Bearing in mind that it's not a song you wrote, and bearing in mind the original songwriter is male, and bearing in mind that the feeling you get when you listen to this wonderful cover is something that is totally indescribable, you have done an amazing job of re-writing something that was already amazing. Much love to people like yourselves. x ...and what an absolutely beautiful voice. x
She's a gambler spinning wheels A poison victim but look of steel The coldest hearts you've ever felt The coldest hands you've ever held Taking down on your way A million miles, still no headway As I learn to live long In a mind I'm proud to roam She's elusive and I'm awake You're finally real, there's nothing fake A mystery now to me and you Open my eyes and I'm next to you She said my destiny lies in the hands that set me free Reckless night, she hears me breathe Cursing the sky at this company They lost the wisdom deep inside When bitterness shows its side If it's true, I am doomed What more is there to hold on to? A strand of her hair is all I own A gift to me, this sorry soul She's elusive and I'm awake You're finally real, there's nothing fake A mystery now to me and you Open my eyes and I'm next to you She said my destiny lies in the hands that set me free The sun in sails and this ain't right There's more to her than meets the eye She comes and goes at any time Back in my head at another time She's elusive and I'm awake You're finally real, there's nothing fake A mystery now to me and you Open my eyes and I'm next to you She said my destiny lies in the hands that set me free
Great version of this. Beautiful. One thing which confuses me slightly though - I think I prefer how Hayley's voice sounds on the TH-cam version than in the version on your site. Is it just me? :)

Thank you for doing this song justice, and for transforming it instead of copying it.

She's a gambler spinning wheels
A poison victim but look of steel
The coldest hearts you've ever felt
The coldest hands you've ever held
Taking down on your way
A million miles, still no headway
As I learn to live long
In a mind I'm proud to roam
She's elusive and I'm awake
You're finally real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
She said my destiny lies in the hands that set me free
Reckless night, she hears me breathe
Cursing the sky at this company
They lost the wisdom deep inside
When bitterness shows its side
If it's true, I am doomed
What more is there to hold on to?
A strand of her hair is all I own
A gift to me, this sorry soul
She's elusive and I'm awake
You're finally real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
She said my destiny lies in the hands that set me free
The sun in sails and this ain't right
There's more to her than meets the eye
She comes and goes at any time
Back in my head at another time
She's elusive and I'm awake
You're finally real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
She said my destiny lies in the hands that set me free

You kinda look like that girl from eurovision, Loreen
It's good, but the original is way better
where is the emotion ? how can someone prefer this cr*** over the original.
I absolutely love the original but I also like the cover too. It's a different vibe and we all vibe with something different.
