    Here I am, watching this video and listening to the wonderful song, I am awfully disturbed when thinking about how few followers/ subscribers Eddie has on TH-cam 😳😒🥺!
    Hope, Eddie and all her fellow artists will receive more appreciation in the future, because they all deserve it so very much 🤗😍🥰😘!

    I think that Eddi Reader is a real angel in a Scotswoman's body...the most beautiful voice on the planet.

    Amazing. Just Amazing. I too heard the transatlantic version the other night. I was actually asleep with the tv left on when this amazingly beautiful voice woke me. This is a work of art and nothing short.

    We are indeed fragile like dragonflies. There is something magic about dragonflies and damselflies. And this song is MAGIC to the power of 10.

    Spellbinding.
    Went to see her at The Leamington Spa Assembly last week. A special couple of hours she and the chaps gave.
    Her voice continues to stand up. As tall as ever.
    Follow My Tears Eddi...

    Been following Eddi since I first saw her, with Fairground Attraction, in 1987. Been following her amazing voice ever since, both solo and with various collections of musicians and collaborators. Her voice is both complex, and yet simple and direct.

    Wow, I love Eddi Reader's voice but had never heard this one before. Timeless. I already want "Wild Mountainside" played at my funeral (cheerful, I know, I'm not planning to pop off yet a while) but now I quite fancy this one too. Hmmmm.

    Great to see this wonderful song here. Pity about the first half of the introduction. There's 19 seconds missing from the beginning which detracts from what makes it such an amazing work.
    I heard this song played on the radio and had to find a place to buy it. I'm rarely so taken by a song. There are other great tracks on the album nearly as good.

    Eddi's version appears on her 2009 CD 'Love is the way'. The song is written by Boo Hewerdine and his own version is on the 2008 mini-CD 'Toy shop No.1'

    her singing the shipping forecast and be spellbound.

    Is there a better female vocalist to come out of the UK in the last 50 years? Probably not.
