Sia has a lot, and I mean a lot, of such great compositions. What she is now is very mediatic, which is not to say it isn't good, but it sort of obscures her older work. Check out albums Some People Have REAL Problems and Colour the Small One.
Sia's voice is absolutely hauntingly beautiful. It touches the soul! What an amazing gift she has and how fortunate we are that it is shared with the world.
You chose the right adjective for sure! She reminds me of Layne Staley. Sounds nothing like him but she's an absolute master of haunting beautiful pain! 😪💔
that's because feeling good about yourself is not about how much others adore you, but about how much you adore yourself. I don't think many people understand how pervasive childhood hardships can be.
@Paul-uv4wg Yes, that's ultimately up to the person how they choose to deal with past trauma. However, she's loved by millions for her artistic music. That has to mean something in a world where millions of people are literally loved by no one.
Perhaps she does, and its not about that, but aboit expression and being understood. I like her humour at the end, "that was a good drum beat"? it can be interpreted as deflection but it also conveys "im at peace with it" (the attempted suicide that the song was about).
The greatest vocalists are those who surrender and become a vessel for the spirit and the message moving through them into our souls. Sia is a singular genius.
Couldn't agree more!!! Naviše! Don't you go anywhere except around this crazy world of ours. Spread your gift!!! Thank you. I listen to your voice regularly. milker
“Don’t be sad.” I don’t know how many times I’ve come back to this song. She’s so expressive. I love the drop “ouch”. It seems to me she’s unaware of how amazing she is. Sia has the ability to draw the listener in to her web of lyrical mastery and leave us wanting more.
Sia is a truly talented singer. And I say true because she doesn't just sing, but goes further and uses her voice creatively, without losing her technique. Real artist.
It’s now 2020, and this song isn’t just just the finale of 6 feet, which was a masterpiece, this song is the triumph of Sia just being Sia. It’s absolutely gut wrenching, and beautiful at the same time. The song, and it’s artist, is once in a lifetime. Brings me to tears every single time I hear it. Utter perfection.
............................... lost my mom and dad... my sister..... most friends.... life is still so beautiful tho. Sobbing on my laptop listening to this beautiful song. This song has pulled me through so much...... thank you Sia.
I hope this beautiful piece brings you some peace. Sia sings for all of us, our pain and our fears. She gives them voice when ours are but a whisper. I hope you find some comfort in this, and for what it's worth, I'm sending some love.
@@Ohm10-8 So often people say, don't be sad etc, I can't do that, sadness is important, sadness brought us this beautiful song. But pushing down that sadness... it can break us. I think listening to songs like this give air to the emotions inside us that need it. I'm sorry that everything that has happened to you did. It's unfair. But as i said, I hope a little kindness, and beauty, can make today.. 1% less shitty.
@@simongodfrey4756 Iv'e been doing better,, a lot better than I thought I could. Sadness is important. It's very easy to fall to sadness that is still consumes me rather than try to rebuild some type of happiness. This version of Breath Me is incredibly powerful. It pretty much sums up human emotion, although each of us being different how we manage our emotions we can get through hard times. Your kind words are worth way more than 1 percent my friend... and again I thank you for even taking the time to respond. This song is so powerful and helps to clense my heart and soul. I hope that you and yours are in good health and spirit. jN
Just checked Johnathan Roy's cover.. it's definitely solid; just comes down to preference. I'll be looking more into his catalog, for sure. Personally, the soul Sia delivers here makes it a tough act to follow.
Many people don’t know the brilliance that is pre pop Sia. I guess you could say I’m a pop fan but her earlier music is something special. Got me through a lot of really, really tough times. Love this Sia but I’m also happy for her healing 💕
It's like an exorcism when she starts sing it's like she becomes something totally different,. And then she snaps out of that passion into Being playful & joking.
I’m quite a tough individual emotionally. But that ending was the most clever, poignant, beautifully written ending to a tv show or film I think I’ve ever seen. The scene and the song were so in sync I wasn’t sure where one started and one finished
Sheer perfection. I don't know that there will ever be another finale that has the perfect combination of writing, acting, directing, camera work, and music that can top SFU.
Whenever I’m feeling like quitting life and sad I come here. This song makes me cry like a baby. It makes me feel better and know I am not the only sad person out there. This song holds me and wraps me up when I feel small and worthless. It’s ok to be sad, it’s ok to feel down and out. We all are human. I hope you feel better too and know that you don’t have to give up. I love you and want you to love yourself. You’re never alone. Life may take you in places you don’t love, but eventually you’ll find yourself and love where you are.
Beautiful song! Lyrics: Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found Yeah I think that I might break Lost myself again and I feel unsafe Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me
There are no words…just epic, raw human emotion that we should all be able to relate to. I have chosen this song for my funeral/wake. Cannot think of a better song for the occasion and listening to this, I am not afraid ❤️
Cello foward in this performance makes this the best version IMO. For some reason as well, I feel like she really felt this particular session as if it was the anniversary. Easily one of the most beautiful and heart felt compositions to date.
I can't believe that I still have to explain to people who Sia is. On top of that, I am required to let them know that her "POP" songs aren't really the greatest songs she's ever created. Sia has brought tears to my eyes with her many live performances that I am sure no one is aware of existing... Sia is a beautiful quirky gift to humankind handed down to us from some kind of higher power...
