Since I know Firefly has a large following on the board and new to it myself I stumbled upon this cover. She does very well with it, such a moving theme, it packs a lot of meaning into a minute or so.

_Not that it matters at all what I think about how anyone looks_, but it did strike me that the OP’s calling this girl “cute” is a very concrete representation for me of the radical differences there can be between people’s judgments of personal appearance.

That is some seriously obnoxious over-emoting there.

Did anyone else think she looks a little like River? Something about her forehead.

On the performance itself, though, it just isn’t the same without fiddle.

Personally, I like the rendition performed by an obscure band known as [alterEGO](http://alterego.bandcamp.com/album/a-e-t-v).
