Discovered this through Michael Palmisano's video review. His enthusiasm and appreciation were palpable. After listening to this, it makes absolute sense. This is magnificent!
We were so lucky to have watched this at its first airing. My baby daughter in my arms, feeding her the bed time bottle, this song came on. It instantly captured us.. My daughter stopped feeding, she was mesmerised. We we're absolutely glued into every single note. Her first happy tears came from her baby eyes as she smiled her biggest smile upto that date. This song right here, this version was played every day and at every bedtime, she would not sleep without it. To this day when I put it on she stops and soaks it in. This song always has a place in our home, so grateful to Lisa and loah for producing such an elegant and beautiful performance!!
also hats off to the sound engineers on this, it is GORGEOUS to listen to. a top drawer record of how that room sounded. best 58 I've ever heard! and the detail on Lisa's vocal and well, everything is absolutely stellar. killer mic placement, killer processing, killer mix. all of course backed by a killer performance which makes life a little easier.
You can get away with a 58 on an alto... once you get up into the upper register, you're just making trouble for yourself, but down where she was you're fine. I was impressed by the guitar sound, myself. There was a LOT of help going on in the processing... but it ended up awesome, so no complaints from me.
Yes-tack sharp sound engineering all around on this song and the other tracks in this spacious room. The unison parts are breathtakingly precise and heartfelt too. Sigh.
Imagine practicing and rehearsing your ass off to get that one magical take, then seeing creepy comments about "clumsy laughter" instead of the performance.
It's an incredible feedback loop between these two artists. It elevates what is already an excellent performance from each of them into a kind of rapture that bolsters the whole of the song. Gorgeous.
Make a grown man cry, why don't you. I watched a vocal coach's review of this performance yesterday, and needed to hear it again all the way through without interruption. Today I listened to her live album. It also brought tears to my eyes, but they were running down my face as I watched this. It's ironic, seeing as how they both look so happy in this video. Anyway, Lisa Hannigan has a new fan in me. She has a hauntingly beautiful voice that I can feel her soul reverberating through. Should she ever come to my part of the world, I'll jump at the chance to see her perform live. ♥️
Have you listened to 'O' by Damien Rice? Lisa was his partner back then and appeared on the album. Haunting stuff. He's an alcoholic and she was anorexic, they were like magnets to each other.
She’s playing basic notes on the guitar and is completely controlling the direction of the feel with her voice. Mixing major and minor. This is absolutely spectacular from both of them. Unreal.
@@cookiesarelikecream it's not a back handed compliment if you bother to comprehend it's context. What the original commenter mentioned, does not the song unique or impressive. Irrespective of that, the song is beautiful. I'm sorry that is so offensive to you.
@@guitar864 name 3 songs that play with mixing minor and major tonalities (meaning on the same key center of course) in both the melody and harmony like this! I disagree with you categorically. This song is a delicate and powerful beautiful puzzle of creativity and technical innovation - I dare say their joyful giggles at the end reflect the sense of having discovered and captured something so special and outside of songwriting in almost any genre. Does jazz change keys and flip major and minor? Sure, but not quite like this that I have ever heard. Does blues slide between major and minor? Yeah but again in a very specific and now derivative way..... this ain’t that. Find a single pop song or folk song that covers similar harmonic ground if you can and let us know.
@@JAYDUBYAH29 You're just demonstrating a complete ignorance to music theory. She is singing a run within the Aeolian scale finishing on the Major 3rd - what the hell is ground breaking about that? Nothing. That is in, quite literally, almost every blues song you've ever heard. This Pedal Point, Minor to Major modulation is exceedingly basic and has been used since the 1700s - it's literally laughable that you pose new ground has been broken. They've used it to great effect, but it's nothing special. Do some research on Pedal Point - this is as basic as it gets th-cam.com/video/RTVaLYYTPFY/w-d-xo.html
I was like, hmm, this is so freakin’ familiar.. then I went to the Steven Universe cast 2 years later and saw Lisa Hannigan as Blue Diamond. I immediately facepalmed.
