This song is almost impossible to sing without a mistake. So many vocal runs, on every single note. There's a lot of sustained notes and she's singing mostly thin consonant and vowel sounds which makes it even harder to hold them out and to sing them in the upper range but BANKS nailed it of course.
I am so glad that no one was talking during her show in Berlin because I would've punched every single talking person in the face without a warning! Especially with this version of Better. It had me in tears
This performance is so healing, and I don't know why. The crowd, her voice, the lighting, the song, it's all so beautiful. I just went through a terrible breakup and I come back to this video whenever I need to feel better
The story she tells is quite dark if you think about it. she asks him why he's so afraid. right after she says " you hide in your hole" meaning he is buried. Sinister to say the least. It amazing that the content of the song is dark, but the way she sings is what draws me in.
