Gosh this is such an amazing version of this song. I hold this song very close to my heart and you just made it even more special. Keep rockin' and making your awesome music. \m/
I have to tell you that what you do is amazing. You are able to turn these wonderful rock compositions into even more beautiful classical-sounding piano compositions. I have a lot of your stuff on my iPod. I love what you do and you possess an amazing talent! Being a musician myself, I wish I could do what you do.
It's nice to see a different view of this song with respect to the piano. If this was a guitar player there would be a shit load of negative comments towards the musician.
Beautiful just...beautiful!! there's soo much soul and beauty into AIC's music, that's why i love it so much, i can feel it deeply! and you, the person who was able to play their beautiful songs in piano..feel it as well, you play them perfectly well, piano is the ultimate instrument to get to the soul!!
Why is this song so amazing? As much as I love the original, this one just reaches out, somehow. I find myself singing the lyrics in my head as you play.
WOW... Nutshell is one of my favotites songs... To hear such a beautiful rendition... WOW I wish to thank you for this gift and your willingness to share it with the world... You have just gained another fan of which there must be many... Again thank you.
i would totally buy a cd with covers from this girl.. amazing amazing stuff... some stuff she did with pantera and metallica songs blows my mind, and this as well... better than the 'plugged' version she covered
It brought a tear to my eye. I'm so happy YouTube has opened so many doors for the public to see incredible undiscovered talent like yours. That was amazing!! You just time f&$@ed me!!
As with pretty much everything I've seen you cover so far, amazing job. As a piano player I know that it's not always as easy covering these songs as one might think. There's much more to it than just playing the notes, and you captured the soul of this song perfectly. Well done!
While all of her playing is off-the-charts awesome, there are some songs that you can just feel that she has a special love for. This is one of those songs.
oh man.. this song tears at me but i love it. it sounds so beautiful on piano.. thanks for doing this song, i know you dont take requests but i would have definately requested this
You guys need to stop comenting on who disliked this version of probably the greatist song I have ever heard (behind Nirvana's All apologies) and comment on the beautiful Brilliant take on this Rock masterpiece.
The 1 person who disliked this song is just sad they have no talents whatsoever and has to hate. But its okay whoever hit the button, McDonald's still appreciates how you can quickly transfer the fries to the basket to the hot holder.
WoW this is just beautiful. You can play this with such emotion and compassion. This is by far the greatest version of this wonderful song, THANK YOU for sharing with the rest of us
The only version better than this one is the one with Layne singing. You did an amazing job. I wish I could hear you play this and listen to Layne sing over top of it. Thank you for such a beautiful cover!
Well done. the Nutshell and the acoustic approach with piano then and now with black gives way to blue, delivers powerful visual associations. thanks for sharing this. it's been on repeat all day. Peace-
awesome cover i can see that you are so much inspired by the songs you play and take from each note the sense that the author felt when composed...i have a question...do you think that starting playing piano at 21 is too late? thanks...bye!
I really have to thank you for this Record, vkgoeswild. it's so great to sing on it, It gives me a new dynamic.
I don't know mutch about playing the piano, but it sounds great to me - and gives me a lot of feelings. In my opinion it's that what music is all about.
you've got a sweet taste of music., if all this videos representing your taste. After a little overview from your Videos I realised that it will fit my taste too, that makes it great to me.

I thought the proper mood of this song would be hard to capture without the bass but you did it -- it's just beautiful! Thank you -- I LOVE this song!!!!
Right now, I'm trying very hard not to lose my composure whilst I listen to Vika's beautiful and haunting interpretation of this song...
Where the original 'Nutshell' has always taken me to a very dark and desolate place, this version, surprisingly, puts me in a somber, but reflective mood.
Picture a rainy New England afternoon during Thanksgiving break from college, when the whole campus is empty..just you and a large picture window distorting a sad reflection through its myriad raindrops.
@FeeDeeXxX no no i understand...but just listen to the song with no words. Its almost even deeper than a song filled with emotion and filled with words. This version makes me think about everything in my life. Everything that I adore and everything I hate. Every enemy Ive ever had and every new friend that has come along to replace the old. This song is releases me

This was absolutely amazing, I know you're probably busy and it costs to make suggestions, but you should consider the song lexington by chiodos. It is difficult and very piano oriented, as are many of chiodos songs, and it would be amazing to hear you play it, your cover would blow every other one away =]
