Vintage Sia, bring her back

Wow, selling albums in coffee shops, they had no idea what was to be 10 years later for her career. I wosh she would do more of this older style though. Pop sells, but her old style touched your soul.

Art on the highest level. She is the greatest contemporary artist in our time....She composed all of these songs, she sang as nobody else, there is deep honesty and high level of concentration behind all of this... So unique in the present, I dont know anybody on this high level now.... Nobody...

I'd say the radio station was lucky to have Sia, not the other way around.

8:03 "This next tune is called 'Breathe Me'" She says it so nonchalantly... If only she knew that the song has such a huge impact on one's life. I absolutely love every, single, simplicity about the song

she can`t sit quietly, like a kid :-D i love her

Love the fact she now owns millions as well as having 6 different houses and she just made a movie 😂 she’s the definition of hardworking success

Such mastery yet has the innocence of a child

This is my favourite Live/studio performance from her. I think these are all the best version of the songs that are covered. I only wish that soon we'll be found and death by chocolate was also on the list. If i had to pick one video to show off her talent, it would be this.

I wonder about the people watching in the control room. Do they appreciate they are watching a future star?

Still listening in 2022

Are really anybody listen to this right now? I am really in love of her. she always takes me to another world

Not only does she have the most beautiful voice she is beautiful herself !

Undeniably one of the most underrated singers of this era.. one of the most naturally talented singers I have ever heard .. absolutely breathtaking

Sia is a beautiful soul with gobs of vocal control

What a beautiful lady, inside and out.

One of the best perfomances i have ever heard. Maybe the best perfomance from Sia. She really shines in this ❤

Hats off to KCRW for bringing us such intimate performances, also not easy to produce live-to-air, what a gift it would be to listen live on terrestrial radio!

So glad I found this passionate stuff in 2022.... I'm so glad she made it big.

She’s beyond beautiful

Still my favourite performance!

Still here listening 2022

I'm furious at myself for not finding this sooner .. what an incredible voice and talent .. she has such an adorable and infectious personality..

So, basically she had no idea that she was soon going to step into international stardom when the album after this. When she would would go incognito and do all those startling music videos.

The very best of SIA - I remember discovering her music back in 2009 with this live and thinking oh my god she is phenomenal why isn't she famous in the USA?

The best rendition of ‘Distractions’ of all time! And I saw her perform it live at the Lady Croissant recording!

The first time I heard Sia sing was her music coming through a coffee shop sound system and it was one of those times when I was completely floored by a voice. No matter how many times I hear her sing, especially these older songs, the emotion just comes welling up in me.

I'm in love! Damnit man! There is only one Sia!!!

This version of Breath Me sends me to Seventh Heaven! 🥰

I love all the vocal fry and tremolo she adds...sounds so beautiful

Breathe me....incredible!

This is my favorite sia performance and I saw her live prior to the wig. She is amazing and it is unfortunate she has had to hide her true personality since then.

This old Sia stuff rocks! Girl can wail!

love her sooooooo freaking much 😍

I found this radio performance the day after I saw herI fell in love with her live performance on David Letterman... It was broken up piece by piece by song, and I loved every minute I spent hypnotized by it. Since she became famous (in the US), I couldn't find it. I'm glad I searched again after almost a decade 💓

The last song is pure musical artistry. By the whole band.

AHEAD OF HER TIME SIA IS A GENIUSSSSS

Sia is very amazing and a special person❤️

I'm so VERY THANKFUL that I could still look this up. I discoveredtgis gem a year before her US debut on Letterman. It was originally all broken up, not complaining

Finest pipes in all the lands

This is the best live performens ever.

I love her bouncy style.

Such an amazing beautiful talent

I found her because of Chandelier. Fan of her new stuff. It's different than everything else. Took me about a day to find her older stuff. She then became my 'celebrity crush' Lolz (But really) Seems like such a fuckin cool person, quirky, bubbly, funny, kind. She seems to be the type of person any of us would want to know. Obviously, intelligent and creative. (She just so happens to be gorgeous too, and that doesn't hurt. Lolz) When she sings, though, it's surreal. I get mesmerized, just IN the music. There are so many levels of emotion, vulnerability, experience, depression, triumph, and strength. God damn. Is it possible to hear her sing Breathe Me and not feel moved? Transcendent? For me, yes. Her voice can take me out of my head, reign in the crazy, lead as a light through darkness, give hope to the forgotten, and give me something to lean on when my legs aren't very sturdy. I like a variety of music. (admittedly Pop not holding a prominent spot among my favorites. Not much appeals to me in the genre. (No content) Then, Sia writes songs, sings with an unearthly ability...... And I become a fan, instantly. Stepped away from Rap for about 20 years, been digging back in, hearing content, a message, positivity, TRUTH. Again, I connect. My main genre is metal. (NuMetal kid. It's what I grew up with) Tool will forever be in my top 5. Heart is amazing. (Ann and Nancy are also top 5, if that wasn't obvious) Chris Stapleton. Alice in Chains. (Slipknot, Mudvayne, SRV, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pantera: to round out a top 10, if anyone gives a shit. Lolz) My point is, She may be a recent find for me, but the way she sings, the voice cracks and 'imperfections' are HER sound, and only give me a deeper appreciation for her talent. Something "raw and real" in her voice, and it beats the shit out of what I thought I knew about everything. I wish we were homies or something. Lolz Very few people in this life are able to captivate, draw upon that depth of emotion, pour in pieces of themselves forged by their journey, 'bare their soul', shape it all with effort and determination, polish it with incredible talent and their love for the craft, only to end up with something profound.... Sia makes it look effortless. She is a walking testament to success after survival, and how we all, though vastly different, are united through music, through love for one another. I'm a forever fan. She is such a fuckin badass. Have a great day people! If possible, try and be good to each other and good to yourselves.

