Good call

But this just saws your soul away, please watch it all the way through

Sounds lush, in an Elizabeth Fraser style…

Such raw, earthy vocals from the girls.
It’s a shame that ‘Loveshack’ grabbed all the airplay.

Till Lindemann continues to impress.
I’m not sure if he’s got the sheer acoustic projection, but he’s got me into opera. Quick, fast, and in a hurry.

Quite the combo.

Seems effortless.
