May 4, 2012 - Sophie Barker with "Destiny" in the Bing Lounge at 101.9 KINK.FM. Portland, OR. FB: / binglounge Twitter: / thebinglounge Tumblr: / binglounge
I love this song and Sia's vocals but, man, she blew me away. Sophie's voice is so warm and mellow. It's like laying down with a loved one and taking a long peaceful sleep.
So so good. I didn't think anyone other than Sia could do this song justice but Sophie more than does so. She has such a beautiful voice. I miss Zero 7 actually. They had so many great songs & were clearly top class musicians and vocalists.
I'm obsessed with the live version with Sia and Sophie. It's a beautiful, harmonious version. I came here from a Reddit link and have found that Sophie brings a delicacy to the song, which is really disarming. It's a fantastic version and shows what a great vocalist she is.
What a brilliant version of this song, Sophie has an absolutely exceptional voice and deserves to be known by more people... Love to see her live after stumbling upon this clip!
What a fantastic version of this song, love it! Both Sia and Sophie are great singers and both versions have something special about it...absolutely mesmerizing :)
♥️ I’ve watched this particular version of Destiny so many times I wish there was a “Love” button because liking is not enough to describe my feelings for Sophie’s version...Chloe’s violin is mesmerizing
WOW...so much more warmth and character in her voice now than back in the day! She also seems more confident generally! definitely improved with age! very nice version and matches the strength of Sia's own version!
I totally agree. I'd love to see a Z7 alumni tour. Imagine hearing them on stage both individually and collectively. Sophie's voice really soothes that itch I had for hearing something different and wonderful. I'm an old classic rock guy but this genre of music really does it for me. I just purchased Seagull and I'm looking for Earthbound on cd.
I thought that Sophie did bcking vocals to Sya in the original version. But hearing her alone is just fantastic, her voice is sweet but strong. A great version.
An absolutely amazing acoustic version, she does!!! I love it! Back in the 70s, which this entire album sounded as if it had managed to escape to us from, the entire song would have been done with only the guitar. It would hi-lite her vocals as well as give the guitar and its haunting chords even more atmosphere. This is one of those times I wish it was only the guitar and Sophie Barker.
Didn’t Sophie write Destiny? It’s lovely hearing her solo rendition but I have to say I enjoy both versions. It’s probably the track that gives me the most feels on the Zero 7 Simple Things album. I remember a moment in time when DJ’s would play Destiny at some of the best chill out parties in London. Magic.
All the vocalists that have collaborated with Zero 7 are beyond good, they're just exquisite. Incredible voices especially when singing together and harmonising. Tina Dico, Sia and Sophie-absolute perfection.
Jesus Christ. Since the 07's been listening to Zero 7, just found out Sia, Sophie and the rest of the vocalists didn't get it. Love that I had no clue about who, where, why or what they were, just related to the sounds played and sung. Thank you for singing this Sophie the entire piece.
sophie is a class act! she is so humble and decent. look at her taking a sip from the water bottle turning AWAY from the audience. and she speaks highly of sia by saying i’m going to “attempt” to sing the verse.. wonderful to have been a fan of her work with zero 7 ♥️💜
When it comes to music, I am old-school, because I am 52 years old! Along with The Black Keys and Amy Winehouse, Zero 7 got my attention. They were great. This performance? The beautiful Sophie Barker knocked it out of the park!
Just saw this now! Destiny was my first experience with Zero 7, Sophie Barker, and Sia and needless to say, was enraptured by all three from the beginning! Love this!
awsome, so much quality in your voice, unbelievable. Wish i could have benn at a Zero 7 concert with Sia & you singing. can't even imagine the feeling.
Didn't know Sophie was doing solo work - she's so much a part of Zero 7 and that wonderful mood they create. I'll keep an eye out for performances and will now go look for albums. Very beautiful work. The violin was a great idea.
I sincerely apologize, even though you may not care, that I have not heard this until now. And I’ve loved this song since I first heard it 20 years ago
Though the original with Sia is credited well hard, this version shows how powerful Sophie really is. Damn she should have got so much more attention!!! Beauty!
Quality and so very beautifully delicately intimately executed.. Sophie, you have such a beautiful voice.. filled with authenticity and true emotional and spiritual connectivity to those who wish to connect with a unique sound you helped develop years ago, which i listen to around the clock on and off since this was released. Thanks for giving this world your beautiful gift.. Where ever your heart mind spirit and soul was when you wrote this, find a peaceful spiritual inspirational environment and close the world out and start writing again.. (We Are All Waiting?!) What is past is prologue.. and you still have so much to five which the world wishes to embrace with love and open arms.. god bless you Sophie.. You are a special lady performer, writer and human being.. We live you so very very much ❤😘X
" When I'm weak, I draw strength from you, and when you're lost, I know how to change your mood..."