While 2020 delivers repeated nut kicks, Lisa and Loah are out here with their art reminding us that beauty and joy still exist. One day when this crap is behind us, I hope to hear this live, in a packed room elbow to elbow with other hushed music lovers. I hope... I haven’t felt that in a while. Thank you ladies. As per Lisa’s wishes, please support women’s aid via the link in the description. Now, just one more time...
Everything about this music video is just so beautiful. The song, the location, the singing, the guitar playing, the voices, the interplay between the artists. This makes me very happy.
Fell in love with Lisa Hannigan when she was with Damien Rice. I thought "what is she doing with him?" (love him, too, btw. Just thought she could do well on her own). Her voice cuts through my depression. Even when it is dark, she delivers with a smile. That is something I watch. How somebody singing delivers every note. For her, it is effortless. Thanks, Lisa, for keeping me "sane" at 48. I "used" to sing. I could harmonize to ANYTHING. Now, not so much. I'm a nurse and Life calls.....
Saw Lisa live in Melbourne a few years back. Mind blowing experience. Saw her with Damien too a very long time ago, but she came into her own solo. Incredible performer.
I’ve just watched Michael Palmisano do a review of this on his channel, sometimes you come across things in unexpected ways. This is amazing, I’m just grateful to have found this, even if I have gone the long way round
A voice that transcends through the epochs of time long gone. I'm lost in a gaelic past huddled round a campfire drinking warm goats milk, a light breeze in a balmy September evening caresses my furrowed brow.The bread crusty, the broth flavoursome, the future blissfully unknown.
I want to swim in your current Carry me out, up and away I want to float On every word you say I want to be underneath your weather Every cloud and ray of sun I want to float In between every one I want to sink down like a stone You never lost me you never broke I want to be adrift on your radio Oh take me under take me home I want to be, all of a sudden Every wave and undertow I want to float Everywhere I go
Words cannot express how beautiful this lady is. Such an incredible talent. I thought Venn Diagram was the most beautiful song of all time but then this comes along. Breathtaking voice and talent.
I thought there was no one I'd want to see live anymore, but then I listen to this song... I'll bring my daughter to make it up for singing so badly for the 9 years of her life. It's just a matter of when now.
I'm hooked...i'm replying to myself! This is just one of the most beautiful things i've heard in such a long time. I've always loved Lisa but this is something else.
This song, performance and recording are all still criminally underrated. I can't get enough of it and I never lose even a gram of amazement and sheer awe listening to it again and again. It's so pure and perfect I don't even have words.
Every time I watch this (at least 20 times now, no exaggeration), I hold my breath at the end, not wanting to make the smallest sound until Lisa's completely finished. She commands my emotions and my breathing. I am utterly awestruck.
Well that gave me goosebumps…. Update Two weeks later I went and bought a set of AirPods Pro to fully appreciate their music and it was incredible there voices fit so well together yin and yan comes to mind
Sometimes you just have to give kudos to the algorithm. This was a fantastic surprise. A wonderful song sung beautifully. Gorgeous harmonys and clearly enjoying the performance despite an empty room. I loved it.
How did I miss this!? Such a beautiful surprise on a stressful day! 👏 Love the "ohh...that was something wasn't it?" laughter at the end... Yes, it was. An amazing pair.💞
I hoped so much for a great concert - but it became even so much better. Such an extraordinary performance with so much joyful singing and playing in an "empty" room... just overwhelming! Thanks so much for that recording of 'Undertow'!
I have watched this at least 50 times, and I am still not sure how they got such a realistic video of Rosie the Riveter. All jokes aside these two are amazing. Loah has amazing vocal control, and I am excited to dive into some of her work as well as Lisa's.
that vocal control is absolutely out of this world!
It’s blue diamond
And with soooo much sensitivity of a mic. She's so good.
She got her lectures in Saturn and graduated from Jupiter
I love the playfulness between them both, really fantastic rendition.
i am hooked....those who found it ...wow...this session is totally awsome... yep
I've now watched this 84 times.
Omg same 💎💎💎
Why?
@@INTEGRITY273 Wasn't quite satisfied after the 83rd viewing.
How many times have you watched this now?
And I’m the 84th like
every year youtube throws this at me as suggested... I always click on it. This song is so delightful
Same - I'll play it over and over all day.
Discovered this through Michael Palmisano's video review. His enthusiasm and appreciation were palpable. After listening to this, it makes absolute sense. This is magnificent!
me too
Yep.
Here too
me also
Me too

