This version makes me cry. I listened to this before I deployed. I went to the Tears for Fears and Hall & Oates concert once I was medically retired and of course there's nothing like the original but damn... This one makes me cry and I don't cry often. 'Tis very beautiful! Everyone stay motivated and make your dreams become real. You're all destined for greatness. Much love.
This girl can pull tears from a stone & I should know. There IS something "like the original," and that's "another original." Thank you for your Service & Semper Fi..
Diane Birch is amazing. We talk about Daryls awe, but the man picks the cream of the crop to play music with. To all the folks that make it happen. Hats off to you.
I recently heard on sing for the first time ever on Live from Darryl's House. I was completely blown away by her voice. She is also incredibly pretty. I am now a huge fan of her.
Where did this young lady come from? Watched her at Daryl's house and I fell in love with her voice. So I came here and man what an amazing talent. I am surprised I have never seen nor heard of her before tonight. Thank you Daryl for bringing this wonderful lady out into the light.
Delicious cover of a tired 80s warhorse that almost no one ever covers without ripping off the original. This woman has the style and courage to make the song her own. Great stuff.
It's a tuffie. . . It's an identifiable classic where if you don't include the iconography people won't take it seriously. Like the guitar intro of Stairway to Heaven.
I could listen to this young lady for days. Amazing talent, voice and feel. She sings from the soul. Catch her performance at Daryl's House. Simply amazing. Daryl was so impressed...and so was this old musician who scored his first paid gig in 1966.
Absolutely wonderful. I am so impressed by Diane Birch. Her version of this song is a classic. A piano, a song , a voice and a huge talent ..that's all one needs to make great music.
Absolutely wonderful performance ❤️⭐️ I’m now 59 and this is my day young lady ⭐️ ABSOLUTELY appreciate you since I saw you 12 years ago already on Live from Daryl’s House 💫🦋You are fantastic 💪 NickyD Bay Area SoulArtist
I have always resonated with this song, especially this particular cover. It is a song about self belief, or the lack of it. She or he is talking to herself , trying to convince herself and ignoring the demons inside which talk us down. It is about being rock bottom yet not throwing in the towel just yet. She is asking for help, she knows she is bigger and better than what is grinding her down. She knows people need her. She knows she can be herself even when not fitting in hurts. It’s a song of hope. Determination. She knows that everybody faces battles, day to day, big or small but she is not about to fold. It is about personal battles we all fight. It’s heroic, wonderful and majestic and has kept me and no doubt many more, optimistic and positive when we need it most. Timeless.
What a beautiful display of your voice and a strong enlighting song ......especially in this time of COVID.....Thank you Diana.....Your songs and voice inspire us.....I have made several comments on your You tube and each time I say.....You are a young girl....with a wise way!!!! Sing for us all more....more...more
Jesus Christ!! this is incredible. Her talent and being a real artist gets her in that position where the cover sounds as good as the original, different style, different music genre and doesn't make you mad to hear the original song sang this way. Superb!
I'm a big fan of tears for fears then and now, but for some reason I always skip this song when it starts to play. Hearing Diane's cover made me love this song. I find her version refreshingly laid back. I simply love it. ❤
How is she not world renowned ..my god she has it all..Lovely ..incredible voice and so much soul..her voice intricacies are beautiful..should be on top !!
Caught her solo at Joe's Pub a couple of years back and was blown away, not what I expected but much better, deeper and rich. She has a great stretch and she moved seamlessly from bluesy to jazz to classical giving her material great scope.
A new favourite singer of mine, Diane: keep it strong and keep going!!! I like how she makes the songs uniquely hers.... a little country twang mixed with just sheer talent to make a new unique sound.
There she goes giving me those cosmic goosebumps again!!! Love her sound! All of it! Love the whole composition. Very well balanced and I feel healing vibration.
Incredible! Why the hell haven’t we heard more from her! Saw her on Daryls house an have been a fan ever since! This girls got it! Dam it! Let the world hear her music!
She is so unbelievably awesome!!! I saw her at Joe's Pub in NYC amazing! She's beautiful an amazing musician, voice of an Angel and blows all these so called "talented" ones out there today!!!!
Yeah she is very beautiful. But fr me it's not just the outer at all.She oooozes inner balance and beauty too through the way she sings and plays the piano.
Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find You acting on your best behavior Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world It's my own desire It's my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do, I'll be right behind you So glad we've almost made it So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world Say that you'll never, never, never, need it One headline, why believe it? Everybody wants to rule the world All for freedom and for pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world
I don't know if this has an deeper meaning behind it but to me it's about that almost every pop music artist today wants their music to be the best and there music video to be the most outstanding and to me that's not were music is about its about expressing yourself and having fun so this is why I like this video so mutch
I just love the way she sings. I really wish I could get all these songs she sings on UA-cam downloaded to my iphone. ITunes does have this one or some of the others...darn!
I'm an old guy. I listen to this beautiful young woman with a great voice and think of........Laura Nyro! Laura possessed a strong voice that was best served with piano....she died too young from cancer. She wrote many songs that we've heard out of the '70s (Fifth Dimension, et al) I would love to hear Diane do Laura's "Tom Cat" anyone with me?
She has that "thing" that Carole King and Carly Simon has...just a natural talent for emotion and expression without sounding like she is trying. Soul from the Heart. I am a fan.
Exactly! That's where I think the goosebumps come in for me when I listen to her.. Some sort of cosmic communication going on for sure.I'm head over heals!
If it weren't for the fact that I'm old and fat and ugly and broke I'd sure make a play for her. Seriously though I come here for this amazing woman and this song which calms me down in these troubled times.
Love her ever since her appearance on Live From Daryl's House...I became an instant fan!
Peter M me too
Same happened to me! Lol
Same
Same here!!! Love her!
So did I 😊😊.
This girl needs much more publicity that she is getting... she has a natural singing Talent. we need to hear a lot more from her.
Leena No doubt
Leenahiigbjhh
Leena GOOD POINT!! SHE'S A RARE TALENT!!!!
Why is she not a HUGE star? So much talent!!!