If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you've a good taste in music. 💞👌😊👍
Yes, I do. ;)
Thanks :)
A number one favorite.
Thank you!!!!! I needed your approval for sure!!!!! LOL
Thanks mate
I'm 68 and this is my favorite tune
I'm 38, mine too! I discovered all Tina/Sophie/Jose Gonzalez/Sia/Zero 7 music while backpacking Australia. So many amazing memories to this music.
No matter the version or singer - this is one of my favorite songs ever written
I feel exactly the same way. Guitar chords, melody, lyrics. Perfection.
I’m bending time getting back to you...
Same here
Same
Luv this for a Sunday morning 🌈
It gives me incredible feels
I love this song and Sia's vocals but, man, she blew me away. Sophie's voice is so warm and mellow. It's like laying down with a loved one and taking a long peaceful sleep.
I know! Sophie just nails it!
thats beautiful
I love sia, and I’m sure sia would understand that appreciating the originating artist is...wow. Can totally see that this is Sophie’s work.
Sophie's voice is too much better than the nasal voice of Sia
@@zennyquandry8913 Totally agree.
So so good. I didn't think anyone other than Sia could do this song justice but Sophie more than does so. She has such a beautiful voice. I miss Zero 7 actually. They had so many great songs & were clearly top class musicians and vocalists.
I couldn't agree more. Well said JLH.
Totally agreed, although I think SB's voice is too soft for my taste. I prefer the raw aggressiveness of Sia's voice when singing this song.
100% agree - love Zero7 and both SB & SF voices.. I have to say that I much prefer Sia singing verse..
I agree. sorry for what I said about Sia. She just found another way which I appreciate less.
Agreed. SB is my favorite singer between the 2 for sure. Sia's got a growl to her sound that I can do without. Sophie soothes.
2023 checking in! This is such a haunting version of this song. I love the original with Sia and Sophie, but this version just hits differently.
I'm obsessed with the live version with Sia and Sophie. It's a beautiful, harmonious version.
I came here from a Reddit link and have found that Sophie brings a delicacy to the song, which is really disarming. It's a fantastic version and shows what a great vocalist she is.
I love the way both Sophie and Sia sing this song. Love them both and love this song.
watch when they sing it as a duo... amazing
Hahaha! "Im going to attempt to sing the verse." Right... Half way through the first verse and she's already killing it. So modest.
What a brilliant version of this song, Sophie has an absolutely exceptional voice and deserves to be known by more people... Love to see her live after stumbling upon this clip!
I love every version that she (separately) and Zero 7 (collectively) performed Destiny. This version I would describe as "haunting"
Bloody Beautiful
Love Sophie Barker. Magnificent artist. Talented and gorgeous.
This version is heart numbingly beautiful.
I can't believe how deep her speaking voice is
Her and siaa voices together is like a walk in Paradise
Even without Sia, what a voice, what talent. Beautiful, thank you.
Utterly sublime. What a voice.
Beautiful No other words just beautiful
This is super awesome. I only knew the original version, but this is moving.
What a fantastic version of this song, love it! Both Sia and Sophie are great singers and both versions have something special about it...absolutely mesmerizing :)
Perfectly said Michal.
♥️ I’ve watched this particular version of Destiny so many times I wish there was a “Love” button because liking is not enough to describe my feelings for Sophie’s version...Chloe’s violin is mesmerizing
This is my favorite version of this song. Sophie is amazing! I listen to this over and over!!
WOW...so much more warmth and character in her voice now than back in the day! She also seems more confident generally! definitely improved with age! very nice version and matches the strength of Sia's own version!
2021 and still one of my all time favourite songs, fantastic version, what a voice.
This is my new favorite version of this song. The violin is a lovely addition.
Yes Sophie!!!
man i wish the whole of simple things was filled with sophie and sia's singing
You are such a beautiful soul... Beautiful... you, the tune, the rendition...
amazing vocals from sophie
What a gorgeous version.. wouldn't expect anything less :)
These Z7 alumni vocalists are just mind blowing - all of them!
Amen !
I totally agree. I'd love to see a Z7 alumni tour. Imagine hearing them on stage both individually and collectively. Sophie's voice really soothes that itch I had for hearing something different and wonderful. I'm an old classic rock guy but this genre of music really does it for me. I just purchased Seagull and I'm looking for Earthbound on cd.
Tina's performance on Jimmy Kimmel is still a stunnah.
Truth!!
Amazing!
A beautiful rendition.
This version is so beautiful!!
The guitar player here is amazing!
And Sophie, oh Sophie what a voice and performance!
At the ripe age of 78 I can honestly say this is one of the greatest classics.
Can't stop listening to this version 💙
Sophie's always so sincere and authentic. Everytime she sings a song I believe her.
I thought that Sophie did bcking vocals to Sya in the original version. But hearing her alone is just fantastic, her voice is sweet but strong. A great version.
This song and its performance are beautifully moving, resonating deeply with the listener

