The beauty and youth of the woman in the foreground contrasting with the age and undying vitality of the willow trees in the background is art enough... With the music? Forget about it. ;)
HORY SHET i ,eam what the fuck, i havce mbeem on this video so many fucking times iwhen im drunk, but sober i just dont understand this song, i dotmt iderstamt wjy?`why ?its fucking beutiful, and singing girl is fucking amazing,
I just LOVE watching all the many covers of this song.. how everyone has their own style. It's amazing how very different one song can be just by switching the player.
every1 has their own oppinion on what this song is trying to say...very poetic and genius. what's every1's thought? my thought is it's a love song from alcohol to elliot....
Your strumming is a little rhythmically awkward in places, but you have a very nice voice and in my opinion you perfectly captured the mood of this song. I think Elliot would have approved of this cover.
You are entirely remarkable. I appreciate your voice, your guitar, and they way you convey candidness and peace through your song. It may be weird, but after listening to a few of your videos I was suddenly inspired to start thinking up songs of my own... I don't think it's coincidence. :)
You're a wonderful singer- very, very impressive :) I mean no disrespect when I say this, but I think your true strength is singing more than guitar. Keep on singing, you have a beautiful voice. Elliott would be proud.
This is great! :) Your voice is so... I dunno, just awesome. It's like you're one of those rare people who has a full enough voice to convey a full range of emotions.
Just as soon as a heard you I subscribed and Favorited and added you to all my music playlists. God you're great you sound great, you play great, and the emotion in your voice is great. I love this song and I already love you
@Lawlsrsly I get what you're saying, but I'd have to disagree with you on some of your remarks... First of all, this (of course) is a COVER, which is honestly, one of the best. Secondly, Kelsey does have some ORIGINALS of her own... lyrics and all. Thirdly, HeyKelsey is NOT some "talentless hack"! Lastly, do some research... Check out her profile and listen for yourself.
nah, you're real pretty and all, but your timing's way off, you try to do this vibrato stuff that totally ain't necessary and it's all about your voice, not the feeling of the song.
i honestly don't think this would have such a high rating if you weren't a pretty girl sitting under a willow tree or whatever.
I´m deeply in love with this song, and i like your version the most. The sound of the rain blends perfectly with the inner felling of the music, so quietly sad, just like your voice´s autumnal quality. Go on, girl, you´re wonderful. Cheers from Argentina!
for some reason, this does not remind me of love. it reminds me of a part in 'crank', when she gets raped =/ but its complete beauty. elliot smith is amazing ;D
@Ejectggw526 FULLY she shode me she is SO AWSOME =D i dont even like this music or these types of vids but i LOVE watching these ones she is AMAZING! =}
I am more of a nature guy so the way u choose your backgrouds with trees in the outdoors just make's me crazy but the thing is no mater how much i whould watch the trees i can't take my eyes of u! keep going!
Great job. The other people making comments are fighting silly battles....maybe this isn't the best medium for that. I certainly wouldn't want to enter a battle of who is least secure.
@notbadkid369 Not when you exude the raw emotion that Elliot Smith does. Also, where the hell does a JFAC fan get off criticizing musc for being 'run -of-the-mill"?
you really think this is "definatly better than the original" ?
not a bad cover.
I've seen better,
but no cover is,
or ever will be as good as Elliott's version
As a rule of thumb, a cover is never better than the original. Even if the musician is more technically skilled, the original will always be that, original. Any talentless hack can make a cover, but it takes talent to compose your own songs.
This is beautiful. I'm going to cry :')
