A few days ago, my grandma and I listened to this song, and she said it helped her calm down because she has heart problems. Today I listen to this cover again, and it doesn't feel the same as when she was beside me. I hope you are happy somewhere, Lola.

Literally haven't found such a beautiful and unique voice in a long time!! So so talented

[agnesmasucol]

This made me cry. It reminded me of the first time I arrived here in the US many many moons ago. This was playing on the car radio on my way to my school dorm. I never thought that you could play this so beautifully on the cello. Your music touches old hearts!

[gaaandal]

the cello harmony hits the spot every time

[bernhardwall]

I love her use of the cello in her songs. It's one of my favourite instruments, but it always seems to be limited to "classical" music.

[sheilamarie]

Your voice and music is a home for me. My late mom would hum or sing your choices of songs. You make me cry in nostalgia and love and warmth and homesickness.

[briandubois-gilbert]

It’s beautiful coincidence that cello (the classical instrument) rhymes with the Latin word cielo (sky, heaven). There is something celestial in her musical style and artistry. It’s fascinating and enchanting.

It's now been over 4 years since I clicked on this video to listen alongside my grandparents and I can't express how lucky I was to have discovered you so early along your journey. You made lockdown easy to work through and brought a small community of people so close together. I am so happy to see that you've gained the fame you deserved and will shed a tear in joy every time I come back to this cover. Thank you, Laufey! And Happy Birthday!

I always find myself coming back to this video, something about Laufey’s cover is so calming and soothing! I hope she can make an official cover and have it on Spotify in the future. Much love 🤍🤍

The cello sent me to tears. I quit a few months ago after playing for 3-4ish years during middle school and junior high and took me back to the chills I got hearing the instrument for the first time. My brother is going to play now and it’s going to be so hard. This makes me miss it

1:08 that exact note from cello touched my heart

[ChipPayet]

I used to sing this while my Mom played piano so many years ago. What a beautiful rendition, and it awakened so many lovely memories.

[jllemin]

I love that you shake your head just a bit when your singing vibrato. I do so many head movements and weird things like that when I sing to make my voice sound better and it gives me confidence to see someone else do it

[Nedwin]

This is the true treasure in music industry!! Someone must bring her to Hollywood!!

[marydenniseafable]

The way each note was played on the cello, the harmony, rhythm, and emotions keep reminding me of the Titanic movie TT

[heidimoru]

YOUR SONG SOMEONE NEW IS MY NEW FAVE JAM😭 its so good! hope to see it on youtube soon😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[jasperplayz]

Such a loveable artist indeed. This very song was the favourite song of my grandfather before he unfortunately passed due to old age.. Now seeing it was sang by one of my favourite artists, listening to the beautiful tune of the song... It softens me. Thank you.

[watermelonchon]

Your voice feels like a warm caramel. Sweet, soft, melting in my ears : ) Thank you for sharing this <3

[marksopicki]

The passion Laufey brings to this song is positively beautiful ❤

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
