I am at a loss for words,. It's technically perfect, but it is so much more, and I cannot find the words. It's as if their voices are connected directly to their souls. Heavenly, beautiful, perfect.
Forget the CALM subscription..., I relax to this beautiful duet. This is perfection! I have been a fan for a long time. I am a nurse and you two have no idea how much you have helped my stress and fatigue. I listen to you both nightly. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I truly hope these two keep making music together from time to time. When they hit that first harmony, I swear to God, I wept. It was just so fucking beautiful.
Wow, sitting here thinking about the great beauty humans are capable of producing. Truth is beauty and beauty truth and that's all I need to know right now.
This is a classic example of the whole being much greater than the sum of its parts. I feel such gratitude for the spirit that allows me to wander and stumble into such treasures.
I’ve loved Sandy Denny,the writer of this gorgeous song,for a life time.Rufus and Brandi,pay great justice to this ethereal song…Thank you from my heart ♥️🇨🇦🇺🇦
can't say that when i first heard this song in '68 at 19] people would still be covering it when i was 71. the duet sections here are breathtaking. ps: rufus and family have worked with richard thompson and family....which connects to sandy
@@timothychildress8313 that's correct. judy's in late 68. sandy's version with fairport in the summer of 1969. ps: just found this quote from linda thompson, " She was so young when she wrote it but it pinpoints exactly the feelings I have now, at 71. It also resonated strongly with me when I was a teenager. Love and loss portrayed so sweetly. A song for all ages.”
Stunning - a gorgeous version of one of my favorite songs. I knew Rufus had a connection to this song, evident in his singing! Brandi does the most amazing covers (not to take away from her also brilliant song writing) so this is a great combo.
I am so defensive of Sandy’s songs, especially the older ones with Fairport. More than anything, this one, and “Farewell, Farewell.” If you’re going to cover Sandy, you’d better bring it. On the other hand, this song (and again, “Farewell, Farewell”) is one I always want my favorite women vocalists to cover, those with the voice and soul to do it justice. I would have been happy enough with Brandi alone covering this incredibly beautiful song. But add Rufus to the mix, and you get something even more special, more transcendent. They did Sandy proud here.
Just gorgeous. So deeply beautiful. I don't understand how anyone could dislike this -- I guess 33 people wouldn't know beauty if it hit them in the face.
Their voices tap into something so visceral that it's hard to even describe it. I sometimes forget that I can feel that deeply, until I listen to Rufus again...
Exquisitely beautiful and fabulous rendition‼💯👌👏🙏🙌🙏 WOW such a magical duet!!! thank you sooo much Rufus and Brandi for this precious Christmas gift!!! ❤🎄💚
WOW! I was not Expecting this. I MEAN...Sorta but nOTTTT....WOW.... Brandi is like EmmyLou.....LIKE A NICE WINE PAIR. WOW Y'all.....Perfect way to wake today!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Stay safe n blessed
@Rufus Wainwright Good Lord, I didn't realize you had the same mother as I did!! I was taught the same thing. And it's such an easy thing to practice. Unfortunately, too many people don't live by that. They hide behind their keyboards and type things they would never say to your face. Regrettably, today, they probably would. As my mother used to say, "If you can't say anything nice, say nothing". Breast your cards! What a pleasure to converse with you.
I found this because I happened to click on a Martha Wainwright ad for her upcoming Liverpool Philharmonic concert. What a joy to come across this in the bargain. Man, what voices. And the other musos!
Omg. Perfect. From the incredible perfect pitch vocals to the sweet sound of every single instrument..I have only ever loved the original..This changed that. Blown away.❤
I never thought I’d say this but I’m really digging Brandi singing new songs that different writers have written....it pushes her..in the best direction.
Great performance and it makes me really miss those many magical nights of live music at eTown, plus times long ago seeing Sandy, Strawbs, Fotheringay and Fairport Convention. Don't know why this song was chosen, or by who, but thanks to you all for such a treat!
That was incredibly beautiful. It has made me cry. I haven’t even had time to the lyrics yet; I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the music - the way the voices blended, the arrangement of the instruments and how they were played with perfect expertise. I grew up listening to the Carpenters, and it has kinda spoilt me. I expect perfection in arrangement and music and voices, perfect harmonies yet all the depth and rawness of emotion. Most music can’t tick all boxes. This, however, exceeded everything. Applause to all involved! I hope to find the song on music apps. Just...breathtakingly beautiful.
Right now there are almost 50,000 views of this video. I'm probably about 10,000 of those views because I can't stop listening to it. Brandi and Rufus' voices seem like they were made to compliment each other and they truly do this beautiful song justice. Hoping it'll be released for purchase. It needs to be permanently in my music collection.
Omg! Heard this on random play while half sleep, and thought it was a long lost duet between Jane Siberry and kd lang. Love this performance so much...

