Amy Macdonald - Shilo (Neil Diamond Cover)

Amy plays a beautiful acoustic version of Neil Diamond's hit about an imaginary friend named "Shilo".

Live from Neil's 'Electric Proms' concert on October 30,2010 (Amy was one of Neil's special guests).

Lyrics:

Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own.
When children play
Seems like you end up alone.
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind.

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name.
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came, and we'd play.

Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could.
Held my hand out and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile,
She made me smile.

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name.
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came, and you'd stay.

Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
got to go, she said
She'd know that I'd understand,
I understand.
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name.
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came.

Best version of Shilo? No way! sounds like a Melanie/Shakira impersonator

[jennert]

@rafiti555 Shakira?You gotta be kidding (and thanks for the thumbs down).

[vidvodify]

Amazing! Why is she not on Radio One? or Jools Holland? She is the best talent in Britain today by a clear mile. When will she get the recognition she deserves? You go Amy, we love you.......Dan McKenzie, Chobham.

Top stuff, Amy has been well known for a few years and is doing very well, keep Radio 1 playing the same old sh*t and leave Amy off!
