Lyrics:
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, but not me
On his hand was a plain gold ring

Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
And in my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears that plain gold ring

Nighttime comes calling on me
I know why I'll never be free
I can't stop these teardrops of mine
I'm gonna love him till the end of time

Plain gold ring has but one thing to say
I'll remember till my dying days
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears that plain gold ring

Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore

Welcome back, this isn’t your first time here.

[Thawah]

When she started scatting, I physically got chills.

[sniffcats]

I watch this honestly month after month,  year after year, and it never gets old. Her voice is absolutely amazing. The way she moves, and how emotionally connected she is when she sings. She's SO talented. In my top 3 favorite artists for sure.

[LenVrijhof]

Kimbra has a special ability to take you to that other world with her music.

[kvmh]

2023, still coming back to this absolute masterpiece 😭

[LautaroRossi]

3:39 - 4:25 I was left bald by some kind of glorious voice hurricane. Thanks Kimbra for that.

[imsecsie]

one of her bests. 6 years passed and I remember when I saw this video and fall in love with her

[eschelar]

Holy shit, girl can sing... and girl can craft some music!

[jannasaavedra]

THESE CHILLS ARE NOT GOING AWAY I'VE HAD THEM FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW WOW

[kalexambing]

KIMBRA NEEDS TO MAKE A WHOLE ALBULM ON JAZZ SONGS! She needs more awesome reworks like plain gold ring and some originals and I will be happy FOREVER . 😁

[rootsm]

A lot of people get uncomfortable watching her perform because they know they'll never have the guts to be that unhinged. She is 20 fucking years old during this performance. If at that age your rendition of a jazz classic becomes the standard way to perform it, you are a musical prodigy and have every right to not give a single fuck about what twits think about how you do your thing.  

[Elidoransgar]

Thanks to WTTU, Tennessee Tech radio, for turning me on to this, and to Kimbra. Great stuff.

[rozstrategy.design]

Still my favorite all time Kimbra performance, and I still come back to it year after year. <3

[MikeGipsonUSAF]

I havent seen such great "musical rambling" (3:40) since Dave Matthews. She is the perfect mix of weirdness, and talent and beauty. Such an entertaining and delicious thing to watch. Love her. 

[eldergeektromeo]

Her 10 year old performances seem like they are as contemporary as yesterday. Kimbra is just amazing! Love her!

[thecharlesfoley]

The world is full of people that can sing...I've watched this video thousands of times and it still leaves me stunned and in awe. I hate to throw words around like magic and such, but Kimbra's music is of her soul...I've never seen anyone anywhere that IS the music the way that she is. Absolutely brilliant and inspiring.

Lord Have Mercy. Mesmerized. Soul. Rock. Jazz. Hip Hop. Alternative. She mixes so many genres of music along with her own personal style that I think she may have just created her own genre, although you can't label that either, which is great. Feel blessed to have found her. Not enough willing to step outside the box no labels just sincere vocals & genuine talent. She has an awkward stage presence & body language that's actually sensual & sexy. She's also got a retro/another era, space, world, & time thing going on mixed in with countless other things I don't even know if there are words for. In addition to being uniquely beautiful. I could drink this everyday.

[shierubea]

I didn't watch Kimbra sing. I experienced her.

[zuzom]

i like this better than the album version

[brown_town_]

that guitar plus some of her moves -- it's almost pulp fictiony
