Ryan Arcand - The Beginning
Homeless man composed this music. If instead on the street with the car noise, he would play in a studio environment, this could be a bestseller. Wait until 01:47 - he pretty much succeeded summing up the human condition:


Ryan, a man who has been living on the street for 30 years plays the piano outside in downtown Edmonton, in Churchill Square, no one taught him to play, he just could.

Short transcript from an interview with him:
- I'm not a religious person. But there is a difference: You can be religious, but not believe. But me, I believe and I'm not religious. I believe in the higher power, in the Creator.. and I thank the Creator, I love the Creator for giving me this gift. The Creator knew exactly what day, what year this day would happen. I didn't know it..

Singing the song:
 
Mouskouri's got quite the clear voice.

For something I actually found today, Dave van Ronk (an acquired taste, he's got his own way, an emotional but voiceless blues artist, usually on the correct side of things) made me finally understand "Both Sides Now." Mitchell's classic is apparently one of the best folk songs which usually means I should love it, here is Ronk's interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMhBdIu8gaI
 
- Laboratorium Pieśni-Sztoj pa moru (Што й па мору)

Laboratorium Pieśni (meaning: Song Laboratory) is the group of female songsters from Tri-City (Poland), which was created in 2013. Using traditional, polyphonic singing they perform songs from all over the world, mainly: Ukraine, Balkans, Poland, Belarus, Georgia, Scandinavia and many other places. They sing a capella as well as with shaman drums and other ethnic instruments (shruti box, kalimba, flute, gong, zaphir and koshi chimes, singing bowls, rattles etc.), creating a new space in a traditional song, adding voice improvisations, inspired by sounds of nature, often intuitive, wild and feminine.
