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx]

Oh cool, another hipster girl that can sing indie songs by making her music sound "folk-ish." Damn, maybe I should pick up guitar and read some Old Yeller to inspire me to write the new indie hit.

[otisia]

@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx Damn maybe a Alela should get a laptop and go around spreading troll comments on-line. Just kidding she shouldn't do that because even if you don't like her singing and playing other people do (lots of us!) and no one likes a sorry loser troll.

[krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx]

@otisia That's a cool story bro.

[softfx]

@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx ---- I know exacly what you'r saying , but that's not the case here ... She's very very special ... Dig deeper ...

[scaldabanco357]

@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx Coming from a kid with Pokemon, Harry Potter, and MegaMan videos...

[delicatethings]

@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx This isn't indie, Alela isn't a hipster, and she is not folk-ish. She is completely legit. I am into hardcore folk and blues, and if you read a little about her, you'd know she was born and raised this way. Completely original, completely unique. Doesn't matter what your opinion is because you don't know what you're talking about!

[tetraheli]

@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx maybe u should....maybe u should

[MrsChaosBitch]

@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx One of the many that realy can sing and can make her music herself and your commenting like this on her song? WHY her? Her voice is beautiful and her lyrics too. If you want to be an asshole go try that on a bieber video. leave the real artist alone

[tsayad1986]

@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkx Make yourself useful and go troll a Katy Perry song or something ;)

[JanMarie1007]

Such a poignant and relevant song for this very time of my life...

[ari7771]

Esta cancion es tan bella

[holywampum]

Gosh, I'm crying. Amazing video.

[socrateswept]

When the government come for you!

[otisia]

@socrateswept what? actually nevermind.



[JanMarie1007]

Yes wonderful video perfectly matched to her song...

[otisia]

@JanMarie1007 Thanks so much.

[JanMarie1007]

Very well done!!!

[camibearrx3]

Love this song in skins, makes effy's scene so much beautiful.

[xsdmkx]

This was in Skins season 3 :) 

[defthammer]

Well..so much for my vacation in Appalachia this year.

[harvestercz]

Wondering what's the meaning of this ceremony, Amish people habbit or a folk magic to bring the dead back?

[otisia]

@harvestercz not to punt but the meaning you decide to give it is worth as much as any meaning alela or I would. i will say these people are not amish for whatever that's worth to you.

[trilbyluv]

Chords for this? Anyone? :-)

[davethomas]

@trilbyluv I believe she is using her vocal chords. Hope that helps. ;o)

[SigMaQuint]

Has anyone got the lyrics.

[ddgryphon]

Wow! Just Wow!

[otisia]

@ddgryphon thanks!

[ArmageddonAfterparty]

Coming here by way of Last.effinM, really great song.

[TheSar112233]

amazing <3

[maxmillion99]

gosh, what a haunting song! amazing little movie as well - so spooky. thanks!!

[otisia]

@maxmillion99 Thank you, it was great shoot.

[MissPanneAnne]

Beautiful song, even though it makes me cry as soon as I hear it.

[skullybabe22]

such an inspirational song

[captainmat]

poetry in motion

[marthaely252]

divino, el video es muy lindo de mucho sacrificio, pero al final vale la pena!!!, sobre todo la guia de la gurù alela!... linda...

[L1my]

skins has a beautiful range in the soundtrack

[JackDylanBeaumont]

A really special song.

[tsienni]

dunno why but she has such a steeling stare.... powerful story-telling....

[maflosil]

The first time I listened to this song was in a Skins' chapter and I fell in love with it. It's so sad, it makes me cry, really.

[lovephantomlake]

vincent - great video. very well done.

and of course an amazing song to go with it.

[otisia]

thanks so much!

[apercrumbie]

I'm being really stupid I think but I'm still struggling to understand what this song is really about. Can anyone help me?

[excellentgamer]

She has played in Duisburg, in Steinbruch. She was great

[REDHORSEcreekSWIMMER]

When the girl cuts off her braid I wanna crumble. So very sad. Beautiful video and Alela is such a special artist.

[otisia]

i appreciate it, thanks.

[thalkettoth]

her voice is magic

[KimiyaChanAnarchist]

Once more I am SO glad I'm open minded about music. Her voice is so unique. . . . . X

[iydsysstole101]

its just so disgusting to know how a family is

[discordiashadow]

That was amazing. First time hearing her. Awesome! I must listen to more!!

[t0uchefinale]

Love, love, LOVE this song !!!

[fredekikik]

I LOVE THIS Song ♥

[julestof]

saw her gig yesterday night in Rome: astonishing voice, Italian audience speachless, magic atmosphere and, as a very big surprise, Alela's mother and grandmother listening at their "creature" among the young people in the club!

Vista ieri dal vivo a Roma: voce sorprendente, atmosfera magica, il pubblico italiano ammaliato e senza parole e, grande sorpresa, tra erano presenti in sala la madre e la nonna di Alela venute ad ascoltare la loro bambina!

[ScaryGemini]

I love this song!! I also discovered it on skins. People that like this may also like Laura marling and Jose Gonzalez

[saratj016]

wow, just discovered alela's music by skins. Beautiful !

[hiddeninromance]

can't wait to see her at glastonbury

[alexbericheath]

Great voice, awesome harmonies, just learn a new picking pattern love. I don't mean that in a harsh way, but even Paul Simon picked differently every so often haha.

[angelpagano1]

Her voice is amazing!!!

[blower1]

lovely song

[xxcatseyesxx]

Skins Is Amazing.

