In 2005, this song saved 17 year old me from self-destruction, i planned on ending my life until this song found its way to me, by divine intervention. Thank you, Hayley, i owe you my very breath. ❤
She is beautiful, beaurtiful inside out! Its it nice when a young lady like this, dresses, acts and sings and conducts herself like a lady! If i had a daughter, i would want this singer to be an positive inspiration and a rule model for teen girls to look up too!
Not only she got one of the most beautiful faces in the world but she also have that golden voices sound s like a liquid gold..The best rendition of this beautiful song.
The most western female singers imitate today black RnB and female soul and gospel-singers. You are one of a few to follow the western tradition to sing.
Lovely Irish ladies who sing like angels. Hayley (a New Zealander of Irish ancestry) was a member of the group for one lovely year. Just drop the name into the search box.
Westenra is a world treasure. she should be exported from NZ to all over the world. she's fantastic. people of the Earth need to hear her voice. damn beautifulllll voice...
I'm jealous of beautiful people, and talented people, but when someone is beautiful and talented, that's just not fair. Hayley takes it to a new level. She's the most beautiful and most talented person in the world. That's just not fair.
I grew up listening to this song in my mom's car driving to school. It holds a very special feeling to me and she has a beautiful voice. Love this. Haven't listened to it in years.
i listened to your beautiful rendition of this spiritually reflective song repeatedly and continously for about 40 times. in that time, spiritual thoughts from the Holy Spirit came flowing through easily. :-)
I Watch this video over and over again, when I'm alone and single as no. Hayley sings like a nightingale, with the melancholic touches of the song of the blackbird. Is she an angel that came from heaven?
I remember seeing Hayley the first time when she was with the Celtic woman. She has grown to be a very beautiful and talented young lady with the voice of an angel. And her little sister is following right behind her, another very beautiful and talented young lady as well.
Por supuesto que escucho con frecuencia y admiro los videos de Miss Westenra. Saludos a ella, su equipo y los millones de fans, desde Zapopan, Jalisco, México, hoy 1 de agosto 2023.
Anyone who cannot appreciate the beauty of Hayley Westenra in face and form and voice, live or recorded at any age, cannot be judged to be fully human.
Marina Commisso The ability to see and value beauty is considered by many to be a significant factor in differentiating humans from other large species of ape. Not even chimpanzees look at sunsets.
Marina Commisso Ah well. I initially just wanted to point out that beauty is a human concept and that Hayley and her voice are as close to being the Platonic ideal of it as the vast majority of us are ever going to need to get.
I must have been living under a rock all this time to just now find Hayley and this beautiful and yet timeless song! There is now three versions of this song saved to my favorites, Joni (of course), Judy and now Hayley.
@@everdaysunday1920 Yes, Emilia Jones audition from the movie CODA doing sign language is an awesome and tear jerking performance. Her BAFTA awards performance was too. She said that Lady Gaga was sitting front row in front of her while singing this song and she uses the term “she was bricking it”.
I think it's beautiful how this song gives off such a different feel from the original, which is something beautiful to see in a cover. In Joni's version it was the song of an experienced woman looking back, there was no lie or cover left in it. And yet in this one, it's presented as a sweet song showing a younger, less experienced woman just trying to find her way though, but even behind all the confusion there's a clarity and reflection present, even if it's something that she keeps hidden from everyone else.
not certain i understand. joni composed this song at the age of 26. is that an "experienced" woman, looking back? haley is singing it at the age of 18. when i was 18, i embraced this song and its meaning. i have loved it ever since. age is not the issue here. it's an understanding of the song at its most basic level.
She got married and decided to settle down instead of touring constantly. She wanted to spend time with him. She currently lives in LA with her Hubbie and is an executive producer!
She has been on the international stage since 2003 with Decca Records. She has had numerous concerts in Europe and North American in the last 13 years, and expanded into China and Japan.
She's been exported all over the world since she was discovered at about 14 or 15. She doesn't need to go mainstream. She's already famous and far beyond starting.
Had the privilege of meeting Hayley at one of her concerts in London; very warm & generous woman ; broke my heart when she married but being honest she was far too young for me !!!
A gorgeous version of a truly great song. Hayley knocks it out of the park. She gives it a depth that has been missing on previous incarnations. By far my favorite version.
I first knew about hayley westenra was in Olmplyics vivo per lei song.......her voice had made me change my view on classical music, and forever then I had started listen more classical crossover than hip pop, pop.... Until today I still don't understand how she's not that popular. Her voice is extremely warm and sweet, I love her
Muy respetable y admirable la versión de Joni Mitchel para "Both Sides Now" y eso que soy modelo 53 del siglo pasado, pero me quedo con la de Miss Westenra. Saludos desde Zapopan, jalisco, México.
too bad Celtic Women isn't like it was at the time Hayley was in it so many changes to the members.....I liked this group because I too am Irish....full blooded Irish from Belfast!
With a voice like hers, she could be born from an eggplant that was force wed to a koala and conceived at a honeymoon on Saturn. It doesn't even matter at this point.
I didn't think that Hayley fit into Celtic Women that well. I think her solo work is better. Her voice seems too powerful to fit in with the other members. Although, I may be bias, as Mairead was always my favourite; those violin skills....
I love Hayley Westenra's voice. When I was about 20 years old, I felt how dark this world was. But I understood my thinketh was wrong when I heard Hailey's voice.
I saw her perform in 2005 with The Boston Pops Christmas concert, of all places, in Kingston R.I. I think she was 15 years old at that time. Great concert, like they always put on. She was great as the guest artist singing four songs. Keith Lockhardt was the recent new director.
I just saw your song Prayer on Pandora and I thought to myself, "Man is she talented and she has an amazing voice." Which is true. Keep on doing what you love and makes you feel at peace. :)
True, for me this symbolises being young and not having enough experiences to truly know what life is really about ("I really don't know life at all" etc..) and still having a lot to learn and a lot of life to experience.
+MarcellusTheGreen No soprano her voice is developing into a pop singer .She gets so few concerts these days and her album sales have hit the floor sad though.
+humptythegg Things change. We don't stay young forever (though I think sometimes I stay old forever) and popularity is fleeting and unpredictable. But she had a beautiful, natural voice when this recording was made, no matter what physiology has done to her abilities over the years.

