Camille O'Sullivan - The Ship Song 

Best cover I ever heard.

What a lovely interpretation of Nick's brilliant song. Lovely.

Any time I go to a Camille gig I always bring someone who's never seen her before. To be honest at this point I watch them as much as I watch her, just to try to recapture a bit of how I felt that first time I ever saw her live. Haunting, hilarious, and an absolute master of her craft.

Possibly the most emotionally charged song I've ever heard. I've long appreciated Camille's work, but this is a whole new level. Fantastic.

I'd never heard of Camille until last Friday when I saw her at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. But my word she has had an impact. So much so that I went back to see her again last night, and will probably go and see her several more times before I leave Edinburgh! What talent. And what a genuine lass as well.

Never tire listening to Camille singing this song. beautiful woman beautiful song

The minimalism of this cover and video are perfect for the mood. Very beautiful version. I like the build up too.

just found her yesterday on edinburgh fringe how did i go so long without her lol lush

Nick Cave has written some 'more than' beautiful songs... I love his own rendition of this song, but also this of Camille's. So nice to see it is still available here to enjoy.

i think alot of us irish have to thank the panel for this video and the rest!

That actually made me cry

Beautiful tone to her voice magic

I love this. What a fantastic cover by Camille. We saw her perform this at the Edinburgh Fringe 2 weeks ago. Not a dry eye in the house. Thanks Camille for this and a great show.

Beautiful...

Remains one of my favourite singers - should be lauded more then she is. Thank you Camille.

words can not describe how amazing this cover is, Camille's voice is so powerful and evocative.

i had to come back and listen again. i think i just fell in love a little bit..

Wonderful. Never get tired of this beautiful rendition of a great song. Camille rocks.

WOW!!! Epic! Nick would approve big time.

I wish there was a "love" button, not simply "like"!! We saw Camille at the sydney opera house.... If you ever have the chance to see her.. DO IT!! She is beyond amazing, so powerful.

Just stunning !

wonderful arrangement, taken so long to arrive here!

oh my. this version is amazing. what a gift!

Gives me chills, so good

Speechless. This woman's voice, as well as her physical beauty, is art. Truly stunning.

Camille sung this as an encore ar her show in Edinburgh tonight. Grown men cried ! So beautiful !!! Thanks Camille :-)

awch, what a voice she's got, love her music!!

Beautiful!!!!!

She's hypnotic.. awesome voice. great song

Beautiful song sung beautifully by an incredibly talented singer. Thank you for posting it

One of the most romantic songs ever written.

so so incredible beautiful, sung with love and passion, perfect...

absolutely brilliant , saw her twice this year at in edinburgh, she rocks ." camille , hope you remember us , you signed my sons poster "....see you next year ... magnifique !!!!!!!!!

I adore your version of this song, fantastic job

Exquisite version, absolutely charming x

Seen Camille tonight on The Panel, had not heard of her before...WoW!!! What a gorgeous lady and what a gorgeous voice!

This song has deep pathos. Heartache moulded into subliminally beautiful art . Life is not always easy and sometimes we need to succumb to our heart breaks , to indulge our frailties .

A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs.

this is beautiful. she lives the song - not overdone, not underdone

I was taken as a surprise for my birthday, she was in the west end show La Clique london. She did a song in french, it was haunting. talented lady !

Oh my god... this is really quite beautiful. Camille O'Sullivan is an incredibly talented live performer (funny, clever, interactive), but this vid really highlights that awesome singing voice of hers

The most, most, most beautiful version of an incredible song

thank you the panel.

excellent ! What a woman!

she is brilliant

I had to stop listening to this song. I just helplessly cry.

"U just killed me .." Magnifique :)

lovely

Never tire of seeing Camille at Edinburgh festival

Still so stunningly gorgeous since I wrote in this thread 5 or 6 years ago. It was our first dance song for our wedding too in that time. Just ineffably beautiful. Nár lagaí Dia do ghlór, Camille.

I only came across Camille by chance, but I think she's amazing! She has one of the best singing voices I've ever heard.

Camille is the NEW voice of the world...what a moving song from a more moving voice, I've NEVER heard a better version of the ship song than this, even Nick's own!..its ripe fr the love of women! Beautiful, moving, all soul! ...all soul :)

I F@C@ing love this song, her voice drills into my soul.

I just saw her perform at the Spiegeltent tonight. Am utterly captivated. This was the final song she sung - I had tears in my eyes. Exquisite. Enchanting. I never wanted the night to end...

i was amazed by Camille when i saw her in Edinburgh at the fringe festival last week. It was my first time that i heard anything from her, but it won't be the last time. Thank u for u great ART-work

i saw her at the london feis this year! we walked away from THIN LIZZY and heard this crazy woman singing- we walked into her tent and stood at the back just out of pure amazement on how much enthusiasm she had and craziness - we wernt to keen on the song.... but we stayed and im SO GLAD! she sang her next song "hurt" cover and i cried because her passion was just too much! the songs that followed were equally as amazing! BRING ON TOM WAITS AND HER AT THE BARBICAN

I was introduced to her by my singing teacher and I'm in love. She is so cool! Her and Amanda Palmer are my musical idols

WOW!

saw her last night at the fringe festival edinburgh, she was amazing. I am in love with her voice

Simply, profoundly beautiful.

