  • yes she did

  • OMG!!! she is such a great singer!

  • She is a very great talated singer-songwriter. I'm from Brazil and I'm one oh her biggest fan.

  • Chocolate Genius does a killer cover of this song. Seek It Out.

  • cant believe this got only 391,156 views!!

  • It's all in the genes people, with her parents you just can't help but have incredible talent.....great music

  • (general) well without rufus we probably wouldnt be talking about her...i liked her original hard-to-place song structure when i first saw her with rufus, but i don't know, i dont feel like she knows the problems of the "run of the mill," etc like she sings about...no, nowhere near dylan......she should become a social worker for like 10 years/make a sacrafice ...and then sing, actually they all should...these whiteys singing about other peoples tough lives...hehehe...

  • @SidVidd What's a "whitey"?

  • @SidVidd She owns a very very expensive bakery in one of the wealthiest towns in the US.

  • the part where she sings ' kindness is as far as the sun, the sun

    the sun, the sun, run, run, run, run'- I could just play it over and overrr! her voice gives me chills, she's amazing

  • such a nice nice song!

  • Very cool. She has remarkable depth and soul. What's not to like!

  • At "These nights that I've been all alone......", I literally came.

  • que dire de plus..............

  • Sounds like Martha is related to Ricki Lee Jones.

  • dont understand how anyone could not like this her voice is urghh fantastic and her song aint bad either!

  • Martha,

    See you in Australia!

    XO

  • She's quite good.

  • love it!! absolutely amazing!<3

  • she's amazing  (:

  • She sounds like Lil from Rugrats.

  • PERSONALLY, I'll take this extremely talented, obviously intelligent & blatantly sexy woman about any way I could..........Thanks for the Post.

  • nice enough - but i prefer her dad

  • @badsport2008 i personally like her brother

  • she's so talented. i could listen to her voice forever. so inspiring

  • She sounds like a fucking munchkin... is this for real?

  • @Goodness250 You like Justin Bieber. I really don't think you have the right to judge real music. She is a thousand times more a musician Bieber will ever be.

  • @Jillaroo79 Maybe I haven't given her a fair chance, I mean, I admit I haven't listened to any of her songs that she hasn't inhaled helium before singing.

  • i thought rufus wainwright was irish?

  • @proudy1992 no he is from Canada

  • I love Martha. She's one true Canadian talent <3

  • God fucken beautiful one of the best modern day folk singers there is

  • martha you are fantastic!!!!!!!!!

  • 1ST HEARD OF HER ON A SAMPLE MOJO C.D YEARS BACK. STUDIO VERSION THOUGH.

  • Does she have anything to do with Rufus Wainwright? Her brother or something?

    She's fantastic.

  • @LadyDancer55 Brother is Rufus and father is Loudon. I think even their mother was a musician.

  • @juurviljasupp yup Kate McGarrigle. it was her and her sister Anna. They have the biggest and BEST musical families :D

  • Her voice gives me goosebumps!

  • this chick loves high heels

  • she's heaven

  • Love you, Martha

  • Love you, Martha

  • An Amazing artist! I am looking forward to hearing her live in Salmon Arm at the Roots and Blues Festival!

  • I didnt like her at first.. but there's something on her that makes me keep watching ...

  • Highly overrated!

  • what is this song even about?

  • Yes "Chick With A Dick"

  • yeah your right, chick with a dick. Just thought the line was "trick with the dick and the gift of the gab" , i thought she was singing about being swooned by a womanizer. but your right. she certainly has a way with words. great singer song writer.

  • I dont much like her songs but I do like her!

    some of its ok, but ''chick with the dick'' transvestite with a whisky wud have been more palettable na L O V E M A R T H A

  • She looks absolutly like Helen Miren.......

  • trick with the dick ?

  • chick with a dick I guess

  • Did she say "The chick with a dick???"

  • Why yes she did! :)

  • she isn't a very neat lady another song of hers is called mother fucking asshole or so

  • @Oranjeappel She looks pretty clean to me.

    "Bloody Motherfucking Asshole" is the song. Brilliant song. It's about her dad.

  • @MetalTurtal LOL yep she did, haha she's awesome :D

  • @MetalTurtal

    I believe she did!

  • @MetalTurtal ...with the gift for the gab.

  • @MetalTurtal ...with the gift for the gab.

  • @MetalTurtal ....with a gift for the gab.

  • @MetalTurtal

    she sure did!

    that's my martha!!!!!!

  • @MetalTurtal chick with a fucking dick.

  • @MetalTurtal

    She did!!

  • @MetalTurtal she sure did, she wrote this song about your mum

  • she's soooo goood !

