All the covers of this are amazing. She has a few. Pure lighting in a bottle! Can't choose a favorite. Just play them in series over and over cranked to 11😁. Salvation in a song! Power of a bomb 💣 in slow motion.
I love the YT algorithm, unearthing talented soulful young musicians who are new to me like Sierra and her partner on dobro. This cover oozed taste and style. Have some poppers 🎉🎉🎉
As a big fan of Tears for Fears since my very first days (my mom listened to them while she was pregnant), you created the only cover of this song I'm able to listen to :) Thanks
I've seen her do this song with several different ensembles of different instruments. Last night, I saw her do it with a different guy on double bass; plus electric guitar and saxophone. I've also seen she and Ethan do it with a guy on piano and a different time she and Ethan with two guys from Jerry Douglas' band. I've seen her with her husband, too; but I have yet to see them do this song together, in person.
Saw her do this last night; but the trio had a pianist/accordianist. She's had various different trios with all different instruments on this Winter's tour.
I was at that show too; but I just noticed your comment now. Yes, the opener, Scott Mulvahill was amazing. As I recall, he joined them for a different song towards the end. He will be doing a headlining show at Stoughton in November. I saw Sierra at DelFest and she did this song with a quartet that included 2 members of Jerry Douglas' band. That was on the third stage, indoors. The next day, on the main stage, she was beginning this song, again with Sam on piano; but a few notes in, there was a lightening strike and power surge that cut power and ended her set abruptly. If you love Sierra, then try to make it to DelFest. She is there every year and guests with everyone and really steals the show. I saw her play as part of 9 different sets in 2 days. It was my first time seeing her play with her husband. Among other sets, she was part of Ronnie McCoury's Mandolin Extravaganza, that included himself, Sierra, Ricky Skaggs, David Grisman and a young, little known guy whose name evades me. She blew them all away. They all stare in awe when she takes a solo. There was one point when David Grisman, who was sitting next to her, gave up and stopped playing and leaned on his headstock with his mando on his knee as he watched in humility. Del himself strummed along on guitar for some of the set on her other side and made some hilarious faces of shock as he watched her tear it up. I have several cool pictures of such scenes.
She said it was one of those snippets of song you get in your head that you can't think of the song and it comes back a few times. She finally figured out which song it was and then it was off to the races. That part I understand because I get snippets of songs like that. How she constructs a song is far beyond what I can understand. They are very complicated while sounding very simple. I know the songs that she covers are familiar to me and they are not songs I particularly like but, when she does them, I'll loop them back to back for hours on end. Today I did an experiment. She has a song she wrote, Redbird. I heard it once and skipped to another. Today I looped it while I did other things. Now I like it a lot.
Chris You could add hundred of thousands of thumbs up on your statement. This was such a soulful version with a great frigging band. Her lead solo on her Fender uke was the bomb
Every time I watch a Sierra Hull video I smile.
She is doing to this song what Johnny Cash did to 'I Hurt Myself Today'. Sierra just keeps owning it more and more..
Didn’t realize how much this song haunts me in a good way. Love the performance, Sierra and her musicians

Its special to listen to musicians this good
I've seen her many times now at festivals from coast to coast and never ceases to amaze me. She's a very rare talent.
What a beautiful version of a great song!!
Sierra’s done a few covers of this Amazing track…. They are all awesome . What a talent, beautiful voice
Now 27 and married to the dobro player, Justin for 2 years - he's a multi-instrumentalist, and they tour together. Quite a talented duo!
Her solo is breathtaking
she's awesome playing that instrument as well as singing. Kudos!
As a big fan of Tears for Fears since my very first days (my mom listened to them while she was pregnant), you created the only cover of this song I'm able to listen to :)
Thanks
Very well put together and entertaining...
Me: "I wonder if there's a bluegrass version of Mad World."
YT: "Did you want _Sierra Hull_ doing Mad World?"
...Yes. Yes I did.
I love this song, and hers is a wonderful cover
So glad I went to school with her :) she's an amazing friend :)
That's awesome. It's funny how in this song she sang "Went to school and I was very nervous. No one knew me."
If you like this, check out the Delfest version! Simply amazing, thanks!😊
Magical. Listening to this in 2020 quarantine is kind of weirdly powerful.
This is beautiful this girl can play Sierra u are hugely talented.

Halliday7895 Mandocaster*
I’m so looking forward to the Grey Fox festival this year!!
So much space in this.
Lovely and delicate. Many greetings from a fan.
amazing talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She should record this. She does it better than anyone else I've heard. BTW ... that four string mandolin could be twice as old as she is.
That's not saying a lot, she's only 31.
Very moving. Thank you.
Loveit
I’m a fan😊 of
Bravo, Sierra
Beautiful.

Very nice !

we saw her about the same time, at the Stoughton Opera house in Wisconsin. She performed with 2 basses, it was amazing!

strange and wonderful . . .
Damn !!
Oh my!!! :)
I wonder what made her decide to cover this song. Go girl!
She said it was one of those snippets of song you get in your head that you can't think of the song and it comes back a few times. She finally figured out which song it was and then it was off to the races. That part I understand because I get snippets of songs like that.

Frank the Bunny brought me here.
J.K. Actually, the Philly Folk Fest brought me here.
XLR8DaMUSTANG me too! Amazing!
What tuning is this? Sierra must tune down a half step and capo up.
Is that a 4-string electric mandolin?
Yes It's a fender mandocaster
Is there anything Moe doesn't play?
Cut it.It will be number 1
i am the deer in your headlights baby.

Wait, is she shredding? oÔ
A ax and
Pity her voice is too quiet in the mix...
Welp if that won't steal your face idk what will
