Sissel - If You Go Away - The song is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song, "Ne me quitte pas", with English lyrics by Rod McKuen. I have seen a video of Brel performing it, and his emotions are so intense that he is covered with sweat. His performance is rather "dark", and it is mentioned that the song is in the spirit of him debasing himself to the woman he loves, telling her, "I will do ANYTHING' if you stay - PLEASE STAY" !! Sissel sings the English lyrics with a much more upbeat and hopeful rendering. Both the singing and the video itself are all of the testimonial that is needed to attest to the fact that Sissel - like a fine wine, brandy or Champaign - becomes mellower, more precious and more refined as she matures. This ENTIRE "Reflections Series" is a fine tribute to her musical genius !! 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

My dear Sissel, I have read all of these comments and fear I cannot give you any original thought. These, your fans, have truly expressed my surprise and my Joy at having found you. Your voice, your choice of songs, your unique beauty Is a treasure to each of us. I don’t know why I am so late to the ball. How have I not heard of Sissel until now? I can just relish the Sight and sounds of this magical vocalist. When I was a child, over eighty years ago, I was blessed with a soprano voice with a measure of clarity. By no means in the category and of the quality as Sissel. But I found happiness and fun in singing for myself and occasionally, for others.. Due to the circumstances of my life I came to a place where I couldn’t sing for others or myself any more, My life was so different because of the lack of music in it. I began my search for the most beautiful voice I could find. I was looking for purity and clarity in this voice. For the learned Performance abilities so many lack. I thought I had found those qualities in a couple of popular singers. However, I was wrong. In fact, I have just now found the qualities I searched for upon hearing the Fabulous Sissel. and her amazing beauty..I feel the same sense of excitement and anticipation I have felt at discovering a brand new book by a favorite author. I have much to discover and Much to enjoy now that I see how prolific you have been. Thank you, my dear New “friend” for sharing your love of music, your uniqueness and your total Beauty with all of us who love you. ❤️

What a life and career. Pure excellence. You are the very best of womanhood. Admiring you for years now. There is just a maturity of your soul that is inspiring

Sissel can interpret a song perfectly with such a beautiful facial expression and a stunning voice❤

So refreshing, a super pretty EUROPEAN lady singing beautiful music.

I have never cared for singers who had a lot of tremolo in their voice. She however when she sings, is the song. Her movements , facial expression and diction is the music. She is amazing!!!

30 years of singing and still wonderfull. Thank you.

Sissel, may I thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing your beautiful songs and your beautiful presence in this troubled world . . . You bring beauty when and where it is needed . . . Thank You !

Superb, sung with such feeling, it’s mesmerising !

I love the beautiful emotion and heart she puts into her singing. So expressive! Bravo, Sissel!

Absolutely beautiful, the lady, her singing and the song!

Jack Jones is the only other singer that brings, or emotes, the power of these words to life. Wow, what a duet Sissel and Jones would be on this song, and many others. Fascinating.

The songs make me think they will be used in movies. Bet movie producers will start making offers. Truly fantastic. 🌸🌿🌸🥰

This voice heal hearts and souls! I'm greatfull to discover it and be aible to hear it! Thank you

Wonderful, your voice is so emotional and beautiful. Thank you.

Beautiful! The voice with beautiful energy penetrating right to the heart of me, healing my soul.

Beautiful song and a lady singer who is sheer class!

If you asked me to stay, I would never go away. BEAUTIFUL.

Bravo, Sissel! ❤🇦🇺

It's just not fair. She has an incredible voice and is also a 10+.

Sissel, den versjonen er vakkert,... Vakreste ☺️

So deep, so beautiful, so amazing thank you

Wow!! This is so beautiful!!!

Sissel's voice, song and botanical background - BEAUTIFUL!

Sissel still is a beautifull singer with the voice of an angel-Ken

You are beautiful and amazing..... no words could ever explain.

LD Young - Absolutely beautiful, the lady, her singing and the song!

Absolutely beautiful amazing listening watching in lockdown 2020 2021 well done bravo stay strong stay safe everyone stay strong stay safe sending love from UK takecare xxx

Stunning, just stunning. Bravo!

