There just could not be anything more beautiful. For those wondering about the instrument, it's a low-G ukulele tuned a step down to Bb. This is her normal setup for ukulele, in solo material and in the Nickel Creek days.
@burpo It is a heavy song, not her normal sense of optimism. I bet the dislikes felt it was a bit too down. It is a wonderful song though, honest, sincere, her wonderful heartfelt sound really is a heart tugging force. It is blues of the most touching kind.
THIS IS WHAT GOOD SONG WRITING IS ALL ABOUT, Really touching peoples most personal and intimate feelings, Just read the comments, WOW what a great solo performance as well. Thanks for posting it
This song gave me chill bumps. How hauntingly sad yet beautiful. It's like how a parent might feel letting go of a child who's leaving home for the first time.
Very pretty voice, but I'm worried about "ddoublled" thinking she is the most "beautiful girl in the world". She's not even the most beautiful girl in the room....she's just a really good singer....try to control yourself "ddoublled"
@sandmanmac beautiful means lots of things--a shallow perception of the word beautiful may not pick up on the many layers of beauty this woman has wrapped around her. besides, ddoublled can think whomever he wants to is #1. maybe we're all "worried" that sandmanmac is so "worried" about other people's likes and dislikes---perhaps it shows a little overcompensation for personal shame and shortcomings, eh sandmanmac?
Perhaps "you" are a little too worried about "my Likes and dislikes" that YOU'RE over-compensating......hmmmmm...How ironic..... Admit it ...she just simply isn't that hot, that's all I'm saying
If I saw her on the street, then no, I wouldn't be blow away. But good googly moogly, that voice, plus the heart and soul that she puts into her singing? Yeah, it makes her much more attractive than the latest zero personality Hollywood starlet of the hour (Megan Fox anyone?).
But then again, I'm kinda like a girl. There's so much more to beauty than looks.
She makes me want to be a musician again. I hate the fake world of the classical guitarists. That world has been so repulsive to me, especially since I moved to my current location, that I just left that world of music all together. I dont really know how to say it, but Sara Watkins just seems unpretentious, real, homely even... Favorite musician. She warms my heart.

Thrilled to see Nickel Creek's fiddler and vocalist, Sara Watkins, when I put on the last few minutes of a late show 2nite! I know I picked a heart-breaking song to share, but it made me think of a young fb friend who needs to know she's not alone...
When her voice no longer soothes me, I'll be in the grave!

@sandmanmac Not a bad retort! Not bad at all.....you even get bonus points for
using the word ironic in a truly (albeit theoretical) ironic
context...but you really just repeated what I said, so you do lose
points in the creativity department. Don't be so hard on yourself
though, sport, you'll get 'em next time!
You do realize that she is literally the only woman in the room in
this video, right?
Just makes your main statement a little weak, that's all I'm saying-