Love this song :)

[batte264]

Skins is a tennybopper , this music is on this series.. and i love this song :)

:)

[alexbericheath]

I don't see the problem everyone has with their favourite band or singer appearing on Skins. The artist is getting a wider audience and more money. Did I start ranting and raving that people weren't listening to Debussy enough before the JJ episode? No, because the music worked and I'm glad more people actually realise his genius. You people are sad and petty. Awesome tune though.

[Myrtillzz]

Mais non voyons, les gens ont commencé à écouter Debussy en lisant Twilight... ^^

Thats all folks

[ravenscheer23]

God bless you for saying that, the music snobs are so stupid.

[Smellycat91]

i miss skins! :( i so glad it introduced me to Alela's music, she's brilliant!

[iac1886]

such a tune by a great artist

[xXLuVxxLiFeXx]

sorry, i was replying to fivepointsix. No effence intended for you, and yes it is a mighty beautiful song. Alela we love youuu :]

[papillon770000]

What is 'Skins'?

[otisia]

i guess it's some teenybopper soap in britain. i keep asking myself if they put their fans up to mentioning the name on this page, cause the fans very diligent about putting the name of who sent them to the page. -vincent caldoni, (the director)

[xXLuVxxLiFeXx]

You should watch skins sometime. Although it may have some slighty outragous parts to it, but its very interesting to watch. The issues it opens up is amazing.

[otisia]

had to look it up on-line. actually looks something i'd have enjoyed when i was younger. i'm really stoked they chose alela's song.

[Smellycat91]

yum

[ravenscheer23]

I heard this on Skins and had to find it, it's epic.

[ddaassiiee]

Wow, Amazing song, heard it on skins :)

[senorduck666]

like the song loads, think the videos weird - loads... especially the freaky old guydancing

[Smellycat91]

OMG I LOVE IT!!!! ..<3 skins 4eva x

[milleemorphine]

I think Skins should release an album. ^-^

[fivepointsix]

shame it was used on that crappy tv show.

[xXLuVxxLiFeXx]

Shame your wrapped up in your own little world to call it a crappy programme, when you probably havnt even seen it yourself. Or only watched part of it.

Why say that when there are clearly so many fans on this page.

[xpolkadotgirlx]

this song is beautiful.

[radhaika]

i love hows it kinda folky

&hearts;

[Jessicarr14]

herd this on skins (Y)

[DavidVilla2]

Funny how the song matches the scene

[paulmusssterben]

I usually don't like this kind of songwriting but Adela has such a lovely voice. love it. approved. ;-)

if you type in limpuro, you find an awesome short film. gansta style

[aandbreatheme]

amazing! hear it on skins where it was just perfect

[chocomaniac88]

This was perfect on Skins

[vashtismith12]

i just heard this off skins! haha i love it

[sovereignglory]

It's like she listened to Neil Young's "Powderfinger" and decided to write a song like it.

[iamorion4026]

saw her play on feb 18th. wonderful.

[wastelandnumberseven]

beautiful

[UmpaLoempa]

truely amazing. I discovered this beauty 2 years ago, still unknown to many.

Now she will play in my hometown for 40 € show.

:-)

[PapaDocN3D]

This is one of those amazing performances where it's a pleasure to let you heart become blistered by such an incredible voice.

[JSAJunkie]

I totally stumbled on this. Never heard of her before ...

Wonderful, beautiful, dark, and haunting. Awesome song.

[sajcanpeanuts]

[1000timesUNAVAILABLE]

No one can be untouched after listening to this...

[mimi00fashionista]

[PLAYLSTR]

A dream she had

[oeddawg]

hey! carson ellis did the letter printing on the intro didn't she!

[oeddawg]

...guess not!

[shnaaarf]

I noticed no one put a bar of soap in that box.....

[Stoirmeacha]

I'm really REALLY starting to love New Weird America....

[BBBFfools]

On this song I get a call from my Grandmother that my Mother was died that she was atackted trow something bigs I think everyday of her

[naimadevil]

Wow. This video is beautifully haunting and her voice is the best my ears have had the privilage to hear.

[boubie29]

i love this song, so relax...

[kinksta24]

brilliantly executed, Caldoni.

[scottandjoeshow]

She really does have an interesting voice. I found out about her through the free itunes singles. The album is really good too.

[honeybuzzard2]

acceptable

[theworldisbaddd]

what?acceptable!i think that you don' t know what do you say because she has a great voice very very nice.

[honeybuzzard2]

[weekhas]

[IrrelevantElephant2]

their self sacrifice brought him back

[TheHoleInTheGround]

Splendid song and video. Really.

My compliments.

[densefawg]

WATCH CFR/NAU

[BeeWatch]

This song have enchanted me so much, that I couldn't prevent myself to buy some tickets for her concert in Paris the 03/19/2008 at "La Cigale" the next day I heard it.

I look forward to this moment! :)

[aliceinehell]

This is gorgeous. What is the song about?

[oeddawg]

well, as i've always seen it, it seems like a civil wartime anthem from the point of view of a daughter in a southern family. it would be easier to figure out and better clarified if it threw in the word yankee or something. haha.

that's just always how i saw it, a sad haunting melody with lyrics of haplessness and confederate pride? the video helped my idea of this a bit.

[humorig]

ThanX Marja for the tip!

[mnoort]

it's a good easy song

only 4 chords, really to the roots

but it's good

[Leibo07]

Alela, you said it was inspired by a dream of yours. Do you dream a lot of Neil Young?

The theme is very much like his 'Powderfinger'.

[pearllpop]

Excellent!

[bazardu83]

Rich and complex. A special work. Very proud to have been a part of it.
