Pink is really one of a kind. Her new video is a masterpiece imo.

She’s a peach. Deserves another. Let’s kick it full Liverpool with her singing a song written to her by Paul (primarily, I think) and John.

Here’s another Lana Del Rey. Supremely talented, drop dead gorgeous, and a Top Red. What more do you want?

Anyone mentioned Joanna Newsom? Something of an acquired taste, but her voice has noticably changed from the childish squeak of ‘Milk Eyed Meander’ to something much more mellow and classically beautiful. This is one of my favourite songs. This is the best live version I can find.

And unless I’ve missed it in the thread I haven’t yet seen the true original, and for my money, the best woman, Kate Bush. She is mad as a brush, and she doesn’t give a fuck what you think.

I can not believe I didn’t post anything by Kate Bush well spotted @Mascott (I"m not going to say anything about that Kana del Rey song title :smiley:)

I’ll leave you with another that I think has been missed and I haven’t any idea why.

New discovery, for me anyway. Her two albums are not new, though. Two albums. Crybaby and K thru 12. She’s not underage, but for some reason I feel a little guilty listening and liking her songs. Listen to her voice and see if you don’t get what I mean.

Somehow I missed your post and suggestion of this amazing singer/songwriter. Man, do I love this song. Haunting.

I don’t know if this has already been posted, but it’s a wonderful song by a fantastic singer and a tragic story:

A new favourite of mine.

Lyrics (translation):

When the white wind blows past your cheeks
A person who resembles the rising season
The street where the scattered leaves pile up
The one person who embraced my fingertips

In my heart that was exceptionally cold
The days that gave me moderate warmth
It becomes the step
that I endured all this time
I had the courage to live

To love one person
and keep that heart
Leaning on time to soothe me
A name that came to mind
when I suddenly woke up alone
Days called you,
where longing emptily wraps around me

The song I heard passing by remains in my ear
I must have called you for such a long time
If I turn my head, will you still look at me?
My breathless tears were painful

To love one person
and keep that heart
Leaning on time to soothe me
A name that came to mind
when I suddenly woke up alone
Days called you,
where longing emptily wraps around me

As the seasons go on,
it gets brighter
in memory

The one person who stayed in my heart
for a long time
I still love you even though it’s still hard
If you think of me,
find me here
As always, smile
and hold my hand