Miss Hayley is a very Natural Genius!!!
Westenra is a world treasure.
ha una voce divina
Beautiful voice
here here
Of course
Yes
Angelic voice! She takes me to heaven every time she sings.
I agree👍🏼
Me too.
Her voice is otherworldly

Joni's wonderful version makes me cry, - This beautiful rendition makes me smile...
The best description so far for the individuals version
Judy Collins sang this song, too.
❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭
She could make me believe in Angels.❤
The prettiest version of this song I've ever heard.

The original version by Joni Mitchell was one of my all time favorite songs. But now I think this may be even better. Awesome talent.
th-cam.com/video/rd8azeG1Bu0/w-d-xo.html
I prefer Hayley's version 1000 times!!!
Singer is one thing, but to compose a classic is another level
An angel on earth!
I grew up listening to this song in my mom's car driving to school. It holds a very special feeling to me and she has a beautiful voice. Love this. Haven't listened to it in years.
I wish she would put more music on TH-cam.
간만에 Hayley Westenra 의 명곡 "Both Sides Now" 즐감하고, 뮤비도 잘 보고 가네요. 참, Hayley Westenra는 미모 뿐만 아니라, 목소리도 아름다운 가수네요.

why does this have only 80,000 hits? it SHOULD be millions!
Just beautiful! What a voice :)
I remember seeing Hayley the first time when she was with the Celtic woman. She has grown to be a very beautiful and talented young lady with the voice of an angel.
And her little sister is following right behind her, another very beautiful and talented young lady as well.
This song was one of my favourites growing up on sunday afternoons.
Blossomly lovely.

Sounds like shit
O @@robertreiheld3238
It's one of my fav songs, as a child ( I'm 60 )
quite possibly one of the most wonderful songs ever written - stunning lyrics. What a gift Joni's song is. Not a bad cover either Hayley
Pitch perfect was the word i was looking for.
But, there are sò much female singers with a voice of an angel.......Hayley is also one of them.
Fresh as morning air!
She is very lovely. We don't seem too have singers here in the States with this mutch class. Shev is truley a world treasure. V.
Much respect for all your talent and hard work!
beautiful rendition of one of best written/ and best melody songs of all time~ very worthy and beautiful HAYLEY
Given the inherent limitations of rhyme, it is an amazing song.