Her voice is so powerful. I usually go to this song when i feel weak and like I'm nothing. It's so relateable to me. It's like I'm living the reality of this song. Even if I'm not very strong right now i just hope that the people who may feel similar to me stays strong.
It’s weird to think we should congratulate one another for just choosing to stay alive … but I get it and I am also thankful to still be here. Take care of yourself ❤
I just found this version. Im not a big Sia fan I gotta say but I do recognize her as an incredible artist. And Im familiar with the fact that she has written alot of hit songs for many of the biggest artist. Now.. I dig Elastic Heart and maybe a couple more but one day I found this song and was blown away. Not only her delivery but the lyrics are a real gut punch. Especially for someone whos gone in the head. I actually first heard it at the end of a Luther episode. Then I found a live performance of it that u gotta see if u like this one. She has on a pink sweater on that hangs to her knees. Anyway if u like this one I bet u will LOVE that one. Its unbelievable. Everything about it. One side note, the drummer gives her a beautiful very nuanced back up on the vocals which was just perfect. Enjoy friend
7 years clean 11/15, this is the perfect soundtrack for my breaking point. Learning that I need others to help me. If you are struggling keep reaching out. It saved my life.
Congratulations. I'm still struggling to get sober after my relapse in 2018. Now both of my parents are in the hospital in critical condition and I realize I need them more more than ever. I wanna make my mom and dad proud I just hope they recover and live long enough to see me triumph through my addiction. 😢
I have this song name tattooed on my wrist. To me it means- its okay to be vulnerable. Its okay that sometimes we wont feel loved by the world. What we need more than anything is to accept ourselves entirely, flaws and all. Like the air that sustains life on earth, we all need to breathe self-love into our souls.
We also need to re-learn to accept each others flaws. We've become a society that won't tolerate anothers point of view and will , in fact, oppose it at every opportunity (but only by TH-cam or Twitter of course) Anyone that finds faults with you is probably trying to cover up their own. I truely believe that nobody (or no thing) has anymore right to be on this Earth than anything else.
@@mickram23 I think the Jews had more right to be on Earth than Hitler. I think the victims of murderers had more right to be on Earth than the person that murdered them, especially children. Your perspective is quite naive.
Overwhelmed with emotions when i listen to this amazing song. I for sure can say iv been there a few times. Thank you Sia for sharing your emotions. Stay strong we need you.
I still can't hear this song without breaking into tears. It hits me so hard. It's like rewatching the low points of my life and knowing how lucky I am to have come so far.
Lyrics: Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame [Chorus] Be my friend Hold me Wrap me up Unfold me I am small And needy Warm me up And breathe me [Verse 2] Ouch, I have lost myself Again Lost myself, and I Am nowhere to be found Yeah, I think that I Might break Lost myself again And I feel unsafe Be my friend Hold me Wrap me up Unfold me I am small And needy Warm me up And breathe me Be my friend Hold me Wrap me up Unfold me I am small And needy Warm me up And breathe me
Never heard this song before and only know her biggest hits, but this randomly got recommended to me and I found myself at the end with tears streaming down my face and I don't know why. Only real musical talent is able to do that, to take you from yourself and make you feel a ride of emotions all at once. I knew she had a good voice, but man I didn't know she was that incredible.
its funny how i found out the song just new, after chatgpt recommending me to listen to this song haha, i love this ai more than my friends since it helps me to discover such beautiful songs!.-.
I saw her live twice before she hit it big. She is very real. A genuine person with a huge personality and adorably quirky. Her voice live is true and exactly as you hope it will be.
I really wish I could have seen her live at this point of her life. I like her newer songs as well and every songa brings another feeling with it, but this era of Sia just feels so raw and special, totally unfiltered and simply put real. I don't want to sound spiritual (because I am actually not) but I can't explain it other than that her old songs connect with the souls on a deeper level.
The existence of this song justifies the existence of the universe. If all that was ever produced when time runs out was this single song, then it would still all have been be worth it.
@@Nicole-uz4cr As many a great philosopher has noticed, Life is Pain. It's transmutation into meaning is our source of joy. She has taken her pain and used it's crushing power to create the purest of diamonds. I'm in awe of her spirit, to not only endure, to take it all in, to feel it and turn it into fucking love - that's something most can only ever aspire to.
Sia is sadly unknown by many people of her song writing skills. Her Ballads are beautiful! Sad but also uplifting and hopeful and positive. She has written so many songs and I look forward to all her new songs in the future! Sia please keep that rawness that a lot of musicians tend to lose over time!
I have schizophrenia and sometimes right after an episode of hallucinations I get exhausted and I feel stupid and down but when I heard Sia’s Music helps me to relax and find hope.
you know how technically difficult it is to be able to vocally match instrumentals flawlessly the way she did starting at 4:11?… can’t really think of a more talented vocalist than her, period. the control she exhibits over her voice is unparalleled.
Fascinating how she is vocally playing with the strings in this performance. None can touch her expression here. That vibratio control! Love how the the bridge is organized chaos!!
