Introduced to this young and talented musician yesterday by my grandson who is studying at RMIT in Melbourne. She now has a 73r old Scottish granny as a fan! She is simply ACE!!! I hope that she goes far withher musical career. All the best, Tash! XX

This girl is fucking phenomenal. I don't think people are realizing how hard it is to be able to make music like this. The fact she taught herself how to do all of this is even more impressive. This music isn't for everyone I guess and that's alright but at least respect the talent she has.

I’m in the middle of a divorce, trying to sell my condo, still living with my ex during a pandemic. I’ve been feeling lost and hazy, like I’ve forgotten who I am deep to my core. It’s been so hard to even breathe with this constant tightness in my chest. But this song. THIS SONG for some reason gave me hope, I felt my heart smile and got chills everywhere. The me I’m searching for is in there, I can feel her. Thank you for this.

My wife and I fell in love with each other listening to this song. We went to her concert and met Tash's wife and fell in love all over again.

[rafcorreia]

how am i only seing this now???one of the best things i've ever heard in my life

[Kazukamadi]

This song makes me so happy. You can tell how much fun she's having, and the energy that she releases is just so contagious. It's easy to see why she sells out every show. I can't wait to see what she does next.

[rohantankey]

I wish I had her mastery of gear. She is the millennial one woman band. Awesome work.

[Mexicanadiense]

It takes an incredible solo artist to be able to lay down a track that would work equally well on a street corner, in a tavern, or a stadium, all in one go on live radio. Respect the artistry.

[andyhudson]

[mandyhoppes]

Feeding off this beautiful raw energy. They soul is pure musical energy. Much love and respect 💚

i had cancer but then this performance fixed it from inside my heart. Some people might say that the cancer in my right arm was caused by sorrow, but I say that it was just a bad thing that happened. This song fix the cancer, it fix it so good that it never come back to my body. Thanks Trash, you're such a loud artist and you kill my cancer babe.

[mrunknown]

she has that 'thing' hat a lot of Australian artists have. we in the UK know it when we see and hear it, but we really don't know what it is. very captivating, she's going to be Worldwide!

[karly]

I have no idea who she is, i literally just clicked on the video and I've never felt so weird in a good way. Like she's so happy and she loves what she's doing and I'm crying because it's so beautiful. and amazing. I love it

[CatSamurai]

Just wow. Out of nowhere. From the streets to the world stage. A lot of people can do ONE of the things she does, but she is a rare talent. One in a million.

[adrianthomas]

[Verse One]
I see the way you move
It's fluid
Be here by my side
Got nothing to hide

I know that you're hurting
I see the tears behind those eyes
And I can't wipe them clear
Your love is like gold to me

But you hold me closer to the light
You will not find a bullet inside
Unless you magnify

But you throw me into the deep end
Expect me to know how to swim
And I put my faith inside my hands
Cause I will be just fine

[Chorus]
Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Welcome to the jungle
You got to close your eyes and see
Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Well hold on
Well hold on

[Alternate Verse]
Suit and tie with the black jeans on
And I’m paralyzed
Cos' I think you got something like the biggest soul I’ve ever seen
And I think you’re the one

Suit and tie, with the curly hair
Making your way with that step and stare
So tell me real, do you feel anything

[Verse]
Ashes to ashes
And the embers are ablaze
Oh, I gotta rise amongst you, though
Then I think about your face every day

But you pull me closer to the light
You wouldn't find a bullet inside
Only if you magnify

[Chorus]
Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Welcome to the jungle
You got to close your eyes and see
Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Well hold on
Well hold on

her music gets me high without any drugs and gives me goosebumps every single time

[jennyeaton]

This is what true music is all about. I love hearing this and seeing how she loves what she does.

[sheapila]

She literally transformed herself into the most beautiful and honest instrument ive ever heard. Hands down. Fucken beautiful. She's fucken beautiful...damn. I just cant say enough. What an honor to get to witness something like that...🤙👊🆓👐✌❤