Add Emilia Jones’ cover in your list, maybe Seal

the video here definitely supports your logic...still your are very wise...& you have excellent discernment..
Well put Izzy. :)
She sings like an angel :)
And also looks like an angel.
Well said both of you.
She sings this angelically, so beautiful. ❤🌈💛
I absolutely loved Hayley when I was about 12, where has she disappeared to? 😞😞 such an angelic voice!
She passed away in a car accident. It was horrible really.
Rosemary Witch.... ummm no she definitely didn’t 😒 why would you even say something as horrible when it’s not true
She got married and decided to settle down instead of touring constantly. She wanted to spend time with him. She currently lives in LA with her Hubbie and is an executive producer!
she should be exported from NZ to all over the world. she's fantastic. people of the Earth need to hear her voice. damn beautifulllll voice...
+Ed Shead ...May be she will...it's all up to her manager..
I accidentally stumbled upon her, just now...Love this song
+Ed Shead Watching and listening from France! She sure would deserve even more recognition but she sure is really famous all around the world
She has been on the international stage since 2003 with Decca Records. She has had numerous concerts in Europe and North American in the last 13 years, and expanded into China and Japan.
She really need to go mainstreams occasionally. One hit single could be a great starter
She's been exported all over the world since she was discovered at about 14 or 15. She doesn't need to go mainstream. She's already famous and far beyond starting.
What a perfect voice!
still brings tears to my eyes after many decades.I also love Neil Diamond's rendition. But Hayley's is the ultimate. Thank you for sharing
Best cover yet! Beautiful song. Beautiful Girl!
Haley is, as always, simply wonderful. My favorite singer
Had the privilege of meeting Hayley at one of her concerts in London; very warm & generous woman ; broke my heart when she married but being honest she was far too young for me !!!
So natural and beauty. Just amazing, love her voice She too.
So true. When she sings, the choirs of heaven hide their faces in shame.
@@LerRhann It is good to see another fan who watched this clip after all these years. I wish she could release a new album😢
Nunca me cansaré de escuchar y admirar todas las interpretaciones de Miss Hayley Westenra. Que nunca nos falte. Saludos hoy 5 de febrero 2022.
A gorgeous version of a truly great song. Hayley knocks it out of the park. She gives it a depth that has been missing on previous incarnations. By far my favorite version.
What a beautiful voice you have Hayley. A beautiful cover of an old song I used to listen to. You make the song live again in your own style.
Wow! Always love her..
How did I miss this cover? 10 years ago. One of my favorite songs.
Listen to Emilia Jones cover with sign language version. Joni Mitchell 2000 concert in Canada.
Her voice is so lovely. Everything I see her in all she does is smile, hard for me to think she has an unhappy moment. Lol. She's really wonderful.
Amazing and very underrated here on TH-cam - so far.
Yes...so far...
Such a blessing.
She looks like an angel to me!
and to all of us
And sounds like one too
Hayley is a singing angel. A beautiful voice with a beautiful aura and a physical beauty that makes me feel all oogie. Lol
A lovely version of a beautiful classic!
Hayley Westenra is very beautiful and her voice is more than beautiful.
What an angelic voice, great job
간만에 Hayley Westenra 의 " Both Sides Now" 잘 듣고, 뮤비도 잘 보고 가네요. 참, Hayley Westenra 는 미인이지만, 목소리는 더욱 아름답네요.
i like hayley westenra's singing. she has a really beautiful voice. she is musically talented. i have 3 of her cds. i just love her music.
Absolute Grace and Beauty,Amazingly Overwhelming
14 years old - how did this pop up on my feed? Loved the song then and now ❤️
I love her voice,her music.

love this version Hayley is such a beautiful singer voice of an angel
this is a pure amazing angelic voice. I love this version of that song. I heard her years ago singing..Never Saw Blue. Wow God blessed this angel !
It's 2019 and I'm a big fan of this greatest song. ❤🌌
...and not an X factor judge in sight...thank goodness! What a beautiful song and singer.

I 1st knew of Hayley when she was with the Irish group Celtic Women. .she was simplyamazing in that........I was hooked after that
oldmanrocker That's how I know her. I loved that group.

too bad Celtic Women isn't like it was at the time Hayley was in it so many changes to the members.....I liked this group because I too am Irish....full blooded Irish from Belfast!

Beautiful !
I love Hayley Westenra's voice.
When I was about 20 years old, I felt how dark this world was.
But I understood my thinketh was wrong when I heard Hailey's voice.
Use well the days.
i love Hayley's voice, she is one of my fave singers
she seems so natural compared to alot of singers
She's so beautiful and amazing voice. I was listening to Nana‘s and immediately thought of this
Nice to hear this beautiful song sung by someone who can actually sing.
This song squeezes my soul! So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way...But now they only block the sun
Wow! That...was...awesome...
Still my favourite rendition. the presentation of wisdom from such youthfulness demonstrates a maturity to grow. and she sounds great too.
I saw her perform in 2005 with The Boston Pops Christmas concert, of all places, in Kingston R.I. I think she was 15 years old at that time. Great concert, like they always put on. She was great as the guest artist singing four songs. Keith Lockhardt was the recent new director.
seventeen !
how sweet voice is this
I can't stop listening to this. She is so amazing.
Class song when I graduated oh so long ago. We didn't have Hayley to sing it. So beautiful.
Beautiful voice and beautiful girl!
The best version of "Both Sides Now.
Yes
She has music in her Voice,So amazing!!
I just saw your song Prayer on Pandora and I thought to myself, "Man is she talented and she has an amazing voice." Which is true. Keep on doing what you love and makes you feel at peace. :)
Voice of an Angel ❤
Very beautiful song. Thank you dear Hayley!🥰👏

She sounds like an angel!
The best version!
