I miss you so much, Mama. It’s been 5 months since I last heard your voice but I hear it in my head every day. You are my heart and my soul and I will miss you for the rest of my life.
I’ve loved this song since I was 16. and I’m now a Grandad. Judee Sill was a unique musical talent and this an incredible version 💞Thank you so much for the care and attention and love you put into this performance Susanne Sandler….xxx
This song blows the Mount Rushmore of songs away-Hey Jude- Judees’s heart is deep inside every precious one of her songs she is the Emily Dickensen of popular songs.
I've just recently discovered judee sill and its so amazing and heartwarming to go through the internet and see the different contemporary artists i have known for years do covers or even just talk about how her music inspires them. Its like following a subtle golden thread that ties together artists i would otherwise find no other connection between.
There are a few good cover of this song, but i have to agree with you. This is amazing! The Feeling, temper and soothing are all in the right places in this cover. If you ask any musicians, this song is quite complex to get right in a good fashion. its a complex song. Sundfør here is no stranger to perform daring songs. She did Scott Walker at the Prom, and she killed it! And there are very very few whom have the guts cover Scott's material.
Excellent Susanne. Absolutely excellent. Keeping an old & for some people obscure song alive & well. You do Judee Sill's song justice. In a fair world, this song would be a standard throughout the world. There are many lesser songs that are -- but this song is marvelous. Your version is superb.
I really wish Judee Sill could hear this version. So beautiful. One of the true tragic figures of music who never truly got her due (particularly in her lifetime). And I love Susanne Sundfor too so I knew I would like this. And I should have known she is a Judee Sill fan. Because thinking back on the song “ Memorial” that reminds me so much of a song Judee could have written.
Thank you Susanne, for taking up one of the most beautiful singer/songwriters the world has known. And a wonderful person who deserved so much more....

I just watched Judee Sill singing this song. Susanne has the ability to harness the song's essence enhancing its beauty.
Winter Bird maybe you know what's happening with Susanne Sundfør? From October 31 there is no information about concerts, no posts on FB, Instagram, etc.
Unfortunately I haven't seen any updates from her either since the release of her Bobbie Gentry cover back in January: ruclips.net/video/fXbGxxIsa5k/видео.html Well, Röyksopp also released a track featuring her vocals in April, but it's an oldie recorded in 2014. Has been available through unofficial means for a while, so not really newsworthy despite the recent official release: ruclips.net/video/MOMksSfRb9w/видео.html She's always been a media-shy artist, but it's still unlike her to disappear for so many months without a word. She's usually booked for a bunch of festivals around this time of the year, so it's a bit unexpected that not a single date has been announced yet. With seemingly no new album to promote in the near future it's understandable if she decides to drop festivals and promo tours altogether this year though. It proved difficult for her to make MFPIT work in front of the festival crowds last year. She didn't seem to enjoy "forcing" herself to play so many older songs to please the crowds, so I don't see her wanting to repeat that experience. It was a big contrast to her concert hall shows which were built entirely around MFPIT, with no songs from other albums on her setlist. Hopefully she's doing well and has simply been busy producing and searching for inspiration for new music. She said she was "off to new adventures" at the end of the MFPIT tour, so she might not plan on returning to touring until her next album is finished. Only time will tell. *_Edit on June 4, 2019:_* It has come to my attention that she's featured on Morten Myklebust's new song 'Bad Timing' which is out on June 7, 2019. You may already be familiar with 'Away', the duet they did together back in 2012, if not I highly recommend to check it out: ruclips.net/video/36QgURo2Qhk/видео.html
@@winter_bird thank you for such a comprehensive answer. I'm been following Susanne for only about a year and I'm very impressed with her talent and wide musical sensitivity. I wish Susanne not be under any pressure from the music market, but I would like her to show at times what is playing in her soul.
@@KazimierzBakaj Hello! Since you seem so well informed and since I'm not the only one worrying lol I'm asking two things: have you heard of her at all during lockdown? And what happened with the song "sleepwalking" that she released live in 2018 at oslo opera house? It came out of nowhere and remained there.. ! Not linked with any ep or album, she never commented on it, just sang it and dropped the mic. ^^ Yeah sometimes we would like to have a bit more news about her, watch interviews that are a little more explicit. Actually, I mostly wonder if she is ok and hope she is... even though I know she probably is of a lunar and melancholic temperament..
@@Untefelehrr I am pleased that you asked me. Unfortunately, I don't know what effect the lockdown has on Mrs. Susanne. Lack of information is usually good information. I hope she enjoys a beautiful spring and spends some time in his studio sipping coffee and composing . I don't know what are the plans for 'Sleepwalking'. Maybe when all the turmoil in the world is over, she will sing this beautiful song at a concert with a piano accompaniment. I also sometimes want Mrs Susanne to give signs of life more often. I also want her to be able to indulge freely in her compositions without any pressure. She is probably a very sensitive person with great imagination. For an artist like her, sometimes there is also a heavy burden. He has been doing great so far and uses his talent nobly. ruclips.net/video/7uHbyqaucas/видео.html
Andrea Williams I think Sleepwalking is going to be in her next album. She always sings a few songs long before their actual release. For instance, she sang The Sound of War at Spellmann in 2016 ( if I rememberers correctly), and she released Reincarnation late in 2016. So I’m guessing she could probably drop her next album by the end of the year if everything goes well.
Lyrics:
Love rising from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down, just to show me
How to give my heart away
Once a crystal choir
Appeared while I was sleeping
And called my name
And when they came down nearer
Saying, "Dying is done"
And a new song was sung
Until somewhere we breathed as one
And still I hear they whisper
Stars bursting in the sky
Hear the sad nova's dying cry
Shimmering memory, come and hold me
While you show me how to fly
Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down, just to show me
How to give my heart away
Lately sparkling hosts
Come fill my dreams, descending
On fiery beams
I've seen 'em come down clear
Where our poor bodies lay
Soothe us gently and say
"Gonna wipe all your tears away"
And still I hear they whisper
Love, rising from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Speechless......
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thank you Judee Sill.
I miss you so much, Mama. It’s been 5 months since I last heard your voice but I hear it in my head every day. You are my heart and my soul and I will miss you for the rest of my life.
Great cover of a great song by a wonderful artist by an equally great artist.

