This gave me goosbumps the first time I heard it. Then I replayed it because I wanted it stuck in my head for a while. The contrast of the sadness in her voice and face, with the happiness of the lyrics works so well.
@@michaelmorneault6543 that's why this is so touching. She's not happy. She is a little girl who is supposed to marry a disgusting old man. Marriage should be a happy time, but it isn't for a child being forced into marriage with a pedophile because of "religion"
A dying man riddled with age and decrepitude. A young woman in the fullest blossom of youth. Was there ever such a glaring contrast? Wonderful,simply wonderful
@Melkefin Not to mention the medium shots of Heather and Sarah: both mortified by Rhonda but for different reasons. The sheer menace of Heather's being outed is brilliantly executed drama.
No matter what age couple it was written for originally, obviously this is meant to be ironic in her case, and the situations of the other wives...very powerful, especially if you have seen all the episodes leading up to this one! LOVE the show...
oh my god they did this so perfectly like the catharsis I felt with Roman so close to death and having to watch Rhonda sing that she's so fucking happy god what a great show
So crazy that I'm here 11 years after I first heard this. I was married at 18 in slc when it watched this. I don't know why I just felt compelled to share. I really loved this show. I'll have to watch it again.
YES , Rest In Peace HARRY DEAN STANTON 😞🙏 , a wonderful actor.👍 I also loved watching you first in "Escape From New York " 😊 You will be MISSED , Sincerely Andrea 😎
Daveigh turns 18 y.o. 7/24/08. Happy Birthday! Found out after I searched Briana Evigan on IMDB after seeing her on 'Fear Itself' the other night. Daveigh & Briana are both in S. Darko (post-production), a sequel to Donny Darko, one of my all time favorites. Daveigh is reprising her role as Samantha Darko, Donny's littlest sister. It takes place about 6 years after the events of the original movie. No word if the Bunny will return but strange visions haunt Ms. Darko. Both girls are beautiful!!!
Brilliant scene from an amazing series. I got sucked into watching Big Love on demand. This scene is brilliant and the song is not just survival, it is a revelation to Sarah and her friend that this little girl who acted so innocent is really a lot more sophisticated and manipulative than they had bargained for. She has even bested Roman. And it's surreal! There's a strong David Lynch connection here I think. Stanton, Dern (Laura Dern's father) and Bills mother was in Twin Peaks.
Love this video. Love Daveigh's voice! And I just realized that one of the girls in the video was a doctor on Greys anatomy! Who just got killed off :(
Awesomely appropriate for the scene at the time. You really had to build up to it from her storyline in the series to truly appreciate how and why she got to where she is here, and it's the only way to get close to the spine-tingly type feeling induced by her character and the reactions/situations of the other two girls in this scene - and Roman's sitch too, of course. One of the most memorable endings for any series episode I reckon.
she has alot of soul! She lives under such rigid control singing is the only outlet for her. She sings two more soings on the show "A Train they Call the City of New Orleans" whilst she is disowned alone and hotchhiking then she sings "Ill be There" when she was stripping. I think she shouldve been Bennys second wife he wanted to save her and it was compelling as hell.
@Melkefin I think the selection of that song was just beyond brilliant. The song is BLATANTLY inappropriate for a child to sing, since its lyrics are about married life. Here's this girl who has been conditioned to believe she understands such things. And she sings the song as if she does! But of course, she doesn't. She can't. She's a child. The duality of the inappropriateness of the song and her lifestyle is perfectly, yet subtly executed here.
this song amazed me when I heard it during the show... just looked it up today and listened to it a bunch of times... wish it was a single .. anyway, I think your commentary nailed it. The dissenters on this post have neither insight or experience..... rest assured, you do. Exactly how I felt. Brilliant pick and brilliant execution!!!
I've been dying to find this song by Daveigh Chase ever since this episode aired. I think she's an amazing singer and it saddens me that I've really not seen her in anything since.
Daveigh Chase is beautiful but I'm afraid to google pictures of her because her appearance as Samara in The Ring still scares the living shit out of me :(
Holy crap! I am watching Big love rn and just heard her sing this song. I was already impressed by her voice but wow. Just wow. This actress is fantastic in that she convinces you too truly despise her character but every time i hear her sing I'm so impressed! Seriously talented young woman
This is by far the greatest version on this song I have ever heard. I love the key. She has a deep voice for a white girl. And the cynicism that weaves through it is astounding.
Jack, you are truly nuts.She was the voice actress for Lilo in Lilo aand Stitch. Stop lying and defaming the character of a person you know nothing about.
When I watched it before . I didn’t get all the symbolism in this one scene…. So deep…when you realize how unhappy theses girls were. And are in real life. It’s real… it make my cry…
basically there are two types of mormons. There are LDS and FLDS which are the fundamentalist mormons who practice polygamy. The main principle that sets the mormon religion apart from other christian denominations is their belief in the prophet joseph Smith who was said to be around during the colonial era
