Gah,this is magical.her wrists and hands so pure. Her voice then and now,is still wondering and whimsical. But voice nodules had to constrict her somewhat. Yet she pushes on to notes that I cannot strain.
2:25 oh my god is she crying? her eyes look glassy and she sort of struggles vocally a bit there. I could just be projecting though because I do cry with this song.
Aum Occbei I think she is. Given the subject matter and it being 2004, this must be fresh. I can't even imagine performing that. Hearing it without the Van Dyke Park compositions is so surreal, but it shows just how fast her songwriting style shifted. Grief does that.
