Well it helps if you can write a cracking emotional song. It will also help if you can sing it with incredible pathos and I do mean incredible. So that's two boxes ticked for this 18 year old from Minnesota.
Some will say there are better singers, maybe, but its not all about how much vocal gymnastics, range or power you can put into a song, give me emotion any day and there's not many that can emote like Molly.
There was another component that was a big factor in the songs incredible success, Star Trek ..... well not specifically Star Trek but the song went into hyperspace when George Takei aka Sulu from Star Trek was forwarded the track and was taken by it so much he posted it on his Facebook page, with nearly 7 million followers.
The rest is now history, recorded on an old IPhone and on a piano which would obviously benefit from a good piano tuner, the track is incredibly raw and ... well stunning, listen to it yourself I'll be amazed if your not moved. There are already cover versions but none come anywhere close to the emotion Molly puts into it. IMHO Even the studio version is not as emotionally stirring as the raw version. Ive posted some of the better cover versions at the bottom and more of Molly's songs below. Most of the originals are stunning, Enjoy :-)