she says that it is because she was being forced to marry roman. i think it's because she's spent so much time being pushed around by her parents that's shes ashing out and trying to run her own life
yea shes pretty alrite and can sin but do you know what she did before she started singing that song i think thats why that entire scean is so damn scarey when she is singing
What you all dont know is this girl is troubled in real life too, she was doing drugs w . A male friend and he was overdosing & she threw his body out at a entrance of a hospital and took off, the guy later died of heroin overdose, she had warrants out for her arrest and was arrested but cuz of celebrity status she wasnt charged for any type of offence for throwing a body out and running, esp. Cuz he died but she wasnt charged, if that was me or you we would certainly be in jail for at least some time...!!!! Celebs get away with anything & that is bullshit, they are no different than all of us, their human ,nothing more or less, they shouldn't be exempt for criminal offenses...!!!!!
We know this. Pretty sure she’s charged with other things such as drugs and joyriding but at least with this one is she attempted to save a life, though pussied out.
Ok first of all she didn’t THROW his body dude. You need to re read whatever article you read Also it’s not like that guy was her family or anything but since she WAS with him, Id say it was definitely her responsibility to get him help. We don’t know all the details of how that situation started. She still tried to do the right thing. She’s not responsible for his overdose. Just chickened out. But hey we all do it. I’m sure she learned a lesson.
hi, never saw this show but know the premise and a couple things about it. i can surmise quite a bit from the scenes shown and her own acting and delivery, but can someone provide me a bit more context for why it's ironic for her specifically?
This moment is poignant because the Rhonda realized moments before that her foster parents were throwing her out after Heather let her mother know what she was doing.
Well maybe coz you feel bad for Roman like I do! Who would've thought I'll feel sorry for him?!! I like him better than Alby!! Anyhow... Rhonda is soo mean sometimes that she deserves to go back to the compound!! And then she'll count her blessings!!
yeah her character steals the character sarah's ipod in the first season and she is set to marry the character who is roman grant even though she is 15 when the engagment occurs
She's not MArried to Roman.... she was about to when she escaped the poligamy ranch... I think the song is about how happy she feels now that she left the compound
What makes you think the song is obviously about a mature, married, adult relationship? I happen to know many people who started dating in high school and even middle school who are now 20+ years married and some of the happiest people I have ever met. Everybody has their experiences but to say that someone has to meet your standards of an adult to be in a happy relationship is extremely close-minded. Believe it or not, young adults are capable of this.
I never said a child is "incapable of feeling love and happiness", but the song is obviously about a mature, married, adult relationship which I would certainly argue a 13 year old (or however old her character is supposed to be) would not be able to understand...I certainly wasn't trying to insult children.
I think even people who met and started dating in high school or middle school would probably tell you their relationship is more complete and sophisticated now, as adults, than it was when they were kids. And in any event, in this context of the show, this is a child being married off to a senior citizen, not a schoolmate. I don't think Rhonda is supposed to love and be happy with this demented old cult leader, so I totally stand by my interpretation of this song being used for ironic purposes.
her voice has a straight shot through my ear and into my spine, I don't think if could get enough- so effin good.
She sounds like lost childhood and sadness
this is the absolute best version of the song
what a voice
I agree
I’m the old man groaning at lost youth. It’s the best version
This gave me goosbumps the first time I heard it. Then I replayed it because I wanted it stuck in my head for a while. The contrast of the sadness in her voice and face, with the happiness of the lyrics works so well.
One of the most poignant moments in television history. I wish this recording were available for purchase. Ms. Chase was scary good in this role.
adscribe exactly. She has a beautiful voice. I’ve never heard this song but loved it the first time I heard her sing it
Acknowledged her voice is beautiful but without a smile & a sunny disposition it's missing something...
@@michaelmorneault6543 that's why this is so touching. She's not happy. She is a little girl who is supposed to marry a disgusting old man. Marriage should be a happy time, but it isn't for a child being forced into marriage with a pedophile because of "religion"
You kind of want to choke her but then you hear her sing and she’s a lot more likeable.
So true. I hope Daveigh is doing well now. She has had some drug problems and ended up arrested a few years ago as a result.
Gorgeous voice!
nice voice... beautiful voice...
I think Daveigh Chase was great as Rhonda in Big Love. She was so funny I remember her one line about having "24 dollars in food stamps".
lmao
elastic_luv that was hilarious
I just listened to the Donna Fargo original and Daveigh Chase takes the cake.
100%
A dying man riddled with age and decrepitude. A young woman in the fullest blossom of youth. Was there ever such a glaring contrast? Wonderful,simply wonderful
Rest in peace Harry Dean Stanton. I loved you as Roman Grant.
She has a very good voice.
literally so obsessed with this. Just finished the show and now i'm so sad =(
Love it!

