perez you are slacking on the news today!!!
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.
excellent
Bleh. BORING!!!!!!!!
More like a soft pantyliner.
"P" how about a diet instead?
omg perez stop it with EXQUISITE!!!!!
Oh my fucking GOD. Hours have gone by since your last post and this shit is all you can come up with??? Fuck you suck lately Perez.
Thanks for posting this Perez. What a beautiful piece of work! Love your site!
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!
CHANTAL DOES IT WAYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER BITCHES
perez, i love you
but lately your music choice has sucked. a lot.
its all whiney semi-indie girls
LOVE IT! Sounds like early Joni Mitchell.
Thanks for posting this, Perez.
I saw Edwina play at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest this past August. She is soooo amazing live. Her voice is beautiful.
sthu and gtfo
please tell me you have listened to the Dolly, Linda, Emmylou version of this song.
It is on the Trio II album.
Absolutely breathtaking. Fucking stunning. Thanks for sharing it with us.
thank you. this made my evening. Very lovely and sweet.
nice
Beautiful, please continue to bring us new artists to enjoy.
"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.
Listening to this song, and scrolling down the page through the train wrecks god has graced us with makes me feel rather sad. What pathetic lives!!!
beautiful!
It's okay but I'd rather be listening to Ville.
gimme more just went platinum baby

Edwina is one of the best. Her new album is incredible. Everyone should hear it.

I want to buy this album. so good
perez that song was amazing, im am going to try to find that song for my myspace page. love ya perez
Re: Dan – u asshole!
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!
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…
This song is by randy newman one of the best songwriters of our time
update, perez!
PEREZ I LOVE YOU BUT YOU HAVE BEEN SLACKING ON POSTING NEW SHIT LATELY!!!!
awwwe its such a pretty song
Perez has really been slacking lately with his posts…
how much do people pay you to put their song on your site and say you like it????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE ALBUM YOU CAN BUY ONE FROM EDWINAS MYSPACE AND OFF HER OWN SITE TOO. 'OUT ON MY OWN' IS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW AND YOU CAN ALSO PRE ORDER 'POUR ME A DRINK' WHICH HAS THIS SONG AND ALSO SOME MORE OF HER OWN FANTASTIC WORK!! :O) XX
I know her! She's quite big on the music scene in Yorkshire - lovely to listen to.
"GO YORKSHIRE! There's only one rose and it's white!!!"
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!!!
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.
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!!
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!!!

If you like English folk, Kate Rusby is better.
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!
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*
Thanks to everyone who said where the CDs could be purchased!
Electronic money is pixiling to England.
she has a beautiful voice. i added the song to my myspace page
Love that song. My sister used it as her first dance at her wedding.
uh…sounds nearly identical to chantal…only chantal's voice is better.
*yawn*
It sounds exactly like the original–which I love. The original was already stripped downa nd sentimental.
OMG!! She has such a beautiful voice and this is such a pretty cover of the original.
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.
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
this is awfully pretty.
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.
thank you soooo much for this gem. i've been obsessing since i heard it. could you tell me what cd i can find this song. the only cd's of her's i keep finding are from 3 yrs. ago (which i will be buying). one again thanks for bringing edwina hayes to me.
thanks,
Fernando.
much better than the jose vanders shit. She made England look like a music black hole.
Re: fernando moreno – HI, THIS COVER SONG IS ON EDWINAS NEW ALBUM 'POUR ME A DRINK' WHICH YOU CAN ORDER FROM HER MYSPACE AND HER OWN SITE (WHERE YOU CAN ALSO BUY EDWINAS FIRST ALBUM)!! hAPPY LISTENING!! :O) XX
Re: Sassy – OMG! You know Just Off Turner? They're SO AWESOME!!!! Perez should post them here!!
I suggest you listen to Beautiful Suffering by Alastair Artingstall
it's a very beautiful song
That is not Chantal Kreviazuk's song!! Randy Newman is the original singer. Get the facts first..sheesh!