I cannot believe there are not millions of views of this video. Simply incredible, the two of them together.
People are too busy on tik tok watching stupid human tricks
Simply divine
Like...WoW!!!
I've watched this countless times myself....(but I can only click the like button once).
Man oh man oh man you got that right!
If this isn’t THE most beautiful sound!
And why don’t they have this on an album???
Back again. Undoubtably the best thing to come out of the pandemic.
So, so beautiful - I’m ready for a whole album of Brandi/Rufus duets 🙏🏾🌹🌹
A whole album of Sandy Denny covers perhaps...
Omg, YES, Allison!!
@@AllisonRussell God yes! That'd be amazing. Put yourself in the mix too. 😊
we are too!!!
Me too.
I am at a loss for words,. It's technically perfect, but it is so much more, and I cannot find the words. It's as if their voices are connected directly to their souls. Heavenly, beautiful, perfect.
Who knows... Maybe it is just Divine...
Every time Mr. Wainwright opens in mouth... I exhale & swoon. Brandi is the icing on the cake.
Roof Dawg throws his head back like a wolf howling at the moon and Brandi's eyes are those of a celestial deity glowing back ✨
Yes! Well said! Magical.
Beautifully so!
So true! That was so beautiful, and beautifully performed! ❤️
Oh...and Brandi Carlile's voice is butter. They were meant for duets. I would love to see/hear more of these two together ❤
Yes!
Forget the CALM subscription..., I relax to this beautiful duet. This is perfection! I have been a fan for a long time. I am a nurse and you two have no idea how much you have helped my stress and fatigue. I listen to you both nightly. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Nice photo Jenny L. You also have my wife's name. 🙉
Pure Irish Cream Sweet Butter made from happy cows
Pardon me while I never stop weeping
Right? Here's a tissue...
I'm not crying, you're crying....
You made me reflected.... and sobbed.... time is actually passing by fast. Would undo regrets if could reset time... but... love and be loved, y’all
same here
I see Rufus, I like it, I save it, I replay it. It's just what I do.
Same; never ceases to amaze and inspire
My go to song after a very long shift. Its how I release all that I've experienced. Thank you!
Haha same here
Breathtaking. For 5 minutes and 49 seconds I was able to completely forget when I am.
Each artist’s talent goes without saying, but both shine just a little brighter when duetting.
Amen 🙏
Musicians , christ, they are something else.
I have never heard RW sound so beautiful and he always sounds beautiful.
Two of the purest voices out there.
We couldn't agree more!
I wish I could give this song 10 stars......
I truly hope these two keep making music together from time to time. When they hit that first harmony, I swear to God, I wept. It was just so fucking beautiful.
Same here...it’s magic..
I think this is my favorite version of this song. Brandi’s voice is beautiful
Be sure to thank that which lives within you and allows you to openly weep at such beauty. Never take that for granted.
I think Sandy Denny would love this.
Magic. Like, what do you say? When Rufus sings, hearts fall on the floor.
Oh & his father... none better🙏
Gee that guy is a powerhouse. Stunning duet
Rufus, I have loved your voice for a long time, just discovering Brandi...this is absolutely beautiful, made my heart smile. Love from St. Lou
I can’t believe this hasn’t melted a million hearts.
Wow, sitting here thinking about the great beauty humans are capable of producing. Truth is beauty and beauty truth and that's all I need to know right now.
Huge Rufus fan, so I was very excited to hear this when I spotted it... then Carlisle opens her mouth. Shocking.
It's beauty beyond words.😊
This is a classic example of the whole being much greater than the sum of its parts. I feel such gratitude for the spirit that allows me to wander and stumble into such treasures.
Thrilling and magical cover. I think I felt Sandy Denny’s ghost smiling down on us
Aw that's sweet
Songs need to be sung to stay alive, and this is a very good way to keep this song alive.
Love it! Love when Brandi does duets! Brings me back to my Judy Collin days....
Oh my........Absolutely gorgeous. So perfect. So, so perfect. More, please. More.
They both blew me away. Ridiculously beautiful
Mystified why this is not viral
Takes me back to "17", back to Janice Ian, and Rita Collidge's "Close the Window..." all wrapped in Phoebe Snow's "Poetry Man."
... and a bit of Joni, too.
Perfect
Agree, sitting on a blanket in the FSU stadium listening to Rita and Kris K. for me at 16yo. So glad I found these artists in the last decade.
Thx for these 3 new names
I first heard it sung by Judy Collins in the early 70's.
I’ve loved Sandy Denny,the writer of this gorgeous song,for a life time.Rufus and Brandi,pay great justice to this ethereal song…Thank you from my heart ♥️🇨🇦🇺🇦
Brandi is perfection.
Rufus is such a Powerhouse
And Brandi's wife is her videographer!! Beautiful, beautiful tune and performance! Thank you, Rufus and Brandi and all involved!