I dont know this is hard or not . But i tried to checking all cover ver in youtube , no one do it . All cover stop at end of lyric , all singer skip end song part 😂 omg that part is a gold and they all ignored it
Does anyone know and if so who does? Should the limits of your obviously flawed comprehension be the limit on what is considered a talented vocalist - god I hope not.
I’ve been coming back to the set for 15 years and it will always be the best version of this song. Thank you, Sia. This has been my high, my low, and much more. 💜
I was locked in an abusive marriage for 16 years and have never read or heard anything that could describe the incredible pain that comes from trying to climb out of the dark. To feel someone out there understands that depth of feeling and put it to music & words is everything. Thank you, Sia
I simply love her. After suffering so much torture, addiction to drugs and alcohol, ups&downs in life I'm so proud of her for struggling and still be among us and shares her incredible and unique voice and laughs with us ♥ such a wonderful, rare, magnificent and inspiring soul and singer ♥ You rock, gurl ! Much love
I don't know how many times I've listened to this over the past number of years, but every time my heart flutters faster or it brings me close to tears. It's one of those songs that seems to get me and I it. Such a powerful song, I'm glad I found it.
I heard and rode to this song at soul cycle over 10 yrs ago … I listen to it weekly since …. It takes me to that ethereal space between all emotions… bless her for this gift …
Tears literally stream down my face every time I come back and watch this performance. So much emotion. That wail is real. And something you can truly only understand if you've been that close to suicide. And all the frenetic energy in the music alongside it is just perfectly done. I'll bet all the musicians there can't help but get swept up and lost in it. Taking part in something like that must be a transcendental experience. One hell of a ride going there and then coming back down to Earth afterwards.
"Dont be sad".... Saddest song ever, omg, this song is deadly deep on the darkest side of the human soul....Greatest artist who put us there, showing everything.....Oh Sia, thank you!
Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found Yeah I think that I might break Lost myself again and I feel unsafe Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me
What a dark yet hopeful and inspiring way she has of expressing an exposing herself at such a hopeless moment in her life. Why do the most amazing people think that they are unimportant at times… Sia you are simply a ball of glorious light!
because most of us are unimportant. Some exceptions become amazing people (those that you know and hear about) but how many of those people fall? For example I know good singer from talent show, a girl from Ukraine, her name is Olga Melnyk. She have fantastic voice and get into top audition list all around the world with her performance (Human and Lovely). BUT she didn't win. Moreover nobody hear about her after end of the show.
Could never begin to understand the pain someone who commits suicide feels .... the utter despair that pushes them over the precipice.... but hearing Sia sing this song...the emotional delivery....I can feel the pain and longing in her voice....am so glad she didn't take her own life...instead she wrote this song ... God Bless her and keep her safe for the rest of her natural life....such a beautiful person...inside and out...
So damn talented. You can feel her pain in this song...I hope she is in a much better place now. Her music touches millions and Unstoppable is an anthem that lifts so many to face life's challenges
I just love her. She has several songs like this one that punch me straight in the heart and make me want to reach thru the speakers and hug her. Sia is an absolute blessing to those of us who love music and lean on it to get thru our darkest days. I wish she would do another album of downbeat type music, but as long as she keeps recording music, I can't complain.
@@androgynue As far as emotionally heavy stuff, there is a vocal and piano only version of I'm In Here that crushes me. I'm Still Here, You Have Been Loved, I Go To Sleep, and Lullaby all hit me for sure. Some People Have Real Problems is a great album, imo. She has so much, really. Her vocal cracks in Eye of the Needle and Alive all hit me. There's something about the textures in her voice that I think make her special. Oh man, Hurting Me Now... even songs that seem more positive on the surface are kinda loaded like Day Too Soon, Be Good To Me, Dressed In Black. I hope this helps. Be well.
What a beautiful turn of phrase: "...that punch me straight in the heart and make me want to reach thru the speakers and hug her". Thak you for your comment and your curation of tracks here too. Do you think she has to go right back to the moment, where the song came from in order to be able to perform it like this. OR do you think it's 'accessible' for her to pop into?
@@James_OHalloran Thank you so much for your kindness. Wow, I certainly hope not. It's difficult to say for sure how many different relationships or situations she has written about. She may be dipping into the same well of experience at different times. I suspect that she is so familiar with the emotions behind each song that it isn't difficult for her to tap into those feelings at that moment. I've heard her say that she tends to find it difficult to think about anything other than what she is singing about, so maybe it is more of a regression for her. Maybe that is another reason she doesn't want to perform live much? The loneliness and depression in something like I'm In Here seem never to be very far away for her. I would imagine that is something easy for her to slip into for a song. What a sad thought.
This is the Sia I know and love. Not that I’m not happy for her mainstream success (I am), but she always felt the most authentic in these past recordings.
She went through real hard times to get to where she is, and this was a morning that she barely made it to the station, after binging and I think she even had a manic suicide event... yeah, lot of issues, but then we hear it in her requiem.
I legit got memorized by Sia. The moment I heard her sing live for the FIRST TIME. I legit stopped in the middle of my conversation and everyone just stopped to listen with me. She gets me in my feels
This song was played in the finale of HBO's Six Feet Under. I've always thought Sia was an exceptionally great singer and she continues to amaze. Still love this song after all these years.
