I’ve discovered my new favourite artist.
OMG me tooo
@@lunalewandowski1623 same here
Me too
me too
Et moi aussi. Félicitations depuis la France! 😍
She's so underrated bro wth
Gonna make my mark on this comment when it gets 1k likes after she blows up :')
Ikr... am trying to introduce her to my friends and family
Not underrated, she's starting fresh ^.^ give her some months or years :)
Not by me, not by a long shot.
@@RobertoCardadeiro 1 year from now, she's going so strong :) i love laufey
She's like...Chet mixed with Lady Day mixed with Ella mixed with angels singing songs up in the sky. What a refreshing talent.
That run at 1:39 😍
Spot on! Absolutely reminiscent of Mr. Baker with a dash of Lady Day.👍
She's so natural, no flair in all her recordings so genuine. Such a beauty with a beautiful voice, so mesmerising.
I started to get tears in my eyes when the harmonies came in. Lovely.
I gig exclusively at nursing homes. All in the daytime, one hour, no parking problems, no one talks, just listens.I just discovered this angel. Hearing a lot of my rep. so far and loving it. Timeless treasures being enshrined by Laufey.
You're a class act for doing what you do. Respect.
Lyrics
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
Yo buscando la letra en los comentarios y me encuentro con vos... ¡Ahhh!
I’m surprised that I didn’t hear about Laufey sooner. I love her treatment of the old jazz standards, as well as her own music. Her voice stays with me. Beautiful.
This great standard from the end of the 1930`s is so very beautifully served here. Such a deeply thoughtful and considered rendering by one of the outstanding talents currently to be found on YT. Sheer vocal beauty - yet again.
I won't draw any analogies, or say anything cliche ... I just like what she does.
This is where my soul belongs after a pretty f*cked up day. Thankyou. This makes me forget about the cruel world💓
Om mani padme hum🙏🏻
Her voice changes the world. That we feel the soul in her voice also changes the world.
The vibes are transforming all Around us. May more and more people feel the spirit.
I'm left speechless. A devotion to standards is always to be applauded. I still think developing the craft of songwriting is the key to establishing your own standards.😉
I loved that the penultimate guitar arpeggio was the same that starts Someone New! Really makes it feel like the two songs are connected and this one leads into the next... SO COOL
I was thinking exactly the same ! So cool indeed !
You make an interesting point... I didn't notice that!. VERY COOL!!!!
Yea it’s awesome how Laufey weaves these little details into her works!
Btw are you guys the same person? you guys commented basically the same thing and both your accounts are L D...
Daniel Liu I totally agree! Also, hmmm, interesting! What a crazy coincidence we have similar names!😂 Great minds think alike, I guess: in regards to our similar comments. Great observation skills.... LOL.
@@LD-gt4tx wow, there are coincidences everywhere!! This world is so mysterious and fantastic and special isn’t it.... LOL
I hate the world for not noticing this kind of music & beauty.
Don't worry!
Music and beauty hate you for not loving a world that has such music and beauty.
Diamonds are precious because they're rare.
please don't hate, just share your love of her music!
It does, you're just not around those people that do.
@@LD-uc8oc man your comment is just fabulous!
looks so incredibly unstrained and wise while singing and sings so beautifully! Look at those smiling eyes, she is so fully into her music! Simply wonderful, a star!
I'm so happy to see the places you're going Laufey! This was the first cover I listened to on your channel and I absolutely love your rendition of this timeless piece. Cheers
His voice is incredibly tuned, sweet and a magical presence ... Beautiful musicality
Stuck on an island forever with only one performer to hear - LAUFEY all the way.
I appreciate that you put the writer of the song and not who sang it the most iconic. I was so bummed when I found out Frank Sinatra didn’t write his own stuff (I still like him though)
Will you also upload these to Spotify?
From "Nearness of You" to "Moon River", your renditions are the best I've ever heard.
I've heard many covers of this song across decades, and I truly believe your performance is on a different level...it is simply breathtaking. I love your rendition of the song!
This young lady should get on one of those talent shows. She is absolutely stunning, beautiful and sultry and uber-talented. Her genre of music is also so refreshing, innocent and from the heart.
I lost my wife of almost 48 years a little over a year ago. This song always made me think of her. Thank you for bringing her close again. So beautiful!
How dare you bring an old man to tears!
Well done, you have a beautiful Voice that melts my heart.
She is so good I like to see her here in Finland one day....the sooner the better !
The Helsinki Week would be good time...or any time is good for her.
I thank you Laufey for your great singing !
It's silky smooth crooning of a classy classic mixed with acoustic resonance...so glad I have ears!
Part Ella Fitzgerald, Part Sarah Vaughn. I grew up with those voices blasting through the stereo thanks to my mother. I have an insanely deep appreciation for the female voice. You have joined that exclusive list I keep. Dang.
Beautiful as always, Laufey. I escaped for 2 minutes and 41 seconds.
It must be like a dream to have someone as beautiful as you. Takes you into a whole new world - a world where you kiss in the rain and dance under the stars.
This is my home voice after all the genres i've listened to, this is where I can rest without constraints of thinking many things before going to sleep.
Totally unique. Grateful that someone is preserving a great American musical tradition with such taste and commitment.
Please never stop doing music. Talent like yours doesn't come around often.
This is one of my all-time favourite tunes, thank you.
Está chica me recuerda mucho a Julie london, su forma de contar es tan hermosa. Me alegro de haber encontrado tanto talento aquí.
