Lyrics
There was a field in my old town
Where we always played hand in hand
The wind was gently touching the grass
We were so young so fearless
Then I dreamt over and over
Of you holding me tight under the stars
I made a promise to my dear Lord
I will love you forever
Time has passed
So much has changed
But the field remains in my heart
Oh, where are you?
I need to tell you I still love you
So I reach out for you
You fly around me like a butterfly
Your voice still echoes in my heart
You are my true love
There was a field in my old town
Where in spring all flowers blossomed wide
We were chasing butterflies
Hand in hand 'till close of day
Your voice still echoes in my heart

Can you imagine an orchestra, with sound, lighting and camera crews, stage hands, serious producers and directors, all this to film a television special starring a 5th grader? A FIFTH grader? Really?!? Get real!
I can't - or couldn't until I heard THIS singer. Suddenly, it all made perfect sense.

I saw this on youtube at the end of March 2012 and I was amazed. Foster did a fantastic job putting this together with a gifted child who was not quite eleven.

Try Jackie singing Mi Mancherai, thank you.

Two string resonator? Looks like bow between two strings.

The song "Lovers" is from the Japanese martial arts film, House of Flying Daggers. This is one of 15 songs Jackie performed for her Dream With Me in Concert special for PBS Great Performances at age 11, produced and hosted by legendary producer, David Foster (on piano).
Jackie has impeccable control of her voice and a performance range of nearly 3 octaves. She's a natural vocalist who had no voice training, rather some singing lessons for a while until her mother decided that classical training could potentially ruin the rare purity of her voice. So her mother became her coach for the duration of her career as a minor. As a child, she was documented to have a "one-in-a-million pure opera voice" innately, though she never pursued opera, preferring to remain a classical crossover artist.
Thank you for your reaction.
