love that she has so many different versions with different instrumental arrangements, the song sounds great in all arrangements it’s amazing
She has jazz deep in her soul ❤
It’s actually insane that an artist like this was being suppressed by a major label for so long!!. If she didn’t leave them, we would never been able to hear her like this!!
This is it
Not often an artist comes around like this!
On point
Super rare
the actual sadness of the lyrics shins through in this stripped version. a brilliant songwriter and an even more talented singer.
She's one of those rare impressive artists that get recognition as they deserves like Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Adele, Alicia Keys,...
She got the creativity, the stage presence and the voice.
Admirable and impressive how she manages to capture the emotion in every single one of these performances. Whether it's the first or thousandth time she performs this song. You're a true artist, massive respect!
It feels like this is the original version, chorus makes so much sense now. She is a gem definitely, such an amazing artist.
"Lipstick smudged like modern art" I love that line
Omg how intense and unique is this? Love that version. She doesn’t need a band. She IS the band
best comment
She is definitely the contemporary version of Nina Simone. Wonderful voice timbre, interpretation and presence.
😢😢 this version is so beautiful
She even shed a tear at the end 😭
Came in late to listen on the radio this morning in the car.... thought it was a recording until the end, when I realised it was LIVE. I was like WTF.... that was LIVE?? WOW!
Never heard of Raye before.... she has two new fans.... what a voice! Great song!
So then was even a bigger bonus that she is a Nina Simone fan.... would love to hear her do 'Strange Fruit'. Her cover of 'I Feel Good' was amazing. Not many could do it justice... she did.
That's pretty fkn phenomenal.
Her ability to create a new arrangement for each live performance?! A new feeling and depth *EVERY* 👏🏾*TIME* 👏🏾 I literally CAN. NOT! A talent not to be missed 😁
How I feel about her is how I felt when Lady Gaga first started. She's got something special and she's gonna be big.
So grateful I saw her live 🥹
About to see her live today and I’m so excited!!!
I flew from Bunbury to Sydney to see her at the Enmore. Best decision I ever made. She is truly wonderful and when she’s filling out stadiums I can say I saw her back in the day in front of a few hundred people. She is a truly amazing talent.
She is iconic ! A true artist really. No one can compare with her nowadays
Amy Winehouse vibes 💯
4am remix is the best of all time , incredible talent , Album of the YEAR !
The voice, the lyrics, so much talent!
Such a real pure melody really??
This was.... perfect!! WOW
This was my introduction to RAYE, WOW. I've had goosebumps all morning checking out her BBC/NPR stuff. Feeling Good was amazing. I assume Brisbane show has happened because it wasn't mentioned. She gave a great Did You Know this morning about the colour green....
This was incredible. I can't remember the last time a Like a Version moved me. I love when artists cover these classics. Keep 'em coming.
Agree with everything but this isn't a cover of a classic - this is her own song.
this is the original artist, but yes i agree!
This is absolutely beautiful. She’s my new favourite. 💕
LYRICS:
Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him
All of my diamonds are drippin' on him
I met him at the bar, it was 12 or somethin'
I ordered two more wines, 'cause tonight, I want him
A little context if you care to listen
I find myself in a shit position
The man that I love sat me down last night
And he told me that it's over, dumb decision
And I don't wanna feel how my heart is rippin'
In fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'
And I'm out on the town with a simple mission
In my little black dress, and this shit is sittin'
Just a heart broke bitch, high heels, six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi, sniffin' cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin' for a man who was on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me, take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel
Toke this joint how I'm blowin' this steam
Back to my ways like 2019
Not 24 hours since my ex did dead it
I got a new man on me, it's about to get sweaty
Last night really was the cherry on the cake
Been some dark days lately and I'm finding it crippling
Excuse my state, I'm as high as your hopes
That you'll make it to my bed, get me hot and sizzling
If I take a step back to see the glass half full
At least it's the Prada two-piece that I'm trippin' in
And I'm already actin' like a dick, know what I mean?
So you might as well stick it in
Just a heart broke bitch, high heels, six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi, sniffin' cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin' for a man who was on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me, take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel, mm (what?)
'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can't change (last night)
I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Out of reach, out of touch, too numb, I don't feel no way
Toast up, so what? Street small, but it go both ways
So you'll run, yeah, but you'll never escape
Sunset in the maze (you're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel)
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night, oh
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Mm, lipstick smudged like modern art
I don't know where the fuck I am or who's drivin' the fuckin' car
Speedin' down the highway, sippin'
Mixin' pills with the liquor 'cah fuck these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (uh-huh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (uh-huh)
I remember nothing, so there's nothing to regret (uh-huh)
Other than this 4-4 kick drum poundin' in my head
Raaaaaayyyyeeee, I ❤ you

What an extra-gorgeous voice tone and range. Here's one place I believe 'profanity' detracts from the beauty of her voice.