Yep, I still remember listening to Sia's song and crying throughout the finale of "Six Feet Under". I had a hard time letting go of all the characters I'd grown to love. Beautifully moving ending! ❤️
Very interesting to see her facial expressions and mouth & tongue like that, you rarely get to see the artist up this close in other performances or music videos. She is absolutely amazing!
My depression got depressed by this song. So I felt a bit better.
You win...LOL!
Two negatives make a positive ❤️
Thank you.
🙌
Bahahah that makes a lot of sense
Can’t believe that I just discovered this stunningly gorgeous song! I’m 71 and totally amazed by this performance!
I am 51 now and totally agree with you ☘️🌸. Simply amazing ✨🌟
Keep digging. She’s written and performed some real doozies. Always makes me reaching for the tissues
Sia has a lot, and I mean a lot, of such great compositions. What she is now is very mediatic, which is not to say it isn't good, but it sort of obscures her older work. Check out albums Some People Have REAL Problems and Colour the Small One.
I'm 72 ! Goosebumps.
Same her 104 and also amazed also I bench press. 400 pounds at 70lbs body weight
Also hats off to the incredible cello player.
but she has hat on 🤔
The braveness to show yourself as this vulnerable. Love to all who can do this
Best comment ever ,,,you see clearly,,, you are pure gold .THANK YOU
Her control. The depth of emotion. Just all the feels possible when her voice is heard. She is just so incredible.
And she preforms with such an ease.
and to lose yourself once again
@@virginiaknighten4687 I mean she also looks high of her rocker here.
Супер супер супер
Exactly
I cry every time I hear this. It forces me to recall where I first heard It - Six Feet Under - HBO'S Great series 2001-2005!
Yes!
I thought that's where I heard it before. The song in the finale? Love that❤
Best ending ever.
One of my favorite series. Just finished watching it again and am brought back to this beautiful number.
„Don’t be sad“ then she just goes ahead and rips everybodys heart out with her beautiful Song
Sia's voice is absolutely hauntingly beautiful. It touches the soul! What an amazing gift she has and how fortunate we are that it is shared with the world.

You chose the right adjective for sure! She reminds me of Layne Staley. Sounds nothing like him but she's an absolute master of haunting beautiful pain! 😪💔
Yes
Amen.
I don't think she really understands how much everyone adores her. She's a beautiful human inside and out.
that's because feeling good about yourself is not about how much others adore you, but about how much you adore yourself. I don't think many people understand how pervasive childhood hardships can be.
word....
@Paul-uv4wg Yes, that's ultimately up to the person how they choose to deal with past trauma. However, she's loved by millions for her artistic music. That has to mean something in a world where millions of people are literally loved by no one.
@@cheers2023 yes, that's the point I'm making - you can be loved by millions, but it'll feel like no one loves you when you don't love yourself first.
Perhaps she does, and its not about that, but aboit expression and being understood.
I like her humour at the end, "that was a good drum beat"? it can be interpreted as deflection but it also conveys "im at peace with it" (the attempted suicide that the song was about).
2023 and it's still a masterpiece
Masterpiece indeed
Yes
Time doesn't destroy masterpieces, they are immortal.
Do the youth know that Sia used to make magic like this??
2024 and its still a masterpiece!
The real Sia. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent.

What? Stop trying so hard. Nice avatar, too. Weirdo.
Amazing comment 😊 I feel this about Kate Bush and Goldfrapp x
Nah - bollox- Frank Zappa, Tom Waits, Lou Reed all had the same message for you BOTS. Fuck Off.
absolutely what I was going to write, she is a genius, best vocalist out there
they work with the spirit, its a union
This has to be her best performance of this song by far
Best female vocalist in the world. Period.
You can feel the pain in her singing.
I agree with you
True. Try to find Joan as a police woman's forever and a year for a similar emotion. Amazing performance...
Couldn't agree more!!! Naviše! Don't you go anywhere except around this crazy world of ours. Spread your gift!!! Thank you. I listen to your voice regularly. milker
she's a man so disqualified
disagree
4:40 a heartbreaking “primal scream”. Brings out emotions I didn’t know I had. Absolutely mesmerizing.
I'm with you
Same it makes me cry. It's like letting all your pain out.
I love this performance mainly because of that part. She doesn't do it in other videos.
My God she can bring all the feels.
Thank you🙏🏻
“Don’t be sad.” I don’t know how many times I’ve come back to this song. She’s so expressive. I love the drop “ouch”. It seems to me she’s unaware of how amazing she is. Sia has the ability to draw the listener in to her web of lyrical mastery and leave us wanting more.
Fall girls She knows how amazing she is. Sometimes she feels empty and she’ll never say why.
Beautifully expressed. I tip my hat to you.
Noone being 100percent in is aware of themselves 100percent
true
So expressive in deed , i comeback everytime i feel lost & sad too ❤
I just watched this again for the first time in years and cried the entire time. My soul feels this too deeply
Wow
I come back every few years, it still hits hard every time
Hang in there - I know the feeling. It gets better.
On God she will do it to u 🤒 she is the greatest of all time

Rival? They are better!
Just checked Johnathan Roy's cover.. it's definitely solid; just comes down to preference. I'll be looking more into his catalog, for sure.
Personally, the soul Sia delivers here makes it a tough act to follow.
