Covering this song as a goodbye to listening to Thom Yorke's music and Radiohead until we hear something substantive from him...showing solidarity with P@l3stinianz. #AThomforPeace In 2017 Thom Yorke ignored artist calls for him not to perform in Israel given the government's treatment of P@l3stine. He said, "playing in a country is not the same as endorsing them." I hope at this point, speakin...

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hop...

What a beautiful message. I think I hold a similar sentiment to you, and although times are seeming almost insurmountably difficult, I do really believe that people will find common ground where its given. I'm really hopeful that art will be at the center of that, as it has been time and time again.
Beautiful
id love to hear this produced from a studioo. you would definatly have an audience
Too bad there isn't many covers of this on YT, this is so absolutely amazing, chill, and proper... I enjoyed it very much.
Wowwwwww this is incredible. Such a hauntingly beautiful song. And the gender representation is making me feel seen and like it's ok to be myself in my gender fluid identity. Thank you. ❤
Yaaaay thank you! This means the world!
Annie Lennox you are not
This dude is ruining the original song
ANNIE COME BAAAACK 😭😭😭
Since you didn't take the decision to be X with much conviction, don't be surprised when others don't take it seriously. You shouldn't require other people to affirm your identity - it's a 'you' thing. You are very lovely, and perfect as you are.
I'm practicing releasing expectations on how other people view me anyway
I find this assessment to be a tad insensitive. Gender is BUILT off of people’s expectations and maintained through affirmation. It’s a much more nuanced matter than you’re making it seem.
@@20000dino thanks for your comment. I hear that my response landed as insensitive, which I don't intend to be - so I'm going to think about this and respond in more detail. (hard to convey nuance on youtube comments, wouldn't you agree?) sidenote: i'd be so interested to hear you and @sillybollox2244 chat about this as it seems you have contrasting views. He says identity is a "you" thing - not something others affirm, whereas you're saying it's built on other people's expectations and affirmation.. interesting! Spoiler alert: I believe it's both
@20000dino Insensitive? The truth shouldn't be crafted around feelings. Knowing yourself doesn't require external validation - true identity doesn't come from responses on Instagram or Facebook. Not worrying about or trying to second guess how other people see you is true liberation and strength of character.
@@20000dinocan I check who you were replying to? I think @sillybollox2244 and I each think you're talking to us haha
Wow, so beautiful, thank you
@@heartlightintuition you're welcome
Dude... You're a dude. I'm sorry you're going through whatever mental issues you are and I don't hate or dislike you for these problems but this is not healthy or ok. Good luck with everything but I hope you get the help you need.
@@dmkrawczyk I appreciate the care inherent in your response, and that you watched my video. I accept that you view gender as a binary. Just sharing the truth of my experience in a time/place/culture where more options are possible. I'd also say that it was other people viewing me as a woman - calling me "she" or "ma'am" in public after I grew my hair out - which made me realise gender was more flimsy than we make it out to be. When I'm dressed a certain way and don't speak, there are people who assume I'm a woman. On TH-cam, someone even commented on my Aftershocks music video that my low voice in the song must be "fake" because they assumed I was a woman based on how I look. So I'm letting go of using other people's readings as the basis of my identity. I enjoy leaning into and embracing the ambiguous quality of my existence rather than being rigid and "correcting" people in those moments, asserting I am only a dude, and adjusting my behavior and appearance to reinforce that perception
@@mantawoman_ what a great & level headed answer! im glad there is a discussions & not just people yelling names at each other <3
Awesome 🎉. Thank you for your story. 😊 I so glad your state cares about you. I wish all other states would do the same thing ❤

Hello gorgeous soul! Tn is my neck of the woods. So glad I found your music through the conductors channel.

This is great
thank you !
Look up Structural Dissociation (trauma)
Saw you on David Bruce's channel and came over to hear more of your music. I'm sure someone else has told you that they are reminded of Scarlet Envy, a former contestant on Drag Race, when they see you. Would love to see her playing your mother in one of your music videos you are both so stunning. Don't know if it's musically appropriate but some of what you played in David's video had me wanting to hear some folk fiddle in there cause it gave me shades of a blue grass feel. I love blue grass. Wondering if you've ever been asked to sit in with Goat Rodeo.
Thank you! She's stunning. You would enjoy this video of me playing with Yo-Yo Ma and Rhiannon Giddens, if you're into Goat Rodeo - many years back! th-cam.com/video/O8EMo-_6ynI/w-d-xo.html (St James Infirmary Blues Yo-Yo Ma)
Beautiful! Although I'll admit I felt a little bit lost rhythmically in some parts. Maybe it's because the yangqin doesn't have percussion or a bass to ground it. Maybe if you add some very low notes on the beats without notes, you could get a stronger pulse without forgoing the syncopation feel. But that's just an idea. Still beautiful!
So prettyyyy
LOL brillant!
I'm embarrassed and honored that I am the first to comment. Wow, lovely.
thank you :)
Such a cute video 🩷🤍🩵
thank you! :)
