    Adams' rendition touches my soul every time I play this tune. Watch her at the bridge when she hits certain chords on the piano. She FEELS that music deep in her soul. Thank you.

      I don't know if she's underrated or just not as well known as some singers. I think she is a singer's singer... people who really know and love music, especially jazz, soul, know her worth. Just not a popstar - which is fine by me! 😊

I cry for me and humanity and the state of the world that we are living in now....My prayer is that everyone who hears her sing this song has a profound change within them for the betterment of society. We all must change. Everything Must Change, No One Stays The Same....Why not make the change for the better...

    In 2005, our family lost 4 members in a tragic car accident. As I laid in bed crying one night and listening to music, this song came on and ministered to my broken heart. Yes, everything must change... nothing and no one is promised to us forever so we have to let people know how much we love them while they are here. Oleta and this song have a special place in my heart and I listen to it whenever I'm feeling grateful for the things and people God has blessed me with. Thank you Oleta Adams. 💓🙏

    damn. I mean damn. this song is among the worlds most beautiful it is pastoral and steeped in legend and Oleta Adams defines the emotion that this song represents, to take you to a place far away and to touch your life and teach you that every thing DOES change. Miss Adams is speaking about every human being. Beyond belief.

    I love Oleta too - " Get Here " was the first dance with my new wife in '93. She is my second favorite singer of THIS song however. Ain't no one sing the shit outta it like my man Benard. Check out his version from his " Little Dreamer " LP, released in 1978, four years after it's definitive release with him, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Dave Grusin et.al. from Q's Body Heat LP. I reiterate though - I DO Love me some Oleta.

    Incredible. I was introduced to this stunning song via the amazing Oleta and recently discovered the earlier Randy Crawford version which is entirely different but also brillz. Love Oleta.
