Your voice is unique. I discovered it while living some of the best times in my life. Tough times, too. I learnt a lot, or at least I hope I did. Now everytime I listen to you I'm transported back there. Nostalgy. But a calm one. Thank you for doing that.
Not to sound sentimental or cliche’, but this is a classic fucking record. How’d she do that? My goodness, what a beautiful recording!!! And the arrangement is (chefs kiss) perfect! Brilliant!!!

Monica, Thank you for being you. This is a great track and you have a beautiful voice. Your voice literally makes me smile. You're a legend, take care and stay safe. Much of love Kai x
Your vocals are next to God. Thanks to that Vulfpeck Alone Again Naturally tune I found you. I gotta ask, were you actually gonna take the flute solo or was that comedy. It was brilliant either way. Love your voice and I’m not even a vox person. When I hear a voice like yours it stops me on my tracks.
Did you write this? It sounds like one of those songs where everyone agrees that this version is even better than the original, but I can't figure out what the original is. I mean, I get that good songs can still be written, but this sounds like a modern version of a classic. Too good.
I just discover you via James Bay's story. What to say?! I love your voice, the music, the arrangements, the atmosphere of the song, etc. Just thank you!!!

We've been talking outback by the garbage cans
About dreams that we had and the five-year plan
Missing the mark, we're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll
Pledge allegiance to some sanity
It comes into view for a moment or two, then it leaves me
Apologizing to the neighborhood
And all the calls will be saved, look, I'd wanna be brave if I could
I was talking outback with an empty man, he said
"Remember times that we had before you got in that way?"
Left me in the dark, alone in the park
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll
Cut through the smoke
There's no secret special code
No deeper hidden wisdom
Just accept we'll never know
We've been talking outback by the garbage cans
'Bout dreams that we had and the five-year plan
Missing the mark, we're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid
In twenty years, kid, you're gonna look back
And wish you grabbed it all by the throat
And said, "Fuck it, it's only rock and roll"
One of the best songs ever!!!
Thank you Monica for such a beautiful mystical song
Monica, Thank you for being you. This is a great track and you have a beautiful voice. Your voice literally makes me smile. You're a legend, take care and stay safe. Much of love Kai x
My God, I love your voice Monica!❤️
It's one of my very favorites!
Thank you for making this beautiful and much needed song.

my favorite song of the year?
Please upload an instrumental version! The somber music is beautiful
Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you for making the 🌎 sound so much better 💕
Wonderful work.
So good!!! I remember a live version of this song from an Instagram video from ages ago. The studio recording sounds sickkkkk!!!
Yessss, she's back! Need more of this in my life...
Hot one's fam!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
You and your incredible voice have a special place in my heart, Monica! Since PHOX to now. So happy to see you’re still making music 🧡
Thank you Monica, for this! Thank you James Blake, for bringing me here!

I was thinking it was a remake too, only to find it isn't. It was written by she and Jacob Jefferies. Amazing. An instant classic.
Stunning!
This is a masterpiece
Been waiting for this since you posted a clip of you singing this live a couple years back. Exceptionally beautiful. 🌌
This blows me away everytime. 💗💗💗💗💗
Heartfelt while maintaining impeccable technique, honest without being earnest - Awesome work 👏👏👏
Oh my GOD! Your voice is so enchanting! 😭
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you for this masterpiece ❤️
Love your work!
Just gorgeous.
Thank you. Been waiting for you to post this song since save the senate benefit. Thought that Rufus couldn’t be topped that night. Was wrong.
I just discover you via James Bay's story. What to say?! I love your voice, the music, the arrangements, the atmosphere of the song, etc. Just thank you!!!
