Rachael Yamagata has a way of relating to humanity. The lyrics, although unique to her experiences, touch us in a way where we can see ourselves in past relationships/ a past relationship. The silver lining in her song is if we hadn't been through the heartache and letting go, we wouldn't be standing on the other side in love. I especially love her beautiful, youthful face, contrasted with her strong, adult voice. Although, in the lyrics she is going through pain and misery, her inner strength indicates to the audience that she has handled the fallen relationship.
Every time im heart broken and want to end it- Rachael soothes me … just God…. Was so lucky to see her live . 🙏 . She puts all the unsaid thoughts & emotions into her lyrics .
I must have listened to this about 200 times, but everytime, it bowls me over & reduces me to zero. This girl is a very special person. Thats all I can say.
plus i got the chance to watch her sang this song live in singapore, she cry half way singing it. this song made almost everyone in the concert hall cry. i simply love her. (:
ive been searching for my daughter for years she has your name sake ........i stumbled on to your song by accident , but im glad .....emotional heartwarming simply .....everything i needed thankyou rachael steve
how do I rate this more than 5 stars ??? Seriously.. I've loved this girl since the day I found out about her about 5 years ago. She's got an incredible voice and is an incredible songwriter!
Just came across this on youtube and went straight to Itunes to BUY Rachel's album. Love pure artists like this. No manufactured cookie cutter pop rock. Will always support people like this. Awesome talent.
She is one of the few reasons why today's mainstream artist's (well most of them at least) song are so easy to forget. This genius of a talent must be made to surface for music-loving souls to enjoy.
one piano - one girl - that's all you need - truly awesome and if you get the chance to see her live then move heaven and earth to get to that gig - the most amazing artist ever
Just perfection, a voice that whisper the pain and reasons why life/love is so hard to explain and quantify. The seaarch is what keeps hope alive and is true in life. Rachel, beautiful song PERIODDDDdD
What a STUNNING woman.... what a STUNNING execution of a beautiful song. She's just gorgeous.... makes me.... feel.... sweetly, my feelings. Great versatility of voice modulations...
This song reminds me of the one I love. Especially that part "And if one of us makes it big, we can spill our regrets and talk about how the love never dies....." He's a musician while I'm a model/actress. La Boheme.. And he's married. We live different lives and hope to make it big on our own. But we never fail to look at each other from the distance. And sometimes love is like that, you know the reason why but it just stays like that. And love isn't enough to bring you together. It's sad.
She reminds me a little like Linda Ronstadt - beautiful, brilliantly talented and very smooth. A great listen too artist and performer. Thanks for the post.
I think about how it might have been We'd spend our days travelin' It's not that I don't understand you It's not that I don't want to be with you But you only wanted me The way you wanted me So, I will head out alone and hope for the best And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes You can tell the world what you want them to hear I've got nothing left to lose, my dear So, I'm up for the little white lies But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there I'll buy a magazine searching for your face From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place I'll track you on the radio And I'll sign your list in a different name But as close as I come to you It's not the same So, I will head out alone and hope for the best We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried And if one of us makes it big We can spill our regrets And talk about how the love never dies But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there So, steal the show And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left I wish you well and hope you find whatever you're looking for The way I might've changed my mind But you only showed me the door So, I will head out alone and hope for the best We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried And if one of us makes it big We can spill our regrets And talk about how the love never dies But you and I know the reason why
So it`s a honour to me to be first to commend this really nice cut. Reachel seems to be a very promissing talent. So we will keep her in our minds , and are lookinf forward for the coming concert in Austria, someone ?
very nice, I just read your artical in musicians magazine and had to hear you. this time I hit the jack pot with your music. you are now my new favorite singer.
Painful pleasure to my ears, blood chills to my heart, o what went so wrong that you just had to leave? I would give anything to go back to the start...Missing you Brandi....
I may be 14 years late but I am glad I found this song. Truly moving...
I am 17 years late.. But I agree..
14 years and I'm still here
one of the best, most heartfelt and touching songs have ever had the great fortune of listening to...her talent is so underrated....
A jaw dropping performance... so powerful & full of emotion. This is why Rachel Yamagata is one of the best pure artists in music today.

everytime she sings, i'll get drawn deep into her emotions and stories behind her lyrics.
amazing amazing performer.
2022, after so many years this song still hurts just the same. Pure genius 😢
Ever since I heard this song on The O.C. I loved it.
Every time im heart broken and want to end it- Rachael soothes me … just God…. Was so lucky to see her live . 🙏 . She puts all the unsaid thoughts & emotions into her lyrics .
happenstance is one of the best cd's of all time. i love her. such an amazing voice
This is the most unbelievable and most skillful live performance I've seen yet.
I must have listened to this about 200 times, but everytime, it bowls me over & reduces me to zero.
This girl is a very special person. Thats all I can say.
i love her. i truly do. that's not just words..but look at her! she's a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
plus i got the chance to watch her sang this song live in singapore, she cry half way singing it. this song made almost everyone in the concert hall cry. i simply love her. (:
I saw her live in a church chapel and it was one of the most beautiful concerts I've been to. She completely hypnotizes you into her world.

I just discovered this artist today, and I must say she's briilliant. Her voice and piano skills are just amazing. Glad I discovered her.
this version is even better than the one on the cd. absolutely brilliant. pure soul is a beautiful thing.
Just perfection, a voice that whisper the pain and reasons why life/love is so hard to explain and quantify. The seaarch is what keeps hope alive and is true in life. Rachel, beautiful song PERIODDDDdD
This is the most beautiful, raw, soul igniting performance I have ever heard or seen. Love love love.

Beautiful. One of my favorite songs since the first time I heard it over 10yrs ago. I still love it.
The thing is that she is SOOOOO musical but has the deep and touching lyrics. This is amazing - I'm gone, you're still there - wow.

there's a soreness that this song never fails to cause.
wow.. i didnt new about her.. i totally love her
Absolutely gorgeous.
i find no reason why to unlike any of her performances. All are just fabulous.
I think about how it might have been
We'd spend our days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes
You can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio
And I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I come to you
It's not the same
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
So, steal the show
And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
But you only showed me the door
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I'm in tears.
Expressive, compelling, just great....
Wonderful artist. Wonderful song. Wonderful performance.