Great song, Camille is also very attractive.

In 2010 I got strained in Tokyo - so I had a lot of time on my hand. It was the first I ran into the vids of Camille. Her stage performance I included in a song called "Seven" (2nd part of the lyrics) to express my admiration. Seven days I was stuck in Tokyo due to an Iceland Volcano. Salmo

Absolutely fantastic. The best cover of Nick Cave's classic I have ever heard. wesaw Camille sing this an an encore at the Edinburgh Fringe this year. Not a dry eye in the house.

This is so deeply and ineffably moving. My now fiancée and I saw Camille and had a chat with her after her concert in the Sugar Club in Dublin in 2004/2005. That night, that venue and Camille have remained close to our hearts ever since. She has such an amazing grace about her presence, a gentleness and an elegance which is captured so magnificently here. This video is a wonderful surprise. Thank you to the person who passed this on to us.

Ohh I saw her in Recklinghausen, Germany on Friday. She's a real ..crazy singer. But so awesome. I loved it, her and the band.

Sweet lord i could fall in love with this woman far too easily

I hope when I perform this song, I can give it close to the justice you have beautifully graced us with here.

Just seen camille in edinburgh. never been to a show before that made me cry laughing one minute then be brought to tears by incredible singing so full of emotion the next. Amazing performance turned me to jelly. Camille you have a fan for life.

I've seen Camille perform this song at the labadoux folk festival @ Ingelmunster Flanders Belgium last night. It really gave me goose bumps. She is such a great performer and she really had the audiance enthralled. Way to to go Camille, burn all those bridge down!!!. Give us more of those of those Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Jacques Brel songs. Check out het performance of Marieke(Jacques Brel) too, just sublime. Love Eddy from Belgium

I also saw camille for the first time at the London Feis, managed to get front row up against the fence, she is amazing, actually makes eye contact with the audience and knows how to work them, I shal definitely go see her again. Nosey

Oh, oh, I'd forgotten this song! And she's so incredible. It is the most amazing cover. 12 dislikes?? What the hell??

this song makes my heart burst out of my chest

Simply beautiful Camille.

Camille, this song is absolutely true and touching and make my heart flutter...

Camille you are in a space all of your own, utterly captivating superbly exciting, reflective beyond measure, vous etes toute simplement sans egal.

Sometimes given what she covers I do believe Camille has stolen my record collection.

what a voice she has..... beautiful song it is ..... I have never heard about her before ...

Camille, Je t'adore!! Everytime I see you perform I CRAVE to sing! You do it the way it was meant to be! Cant wait for Edinburgh....the LA belle Dublin!!! Woo woo Miaow

superb tho! first time i heard Camille

Has haunted me since I heard you sing it. x

Merci to the panel!:)...had heard some of camilles stuff but this is in another league..WOW!

beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.

Happy Birthday, Camille! I love your voice!

That was beautiful.

Just saw her last night at the SEC, supporting Jools Holland ! WOW Fantastic !!!

thats some voice ya got there

wow!!!!! so beautiful and sad i missed her at southbank, sighhhh xx

beautiful version. just beautiful.

Thank the gods for youtube suggestions, or i'd have never found her. I really enjoy this piece, as well as her live performances. She's unique, and wonderful. Plus, we have matching beauty marks. LOL. (mine just won't go away)

Camille, This is so beautiful Thank You.

Seeing Camille tomorrow at the Edinburgh Fringe. Oh I am excited.

Camille is appearing at the Apollo this week up to Saturday 16 January. Catch her. She is brilliant live.

So beautiful. You must try and catch her live if you can.

simply aching, in the best possible way.

I just heard of her about ten minutes ago. This recording is going on my iPod and will probably be played more than Nick Cave's for a while. 5*, favourited and often will return to. Don't even know what to say. Old favourite suddenly seems like a new favourite. Is she famous? Does Nick Cave know her? He must be proud.

beautiful...

wow. astonishing.

Saw her at the Apollo. Amazing energy and talent. I will help her get to US. She will be huge. Already is. She Kills this song and In theses shoes and others. Go to the Apollo fast! Limited engagement.

This is my very favourite song you do, but I love them all. Thank you so much for the concert at MK - it was awesome - and especially for singing this for me. Come back anytime - and make it soon!

This was shared with me, and I am glad for it. I love the lyrics and a strong voice to go with it.