Hard to imagine a better compliment of someone's music than this one. Thanks for sharing.
I honestly don't think I have ever watched two people more in love with their craft than these two amazing artists!
And totally connecting with each other. The dynamics are amazing.
@Magnetic Vortex Really? They appear together in the same shot a number of times, such as here 2:40. Also, did you read the text below the video?
try "the other favorites" (joshua lee turner + carson mckee)
@Magnetic Vortex Don't be stupid.
@Magnetic Vortex Ok, be stupid.

Great shout out to the unsung heros of the musician, sir!
Excellent comment and 100% agree. The natural reverb is amazing.

You can even hear Loah when she grins after the first chorus :)
their clumsy and happy laughter at the end. Why can't we all be so soft, human, beautiful.
clumsy is an interesting take
Imagine practicing and rehearsing your ass off to get that one magical take, then seeing creepy comments about "clumsy laughter" instead of the performance.
@@BananaManPL Possibly English isn't Kathes first language and her comment seems to be positive not creepy.
It's not my first language either, but dictionaries exist for a reason. 'Clumsy' is a pretty well defined word.
@@BananaManPL Should've practiced more
Lisa Hannigans music usually makes me cry like a baby, but this one makes me want to move every part of my body while crying like a baby.
They look like they both wrote the same song and are amazed that someone is singing it along with them so well. Amazing energy.
It's an incredible feedback loop between these two artists. It elevates what is already an excellent performance from each of them into a kind of rapture that bolsters the whole of the song. Gorgeous.
That's a nice thought
So well put, Samboramma!
The backing singer is devine.
That is Loah.

@@sansiveria578 I have not, but I will check it out after I'm done writing this comment. TH-cam is great for discovering new music. Thank you. 🎶❤️
Bottle it up and ship it out because this may very well be the cure!
that's one of the most beautiful harmonies I've ever heard.
I'm honestly just blown away at this. That 'float' melody is jam and toast.
Loah's accompaniment is a sheer delight.
Backing vocals by Loah. Unreal,so melodic.harmonys are sick!!
The way they look at eachother, they love what they're making
That "aww" between the two of them at the end is so wholesome
She’s playing basic notes on the guitar and is completely controlling the direction of the feel with her voice. Mixing major and minor. This is absolutely spectacular from both of them. Unreal.
She is indeed! But, it's nothing that hasn't been done a million times already. A beautiful song, nonetheless.
@@guitar864 Why do you have to give her a backhanded compliment by saying it’s been done a million times before? Smh just compliment her and go.

Lisa's voice is so unique and has the ability to blend everywhere GOD
When she does that "Irish break" in her voice, my knees go weak.
This is as intimate as social distancing gets. Beautiful.
My diamond~ 💙💧💎
I was like, hmm, this is so freakin’ familiar.. then I went to the Steven Universe cast 2 years later and saw Lisa Hannigan as Blue Diamond. I immediately facepalmed.
@@ondy8621 Haha
the joint vocal talent here is absolutely unreal. i would give years off my life to be able to sing like either one of them
While 2020 delivers repeated nut kicks, Lisa and Loah are out here with their art reminding us that beauty and joy still exist. One day when this crap is behind us, I hope to hear this live, in a packed room elbow to elbow with other hushed music lovers. I hope... I haven’t felt that in a while. Thank you ladies.

Who imagined that music without autotune could sound so good!
Anyone older than 35 can, we were brought up on non auto tuned music
I come back to this wonderful performance any time my soul needs to feel peace. Thank you Lisa and Sally (Loah).
I feel like a blind man who was gifted the sight to see and finally perceive what color is.
she loves Tool as much of the rest of us! thank you for this! Tool rocks!
"Normal People" ended an episode with a snippet of this song and I had to look it up...really beautiful!
Everything about this music video is just so beautiful. The song, the location, the singing, the guitar playing, the voices, the interplay between the artists. This makes me very happy.

Never stop singing!!
Sing for your patients! Make their world a brighter place!
Saw Lisa live in Melbourne a few years back. Mind blowing experience. Saw her with Damien too a very long time ago, but she came into her own solo. Incredible performer.
Keep coming back to this as it's just brilliant!
Man... there just isn’t words. Lisa’s voice cuts right through me. The harmonies between her and Loah... supernatural.
Wow! Just Wow! They have very different voices but they match beautifully!

