  • This is for Paris, and Beirut, and Kenya, and Charleston, and so many others; for countless innocent people devastated by terrorism- which is just a word for organized hatred and inhumanity. We have to keep seeing the world in shades of rose- we have to keep hoping for peace and working for change and believing that with our art, our love, our knowledge, and most of all, our empathy and understanding for our fellow human beings, we can make a difference.

    If music is meant to touch emotion, certainly this performance does. What beauty.

    Her versatility is remarkable, and to each genre, instrument or setting, she brings artistry and something ... what? Sensitivity? Presence? Whatever it is, she has it, and she brings us with her.

    I am French and in all subjectivity, I consider this to be the best version just behind the original one by Édith.
    Your voice is a genuine treasure, I love how you sing everything sooo naturally, without any cheap artificial effects !
    By the way, your French pronunciation is impressively good !

    She sounds almost exactly like my late mother when she used to sing this. I almost want to cry... but I'm half French so extreme beauty can make me weep anyways. 😢

    I listen to this once or twice a month, and make my kids listen. When we do, we know there is still beauty--and hope--in the world.

    Rhiannon is such a treasure for North Carolina, the South, America, and the world. Love seeing where she's going nowadays and then still being able to go back and watch the early CCD videos. She's a great musical artist and performer, but she's like a history teacher too and someone who really digs into the roots of roots music and the cultural influences that came together in America. She's the kind of person you would love to have a conversation with about the past and its role in the present and the issues that we face. Hope she runs for president one day!

    Il est toujours audacieux d'interpréter un chanson aussi connue dans une langue étrangère, mais avec une voix riche comme celle de Rhiannon le résultat est impressionnant, même plutôt touchant. Je suis d'ailleurs très heureux d'avoir découvert cette voix exceptionnelle en 2015.

    Having grown up listening to Edith Piaf and other powerful women, I am moved deeply by this performance and by the sentiment above regarding how knowledge, art and love can make a difference against hatred and inhumanity. This song brings peace. Thank you, Rhiannon.

    Crazy, two months ago I was totally ignorant of your existence. I have no idea if it was serendipity or if it was utter lack of attention but now I routinely use your voice to lift my spirits on a regular basis. With the sheer volume of your creative input I will always have fresh mood elevating music. Never stop what you are doing.

    These traditions are who we are. To abandon them is the most disgusting thing we can
    REMEMBER WHO WE ARE: THIS IS OUR COUNTRY. Our forefathers gave away more: Than what this present day misdone cake of hypocrisy came here for.
