Happy Rhodes performing "Temporary and Eternal"

A HIGHER QUALITY version of this is now up, posted by xenussister. The end doesn't cut off either.

Happy Rhodes performing "Temporary and Eternal" for the Living Room Concert series. With her is Kevin Bartlett and Carl Adami. This is the same version that ultimately appeared on her album The Keep.


This was either recorded or broadcast (audio-only) on Tuesday, May 16, 1995. Happy also performed "Save Our Souls," "Summer," and "Hold Me" but no videos of them have ever surfaced.

I can hardly believe this is the same voice! amazing

[k8fan]

What is especially surprising is that Happy is self-taught as both a vocalist and musician.

I discovered Happy with this song a year and a half ago and she gave me goosepimples.

Her extraordinary voice, her lyrics, her songs and her so awesome sense of humour : she is a really talented woman. Her voice is a jewel.

I remember that at the first listening, I wasn't watching my screen and thought : "Oh my god, the mix between the two voices is magical !" and then, when my look went at the video, guess what I saw... This incredible girl !!!

I love her so much !

[toni7777ful]

Her voice is so beautiful! Especially the chest register!

super klasse musik

[purg4t0r1]

What a remarkable voice. How could I not have heard about her until now?

[xenussister]

@1spiritualalchemy1 She's always been very upfront in interviews about the fact that she learned how to sing high by singing along with The Kick Inside and Never Forever (and Queen too). She isn't copying Kate though, her vocal cords are just like that. The more you hear her high voice the more it stops sounding like Kate and starts sounding like Happy's high voice. Every now and then though, here and there, it's uncanny.

[1spiritualalchemy1]

@k8fan Maybe self taught by very obviously an emulator of Kate Bush on her highs.

what a wonderful talent Happy has....
