[TheDudenurse]

Could I make a request? "Coming Home" by Dallas Green. I think it would sound awesome on a 12 string and your voice is beautiful.

[amccann7]

@TheDudenurse thanks for commenting and your request...i dont know that song, but i'll take a listen. :)

Amy

[prrolg]

I still love your playing and singing and this whole video Amy. I've only had two beers and it's still early so it can't be counted as drunken emotionalism. :)

[soarom1]

[TheLarrybigger777]

Ahhhh..just beautiful

[1978BenF]

Wow. That is a breathtaking cover. The 12 string really adds something, and the vocals are amazing.

One of the best covers of anything I've seen on YouTube.

[amccann7]

@1978BenF Aw, thanks so much for your comment; this song always touched my soul,

Amy

[econoroller]

[gillesgtv17]

votre interpretation est superbe...Nick Drake était un génial poéte,mort trop jeune ;vous le faites ,merveilleusement revivre.......beautiful song........

[rma913]

Perfect. Untouchable cover.

[beermaster77]

Imho you have captured Nick's true intentions on how this song was to be treated compared to the over-studiolization of Bryter Layter's version. You never can do wrong to any song in my eyes, such a beautiful songstress.

[gian743]

beautiful!

[amccann7]

@gian743 thanks for your nice comments on my Nick Drake covers!

peace, Amy

[MrFlyingPanda]

[MITCHWILD]

Oh lovely, I'm currently reading Darker than the Deepest Sea, The Search for Nick Drake, by Trevor Dann. I'm going to start a new playlist "The Song's of Nick Drake"

Your's will be the first on it.

[ruebenanderson]

[sulaimanswaleh]

[ianmcgeachy]

Very nice cover..love the subtle tones you are getting here. Top notch performance of this. -Thanks for the upload. -Ian

[amccann7]

@ianmcgeachy Thank you Ian. Yes it such a beautiful song of Nicks. He really knew how to construct a song so tastefully. It is to my ears, his best from Bryter Layter,.

Amy

[Syudu]

AMAZING! so proud of you

[Desotoguitarist]

Really beautiful version. Greetings from Scotland.

[TheDrumChannel]

Great Job Amy - You are rockin you Tube for sure!

[Defenderofmankind]

nice song, had never heard it before, but I like it! great playing Amy, you rock!

[drunksingsheep]

Flawless guitar playing while simultaneously singing beautifully in perfect intonation. And it's not easy to finger-pick a 12-string.

Outstanding! ~

I wish I could rate this 1,000 stars, but unfortunately it only goes up to 5.

[hyperboreal]

Hey Amy, this sounds very good. Congrats.

Crowned with stars... :)

And to my favourites.

[centralscrutinizer9]

amazing skills on 12 string guitar i read somewhere Nick Drake technique was so precise at picking notes you have the same ability in these live recordings

12 string guitars have a magical sound but can be so hard to play ive had few in the past and nearly threw them at the wall a couple of times

much respect to you my friend

[zappatero7]

another most wonderful Nick Drake cover, Amy!

[pianogirl98]

That was fabulous, Amy!

You give everything you touch life!

[DamianNixon]

Absolutely gorgeous job Amy. Fav'd.;-) Damian

[Marseille5]

Ur fan forever !

[bollockowithalob]

Who needs John Cale when we have the international treasure that is Amy McCann? That's what me wants to know.

[TanteA]

Oh this is very good.

Nice greetings from Anette

[allshookup77]

Wow, that was a wonderful song Amy! You sang it beautifully and you really made that 12 string almost sound like a symphony (lol)! Well done, I enjoyed it very much! ... FrAnK (★★★★★)

[fingercheese]

Ridiculously beautiful....moved beyond words...but than again...I guess these are words and yet they still fall short of what your music covered or original means to we... it is just magical...I believe you are some sort of musical genius or something...or maybe musical a guru...what ever it is...I am grateful to have witnessed it...felt it...which I guess means I participated in it, in some sort of way...this moment you made...by being all one in some cosmic way....thank you Amy...