Oh my, so lovely.........perfect, ❤️🌟

I had never heard anyone sing this heart wrenching song as good as Scott Walker - until today that is! Sissel voice tares into you and drags the tears from the listener's eyes. Add to this the superb sax which nearly adds further tears, and then the final angelic voice brings home the despair of the loss of one's love! Wow!!

Over and again, such clarity and quality! Thank You Sissel.

I always loved that song. Now I love it even more.🎶

I love this song! Perfect! Bravo!

Sensational Sissel! Ne me quitte pas! I shall be back for more, before too long!

(Ne me quitte pas 1959) by Jacques Brel, sensational, by far the best version thanks and congratulations Sissel

Sissel refines all these beautiful songs with her music and actorscraft.The videos are fantastic and listening to her english is a real pleasure.My heart jumps always, if she sings in french-Ne me quitte pas, because it sounds very tenderly.

How beautiful Sissel voice sounds and gives this classic breath of life. Brilliant love it xx

Sissel, you can be calm, I will not leave and I will continue to enjoy your videos that I love and this theme is very precious, thanks for such a beautiful Valentine's gift.

Her voice touch the soul gentle...wonderfull🌹

A beautiful singer with a beautiful voice! What else can I say?

I just discovered Sissel 2 hours ago! She is a stunning singer/performer. I don't know why I didn't know of her. Just checked and she fills up an entire page of listings on Spotify! So many decades to catch up with and looking forward to every moment of it. What a wonderful holiday gift she is!

I can't remember the last time I turned my car radio on. My answer for countering the slop and noise passing for today's music -- a handful of CDs in the glove compartment. With QUALITY MUSIC AND GREAT SINGERS!

Great Camera work! Video supplements the story of the song! Kudos to the entire production!

I love how, when you record these lovely old standards, such as this one and Gordon Jenkins' "Goodbye", to name just two, your versions are, at Very least, as beautiful as (and most times more beautiful than) the original or any recorded by any singer since. You really do open your heart when you sing these classics. Thank you, Sissel, for making our world a much more beautiful place. 💕

I' am melting completely away. Perfect done!

I remember the very distinctively voiced Dusty Springfield singing this in the 1960s. This is just as good if different. Dusty always doubted her own voice's qualities but I think Siss doesn't suffer such doubt.

Oh that is a lovely tune having enjoyed it i would never go away

Beautiful song by...Sissel...

I love it

Beautiful!

She is great. Where was she the last 20 years of my life? FG

Sissel tops all the previous artists who have sung this song before

There is nothing this voice won't make great.

Beautifully sung.

French music - very good choise. Beautiful.

I love Sissel singing any song.... I love her even more when she sings "ne me quitte pas", the original title of this song. Ne me quitte pas by Jaques Brel, pure poetry in a song!

Just beautiful!!

Sissel I first heard of you when I heard the songs on your CD " My Heart" and I was blown away by your rendition of "Oblivion", lovely piece of music and the lyrics. I'm glad I found you again on KZfaq, but I am unable to find your CD "My Heart". However I still have the recording I made about almost 20 years ago. Thank you again and good luck.🎉🎉

Ville gjerne hørt Sissel synge denne på fransk!

Her voice literally executes me with hope. I can not feel my sorrow when I hear her.

So amazing Expressions and singing she's got all so kind Lady

A very beautiful video

How is it, I have nothing to give her but she gives me everything? She has to be the most selfless person ever😔

Sissel, eres perfecta. Suave, dulce, tierna, angelical, perfecra.

Богиня!

Whatever it is that makes Sizzle "the most beautiful voice in the world" is not evident in this kind of music. However, when she sings "O holy night", I agree that she absolutely is the best. Overall ... ... it is still a moot question.

👏👏👏

Lovely

💙

After one year or more I have an icredible crush on this woman. I hope to meet her in Norway.

So pretty nice voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you go away... är ett ett utmärkt exempel på aktivitet framför kameran som jag uppskattar Sissel!

Magnificent entertainment on KZfaq for free

Leende gamla tiden ....Onewayticket times.
