Perez my dear, please do your research.

It is a RANDY NEWMAN song. Come on man, you pick some interesting artists but get your facts straight.

We "discovered" Edwina when she came into our English Pub, The Sherlock Holmes Pub, in Nashville Tennessee. Edwina Hayes is that special someone that you hope you may meet someday - a perfect Angel. We have listened to her wonderful songs and enjoyed her performances at our Pub in Nashville which now, sadly, is gone, We took a special trip to England to see her appear at The Royal Albert Hall a few years ago and we look forward to seeing her again this summer. Don't miss the chance to see her live in person. You will never forget her!
Goodluck on your new CD!

"Feels Like Home" is a Randy Newman classic, from his original musical Faust. It was also first (and perhaps best) performed by Bonnie Raitt. Chantal was covering Bonnie.

Hey Perez!!!
I'm bored! You used to post a bunch of pics with news up and you were so prompt about keeping up, but lately you haven't been doing that. I used to only go to this site as my one stop place for news, gossip, and rumors, but now I go to a bunch of other gossip sites that seem to keep up about EVERYTHING that is going on with the celebrities. I feel like I'm betraying you, by doing this but what can I do. Have a nice day!
Allison says – reply to this

145

You know, Perez, it would have been nice if you had updated a bit more today. Though its cool to read about great new music, I didn't get my fill of celebrity news today- boo! Well, not like you will see this anyway…

I know her! She's quite big on the music scene in Yorkshire - lovely to listen to.

154

I think the version is pretty, I like her voice.. but I still have to say I like Randy Newman/Chantal Kreviazuk's version better!!!
Judit says – reply to this

155

FUCKING boring melody and unoriginal, thousand times heard lyrics. The whole thing is last week. Me as a member of the audience, me hatey!

I like the original a LOT better.
Hello Kitty says – reply to this

I found Chantal's version on the Dawson's Creek 1st cd, and for me its still hands down the best version to date.

Her cover was nice, but I love the cover by Chantal Kreviazuk the best. Her vocals are so sad that it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

Peter before you go on and on about how England has so many real artist… lets not forget about its MANY Pop acts.

where can i download this? its not on itunes!!
Nikki D says – reply to this

159

Re: cat – You can't down load this song! It is on Edwinas new album 'pour me a drink' along with loads of her own fab songs, available to pre order from her myspace page and her own web site!! You can also listen to the song in full on her Myspace, I do urge you to buy her album though, you won't be dissapointed!!! ) x

Perez, don't you mean a cover of LINDA RONSTADT's "Feels Like Home?" This song was originally sang way back when in the 70's or something. It just eerks me to here that it's a cover of a virtually unknown artist, when LINDA was the original!

this is nice.. next weeks soundtrack.. this week is btw "gardenia" by mandy moore, which was on Listen To This: yesterday!
zazi says – reply to this

163

Lovely!

But you are such a tease! Tell us where we can buy/download these songs. She is so heartfelt. She totally makes be believe she has fallen in love in "Home" and then in "Pour Me Another" she sounds like someone seeing her life pass before her in the bottom of a shot glass. Terrific.

Makes me love you even more. Such a cool boy liking such straight-forward from the heart music. *kiss*

uh…sounds nearly identical to chantal…only chantal's voice is better.

*yawn*
Wellokay says – reply to this

It sounds exactly like the original–which I love. The original was already stripped downa nd sentimental.
Suzanne says – reply to this

OMG!! She has such a beautiful voice and this is such a pretty cover of the original.
Olive says – reply to this

Finally Perez! The most exciting, happening music genre is alternative folk! This is folk with a punk edge like the Violent Femmes or the Replacements. Bright Eyes and Death Cab for Cutie. Check our Brianna Lane-Porchlight and cover of Foo Fighters Learn to Fly, Liz Stahler- Sinking In, So Damn Proud, I Blame Me, Don't Give up

I don't know why all you Yorkshire tykes are claiming Edwina. She may live there, now, but she's LANCASHIRE born and bred. She's a Preston lass. The quality bit would have the red rose influence not that insipid white one.
Nikki D says – reply to this

172

Re: Dave – Hey, Edwina was born in Ireland, she is actually a celt!! ) If you pop onto her Myspace you can read all about her and then buy her cd's, they are well worth a listen!! ) xx

Wow this is a great stripped-down version. Something I would like played at a wedding. Very nice. Simple folky voice witha a pleasant timbre.
