    A few days ago, my grandma and I listened to this song, and she said it helped her calm down because she has heart problems. Today I listen to this cover again, and it doesn't feel the same as when she was beside me. I hope you are happy somewhere, Lola.

    This made me cry. It reminded me of the first time I arrived here in the US many many moons ago. This was playing on the car radio on my way to my school dorm. I never thought that you could play this so beautifully on the cello. Your music touches old hearts!

    It's now been over 4 years since I clicked on this video to listen alongside my grandparents and I can't express how lucky I was to have discovered you so early along your journey. You made lockdown easy to work through and brought a small community of people so close together. I am so happy to see that you've gained the fame you deserved and will shed a tear in joy every time I come back to this cover. Thank you, Laufey! And Happy Birthday!

    It’s beautiful coincidence that cello (the classical instrument) rhymes with the Latin word cielo (sky, heaven). There is something celestial in her musical style and artistry. It’s fascinating and enchanting.

    Your voice and music is a home for me. My late mom would hum or sing your choices of songs. You make me cry in nostalgia and love and warmth and homesickness.

    I love her use of the cello in her songs. It's one of my favourite instruments, but it always seems to be limited to "classical" music.

    I love that you shake your head just a bit when your singing vibrato. I do so many head movements and weird things like that when I sing to make my voice sound better and it gives me confidence to see someone else do it

    The cello sent me to tears. I quit a few months ago after playing for 3-4ish years during middle school and junior high and took me back to the chills I got hearing the instrument for the first time. My brother is going to play now and it’s going to be so hard. This makes me miss it

    Moon river, wider than a mile
    I'm crossing you in style some day
    Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
    Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
    Two drifters, off to see the world
    There's such a lot of world to see
    We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
    My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
    Two drifters, off to see the world
    There's such a lot of world to see
    We're after that same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
    My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me

    A dream maker (maker)
    My heart (you heart) breaker
    Wherever you're goin'
    I'm goin' that way (the same, the same)
    Two drifters off to see the world
    There's such a crazy world to see
    We're all chasin' after all the same
    Chasing after our ends
    Moon river, wider than a mile
    Crossin' in style someday
    My dream maker, heartbreaker
    Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' the same
    Two drifters off to see the world
    It's such a crazy world you'll see (what I see, who I become)
    (What I see, who I become)
    We're all chasin' after our ends
    Chasin' after our ends
    Life's just around the bend, my friend
    Moon river and me
