Saskia - youtube artist

[Libby]

After finding her beautiful, unique cover of Hayley's Summer Rain (which I posted in General Hayley chat), I checked out Saskia Kusrahadianti's other uploads on youtube. Here are some other lovely songs, including Mists of Islay, and she mentions Hayley as the "original singer".

What is a Youth/A Time for Us

Mists of Islay

Greensleeves

Scarborough Fair

Nocturne

Because You Loved Me

Well done Libby, she is a great find. She has nice soothing voice which is very relaxing at this time of night (2 am here!). I have her videos playing one after the other, already feeling sleeeepyyyyy (in a nice way)!!!

Cheers, Dave

Haha, yeah. And they're not even lullabies!

She does a few Irish folk songs, and even a poem by the writer of In the Bleak Midwinter... and it says she arranged it, so I'm not even sure if that was a song before, or if she literally composed it...

Oh, you can buy her original songs on Bandcamp. I've only seen a couple of them, but haven't tried them yet. Probably will tonight.

I just realized this video couldn't have come at a more meaningful time... isn't this about to be the first week of June? This is a song she wrote with Jeff Franzel, and here she is, about to write with him again.
