Thank God for a singer that knows exactly what her voice can do and where it can go. She doesn't act like she's out of breath saying "half words" like so many new ones and doesn't turn 3 syllables into 7. Just a clean pure sound with a simple but very strong delivery

This woman is simply incredible. Restored my faith in modern music.

I love this woman, her voice, her phrasing her emotive performances...brilliant

This song has a huge “sixties feel”. That’s why I like it so much.

Who's listening in 2024?

Yola sounds like a angel singing to your soul

A song with an actual melody. So rare nowadays.

Just moments ago, I was in the midst of multitasking while watching Jimmy Kimmel. The musical guest at the end of the show was Yola singing "Faraway Look". I had never heard this song, nor had I ever heard of her. As the music began, my interest was piqued by the melody. Then as she began to sing, I was immediately pulled into her vocals and performance. The vulnerability of the lyrics and the strength of her voice was a compelling combination that mesmerized me. So much so that I immediately came to KZfaq to find the song and listen again. For me, this was one of those rare instances when you hear a song for the first time and feel transported outside of yourself and your immediate surroundings. It's often difficult to pinpoint why some songs resonate personally and others don't, but I am just delighted to have experienced it tonight. In fact, this is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a comment on KZfaq. And with that said, I am done writing and shall return to replaying this video over and over and over again.

One of the most beautiful songs I‘ve ever heard. And Yolas voice is one of the greatest of all times👑

Good God. Chills. Haven't heard a voice like this since I first heard Dusty Springfield.

One of the finest songs i've ever heard. A modern classic

OMG. She sounds like Dusty Springfiel. What a stunning voice. It gives me chills.

The 60’s are back! super.

Thank God!!! A new artist that has her own sound, yet it's a sound that just sits so well in your ear. I love her voice, I love the production. She's the first real thing since Adele!! LOVE!!!!

She is breathtakingly wonderful

My goodness, what an amazing voice!

Who else is listening in 2024?

I just saw Yola at the Newport Folk Festival. I went in with no expectations, and she blew me away. And this song stood out in a strong set list. This is a beautiful homage to the very best of late '60s pop. Terrific song, fantastic vocal, and what sounds like all real instruments. I feel the hair on my neck standing up.

Now this is the true soul of a sister!!!!!.....sing on girl!!!!

There's something really refreshing about this retro-sounding song. It doesn't sound forcefully retro, if it makes sense. I also love the imagery of the music video following the girl through 1970's and beyond as she grows older. In terms of the musical arrangement, this has a combination of Baroque pop, Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds and of those early 1970s big productions that a Neil Diamond song would have had in 1972, as well as the Wall Of Sound approach. Why I think it sounds so good is because our ears are tired of the same old, the tried and true formula of today's pop music; and this is something different. I really enjoy Yola's unique blend of American Country and "oldies" pop, and her voice is amazing. I recommend listening to other songs as well, to hear what I mean. Some things I noticed about this song, aside from the fact that it was arranged and recorded the old-fashioned way, without modern gimmicks: Bass guitar is played with a pick -- very 1970's Drums have a noticeable delay, which is not something you hear nowadays, also very 1960's--1970's Transistor organ, probably a Vox Continental, or a Hammond with stopped Leslie speaker, the sound the defined the 1960's Prominent french horn. "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys, anybody? Glockenspiel winds, brass, strings, timpani. Lots of different colors. The timpani entrance during the chorus reminded me of "You Got It" by Roy Orbison. Harpsichord -- the main ingredient of a Baroque pop song. Use of unison/octaves during chorus when guitar, strings, organ and brass respond back to the singer with the catchy hook. A chorus of background singers. This reminded me of "The Long And Winding Road" by the Beatles.

Dear Yola: You are pure magic, like this song. xx

Yes, Yola! I want MORE of Your incredible voice, depth, and range!!!

Wow 😮 this gave me chills. Beautiful song and she has an incredible voice!

E' tanto tempo che non mi venivano i brividi nel sentire una canzone. Complimenti.

O My God this has to be THE NEXT JAMES BOND THEME...I AM LOST FOR WORDS!!!!! THE KYRICS ARE

Fantastic!!!! 👏👏👏👏What a voice!❤❤❤❤

When she launches into the chorus it sends shivers up my spine. So powerful.

Nu God, what a voice. Beautiful, more then beautiful. And what a great song.

A breath of fresh air in music. Stunning voice and great songs. A superstar in front of our eyes.

best song I've heard in a long long time, with lyrics that speak the truth about now. What a work of art.

Definite 60’s Dusty sound…. Absolutely love it!

LYRICS You lit the candles on the cake And threw the match down on the floor Wish I knew what you were wishing for Handing out the paper plates To all your friends that you adore Are you haunted and wanting more? That faraway look in your eyes It's getting harder to disguise Nobody moves the way you do Walking 'round the grocery store Only you know what you're looking for And when your working day is through You walk the darkness to your bed To dream the dreams that live inside your head That faraway look in your eyes It's getting harder to disguise That faraway look in your eyes It's getting harder to disguise

I am officially obsessed! I love this beautiful lady's voice so much ❤❤❤❤

Amazing song

Watched her live on Sunday supporting the band in Leeds I went to see. Not my stuff but wow what a voice and the recordings don't come close to her live versions. She definitely had the attention of a tough crowd that weren't there to see her which is quite unusual for a support, very impressive.

Wow, she is really good! Beautiful voice and song.

Simply stunning and amazing.

Incredible 👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖

Such a divine adictive music...can stop listen again and again..

Angels flow out of that voice. Incredible.