Breathtaking! What a sultry and lovely Songbird, my goodness!
Best version I've heard. Be yourself Sophie.
I love all the many versions: this song is so strong.
Wow, such a great version. Sophie's voice is velvet...
Beautiful versión and amazing voice♥️
beautiful Sophia, I miss Zero7
fantastic song

Sophie , put's angels to shame.. What a voice..
Your voice dear Sophie is like silk. So soothing after a long week.
Sophie was always my favorite, saw her live, she's just got it.
when I' weak, I draw strength from you. when you're lost, I know how to change your mood. when i'm down, you breathe life over me...
Great Sophie! Wonderful song and really appreciated performance.
I cannot thank You enough for sharing this...I have seen many versions, this is Sooo Sweet...props!
Beautiful performance of one of my all time favorite songs. Thank you.
That was seriously beautiful . I’m ashamed for never seeing this knowing it’s been a favorite for 18 years.
OMG. So lovely! Best version!
Jesus Christ.

one of my favorites songs ever, makes to feel music from the hearth
Sophie is class... This is beautiful. Such a talented lady.
Damn...Sophie is an enchantress. ❤️
Agree with the comms about this version but would like to add that she comes across as such a polite humble person.
Absolutely flawless, beautifully performed.
I just found this song a few days ago listening to Pandora. What a beautiful, moving piece of music!
When it comes to music, I am old-school, because I am 52 years old! Along with The Black Keys and Amy Winehouse, Zero 7 got my attention. They were great. This performance? The beautiful Sophie Barker knocked it out of the park!
Gorgeous version
This is just stunning..

Mike Stirewalt I would have liked the song to have ended with much more of the violin...so beautiful
Lovely voice.
Oh my goodness! This was wonderful!
Amazing version of this song!
Absolutely Beautiful! 3 great musicians!
Every couple of months I travel the country for work and inevitably end up a bit buzzed and listening to this along with acid jazz.
Wonderful composition ❤
I sincerely apologize, even though you may not care, that I have not heard this until now. And I’ve loved this song since I first heard it 20 years ago
What a lovely version👍🙂
Listening again and at least you can hear all the words.
Absolutely class 2021
Beautiful rendition, Sophie. 🌹❤️
Beautiful!

Though the original with Sia is credited well hard, this version shows how powerful Sophie really is. Damn she should have got so much more attention!!! Beauty!
