I hate to be a compulsive spelling corrector, but the song is written by Dillie Kean, not Dilly.

She's an amazing Irish actress, songwriter and comedian, best known for her work in Fascinating Aida, billed in the US as "absolutely magnificent".

@TheGrimLurker Thanks. Fixed.

Fucking amazing. Beautiful. Moving. Powerful. Deeply emotionally moving. And all sorts of other things that I can't think of since it's 2am.

I didn't see this performance, but when I heard her sing it live in SF I was in shock and awe. It brought tears to my eyes, literally. She's fucking amazing. There's no other way to describe this woman. I only hope some day I get the chance to really sit down with her and have an actual conversation.

She's got a way of tapping into really deep emotions, i'm fascinated...

I cried.

@kelian69 Well, "Look Mummy, No Hands" was written long before Anastasia was a gleam in any animator's eye.

reminds me too much of  "once upon a december"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,

Little boy blue and the man in the moon.

"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,

But we'll get together then, dad.

You know we'll have a good time then."

T_T I'm totally trying not to cry right now. This song is so deep. She put so much emotion in it, as usual. I can't believe how amazing she is.

[CreatureofMasquerade]
