She has an awesome voice, so serene.  Likey.

why did she cover this?  great song, but seems like there's a ton of other standards more worthy than this....unless there's some kind of personal connection.

production's cool.  I like the finger squeak (fingertalk i think it's called) on the guitar work.

Not a worthy cover IMHO.

Hmmm.....maybe if she'd put more emotion into it, it would have worked. As it is, it really doesn't.

Fly Me To The Moon lyrics

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
In other words, please, be true
In other words, I love you

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
In other words, please, be true
In other words, I love you

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
Fly me to the moon
Fly me to the moon

..an old standard from the 50's..i like the reinvention-!..

Sometimes, covers work. Covers that go off the beaten path. Deliberately.
This does NOT work. I repeat, does NOT work.
Should have just written an original lyric.
Awful.

Yeah, trying a little too hard to be "special"...   it's like Anna is waving a small little flag much too fervently.

No, don't like it.  I grew up with the Astrid Gilberto version and this one is too atonal, no emotion.  If I hadn't heard the words, I never would have thought it was that song.

I really love Fly Me to the Moon and just sat down to listen to RP.  I missed this song so I took the link to iTunes to hear it, but it says nothing found.  When I search for Anna Ternheim and Fly Me to the Moon, no dice.  What gives here?  I'd love to hear this track.

My dad sang this to me every night before I went to bed, back in the 60s. Frank Sinatra's version. Can't abide by this one, not even a bit.

Holy crap!  The song was half over before I finally zoned in and started listening to the lyrics and realized what it was... I liked it just fine before, and even more now.  You don't hear such classic tunes reworked to this degree too often...

Very nice cover.  Love RP for playing lots of what you seldom find anywhere else.

Innovative, stripped-down remake - sounds fabulous.

Yes! The ending is very interesting.
For another deconstructed song and reput together, Can we hear the Civil Wars and Billie Jean?
Their version is a totally new way-just acoutic guitar and voices..

Well, put me on a rocket and call me Kirk, this is a certainly a different take on the old classic. Anna deconstructs it and recasts it in a sombre Swedish light. I'm sure Frank is spinning in his grave, but I like it. I also like the way she says Jupiter...Juuupitar {#Music}