  • Check out a duet (here on You Tube) with Dan Kelly taken from the Australian SBS quiz show Rockwiz. It is a cover of Bryan Ferry's "Slave to Love" It will make you melt. She also did one with Adrian Belew is equally as good.

  • just heard the song she sang with snow patrol, i lked that when it came out but only on hearing it just now, revisiting it could i see how beautiful it was, so i thought i'd see what her stuff was like, i didnt have high hopes, i thought she was going to be a fashionable musician's muscian, but i've heard 2 songs of hers in past 5 mins and although they lack the obvious catchiness i new they would, i really really like what shes doing, shall carry on explorin, any recommendations of her songs

  • she is amazing..

  • @kennedymeow I thought she was good in that song.

  • I've just discovered her!! SOOOO amazing!

  • @minesdecarli you should check out her brother as well. His name is Rufus Wainwright.

  • I already know him! Thanks anyway for the tip!!!

  • why does she always sing faster live?

  • I agree inkheaart

  • No, it reminds me of the early records by Rickie Lee Jones. The song actually very much stylistically salutes "Last Chance Texaco" by R.L.J. Wonderful voice, though.

  • My thoughts exactly.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow!!! I love it!! I also love Kate and Anna!! Good Job!!!

  • Search Kate and Anna McGariggle for her Mom and Aunt. I saw them on the folk circuit in the mid 70's and they are still very popular.

  • Great Song!

  • apparently i sound like her, which is an extream compliment! :O she is outstanding!

  • i love her music, i always play her songs on my guitar!!

  • The Wainwrights'!!

  • I know she's less experimental than Rufus, but I actually prefer her music. What a talented pair of siblings!

  • hmmmm, they dont compare.

  • and their father Loudon is even better then both of them!

  • I agree, and I also like sister Lucy better...All have wonderful voices, but only Loudon can write those brilliant self-critical songs!

  • yeah! omg i love loudon!!!

  • What an amazingly talented family!

  • She's amazing, was just watching a program about Rufus, and they mentioned Martha and I had to look her up. She's amazing.

  • Beautiful

  • She is wonderful in every way that I can think of.

  • i like that song, amazing

  • martha is amazing.

  • sounds like a female bob dylan

  • @moosemuncher

    haha omg i said the same thing!

  • Damn........this was really good....

    Martha Wainwright, you got me.

    I was expecting something like

    your father, a little off beat.

    But instead, I heard a flower,

    just really wonderful, amazing.

    This was my first listen....

    but not my last, I am off to

    get your CD.  Cheers!

  • she's amazing isn't she

  • Saw you in Vancouver and always watch if you're on the tube anywhere...Letterman's in love with you and so am I but I guess you have many, many men who would love to hear you sing them a lullaby. Please keep being true to yourself and sharing your gift with the world! Thank you Martha.

  • LoL!

    That's the first thing I was thinking.

    Much cuter though. ;-)

  • I agree though she reminds me more of Leonard Cohen... No wonder she was in his film too...

  • I love this song. She´s pretty. But her brother is way more girly. Lol.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG. it's so amazing, her voice is just too perfect for it. when she repeats "run, run, run", it gives me chills every time!

  • sounds this modest mouse song! idig it!

  • he is right actually

    same kinda chord progression and with the tempo and all.

  • love her voice! found her through her brother rufus, hehe.

  • Martha has such a wonderfull voice :)

  • lol, i told ya id find one, i found one of yer comments on the very first video that appeared when i typed her name in

  • Outstanding performer delivering an outstanding song

  • dude get some ears

  • hmmm

    well I can understand her fine for the most part, I can see where your coming from. I dunno but hey, she is damn awesome and certainly does put alot of emotion into her songs

  • Oh woops i didn't mean to give this comment a thumbs own. i clicked it wrong, in-fact i totally agree. If anyone's complaining about not being able to hear what words she's saying they obviously don't speak English at all.

  • I loved martha since the first time i listened to her. Talented like her father (thanks mr loudon!) but in a different type of music ( altought it is quite similiar in a lot of things.

    And plus she´s hot.

  • she is just soooo hot too.

  • I love martha, she has such an amazing Voice :)

  • I <3 Martha!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!

  • not as good as her father

  • it's not a question of not being as good as her father. She's different and she's as talented as her father.

  • ill never get bored of this song

    i covered it on my channel xxx

  • i love this song

  • I met her :)

    AND she's amazing :)

    I love this live version <3

  • she's hot

  • u said it

  • nice to see you again, Martha

  • Ireland.Heaven on Earth!

  • She's still my favourite female solo artist. It's amazing how sexy she can be, with no effort. Her husband must be laughing. She gives one of the best live performances of any modern day singer/song writer.