Finding out that she was the little girl from "The Ring" brought me here.
Love Ms. Chase’s delivery❤😭

Yesss
My thoughts exactly
Daveigh sings it big. Love it.
Thanks for this, and for the mp3! I think this is so gorgeous, can't stop listening.
Rhonda was deceptive...but she had a lot of gumption and exerted all her will to escape the compound.
She was a little girl with no one to take care of her. I think she did what she thought she had to do. so sad!
@@katcarothers agree

Loving Rhonda Volmer...
this song is so beautiful! its quite old though used to be san by donna fargo in the 70s
She is Beautiful and very good in singing

it was refering to the character she plays not the actress, in one episode she does steal an ipod and she is a child bride
Love this video. Love Daveigh's voice! And I just realized that one of the girls in the video was a doctor on Greys anatomy! Who just got killed off :(
Damn what a voice!!!!
i'm flipping obsessed with Big Love. This was a great episode, btw.
110 she kicks but with singin i think got a killer voice! this crazy i keep watching this video every other day perhaps i need doctor phil??!!!
wow. this girl scared the shit out of me in the ring movie..
I absolutely love this version. What a voice. And it was such a sad and powerful song in Big Love.
Beautiful rendition. It's especially chilling when you watch her singing and realize she probably doesn't believe a single word she's singing.
What a beautiful voice !
Awesomely appropriate for the scene at the time. You really had to build up to it from her storyline in the series to truly appreciate how and why she got to where she is here, and it's the only way to get close to the spine-tingly type feeling induced by her character and the reactions/situations of the other two girls in this scene - and Roman's sitch too, of course.

I think she shouldve been Bennys second wife he wanted to save her and it was compelling as hell.
And she was the voice of Lilo in 'Lilo and Stitch.'
Thats straight out beautiful voice. She can really sing. All natural. No electrions. just a simple panio. Alot of singers need to be like this.
Wow, she is so talented.
@Melkefin