No lo había pensado pero tienes razón… sus versiones en vivo son incluso mejores que las de estudio.
Many people don’t know the brilliance that is pre pop Sia. I guess you could say I’m a pop fan but her earlier music is something special. Got me through a lot of really, really tough times. Love this Sia but I’m also happy for her healing 💕
I LOVE pre fame, Sia( too).
100%! This is still my favourite song of hers to date!
Yeah I like pre-pop Sia too, the pop Sia is too studio sounded for me.
Entièrement d'accord avec toi
The pain and story needs very few audible words. Singing from her soul.
What the fck am I doing with my life in 2007 that I never heared of such wonderful song during those years. Poor me.
Dude !! I'm sitting here thinking the same
"What the fck am I doing with my life" I felt that
@@CamRebires haha
I heard it then and knew it well. Glad I'm not there anymore. But you're here now, bathe in this glorious light.
Dude I graduated HS in 2007 and never heard of her before ..EAL made her known to me being his ex wife...such a good voice
Those screams at the end of the song man 😭 I’ve cried to this song for years
Same ❤
I have too...I miss my Lynnie 😢
@@XKEUTERX Sending you love 😘
Man the emotions she puts out is so crazy. I applaud her for showing us her vulnerability, it seems like such a hard thing to do
It's like an exorcism when she starts sing it's like she becomes something totally different,.
And then she snaps out of that passion into
Being playful & joking.
most important female artist of our generation
paddym27 couldn’t agree more
couldn’t agree
Agree 100%. Vocals are ahhhh 🔥🔥
not just your generation actually
she's really needed for all the time of generation
paddym27 Female, nice language
There's something hauntingly mystical that a cello evokes, to be able to match it vocally is next level. Master piece.
Straight up masterpiece. This gives me chills. Haunting.
Your profile picture is a masterpiece 😂
💯
Supposedly it's about a night she tried suicide idk that's what I read someone say
Six feet under
The song killed when I first heard it in the finale...the only song that made me cry. amazing
I’m quite a tough individual emotionally.
But that ending was the most clever, poignant, beautifully written ending to a tv show or film I think I’ve ever seen.
The scene and the song were so in sync I wasn’t sure where one started and one finished
Sheer perfection. I don't know that there will ever be another finale that has the perfect combination of writing, acting, directing, camera work, and music that can top SFU.
This literally gives me chills. Sia is so insanely talented. We are not worthy ❤️🙏
Whenever I’m feeling like quitting life and sad I come here.
This song makes me cry like a baby. It makes me feel better and know I am not the only sad person out there. This song holds me and wraps me up when I feel small and worthless. It’s ok to be sad, it’s ok to feel down and out. We all are human.
I hope you feel better too and know that you don’t have to give up. I love you and want you to love yourself. You’re never alone.
Life may take you in places you don’t love, but eventually you’ll find yourself and love where you are.
You're deeply loved tooo 💛🙏💛 thanks for your emotional words...

I am glad you are here today!
Be my friend.
God bless you abundantly
Beautiful song!
Lyrics:
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Be my friend, hold me

I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me

There are no words…just epic, raw human emotion that we should all be able to relate to. I have chosen this song for my funeral/wake. Cannot think of a better song for the occasion and listening to this, I am not afraid ❤️
@@newmennium "Enfold" is the correct word... means envelop... to wrap up.
Cello foward in this performance makes this the best version IMO. For some reason as well, I feel like she really felt this particular session as if it was the anniversary. Easily one of the most beautiful and heart felt compositions to date.

She was perfect.
It's astonishing how she manages to sound even better live. Got the chills from this one.
This is a hauntingly beautiful song. Her vocal performance along with the instrumentals flow through me
Bellina voce che viene dall'anima è una donna incredibile.
I love your comment…
Flow through your empty video channel...BOT
@@sjbechet1111 ummm pretty sure I don't have to post videos to have a TH-cam account but thanks for thinking I'm a BOT
@@bobbiethompson6962 Thanks for removing any suspicion.
I can't believe that I still have to explain to people who Sia is. On top of that, I am required to let them know that her "POP" songs aren't really the greatest songs she's ever created. Sia has brought tears to my eyes with her many live performances that I am sure no one is aware of existing... Sia is a beautiful quirky gift to humankind handed down to us from some kind of higher power...
Her voice is so powerful. I usually go to this song when i feel weak and like I'm nothing. It's so relateable to me. It's like I'm living the reality of this song. Even if I'm not very strong right now i just hope that the people who may feel similar to me stays strong.
This is how I feel. I listen to it at my lowest points, and it helps me to know that I will be ok.
Everyone feeling down, dig your heels in and hold fast. It WILL get better.
I also come to this song when i feel like shit, but yeah it gets better ✌️
I always come back to this when i feel down..so strong and powerful but so very vulnerable ..it makes me weep...
One of the many songs that saved my life. I can’t believe I’m still here and I’m so grateful. Sing from your Heart 💜
I hope your life will only become better and better! God bless you.
I'm glad you are here too!!!
Glad you took a second chance at life. Keep staying strong!
SIA from your heart 💜
It’s weird to think we should congratulate one another for just choosing to stay alive … but I get it and I am also thankful to still be here. Take care of yourself ❤
Wow, the way she modulates her voice on this track and just 'owns' the whole experience.... along with the guys playing, this is pretty special x
Her voice is the most beautiful instrument I’ve ever heard.