  • wow, it's the first time i listen to her, and i think she's fantastic!! amazing! :) !

  • i love this song, and it sounds even better live!

  • Incredible voice!!! Saw her at a gig lastnight, and she blew me away......x

  • i love this song !!!

  • Saw her in Utrecht other day - amazingg!!!

  • so this is "pretty little martha"? :)

  • Saw her yesterday here in Denmark, got backstage ^^ (In family with the Wainwright/Lanken family so :D )

  • Wow. You lucky sod haha. I saw her in Manchester UK at Bridgewater hall. it was such an intimate gig. I'm 17, but I'd still ask her out given half the chance :D

  • Well if i wasnt in family with her then me too :P

  • Haha. I have no idea what it is about her. I love it when she does that little leg kick thing whilst she's singing. I hate the video to 'You cheated me' though. The guy who did that should be shot, because he'd obviously never listen to Martha

  • Indeed and you should meet her as i did.

    Shes wonderful :)

  • Well if I ever do, i'll send you a message :D I'll definitely be seeing her live again. Until then, I'll live in envy of you haha.

  • Hehe :D

  • So ~Good Bob DYLAN ASKED HER OUT!!!!!!!!!!

    Bobs Sick Tough So Keep Him In Your toughts.

  • Is that really true? Did Dylan ask Martha Wainwright out or did he ask her mother?

  • Yeah.....So SHE Claims.

    I'd Say its True......This Woman Could Make a Rusty Nail Weep.

  • I agree she's a good-looking woman, but not really my usually type. But I'm open-minded. White girl has a big booty, which I like. And I like her natural look. Anytime she sings she looks better looking don't you think?

  • She is lovely and I really enjoy this song. Hope she will do it again and again!

  • intense, hey

  • fuckin sick

  • just saw her shes funny

  • i saw her by accident in boston opening up for Madeline Petroux, she was so good I bought her album in the foyer

  • i would rim martha wainwright

    WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THAT I ASK YOU

    WHAT DO YOU SAY

    thx for your time

  • i concur :P

  • :) Lov !!

  • u dont get much of this quality any more!

  • i was surprised myself how well her first album went with lazy walking trips across a hot finnish country landscape a few summers ago. that is how the mood of an album can be transformed into something else - from city clubs into a soundtrack of a chillout holiday. This was the fírst track to get me into the mood.. very sharp the lyrics on the album though - smiling devilishly with them.

  • I totally agree great voice

  • to the person below. theres not alot of music that is original everything has its influence. martha is awesome :) x

  • she has a lovely voice! heard her for the first time with snow patrol, and had to find what else she'd done :)

  • LOL..."set the fire to the third bar" i guess... looking at this vid for the same reason.

    P.s I know the Snow Patrol Album was out since a long time =)

  • I love Rufus so I bought her cd when it came out. I didn't love it at first, but I listened to it and most of the songs really grew on me, esp. this one. I really love it now. The part in the middle that's about "the run of the mill, destitute and the cold" is so beautiful. LOVE her. Katie Melua is good, their tone is similar, I guess. But Katie has a more generic sweet voice, and Martha's singing is more distinctive. I think she is truly unique.

  • sounds very 60s

  • yeah katie melua does sound similar, but that's probably due to katie being a massive fan of martha or something...martha's far more of a legendary musician. but yep!

  • yeah katie melua does sound similar, but that's probably due to katie being a massive fan of martha or something...martha's far more of a legendary musician. but yep!

  • Just sounds almost the same as katie melua, its good but man they sound similar.....

  • This is fine

  • is there an echo in here?..lol

  • it's a real shame that drug-glamourising karaoke artists like amy winehouse and her ilk steal the spotlight with stolen material when there is true soulful music coming from hugely talented people like martha. negative comments are for lonely and unhappy people who measure their worth by scrutinizing others. try to turn the high powered perception upon yourself and dont be disappointed when you find nada...

  • "drug-glamourising karaoke artists like amy winehouse and her ilk steal the spotlight with stolen material"

    "negative comments are for lonely and unhappy people who measure their worth by scrutinizing others."

    I love the taste of irony in the morning.

  • Amy Winehouse doesnt glamorise drugs, have you seen the photos when she's off her face, man it aint pretty! And as for "stealing the spotlight", haha, you think performers like her want as much time in the spotlight!? Why do you reckon that performers through the years have turned to booze and drugs through all the pressure and shit that comes with fame.

    If this girl Martha had half the negative attention Amy does she'd go off the rails aswell. "Karaoke artist"? "stolen material"?

    Yeah, right.
