Lisa Hannigan - Roads (Portishead) | Hibernacle 2020

Lisa Hannigan performs an absolutely entrancing cover of Portisheads trip-hop masterwork, 'Roads'.

[MiStiQueT]

Lisa and Portishead, can this be more perfect

[CoireFox]

If the universe and all it's chaos, order, beauty, and destruction arises out of waves on strings, Lisa Hannigan was born with the String of Beauty rooted, resolutely, in her vocal cords.

From the first reverb, she caught me. Lingering, sweetly heart-breaking, soaring, and the whole time genuine as if she wrote it. I love L. H. but I had never heard this cover. I just happened upon it. It has all her style, all the elements that make her unique as a singer and artist, and of course her beautiful face and presence…I can almost feel it. This will soothe me for the next few weeks

[AM-brbg]

Omg how am I just now finding this. She did amazing

[HwhoaMusic]

Truly a brilliant performance, on a level with the original. Love it

[IK_]

That raspiness in the lower register and that angelicness in the higher register. Few singers can do this. Beautiful

[jdog]

Drums sounds amazing in that space, her voice did the song justice for sure! great job

[Chevytravelleruk]

Seen a lot of people murder this song it's great to see someone who truly gets the powerful emotional content of this song without making a complete carbon copy..
You added your own personality without killing the soul... not an easy task.. well done

[peterburns]

Phenomenal - never thought anyone could do this song justice like Beth. Very impressive. But to replicate it, it needs the deep reverb of the organ rattling the snare drum in the intro - and this is absolutely perfect - Love it 👌

[angearael]

Roads is one of my favorite song ever (Roseland NYC Live version)... Lisa Hannigan has for me the beautifullest voice i've ever heard... i'm in heaven

[chickenfinch]

Not many can do this song justice. Lisa has got it

[matotomato]

Hands down one of my top five singers. I have loved Lisa for years and she never disappoints!

[cnsdne]

Excellent! Respect to the drummer. Not easy to hold down something that repetitive for so long.

[thelanaklei]

Easily one of my favourite covers of Roads, Lisa knows how to make it her own while still keeping it true with the instrumental

[almaguapa-sailboatliveaboa]

So nice with the special effects on the horns.

[bobmerrilees]

Utter genius beauty and heartbreak rolled into one

[TheAlfakitty]

Please play this at my funeral. Never was there a more funereal version of a funeral song. It's Perrr-fect.

[Thinkingisallowed]

So nice to hear a true singer and artist. It reaches the soul. Absolutely beautiful.

The mighty Beth would be proud. A faithful & genuine cover! xx

[philaandrew]

Whoa! That was just amazing. What a sublime voice!
