Honestly I can't believe I'm listening again, like the first time.

[blueroninstudios]

This version just never gets old. Szjerdene's silky smooth vocals and Bonobo's melodies weave you into dreamscapes unseen and unheard of.

[beautifulcrazy]

My 33 yr old son just sent me this video. Oh I am mesmerized by the music and this lady's voice

[pupivalse]

Both versions are amazing cause Bonobo is amazing anyway

[kmodiselle]

Szjerdene does an amazing job. All credit to Grey Reverend on the original. Szjerdene just adds magic to this. The little hi-hats, Simon's sublime bass...This will forever be amazing.

[eureka]

amazing, she kills the male vocalist in the album..  beautiful voice..

[debrasmith]

So beautiful it brought me to tears. Amazing sound...her voice...oh my goodness!

[vickygonzalez]

Her voice is so moving and chilling. I feel every note in my skin.

[PinkFZeppelin]

better than the album version, the drummer and female singer really makes this for me.

[juliechamberland]

you can get the free podcast of the whole set on KEXP radio up on the Itunes store.

[UmbraVulpe]

For God's sake. This should be the main formation of the band. It's absolutely perfect.

[karolmaciejski]

Love both version, they just different

[林郁秀-jo]

How do you see it? The dreams gone
Faded fires, moving on
Why do you need it? the waves come
Over you, to undertow

Honestly I can’t believe it’s burning again
Like the first fire
Run from the fences, you don’t have to pretend
In the first fire

And if you can find it, don’t let go 
Hold it tight, keep it close
Don’t even fight it, the leaves fall
Over me, for every blow

Honestly, I can’t believe it’s burning again
Like the first fires
Run from fences, you don’t have to pretend
First fires

And all the memories are calling my name
For the first fire
Honestly, I can’t believe it’s burning again
Like the first fires

Like the first fires 

Honestly, I can’t believe it’s burning again
Honestly, I can’t believe it’s burning again
Like the first fires 

[DamonReis]

what the FUCK everyone needs to experience this version I can't stop listening!

[nichoyeah]

my favorite bonobo song! Awesome version!

[bluesilkdesigns]

Omg I love this more downtempo version with Szjerdene

[dattmougherty_]

anyone else think this is way better than the studio version? And that maybe he should use more live instrumentation?