Can you imagine her covering Paul Ankas- put your head on my shoulder 😍
Oh yes, that would be amazing!
The addition of the harmonies is so nice
I am bingeing out all of your songs on Spotify! Sending best wishes from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤
This is my boyfriend's favorite "classical tune" and mine. Im going to share it right now😍🥰
I like how at 2:26 it sounds like the melody of ‘someone new’
I still come back to this and her christmas music even after she's blown up so big. even if I dont keep up with the newest stuff she'll always be in my musical lil heart lol mabuhay ka laufey
Makes my eyes 'leak' just listening to you sing this. Beautiful song, beautifully sung by a beautiful lady. So very special. x
Chills... literal chills...
keep bringing the oldies Laufey..."strangers in the night"..." fascination"..."young at heart" to name a few....great job!
All day.. all year.. all my remaining life here (wut).. I would find you and your voice. You are so blessed by the universe. Always in awe of you. Seriously, thank you.
oldies vibe is just so 💯💯💯
She needs to rise in popularity. Too underrated. People dont know what good quality music is.
✨ Lovely surprise! The harmonies 🥺 sounds perfect, Laufey! 💕
Her voice warms all of our hearts
Enchanting cover of a classic 1937 Hoagy Carmichael jazz ballad..very beguiling artistic talent.
WOW! What a voice. She sounds like the great Jo Stafford way back when in the '40's. Why isn't she signed by a recording company???
I first discovered and fell in love with this piece on Norah Jones' album. I enjoyed her version over others as she sings it a slower cadence., like you do on this. Wonderful job Laufey!
Was already amazing, then the harmonies came in and made it surreal 😱
petition to put this on spotify
I just found out about you today and I'm mesmerized. You're singing songs from 80 years ago and have completely captured the vibe and vocal subtleties, perfectly.
What a soothing, smooth, sweet and lovely voice............ singing this old romantic song. Love it....
I cant stop listening to your album ... Keep up with the outstanding work. All the very best.
I've listened to this for a few nights now, and I think it's gonna become a habit.
Great version of a classic. Brava!
Beautifully sung Laufy 👏🏻 very classic sound. 😎
Hauntingly BEAUTIFUL!
This young lady is an old soul, talented and beautiful. Need more like this one!
Ooh i feel so relax when hear this song...❤
I needed these. Your voice with such a great selection of songs. It's like having a warm drink by the hearth after going through sub-zero weather outside. warm, cozy, safe. Thank you so much for you
Listening to this song two years in the future, its amazing that we can look back at all these songs she has admiring and come to the realization that you can hear her songs within her covers. I am talking about the final notes at the end when they are the exact same notes at the beginning of "Typical of me"
This voice is it’s own magic. There is so much pure beauty in the voice, the arrangement, and the performance…just feels so good to listen!
I need more of her. The music, her essence, everything. More please.
But beware of Fárbauti! :D
so warm voice, congrats...love this song also...i love to play it
So amazingly COOL! So smooth- sailing voice! Very nice...
This is probably the best version I've ever heard. Brilliant!
I’m melting
How you make that spectacular voice seem so effortless...🤩
I can close my eyes and feel the presence from one of the greats. Ella, or Nina.. But I open, and it’s Laufey from Iceland 🙌🏻
You're harmonies and lead are so pure. Beautiful.
Love this song and your arrangement, harmonies and all! Love your voice as well as it's spectacular in every way possible! 😊🎼🎸👍
I just discovered Laufey accidentally from a friend and now my playlist has her songs back to back, her music is just the melody to your soul man- how can you not fall in love T-T
So bluesy, so beautiful. Don't ever stop, lady.
one of my fav. song .... thank you
You voice sounds like an angel I bet you save lives more then you know
this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard. thank you.
Lovely, soulful vibrato
love it....soul soothing.
Good interpretation, and also... excellent version of this ballad...!!!
So glad that there are still young singers out there who can do ballads. And your voice is EXTRA awesome!
One of all-time favorite songs. Lovely rendition and I love the depth your voice brings to it!
the harmonizing. currently melting i love it that much
That was swell. (And so very relaxing - thank you!)
That was by far the best rendition I’ve ever heard of that song. You are so talented.
She’s great .. I’ve listened to that song by Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme and she covers that like she has been listening to that song as long as I have ..100% talent
Better lighting and a quiet, elegant, architectural backdrop are a step forward. They suit the tune, and your fabulous rendition. I felt you were placed in the story in this delivery also. So all in all, terrific!
These harmonies are wonderful
Great music making right here! I like the harmonies. Inspiring
Pure gold !
So glad to have found you...How de do to you! Love what you do. So good. Thank-you!
really comfy on a lonely evening ~~
The spirit that your voice carries is just so full and beautiful
Oh I so love your voice and the choice of music. Old school romantic songs are near and dear to my heart. I wish you the best in all your endeavors. Liked, subscribed and hypnotized. Looking forward to so much more from you. You put a smile in my heart and soul. Thank you. Love always.
Listening to your covers and songs is a mood
please put your covers on spotify, Laufey.. the world needs it :>
This is what makes life worth living for.
What a voice !!!!!!! God bless you!
What an INSTRUMENT!
And Beautiful a Bonus!
An actually Romantic musician! They still exist! Subscribed!
Dear Laufey, I came from your instagram cover of "the sunny side of the street" and I absolutely adored it! 😍 I love listening to your music with my mom. We don't really share a lot so your music means the world to me.
Would you consider uploading "the sunny side of the street" on youtube? That would be so awesome! ❤️