Absolutely incredible harmonies between the two voices they are weaved together, sublime
This is the most beautiful piece of music I have heard in a long time. Lisa and Loah you are magic together.
Heart filled, mind blown, soul replenished. Gold.
Lisa has found in Loah an incredible voice to suite hers. I cannot get enough of their voices. Never too late.
I want to swim in your current
Carry me out, up and away
I want to float
On every word you say
I want to be underneath your weather
Every cloud and ray of sun
I want to float
In between every one
I want to sink down like a stone
You never lost me you never broke
I want to be adrift on your radio
Oh take me under take me home
I want to be, all of a sudden
Every wave and undertow
I want to float
Everywhere I go
Gracias
Thankyou❤😊
Words cannot express how beautiful this lady is. Such an incredible talent. I thought Venn Diagram was the most beautiful song of all time but then this comes along. Breathtaking voice and talent.
Otherworldly Voices unite! ❤💫
Yes. This is it. My new emergency song. Whenever i feel sad, abused or let down. AND it also works when i want to celebrate that i‘m happy.
Magic!
This song is my baby girl's calm down song before bed 💖
Never heard two voices to complement each other like this before.
I thought there was no one I'd want to see live anymore, but then I listen to this song... I'll bring my daughter to make it up for singing so badly for the 9 years of her life. It's just a matter of when now.
I thougt magic just exist in fairytales; I'm wrong ... these are magic melting voices 'art in its most finest way'
Wow...i've never heard of Loah. Such an entrancing, beautiful, silky, smooth voice...wow!
I'm hooked...i'm replying to myself! This is just one of the most beautiful things i've heard in such a long time. I've always loved Lisa but this is something else.
This is next level stuff. Ethereal.

Astonishing. The human voice at its very, very best.
words cannot express the joy this makes me feel
I've now watched this 114 times.
The song is beautiful, the harmonies are magnificent, but the clincher is the shared giggle at the end. LOVE!
Lisa Hannigan continues to mesmerise.
This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Her ability to float over those chords is hypnotizing. FlllaAAAAOOOOOooooT.
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen and heard in my life. beautiful. Music at it's finest!
Two voices and a guitar, wow....makes me feel like I am in that beautiful space, magic.
Every time I watch this (at least 20 times now, no exaggeration), I hold my breath at the end, not wanting to make the smallest sound until Lisa's completely finished. She commands my emotions and my breathing. I am utterly awestruck.
The sound quality on this is absolutely amazing! Congrats to everyone involved
Well that gave me goosebumps…. Update Two weeks later I went and bought a set of AirPods Pro to fully appreciate their music and it was incredible there voices fit so well together yin and yan comes to mind
OMG this is ALCHEMY! Indescribable. Like a pool of sound and feelings! OMG! THIS IS A BEGINNING OF some amazing collaboration I bet!
Oh woah. Loah's voice is amazing for this song! :) perfect bliss!
The song and vocal harmonics are divine, but what I really look forward to, every time I hear this, are the laughters at the end.
Sometimes you just have to give kudos to the algorithm. This was a fantastic surprise. A wonderful song sung beautifully. Gorgeous harmonys and clearly enjoying the performance despite an empty room. I loved it.

Wow. So beautiful! their voices go so well together, my jaw dropped when the harmony came in, that deep voice!!
Her Voice is absolutely amazing
their voices together are so beautiful
These two ladies are out of this world , one of my favorite songs love it , also braille !
How did I miss this!? Such a beautiful surprise on a stressful day! 👏 Love the "ohh...that was something wasn't it?" laughter at the end... Yes, it was. An amazing pair.💞
Actually obsessed
What a wonderfull instrument is human voice?!
Unbearably beautiful in every possible way (giggle giggle)
One of the best things to relive the stress of the lockdowns, this brings such joy and pleasure
So so brilliant and beautiful - and you both laughing with joy at the end is just lovely
Great production, sound, accompanying vocals and of course the multi talented Lisa. Class.
Such a delight.. Talk about 2 gorgeous voices elevating each other:)
I wanna meet someone in my lifetime, that I can share this with and they will be able to appreciate the mastery on display.
This is one of the most magical songs I've ever heard. The harmony just takes it NEXT LEVEL.
My favourite version of this song.
Loving the dynamic between your voices.
They compliment each other well.
Found this completely randomly. Dayum, son. That's good stuff.
her glow never fade.
This acoustic live performance with the minimal instrumentation is about as HONEST as it gets. MUCH respect and admiration for a superb performance.
Because, amazing, undeniably angelic 🥺💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💟
I hoped so much for a great concert - but it became even so much better. Such an extraordinary performance with so much joyful singing and playing in an "empty" room... just overwhelming! Thanks so much for that recording of 'Undertow'!
Amazing collaboration!! Just fabulous..... wow wow wow
yes ! 💞 they are dancing together , so beautiful, ay ?
