Rachel - I think that comment from MsRegan2009 was actually from Julianne Regan, the original writer and performer of this song. I have always loved her voice and this is a nice cover too. Well done.

Wow. I discovered this video by accident and was completely sucked in by your beautiful voice. I've since watched almost all of your other uploads and not a dud amongst 'em. Thank you, you made a miserable guy happier. Brilliant.
This is one of the songs I rarely like covers of, the original was so perfect to begin with, but you have done it great justice. This is one of, of not my true favourite song of all time.
Great version... I just wish I could give you 5* instead of the stupid like/dislike they have nowadays.
I was told sent this link by a friend who knows I love music and appreciate a good voice. You have a beautiful voice and I loved the song. When are you going to produce a CD of your own?
Thanks Chantal, glad you like it. I'm writing more of my own songs at the moment and have been been in contact with a few studios, so I may well have a CD soon - which doesn't quite seem real somehow, but is so exciting!
I agree that it would be lovely to see your guitar playing as well. That's a lovely bass run you have on 'maybe 'll just' - very faithful to the original. Very well done - I'm a fan!
you have a beautiful voice and you sing like an angel . I think your video is wonderful and I thank you for singing it . all about eve is a beautiful song and your beautiful voice and your wonderful music complement the beautiful song beautifully
it saddens me that people can no longer comment without using "better" or "worse" in their opinions. Why can't anyone just say "that was awesome!" and be done with it?
I never learn stuff the way you're supposed. When I watched the video of this live I didn't think I'd be able to learn it properly so I made up a version within my capabilities.
I spent a long time trying to play songs just as they were in recording,s and always being just a little bit dissatisfied. Then I realised the point of a cover is to put a little bit of YOU in there - I stopped aiming for note-perfect, and just played (and sang) what I thought sounded good (or maybe even better), suited my instrument and voice, was easier to finger, sometimes different keys and chords I thought suited me better, etc... so good for you! ;-)
your voice sounds ethereal... reminiscent of elizabeth frazer of cocteau twins.. and i love it when u sing and closes your eyes... very haunting rendition.. keep it up.
Cool!!!!!!....i wanna this version, your version, but i´ll never find anywhere, so i download the video and converting to mp3 =D now i can´t stop to play the song!!! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!
i'm a huge AAE fan...and this is one of my favourite songs of all times...love this version...but to say u're a little like Tori Amos is a little much...lol...though very enjoyable...and cute :-)
u r gorgeous that was a beautiful cover of a beautiful song could you please let me have the tab for this song and tell me what guitar your playing it sounds amazing thanx
excellant girl!! That guitar work isnt bad either. Happens to one of my fave songs- i sing as well..Perfect harmonies with u via You tube Good Luck xx
phew! ive been an aae fan since the early 90's and always loved this song you really made me shiver like the original did back then simply beautiful! wow
I found you videos via a Kate Nash cover you did. I am a massive AAE fan and Martha's Harbour is one of my faves. Your version is faithful and your voice is beautiful. Many thanks for brightening a dull day.
I like you, rachel. i am very forward sometimes. what i was trying to say, is that you don't just have the talent sitting there, you must put some time into delivering the final result.I like ADAM NORSWORTHY, he is self taught, and no doubt was born with the talent. But that man dedicates his entire life to perfect his talents.
Oh I see, well yes I have put in a lot of work. I play nearly every day and that takes effort because I'm the working mother of an autistic 6 year old. I find my whole life rewarding and music is an important part of that - but I don't think I'd want to dedicate my whole life to it; I need variety and balance. I hope I can carry on playing though, I can see msyelf improving all the time.
no could i, i have 3 baby girls. adam has no family-his choice. he choses music. I really like your taste of music, similar to mine. I'm going to see kt tunstall in concert on 23rd oct. do you gig live?
I'm going to that KT Tunstall gig too! It's on my 30th birthday, how lucky is that?! I do gig but childcare permitting - I've got one next Friday hopefully.
i'm sorry but there is no way you came out of your mum's belly with ability to play and sing without any work. It's a very clever way to attract an audience, they've tried that one in x-factor already.
I don't understand what you mean. Are you implying I've had singing and guitar lessons? If so, I'm very flattered because I haven't. There are lots and lots of people who can sing and play better than me who haven't had lessons either. Musical ability is something that some people are born with.
AAE is one of my all time favorite bands and your version of this classic song gave me goose bumps. Great vocal and great arrangement. You really make the music arrangement your own with the additions to the original chords.
Hi .. this is beautiful <3 !!!! You are great ! I think you just got a new subscriber.. Check out my vids.. maybe you could subscribe to me 2 =) Have anice summer !!!
my desire to be able to sing is so profound that there are times when i feel i would give almost any thing just for a few perfect notes .you have a life time of what i want. you are a very lucky lady Rachel .touched by god. should you feel bad for me don't. every now and then i improvise a solo that allows. me to feel some small measure of talent .lol
You're every bit as good a singer as the original. This is one of my favorite songs. Do you write originals? Come give mine a listen if you can. Thanks, Jason
Two postings in two days is far better than a Ferroro Rocher toting Ambassador! ;) This looks far less painful. As usual you have me rifling through my CDs (remember those?). Splendid, reminds me of Static and Silence by the Sundays. Thank you again, you're a February Star! Keep it up! Please :)
In 1923 a guy named Billy fell down in a candy store and his pants came down. He choked on a Hershey and...er...unless you feed a frog to a tiger or something, he'll come back and...hang on, I think I've pissed myself...Sorry, I'll be back with a better curse once I've changed...sorry..
