How does anyone just walk right by and not stop to listen for a moment ?

Because she needs ORIGINAL songs to spin and weave her beautiful voice around....as the vast majority of folk would have passed on by having already seen and heard her many times...it's called "taking talent and gifts for granted".....par for the course these days as so many wannabees are being plugged on TV ENTERTAINMENT shows, then cast away so quickly. I'm more than up for the task of writing something original for you....if it interests you Rachel.

For a moment? I would walk by & be so captivated, I could not continue to move.

Imagine encountering such a stunning performance and performer and being so involved your daily activities that you don't even stop to listen...

My wife and I visited York last week and enjoyed our lunch sat down listening to this very talented singer for about an hour. We enjoyed every song she sang and we even bought a CD. Such a lovely polite young lady.

I just don't get all these people just walking past when you have this talented girl singing and playing so beautifully. Well done Rachel, you sung and played it so well. Beautiful.

I keep coming back to listen to this lady sing this song. Eva Cassidy was for me one of the very best but this young girl easily matches her, What a talent.

Why on earth would you not stop and appreciate this beautiful talent. This is food for the soul 👌🏻🙏🏻

Word on the street is you’ve fled to London and left York without a heart. No one ever brought so much warmth and joy to Kings Square as you did. You, wrapped up in the winter’s cold, with your hat and gloves and a Nero take away singing this song and others almost daily is a memory I shall always treasure. Thank you and good luck.

Beautifully sung by a lovely lady. Excellent recording. Well done.

probably the best version of this song I have ever heard. Just amazing.

Makes me crazy how people can just walk by and not stop even for a few seconds to pay homage to such a God given beautiful voice! I too am a singer and although my reason for singing has never been for the glory, it's such an amazing feeling when someone stops and lets you know you touched them...
