    Makes its sound like a medieval song that a traveling musician would play so that everyone who cant read, still knows the mythical figures of history. I like it.
    Edit: Yes guys, i know its called a bard.

      Former voice major here. The human voice is the last part of the body to physically mature, usually between 25-27 years of age. I think she's just about reached that age, so as her voice matures, it's going to get better and better as long as she is taking time to rest and use proper techniques that support proper voice function

    Essa musica marcou a minha infância, eu cresci na periferia de São Paulo, com meu ultimo 5 Reais e comprei CD Boney M, e ouvia essa musica as pessoas me perguntava que musica era aquilo porque Boney M era década de 80 e 2006 um adolescente ouvindo essa musica era algo estranho... Mas a historia Boney M existia musica e rebeldia por dentro e uma história onde o Racismo quebrou, alguém pode imaginar quem fez Boney M foi um alemão!? agora vem minha ídolo e canta musica que gosto de ouvir... Isso é emocionante!

    I used to listen to this song regularly with a bunch of college friends that ended up not being friends anymore...
    For a while after, it hurt to hear this song because I would think of the good times we had and how they were gone now.
    I would have never expected one of my favorite artists to cover this song and turn it into something so ethereal and light. It sounds crazy, but it felt like Aurora was almost begging me to come back to the song and learn to enjoy it again, but in a different way.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't permanently cut off a song you used to enjoy because of other people ruining it for you.

    There lived a man in Russia long ago
    He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
    Most people look at him with terror and with fear
    But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
    He could preach the Bible like a preacher
    Full of ecstasy and fire
    But he also was the kind of teacher
    Women would desire
    RA RA RASPUTIN
    Lover of the Russian queen
    There was a cat that really was gone
    RA RA RASPUTIN
    Russia's greatest love machine
    It was a shame how he carried on
    "This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
    But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
    No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
    Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
    For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
    Though she'd heard the things he'd done
    She believed he was a holy healer
    Who would heal her son