Diane's voice in this song calms my mind & lifts the soul.
she is mixing everything here jazz,soul, pop,classical,rock and if anything i left out , that also ,she is fkn great
My God, her voice has so much soul and conviction. I love this so much!
This lady’s star is high, and her soul is deep. I discovered her at Daryl’s too, and I’m so much the better for it.
Anybody else keep coming back to this cover years after? It's superb and unforgettable.
Bodhi me!! Its so chilling n so haunting in a good way.

Amen to that and yes I know right?
No matter how many times I listen to Diane I am always blew off the water
This girl is incredible! So unique, simple but so defined! Love her!
She is a Blessing to our ears.

Why blaspeme for emphasis?
This is an amazing version of this song. I'm really sorry I didn't find Diane Birch before this. Her voice is intoxicating.
I'm a big fan of tears for fears then and now, but for some reason I always skip this song when it starts to play. Hearing Diane's cover made me love this song. I find her version refreshingly laid back. I simply love it. ❤
Never get tired of hearing Diane Birch sing this song, Great job making it her own.
Wow. This is the third time I've listened to this and I'm blown away everytime by the simplicity and beauty of this rendition.
How is she not world renowned ..my god she has it all..Lovely ..incredible voice and so much soul..her voice intricacies are beautiful..should be on top !!
Absolutely lovely. And much needed these days.
Beautiful cover sung with such heart!!!
Caught her solo at Joe's Pub a couple of years back and was blown away, not what I expected but much better, deeper and rich. She has a great stretch and she moved seamlessly from bluesy to jazz to classical giving her material great scope.
I love this girl's musical sensibilities. She could sing the phone book and make it memorable.
Amazing cover. Diane made it her own.
Her voice has so many depth in it. Really enjoyed it.
Why is this girl so under rated? she is so talented!
+Diane Evans underrated like secretariat or seabiscuit. Baby's time will come
J Puglisi
??wha?? lol, Baby?
even railroaded by her record label. Check out her new work, she's blazing a path on her own! Self produced
birdsfallsilent

NOT SURE THE WORLD IS UPSIDE dOWN CUZ SHE IS bad ass
Simply amazing, this young woman performs music like in the 60`s or 70`s as the great singer/songwritr did in the past in the Brill Building
A new favourite singer of mine, Diane: keep it strong and keep going!!! I like how she makes the songs uniquely hers.... a little country twang mixed with just sheer talent to make a new unique sound.
My era was listening to the great Orzabal and Smith, what a brilliant rendition Diane.
This is one special talent , the whole package !!
She should be a superstar !!
I fell in love first time , I saw her face !!
There she goes giving me those cosmic goosebumps again!!! Love her sound! All of it! Love the whole composition. Very well balanced and I feel healing vibration.
It does NOT get better than this. Wowza!
Just discovered Diane. I love everything she does! WOW
What an amazing performance
The definition of "killing it." Quietly.
This lady is so good .A beautiful cover of this song.

She has such talent. Look forward to hearing more.
Wow, what a beautiful voice!
Diane really does make this her own one of the great covers that not everybody can do
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find You acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never, never, never, need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
So sad they had to "fake it." That's it, my friend ☺
outstanding talent ms birch, great artistry all the besty
She was discovered by Prince, he obviously had a great taste
Great version of that song. I love your voice and expressiveness.
I don't know if this has an deeper meaning behind it but to me it's about that almost every pop music artist today wants their music to be the best and there music video to be the most outstanding and to me that's not were music is about its about expressing yourself and having fun so this is why I like this video so mutch

I'm an old guy. I listen to this beautiful young woman with a great voice and think of........Laura Nyro!

I'm with you!!
Came back 2019!
"SHE'S A RARE AND SPECIAL TALENT."
Girl you best get that talent OUT THERE for the world to hear...wonderful voice!!
She has that "thing" that Carole King and Carly Simon has...just a natural talent for emotion and expression without sounding like she is trying. Soul from the Heart. I am a fan.
always great.... I love your music, great cover too
Music to my ears. Pure talent, beautiful voice that comes from the heart. Love her emotions
Full of soul, reminds me of Carol King!
Thought I was like in an swirling eddy. Her voice just calms me. She reminds me of Carol King. Soulful, deep and introspective.
Diane, Diane come out wherever you are! We are ALL waiting and wanting to see YOU!
That voice owns this song at her tempo.
Her voice is magic. I am reminded of Laura Nyro when I hear this. This was another Daryl's House discovery for me. Just stunning!
M Riverlands everything you said!
I wish that she would do a cover of "To a Child". I think it would be one for the ages.
Incredible musician! What a beautiful voice
now thats a voice with an old soul
Exactly! That's where I think the goosebumps come in for me when I listen to her.. Some sort of cosmic communication going on for sure.I'm head over heals!
Fantastic! I like this one a lot. Classic Diane!
Fell in love w her since Darryls House
What a voice , what a style !!! Pretty young woman , complete package !!!!
That's where I first saw her and I'm a big fan
If it weren't for the fact that I'm old and fat and ugly and broke I'd sure make a play for her. Seriously though I come here for this amazing woman and this song which calms me down in these troubled times.
Superb cover! Love it.