She’s always had such a unique voice ~ even in High school plays. She was always so nice at school ✨
@@jasmineredley5577 Oh, so interesting! How do you know about it 😯 ?
Yes it is for me too.
Her passion, her pain, incredible vocals!
No
@@redshift912 Yes.
Can’t deny that cello went hard too.
This performance is by far my favourite of this song. I always get goosebumps when I listen to it. She is absolutely incredible.
I just found this version. Im not a big Sia fan I gotta say but I do recognize her as an incredible artist. And Im familiar with the fact that she has written alot of hit songs for many of the biggest artist. Now.. I dig Elastic Heart and maybe a couple more but one day I found this song and was blown away. Not only her delivery but the lyrics are a real gut punch. Especially for someone whos gone in the head. I actually first heard it at the end of a Luther episode. Then I found a live performance of it that u gotta see if u like this one. She has on a pink sweater on that hangs to her knees. Anyway if u like this one I bet u will LOVE that one. Its unbelievable. Everything about it. One side note, the drummer gives her a beautiful very nuanced back up on the vocals which was just perfect. Enjoy friend

7 years clean 11/15, this is the perfect soundtrack for my breaking point. Learning that I need others to help me. If you are struggling keep reaching out. It saved my life.
We do recover 🙏
❤
Congratulations. I'm still struggling to get sober after my relapse in 2018. Now both of my parents are in the hospital in critical condition and I realize I need them more more than ever. I wanna make my mom and dad proud I just hope they recover and live long enough to see me triumph through my addiction. 😢
I have this song name tattooed on my wrist. To me it means- its okay to be vulnerable. Its okay that sometimes we wont feel loved by the world. What we need more than anything is to accept ourselves entirely, flaws and all. Like the air that sustains life on earth, we all need to breathe self-love into our souls.
We also need to re-learn to accept each others flaws. We've become a society that won't tolerate anothers point of view and will , in fact, oppose it at every opportunity (but only by TH-cam or Twitter of course)
Anyone that finds faults with you is probably trying to cover up their own.
I truely believe that nobody (or no thing) has anymore right to be on this Earth than anything else.
Awww... Like me and my partner your an Empath.. 🙂 👍🏻
Well said.
@@mickram23 I think the Jews had more right to be on Earth than Hitler. I think the victims of murderers had more right to be on Earth than the person that murdered them, especially children. Your perspective is quite naive.
I love your interpretation. I also feel this song is about surrender...surrender to 'the mystery'.
Overwhelmed with emotions when i listen to this amazing song. I for sure can say iv been there a few times. Thank you Sia for sharing your emotions. Stay strong we need you.
I still can't hear this song without breaking into tears. It hits me so hard. It's like rewatching the low points of my life and knowing how lucky I am to have come so far.
WELL said
We are all lucky you are in the world
Blessed❤️
God bless you....just keep carry on my friend! Your on the right path ...no doubt!!! 🤍
Stephen its much more than luck, you are where you are because of you.
This live version is way better than the studio version ..
That's amazing.
This performance is my favorite version of Breathe Me. So much soul and emotion. It hits me like an arrow to the heart. I love her so much! ❤
Unbelievable voice control...
Wow, she doesn’t even look like she’s trying but she’s killing it! Such a beautiful voice ❤️
Anyone in 2024 for this Master peace
Yes what a vocalist she's the best imo
Totally
1 million sir or miss..
Please fuk off with this year calling crap.
Yes it be.
SIA is a force of nature!! Amazing vocals and writing !!!
She’s a true artist
Still the best live version of this song!!
Yep
yes!
Também concordo com você 😍
Absolutely, this live version is better than the released version.
TOTALLY AGREE....JUST DISCOVERED HER AND THIS ONE LIVE IS ABSOLUTE BEST GOLDEN.....TRUTH ART AND STRUGGLE ...PROFOUNDLY GIFTED
Lyrics:
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
[Chorus]
Be my friend
Hold me
Wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
And needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
[Verse 2]
Ouch, I have lost myself
Again
Lost myself, and I
Am nowhere to be found
Yeah, I think that I
Might break
Lost myself again
And I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me
Wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
And needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me
Wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
And needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
thanks!
Thanks 😊 for the lyrics
Thank you
@@leicachei4320 you’re welcome :)
Wow, she blows me away! She sings from her soul... such passion! Really enjoyed the cello too!
You hear the cello voice over she does? She is the cello..❤️
Shes a true artist that has been through a lot in her life and come out the other side. Shes amazing i love her work
Never heard this song before and only know her biggest hits, but this randomly got recommended to me and I found myself at the end with tears streaming down my face and I don't know why. Only real musical talent is able to do that, to take you from yourself and make you feel a ride of emotions all at once. I knew she had a good voice, but man I didn't know she was that incredible.
Sia has so many hidden gems 💞
its funny how i found out the song just new, after chatgpt recommending me to listen to this song haha, i love this ai more than my friends since it helps me to discover such beautiful songs!.-.
So true 😢
Try listening to it in the final scene of the series finale of Six Feet Under. I was sobbing.