I didn't know about the Wainwright/Thompson connexion--that makes this all the more moving. Thank you for letting us know!
Brandi Carlile has worked with Richard Thompson as well - pretty much anyone who is anyone in folk music has at some point.
Squeezes my heart with feeling of melancholy. Beautiful mix of vocal expression and instruments of a beautiful work of lyric poetry.
Stunning - a gorgeous version of one of my favorite songs. I knew Rufus had a connection to this song, evident in his singing! Brandi does the most amazing covers (not to take away from her also brilliant song writing) so this is a great combo.
Such a beautiful collaboration of Carlisle/Wainwright and talented musicians. Soul soothing arrangement...

Have you seen Rufus perform at the British folk awards doing this song in honour of Sandy?
Incredible performance
Wow wow wow wow!!! Liquid gold vocals!!! So soothing, complete with chills. I'm blown away by these two storytellers, voices and duet. Amazing. 💗💗
can't find the words........pass me that tissue pls , so beautiful , perfect harmonies
It's wonderfull to listen to you two God bless the Wonders of music. Always in my heart. Love saves.
Two of my favorite artists on the PLANET!!!!!!! 🤘🏼🥲💖 Big love, you two!!!!
Who knows where the time goes🤷♀️? Ohh man beautiful.
what a celebration
Absolutely gorgeous rendition of one of my favorite Fairport Convention songs!
WOW!!! HOLY WOW!!!!! THAT WAS MAGIC....
I'M SPEECHLESS
Brandi and Rufus are like they have the same soul.. love to see and hear them sing.
Just gorgeous. So deeply beautiful. I don't understand how anyone could dislike this -- I guess 33 people wouldn't know beauty if it hit them in the face.
Their voices tap into something so visceral that it's hard to even describe it. I sometimes forget that I can feel that deeply, until I listen to Rufus again...
I have listened to this so many times I have lost count. Just . . . . . simply . . . . . wonderful!!!
Just gonna hit send all and share this masterpiece
Just loop it endlessly
Beautiful
Stunning version of a Sandy Denny classic - a special collaboration indeed.
Exquisitely beautiful and fabulous rendition‼💯👌👏🙏🙌🙏 WOW such a magical duet!!! thank you sooo much Rufus and Brandi for this precious Christmas gift!!! ❤🎄💚

WOW! I was not Expecting this. I MEAN...Sorta but nOTTTT....WOW.... Brandi is like EmmyLou.....LIKE A NICE WINE PAIR. WOW Y'all.....Perfect way to wake today!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Stay safe n blessed
Stunning. That's all. Simply stunning.
@Rufus Wainwright Thank you. It isn't often that 'we' get a reply from the artist. I will definitely remember this. :-)