Suzanne,
You have a very lovely voice. I really enjoyed listening to you sing.
This song blows the Mount Rushmore of songs away-Hey Jude- Judees’s heart is deep inside every precious one of her songs she is the Emily Dickensen of popular songs.
Can't get enough of Susanne's singing
I'm so glad people are covering Judee Sill, keeping her music alive. Especially my favorite, this song. Wonderful version.
Beautiful ❤
I've just recently discovered judee sill and its so amazing and heartwarming to go through the internet and see the different contemporary artists i have known for years do covers or even just talk about how her music inspires them. Its like following a subtle golden thread that ties together artists i would otherwise find no other connection between.
Oh, had I a golden thread...'
Glad somebody has the good taste to cover Judee Sill.
Possibly the finest cover version I've ever heard of anything by anyone.
There are a few good cover of this song, but i have to agree with you. This is amazing!
The Feeling, temper and soothing are all in the right places in this cover.
If you ask any musicians, this song is quite complex to get right in a good fashion.
its a complex song.
Sundfør here is no stranger to perform daring songs.
She did Scott Walker at the Prom, and she killed it!
And there are very very few whom have the guts cover Scott's material.
Excellent Susanne. Absolutely excellent.
Keeping an old & for some people obscure song alive & well. You do Judee Sill's song justice. In a fair world, this song would be a standard throughout the world. There are many lesser songs that are -- but this song is marvelous. Your version is superb.
I’m crying. I loved this Song by judee and now i love this wonderful version! Thanx !
One of the amazing women on the planet.
I really wish Judee Sill could hear this version. So beautiful. One of the true tragic figures of music who never truly got her due (particularly in her lifetime).

Absolutely stunning and incredibly beautiful version of Judee’s song. The best I’ve heard so far.
You should definitely do more Judee, Susanne
Judee Sill would have loved to hear this.
There's no need to miss with something perfect, lady.
I just cant find my favourite... Everything is wonderful!
Perfection. Sometimes I come back to listen again this version: is amazing
Beautiful singing!
Such a beautiful sound.
Bravo!
Je t'adore Suzanne
One hell of a rendition of a great song.
A beautiful version. X
A rendition equal to Judee Sill's with it's own unique energy. Beautiful.
Wow...you got Judee Sill giving the ROCK ON sign from her grave!!! 🤘
Beautiful!!
Lovley.
Simplesmente perfeito!!!
FYI: this is a 4th higher than the original, from C up to F.

Ну как можно ТАК петь?!!!
Кнопа
sigh...
Wonderful version but not quite equal to the original
Nope. Technically very good. Not feeling the emotional connection of the original.