Well she’s like 13, 14. Not CHILD. But Not an adult either
this song amazed me when I heard it during the show... just looked it up today and listened to it a bunch of times... wish it was a single .. anyway, I think your commentary nailed it. The dissenters on this post have neither insight or experience..... rest assured, you do. Exactly how I felt. Brilliant pick and brilliant execution!!!
the piano playing... the singing... all perfect !
Great performance; a fine singer and actress. Thanks for this.
Sing it girl!
So true, it sounds much better than the origional. She should cut her own record to promote the show.
I've been dying to find this song by Daveigh Chase ever since this episode aired. I think she's an amazing singer and it saddens me that I've really not seen her in anything since.
this was the girl who was Samara in the movie THE RING......scary.......
literally showstopping. wow.
She was so good on this show.
Daveigh Chase is beautiful but I'm afraid to google pictures of her because her appearance as Samara in The Ring still scares the living shit out of me :(
😂😂😂
beautiful voice.
This version is PURE! Just a piano and her voice.....No bunch of back up singers to dilute it!
this is incredible. they did this scene perfect.
wow, she has such talent and a wonderful voice.
Holy crap! I am watching Big love rn and just heard her sing this song.
I was already impressed by her voice but wow. Just wow.
This actress is fantastic in that she convinces you too truly despise her character but every time i hear her sing I'm so impressed!
Seriously talented young woman
I haven't actually heard the original, but I feel like I like this version better regardless :)
She's got a powerful voice. So talented
Everytime I hear her sing this song I get chills.. AMAZING! I wish she would record it .. I would play it at My wedding.
I’m watching this in 2022
This is by far the greatest version on this song I have ever heard. I love the key. She has a deep voice for a white girl. And the cynicism that weaves through it is astounding.
LOVE this song! Awesome version.
+era setence;
Sell your soul to evil.
Jack, you are truly nuts.She was the voice actress for Lilo in Lilo aand Stitch. Stop lying and defaming the character of a person you know nothing about.
What a spectacular voice she has!
When I watched it before . I didn’t get all the symbolism in this one scene…. So deep…when you realize how unhappy theses girls were. And are in real life. It’s real… it make my cry…
I would "love waking up next to her" a lot more than I would love waking up next to Donna Fargo.
The also did the voice from Lilo from Lilo and Stitch in 2002, evidently.
I ALWAYS LOVED THE WAY DAVEIGH CHASE SANG THIS., SUCH A SWEET CLASSIC... SHE PLAYED IN BIG LOVE, ALSO AN EXCELLENT SERIES....
basically there are two types of mormons. There are LDS and FLDS which are the fundamentalist mormons who practice polygamy. The main principle that sets the mormon religion apart from other christian denominations is their belief in the prophet joseph Smith who was said to be around during the colonial era
I spent some minutes searching the episode. Season 2 Episode 10.
She has an amazing voice..and a great actress to stir up all of these comments
she says that it is because she was being forced to marry roman. i think it's because she's spent so much time being pushed around by her parents that's shes ashing out and trying to run her own life
yea shes pretty alrite and can sin but do you know what she did before she started singing that song i think thats why that entire scean is so damn scarey when she is singing
Samara!
Love her!
Yeah I know I've seen The Ring many times but she is still one of my favorite actress
She was Lilo
thats the point I think. Her character is really manipulating, but also shes lost in whats happening around her.
Смотрел я сериал,из за неё,не знаю,вроде она мне нравилась,образ,внешне неплохая девушка
she dresses so old because she was a raised on a compound and all the people there dress that waay
I love this scene so much!
I did know that ms chase can sing but i wish to see her on the love on hbo
What you all dont know is this girl is troubled in real life too, she was doing drugs w .

She voiced the main character in Spirited Away.
AWESOME!
This moment is poignant because the Rhonda realized moments before that her foster parents were throwing her out after Heather let her mother know what she was doing.
Love it!
Jesus is Lord hallelujah worship him hallelujah
Well maybe coz you feel bad for Roman like I do! Who would've thought I'll feel sorry for him?!! I like him better than Alby!!

yeah her character steals the character sarah's ipod in the first season and she is set to marry the character who is roman grant even though she is 15 when the engagment occurs
She is singing the crap out of this song
i love villans always my favorite she reminds me of king geoffry from game of thrones! good work lady
She's not MArried to Roman.... she was about to when she escaped the poligamy ranch...
I think the song is about how happy she feels now that she left the compound