Two of my all time favorite artists together!
Brandi is such a class act.
So so beautiful, feel every note in my soul
I found this because I happened to click on a Martha Wainwright ad for her upcoming Liverpool Philharmonic concert. What a joy to come across this in the bargain. Man, what voices. And the other musos!
Beautiful. Rufus is one of the best singers alive.
tears rolling down my face... so evocative, such a great cover!!
Omg.
Perfect.
From the incredible perfect pitch vocals to the sweet sound of every single instrument..I have only ever loved the original..This changed that.
Blown away.❤
definition of a perfect duo
Judy collins did a pretty good rendition of this song
wow wow these two are magical together just beautiful
Saw her at bourbon and beyond. Killer band and a very talented woman
Everyone gets an A+ here.
I never thought I’d say this but I’m really digging Brandi singing new songs that different writers have written....it pushes her..in the best direction.
Sandy Denny’s song. Late 60s/early 70s. 🥰
Would love to hear Brandi sing something Irish like On Raglan Road. She could own that song ☘
Hard to beat the Twin Brothers❤
@@yourturn777 oh, hey, I agree 100. But, these little side projects are making her explore her voice and find new sounds.., it’s cool
Well that made 2020 far better. Also I really love that the musicians got a prominent credit at the end.
This reflects the incredible voice that Sandy Denny had.. none of this over theatrical vocal bollox.
Thank you Nick, and thanks to all of your guest artists, production crew, band, and sponsors for such wonderfully world-class music.
the loveliest thing I have heard in a long time...
Great performance and it makes me really miss those many magical nights of live music at eTown, plus times long ago seeing Sandy, Strawbs, Fotheringay and Fairport Convention. Don't know why this song was chosen, or by who, but thanks to you all for such a treat!
Stunning!! Sandy Denny has never been been more ably represented!
Why doesn't this have thousands of views already?
Now it does... we just needed it to be out there for a day. :) Thanks for your support!
Millions and millions

December 2022- always loved this song . Of course , the talent of Rufus and Brandi is undisputed . Their voices together… sublime !!!
Two of the most unique and divine voices together...... what a gift we get from this. I love this.
Ahhhh!! Sweetness... serenity...
Omg, this brought tears! Angelic, just like beautiful Eva was💙✨
Wow. I love both of these artists -- and hearing them together? Wow.
Awe inspiring. They are great together even though they are miles apart.🙏🏼
This is what keeps me sane (or some version of not-crazy)... I feel blessed each time I hear such gorgeous voices raised in song❣️
Right now there are almost 50,000 views of this video. I'm probably about 10,000 of those views because I can't stop listening to it.

Oh geez glad I'm not the only one! I've been sharing it with everyone can't stand to think of them missing out on this amazing duet
Perfection from two of my favorite voices.
One of the greatest songs ever written…..❤ sandy denny…….excellent music🎼🎹🎹🎼
This song is great and she absolutely crushes Soundgardens searching w my good eye closed. Epic asf
Totally agree she's the best
Every single note is so clean, I'm in awe!
Simply heavenly, what a perfect blending of voices and strings.
Just watching this again this morning. Beautiful song, beautiful people, this is truly magical!
What a duo! Saw both of these artists perform at the Seattle Symphony over the years. Incredible, moving experiences every time. Love to you both
Omg! Heard this on random play while half sleep, and thought it was a long lost duet between Jane Siberry and kd lang. Love this performance so much...
Two great voices. Excellent song with words that mean so much to me.
Awww my rufus
OUF !!! EXCELLENT ! Absolument époustouflant ! Génial ! Je ré-écoute derechef ! Merci
Holy smokes! Stunning, literally stunning in the most wonderful way.
Really though, where does it go? ❤️
Back again I cannot stay away❤
How am I just now seeing this?!?!?!?!😮😮😮
I love them both so much. And the song!! What a cover.
SUBLIME, we need more of these two.💜💜💜💜
