A delightfully warm rendition of a wonderfully rich song by a talented Canadian. My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing Katie live in Vancouver, B. C. some 10 or (more?) years ago at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre (The Cultch) a small and intimate venue. Great evening, thanks to our kids who knew her music moved us and got us the tickets. Thanks kids. Very fond memories.
We get overwhelmed at times by The Flood of our emotions, it would seem life is full of ups and downs but by choosing this song she knows there is Gold In Them Hills and hope you can find your Happy Place. Her songs and song choices shine when performed remember her Diamonds Are Forever. Hope Katie realises how much pleasure she gives at times with her the songs and performances and I hope in the pleasure is felt in return.
I discovered Katie Melua by accident! But once I heard her voice and songs became a big fan of hers. I even went through a local record company to order two of her beautiful CDs..Thank you Katie! You have made me a fan of yours forever and thank you Asylum Record company for getting her music to me. Love you Katie...you are brilliant. Lori Burke
Lyrics : I know it doesn't seem that way But maybe it's the perfect day Even though the bills are piling Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling But if we only open our eyes We'd see the blessings in disguise That all the rain clouds are fountains Though our troubles seem like mountains There's gold in them hills There's gold in them hills So don't lose heart Give the day a chance to start Every now and then life says: Where do you think you're going so fast? We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes It's a case of cruel to be kind And if we get up off our knees Why then we'd see the forest for the trees and we'd see the new sun rising Over the hills and horizon There's gold in them hills There's gold in them hills So don't lose faith Give the world a chance to say: A word or two, my friend There's no telling how the day might end We'll never know until we see That there's gold in them hills There's gold in them hills So don't lose heart Give the day a chance to start There's gold in them hills There's gold in them hills
She sings beautifully in this presentation, better than in any other video I've seen, too bad the beginning of the video with the useless interview and presentation.
She`s young, if not now than when wear the clothes like this? I can`t agree with you. In my opinion she looks lovely. And I don`t think it was about uncovering oneself`s. It`s just her style to look a little bit mysterious and fairytale-like. I truly adore the song :).
Amazing!!! Congratulations!!! I'd love to know which place (country) is this? Beautiful place. The orchestra, the audience, everything perfect. A gift from God to the very first day of the year!! Thank you!!
She is a little too restrained and modest here. She was more free and relaxed, somehow a little happier at Kuschelrock (RTL) in november. It is very nice anyway...
the concert where she sang under the sea was almost 10 years ago and they are still asking for it about it every single each interview in TV......its sick and boring!!!!!!!!!!!

I know why nodody in the house get up at the end of the song when they should: The public are all to old,.. What a pity...
original is better , listen to ron sexsmith original, original without the slow electronic beats. . listen to the whole track there are parts where his voice puss of the difficult notes in this song as they were written and no one else has yet be able to manage. . unfortunately including Katie
This time I prefer the cover to the original. Although the lyrics are very personal, to me parts of the original sound emotionless and somewhat bored. In fact, the cover sounds more as if Katie´s written the lyrics herself, cause she sings as if those words mean a lot to her, as if those words were her own (apart from the fact she has a better voice and no problems at all when it comes to hitting the difficult notes).
You are partially right. Nevertheless, she is 28 and she should be a bit more serious in dressing herslef. She doesn't need to stress her sex appeal. Her songs are very deap with respect to content. That is why she doesn't need to uncover herself. Bare legs, in my opinion, don't give mystery to her image; just the opposite. For older people she might be considered as a big child, that is why Royal Albert Hall (probably) deserves more formal dress. Her legs are very slim and look terrible.
The Bueatifully sung song, but the skirt of Ms Melua could be a bit longer. Maybe 25 cms. In my opinion she doesn't need to uncover herself that much, as she sings beutifully and her song become more and more adult. From I kill you to hope for very experienced with very unplesent cases people. From songs for teenagers to songs for mature people. From hidden hatered to exposed love. Bravo, good work.
Ron Sexsmith is the greatest songwriter of his generation. A genius.

Ron Sexsmith is an amazing songwriter. Everyone should look him up, asap, and listen.
Yes. And she may be a superior singer technically, but his own rendition is the one everyone should be flocking to.
Gorgeous with a hopeful message. I love Katie Melua and have for many years!😗
I know that you won't read this, but I love you! Waaah, amazing *---*
Beautiful rendition of a golden song!
It's a golden song, anyway!
She is so beautiful and talented. Nowadays it's very rare mix
Oh, what a beautiful the song Katie has a beautiful the voice like an angel 👼 I like to listen this song, Katie thanks for a good song😉

Love this version so much ❤
Perhaps the best music performance I've seen in my life.
Katie is awesome! She has the most beautiful and moving voice ever! Love this song only in her version.
One of the few artists who sound even better live than in studio.
I will forever cherish her music🎶
Lyrics :
I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling
But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains
There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start
Every now and then life says:
Where do you think you're going so fast?
We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind
And if we get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
and we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills and horizon
There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say:
A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
We'll never know until we see
That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start
There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
:v
She's like an angel...
She's so gorgeous with a voice to match.
Oh yes, she is really wonderful.
So beautiful, as always!
I would give anything to be at her concert...it's really a privilege

I agree. The original is much better. But it's great that she's covering Ron's song. I hope more people discover his incredible music.