Just been sitting here listening just gets better and better . the more sia content I find the more you feel every expression sent out to us and if you been through a lot of shit your going feel this. I know it sounds wired basically wow amazing 😉

Most people don't even know her older stuff!

One of my favorite playlists. Sia sings from a place I feel I can relate to. Love this

I fell in love to this set, my first time hearing Sia. Ten years later that sensation of tripping over the edge, heading towards something incredible is with me every time I hear her voice. Thank you Sia for being so wonderful. Thank you for being the soundtrack to a decade of loving. Ideal in every way. Thank you for uploading it too :)

How about a hand for that band?

Every second of this video is pure magic. Thank you.

I don’t know any other love songs in reverence of academics 💕

Loved her since 2004. Glad the world loves her now too

imho, this performance should get a cd release.

Such a beautiful soul, her lyrics resonate so much. I hope you bless us with more music dear Sia.

Just absolutely incredible! I'd heard this take of Breathe Me in a separate video. I'm so glad I found the rest of the session. If there was only one artist that I could listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Sia. Her voice touches my soul. I don't know if that was the host or a band member she offered a cuddle to, but I wouldn't have turned that down. Think I needed a couple along the way.

Been listening to Sia as well as Tina Dico....both of Zero 7....crazy talents.

Fuck me I just fell in love that girl can sing Jesus x

This is amazing

Sia this is in 2007 and she is still as good today

Gotta love SIA pure vocals just amazing

2024, I still revisit this video

Tears running from my eyes but tears of love that will keep me from running dry .beautiful 🥰

It's funny how this host says she's the lucky one to be invited to come back after her last visit... I guess he doesn't have a crystal ball to look into the future. *This Is SIA*

soul. this is soul. i've said this before, geez. "... do you need a duttle...?" "This will blow your mind, Brian!" LOL (intro to 'buttons')

One of my favorite live performances. Pure

Brilliant

I just love Sia.... so talented

What happened to the Sia I fell in love with? Yes, bring her back girl.

Sia the best

I wish the musicians that played were credited, the whole performance was sensational :)

I miss old Sia! 🤍✨

I am still in loved with SIA

That was today 15 years ago lol

I am not afraid. I love you Sia!

Amazing voice..And band

That was a good drum break. Love Sia and Beck too.

Sia is really amazing. No singer alive touches her.

I have been coming back to this ever since the original recording. It was deleted at some point but some hero reuploaded

Beautiful

Thank you Sia

Forever my favorite performance ❤️

Oh man I'm in love!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

She is amazing

She’s beautiful inside and out!!! ❤️❤️❤️ when the gates of heaven open, it’s her voice you’ll hear! ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

Strokes of everything from Karen Carpenter and Pink Floyd to Dolly Parton and Billy Joel.. easily one of the best voices in the history of modern popular music - amazing ❤ *Edit:* OHHH NO SHOT! She was the vocalist on those Zero 7 tracks?! I KNEW I recognised that tone! This chick was the sound of my late teens and I didn't even know 😂

She is so chill

Absoluetly amazing. No words like at all

What more can you ask for? Can we go back to 2007?

I'm in love with Sia

Que hermoso es escucharla, su voz cala bien hondo en mi corazón. Te amo Sia❤

@Soltz slow, thank you for putting all this together. I remember watching the radio bits that were on KZfaq, & piece by piece and falling in love with SIA and the instrumentals in the background.... a few weeks later I saw her on David Letterman in 2008. Ever since then, she's had me

La verdadera SIA

❤sia u are so gracious and i can relate❤ love u always ❤

Long live Sia!!!

This is the best of Sia! You are one the best things that ever was in creating music! Love you and your insane humility when you let your voice unleash!

WOW!!!! I’m in love!! 😍😍😍

There's Sia Furler then there's everyone else

The best artist from the last time

J’adore ❤️👍👏🏼