[raybradhausen]

Beautifully understated cover of a very poetic piece of music.

[AndreasBusshart]

that was great ...fantastic performance..love that 12 string...peace

[jherr5150]

One of my favorite Nick Drake tunes, along with "Northern Sky", "One Of These Things First", and "Place to Be". Sounds awesome Amy!

[plukkiepluis]

Wings you give us all Amy... merci du fond du coeur ;)

[ProgMom67]

This is beautiful Amy. The 12 string sounds lovely and your voice is perfection. How do you have time to make all these awesome videos? I guess it's effortless with a talent like you.

[annahpanna]

oh wow , this is so amazingly good

[rhopen]

12-string, Nick Drake song, Amy in a wonderful zone... I come-a-running :o) -Ron

[chrisnatti]

so lovely Amy.

[kelborgui]

Fantastic!!!

I loved!!!

Congratulations.

[joeburton77]

the first sounds i have heard today, and who could ask for better!! sounds great on the 12 string and I love the variations

[amccann7]

Thank Joe! Yeah, I wonder why Nick never recorded anything on a 12 string. Too much tuning/re-tuning I guess.

Peace my friend, Amy

[RevelingInReverie]

Ah, Amy. I just love you and your music! You never fail to disappoint!

[amccann7]

Thank you Karen; you know I feel the same about everything you do.

~Amy

[MegMerrilies]

Lovely, I was blown away by this. Thank you!

[starship333]

Love the way you sprinkle magic into Beautiful Songs!

Its Just so Enchanting. : )

Bits of this remind me of Pink Floyds ~ Granchester Meadows.

[Powderfinger07]

Beautiful Amy!

[natobaden]

[tonegooch]

Wonderful!

[SCARAMACAI2]

[tomrom7]

That is GREAT! You are very, very good.

[destoman1]

This is stunning, I'm lost for words.

***** & Faved.

Peace

[Oswlek]

As I listen to this, I feel the worries of the ground dissipate and the heavens open. I've always dreamed of flying but this is almost as good. You are amazing, Amy.

[Oswlek]

After watching this I found the original version and I have to admit, I like this more. Much more.

The 12 string adds a ethereal touch and your more soothing vocal matches the tone better. At least, it does IMO.

[Oswlek]

Youtube must have snafued. I sent up a completely different comment and it just recreated my first one.

Let's try this again. I went and listened to Drake's original and I have to admit I prefer this one. The 12 string adds an ethereal quality and your calming vocal suits the song better, IMO.

Really like this.

[DerSekundenfaenger]

Beautiful, i like t how you keep the singing highlights for the end, though its a highlight all the way through :)

I was really astonished, it fits perfectly and the 12 string gives the song a, or the special atmosphere. great

regards

[amccann7]

Thanks Tobias. You inspired me to get back into my Nick Drake covers. I had previously covered many of his tunes on a different YT channel, but all have been removed, so I am re-doing them now, and I thought "Fly" would sound cool on the 12-string.

Peace, Amy

[jt20042]

Agree with what About2Rain said...Beautiful Amy! Love the guitar sound on this one alot. Great song, great cover:) And I must say I always find your video effects enjoyable. You take the time to try and present a song visually too, not just sitting in front of your cam. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's always cooler with a visual! Okay I'm rambling now so I'll shut up. lol Peace Amy:)

[amccann7]

Thanks JT! Yeah I accidentally found a new effect by adjusting colour & contrast!

Peace, my friend!

~Amy

[About2Rain]

This is one of my favorite by the master himself. You have done a wonderful job with this song Amy.

Beautiful...:)

[amccann7]

Me too! I love the Viola playing by John Cale...unfortunately I dont play one of those...yet!

Thanks for your sweet comment About2Rain.

~Amy