I first heard her sing in a band called Zero 7.....going way back. Shes got so many good songs
I saw her live twice before she hit it big. She is very real. A genuine person with a huge personality and adorably quirky. Her voice live is true and exactly as you hope it will be.
I really wish I could have seen her live at this point of her life. I like her newer songs as well and every songa brings another feeling with it, but this era of Sia just feels so raw and special, totally unfiltered and simply put real. I don't want to sound spiritual (because I am actually not) but I can't explain it other than that her old songs connect with the souls on a deeper level.
The existence of this song justifies the existence of the universe. If all that was ever produced when time runs out was this single song, then it would still all have been be worth it.
This comment is exquisite.
Wow, that's a firm statement. Assured in your absolute allegiance and your melancholic reverence
@@Nicole-uz4cr As many a great philosopher has noticed, Life is Pain. It's transmutation into meaning is our source of joy. She has taken her pain and used it's crushing power to create the purest of diamonds. I'm in awe of her spirit, to not only endure, to take it all in, to feel it and turn it into fucking love - that's something most can only ever aspire to.
Sia is sadly unknown by many people of her song writing skills. Her Ballads are beautiful! Sad but also uplifting and hopeful and positive. She has written so many songs and I look forward to all her new songs in the future! Sia please keep that rawness that a lot of musicians tend to lose over time!
Notice how many people just discovering her. It's amazing....shes amazing!
I have schizophrenia and sometimes right after an episode of hallucinations I get exhausted and I feel stupid and down but when I heard Sia’s Music helps me to relax and find hope.
Back after 10 years when I first heard this and I still love her so much
Wooowww the whole vibrato thing she does with her voice is sooo good, so much vocal control!!! And it’s so emotional and real!!!
It's so authentic it's amazing that she can express it intentionally.
you know how technically difficult it is to be able to vocally match instrumentals flawlessly the way she did starting at 4:11?… can’t really think of a more talented vocalist than her, period. the control she exhibits over her voice is unparalleled.
Fascinating how she is vocally playing with the strings in this performance.
None can touch her expression here.
That vibratio control!
Love how the the bridge is organized chaos!!
I dont know this is hard or not . But i tried to checking all cover ver in youtube , no one do it . All cover stop at end of lyric , all singer skip end song part 😂 omg that part is a gold and they all ignored it
I’ve never heard someone do this before she sounds amazing
Does anyone know and if so who does?
Should the limits of your obviously flawed comprehension be the limit on what is considered a talented vocalist - god I hope not.
She has PERFECT pitch- soooooo amazing ❤
Beautiful song! The girl playing the string bass is awesome!
cello.
the what sorry
It's a cello.
Still listening to this song on repeat - such a beautiful song - speaks in your soul
Can't get this song out of my head..
I cannot believe I have not heard this unplugged version. It is now my favorite of all unplugged anything by anyone… thank you Sia.
I’ve been coming back to the set for 15 years and it will always be the best version of this song. Thank you, Sia. This has been my high, my low, and much more. 💜
I was locked in an abusive marriage for 16 years and have never read or heard anything that could describe the incredible pain that comes from trying to climb out of the dark. To feel someone out there understands that depth of feeling and put it to music & words is everything. Thank you, Sia
❤
❤
This song makes me cry anyway but this version HOLY SHIIII
I simply love her. After suffering so much torture, addiction to drugs and alcohol, ups&downs in life I'm so proud of her for struggling and still be among us and shares her incredible and unique voice and laughs with us ♥ such a wonderful, rare, magnificent and inspiring soul and singer ♥
You rock, gurl ! Much love
I don't know how many times I've listened to this over the past number of years, but every time my heart flutters faster or it brings me close to tears. It's one of those songs that seems to get me and I it. Such a powerful song, I'm glad I found it.
I heard and rode to this song at soul cycle over 10 yrs ago … I listen to it weekly since …. It takes me to that ethereal space between all emotions… bless her for this gift …
@@supremeadvisory8287 tell me more about Soul Cycle!
I watch this live performance, and another one of Breathe Me all the time. Spiritual.
Tears literally stream down my face every time I come back and watch this performance. So much emotion. That wail is real. And something you can truly only understand if you've been that close to suicide. And all the frenetic energy in the music alongside it is just perfectly done. I'll bet all the musicians there can't help but get swept up and lost in it. Taking part in something like that must be a transcendental experience. One hell of a ride going there and then coming back down to Earth afterwards.
Doesn’t it just…
I was on the bus with these guys for 6 weeks. Every night blew me away. Very special.
Who are you then? Just curious and envy you for the chance you had to meet them in person. Cheers
No wonder this woman is famous, her vocals and passion for the lyrics is just on a whole other level. She IS the music when she's performing.
I cry every time, such a deep beautiful song
"Dont be sad".... Saddest song ever, omg, this song is deadly deep on the darkest side of the human soul....Greatest artist who put us there, showing everything.....Oh Sia, thank you!
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
What a dark yet hopeful and inspiring way she has of expressing an exposing herself at such a hopeless moment in her life. Why do the most amazing people think that they are unimportant at times…
Sia you are simply a ball of glorious light!
because most of us are unimportant. Some exceptions become amazing people (those that you know and hear about) but how many of those people fall? For example I know good singer from talent show, a girl from Ukraine, her name is Olga Melnyk. She have fantastic voice and get into top audition list all around the world with her performance (Human and Lovely). BUT she didn't win. Moreover nobody hear about her after end of the show.
