I've gotten to the point where as soon as I hear that voice I go "Oh goody - Neko" I like everything

git's me all tingly 'n stuff...

Wow. What a let down. I love Neko and when I saw her live she blew me away with this song (and others). But this version doesn't do this song justice. Rushed, no depth to the sound, not her usual soul coming through.

Great to hear her without the reverb for a change - loves me some Neko!

YEOW! Love me some NEKO!

It's not just the voice. The lyrics provide many layers. She really is the whole package. Amazing that she isn't more known -- and acclaimed.

I think the title of this song is a damn fine description of Neko's voice. Girl got pipes.

NPR has one of her concerts here:

Thought it sounded pretty good.

I almost can not bear to hear anything from this recording, nor I have I had the heart to Netflix it. Because... and this is so selfish... I couldn't be there! -SOB!- I wanted to go SO BADLY, but had a family emergency and had to give away my ticket. :( I almost cried when I handed it over. :(

This version doesn't cut it, Bill. You turned me on to Deep Red Bells, and what makes the track is the distant echo sound added to the vocals. So that version is outstanding. This live version, on the other hand, wouldn't cause me to stand up and take notice of Neko, as I had previously with the studio version.

I agree with others: It's a great song, but this isn't the best performance of it. In fact, there's one place where the vocals drop out because she moved away from the mic by accident. The album version is far better.

Neko, where have you been all my life?
(Oh yeah. Hanging out with other incredibly talented, beautiful, and successful people.)

Maybe in situ you are also picking up her energy. But maybe she was picking up too much energy like a sugar high when this was recorded. She just rushes through it here, whereas the studio version has the added depth and sexiness of molasses.

One day... she will be mine. Oh yes.

her voice "live" will pick you up and make you feel like you are flying!!! And she is very funny!!

I wouldn't mind being one of her Boyfriends...

AHHH, Neko, what can I say

I agree, her voice is great... Thanks to RP for introducing her to me!

adequate but not exciting