This is my favourite performance of the song. It's so chilling, her singing cuts right through me.
Could never begin to understand the pain someone who commits suicide feels .... the utter despair that pushes them over the precipice.... but hearing Sia sing this song...the emotional delivery....I can feel the pain and longing in her voice....am so glad she didn't take her own life...instead she wrote this song ... God Bless her and keep her safe for the rest of her natural life....such a beautiful person...inside and out...
This version is truly beautiful... I have no other words... This song always touched me deep but this version is something else
Her finest song
For years I've been coming back to this song one or two times a year, to help my soul deal with and heal from my past. Thank you Sia.
So damn talented. You can feel her pain in this song...I hope she is in a much better place now. Her music touches millions and Unstoppable is an anthem that lifts so many to face life's challenges
Holy crap, can you imagine what it was like to be watching this happen through that studio window?
Yea it’s like watching Michelangelo sculpt.
Sia is a true musical genius!! And the way she rode along with every note of that cello! Perfection! 🎼😌🎧
Glad someone else noticed that
Ali.
This is the first time that I have had the opportunity to "see" Sia... Amazing!
I just love her. She has several songs like this one that punch me straight in the heart and make me want to reach thru the speakers and hug her. Sia is an absolute blessing to those of us who love music and lean on it to get thru our darkest days. I wish she would do another album of downbeat type music, but as long as she keeps recording music, I can't complain.
Agreed. She has one of those rare voices that seems to cut straight through to your soul
What other songs do you recommend?
@@androgynue As far as emotionally heavy stuff, there is a vocal and piano only version of I'm In Here that crushes me. I'm Still Here, You Have Been Loved, I Go To Sleep, and Lullaby all hit me for sure. Some People Have Real Problems is a great album, imo. She has so much, really. Her vocal cracks in Eye of the Needle and Alive all hit me. There's something about the textures in her voice that I think make her special. Oh man, Hurting Me Now... even songs that seem more positive on the surface are kinda loaded like Day Too Soon, Be Good To Me, Dressed In Black. I hope this helps. Be well.
What a beautiful turn of phrase: "...that punch me straight in the heart and make me want to reach thru the speakers and hug her". Thak you for your comment and your curation of tracks here too.
Do you think she has to go right back to the moment, where the song came from in order to be able to perform it like this. OR do you think it's 'accessible' for her to pop into?
@@James_OHalloran Thank you so much for your kindness. Wow, I certainly hope not. It's difficult to say for sure how many different relationships or situations she has written about. She may be dipping into the same well of experience at different times. I suspect that she is so familiar with the emotions behind each song that it isn't difficult for her to tap into those feelings at that moment. I've heard her say that she tends to find it difficult to think about anything other than what she is singing about, so maybe it is more of a regression for her. Maybe that is another reason she doesn't want to perform live much?
The loneliness and depression in something like I'm In Here seem never to be very far away for her. I would imagine that is something easy for her to slip into for a song. What a sad thought.
I’ve never wanted to be a cellist so much in my life! Cuts to the soul.
The stars aligned for this rendition. It can't be matched. 💔😭
2022 heard it for the first time. Brings me to tears. So beautifully done.
The more I learn about Sia, the more I love her. What a great lovable woman ❤️
this is one of the sparse songs that gave me goosebumps from this fallen era, one of the fews, amazing
This is the Sia I know and love. Not that I’m not happy for her mainstream success (I am), but she always felt the most authentic in these past recordings.
She doesn't even have the same voice nowadays.. I feel like she's always faking it since she became mainstream. Always doing her weird accent
@@barney2867 fr
She went through real hard times to get to where she is, and this was a morning that she barely made it to the station, after binging and I think she even had a manic suicide event... yeah, lot of issues, but then we hear it in her requiem.
@@user-uo4rf4ez8c where did you hear that she barely made it to the station?
true
Sia has an otherworldly voice. My heart simply melts with her exquisite tones. She is phenomenally talented. A beautiful gift to this world.
Rare genius. She is so beautiful. She is a goddess. You feel the essence , the universe when she breathes music.
I legit got memorized by Sia. The moment I heard her sing live for the FIRST TIME. I legit stopped in the middle of my conversation and everyone just stopped to listen with me. She gets me in my feels
She does make you stop in your tracks and almost stop breathing
Perhaps mesmerized ??
This song was played in the finale of HBO's Six Feet Under. I've always thought Sia was an exceptionally great singer and she continues to amaze. Still love this song after all these years.
I cried through the whole finale of Six Feet Under. So memorable. 😢
Yeah, I just watched it and recognized her voice straight away lol. Brilliant show and brilliant ending.
Yep, I still remember listening to Sia's song and crying throughout the finale of "Six Feet Under". I had a hard time letting go of all the characters I'd grown to love. Beautifully moving ending! ❤️
@@esears3996best finale of any show ever
The pure, raw emotion that literally seeps from her performance means she's singing from a deeply personal experience.
Very interesting to see her facial expressions and mouth & tongue like that, you rarely get to see the artist up this close in other performances or music videos. She is absolutely amazing!
