Let Him Run Wild-Beach Boys Cover-Kayla Williams

[roacharoo]

Kayla,

Your voice is as beautiful as this song and you are. I love how you build up to the choruses. I wish you could sing with the Beach Boys backing you. :-)

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@roacharoo Haha thanks! I wish I could just sing with them period! :D

[Culpano]

Lovely. It would be nice to hear a cover of "Had To Phone Ya".

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@Culpano It's on my list ;)

[6Bb60]

I literally got goosebumps listening to your amazing rendition of Brian's tribute to Burt Bacharach. Your talent is undeniable.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@6Bb60 Thank you so much :D

[todd11561]

Great Job, a real pleasure to listen to you sing.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@todd11561 Thank you! Glad you enjoy it :)

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@uncjky :)

[TheCanine2]

Excellent, world class

[obiwanIV]

Thanks for covering this unusual song. I've not seen your work before, but I love it! Great job.

[imissnepal]

Damn, This makes me soo happy!!!

[markyz99]

Your good.

I think I second what wcassady said. LOL.

[holysxxtbatman]

I became a devoted BB fan as an early teen in the disco era when they were totally uncool. Parents weren't fans either so I had some trouble collecting all the vinyl LPs and getting to their concerts. I thought I had heard everything from them but now I am falling in love all over again thanks to my favorite red head! Thank You!

[AllThisIsThat]

No matter how many times I listen to these amazing songs, they still take my breath away. I have to assume you feel the same way, otherwise I don't think you could do them such justice. Thanks for the great efforts every time.

[TheSouthbreeze]

NICE!

[BeachBoysJanDean1]

Katie, thank you for covering one of the most underated Beach Boys songs of all times, GREAT JOB !!!

[wondermint2]

Hi Katie. Nice rendition. I liked the 60's sounding guitar in the background - it was just about identical to the guitar in the original. Did you get that sound from sampling? I'd like to suggest "The Girl From New York City". Best wishes.

[hippojuice23]

Will you marry me- I promise not to run wild!! :)

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@hippojuice23 Haha we'll see about that ;)

[simoncabello1]

Awesome job for a good song ;)

[wcassady]

God I love this girl. You do amazing with all these Beach Boys covers. Brian Wilson rules!

[GregoryOrme]

I am a devoted Brian Wilson/Beach Boys fan. I even joke that I "once appeared on a Beach Boys CD," because I got a mention in the liner notes of one. I have purchased and listened to countless cover versions of Brian's work, but hearing your interpretations is like listening to these songs for the first time. Your arrangements and vocals are always incredible--true to the original but bringing your own fresh approach. Your expressive face reflects the complex, changing emotions of the songs.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@GregoryOrme Wow. Thank you for that amazing comment! I'm so thrilled you like my covers. I am also a devoted fan and I truly love recreating these beautiful songs and I try my best every time! Thanks!

[GregoryOrme]

@kaylawilliamsmusic I only quit raving because I ran out of space! All your work is wonderful, but you bring something special to the Beach Boys songs. Breaking down the originals and reconstructing them with just vocals and keyboard shows a remarkable understanding of the music.Your voice and delivery are enchanting, far more than mere covers. I believe the videos work best when they are simple. Brian's work is well-suited to a feminine delivery, and you are the perfect voice.

[wcassady]

I think I'm in love.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@wcassady haha :D

[RobertWaltz]

Great job. Gave me goosebumps.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@RobertWaltz Thanks! :)

[DaddyBog]

over 1,000 views (way too cool). Next song? Would'nt it be nice

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@DaddyBog Sweet hey!? Actually I think it might be!...

[SurferJoe1]

Congratulations: you have won my hand in marriage.

Seriously, what a beautiful, creamy voice, and you know how to use it. I love the way you respect the melody here- it's rare to hear that these days. And when you cut loose a little in the end you've earned it. Great version of one of my favorite songs ever, really looking forward to hearing more from you.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@SurferJoe1 thanks so much, I've got tons of BB covers and many more to come, I'm so glad you dig my version!

[begbieboy]

You have such a great voice. Congratulationns for what might be the best BB's cover ever.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@begbieboy Thanks so much!

[1955Cal]

Great job, I'm sure Brian would even approve.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@1955Cal :)

[doctorcastille]

hmm...you must really like the Beach Boys ! Very nice!

Mike

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@doctorcastille Haha I do love them, I've got many a cover on my channel :P

[kurt11110]

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@kurt11110 Thank you!

[fasterthanbolt]

Very good job as usual, Kayla.

Paolo

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@fasterthanbolt Thanks Paolo!!

[RonPal1017]

NIce job! Brian re-recorded this song on the Your Imagination album. Good stuff!

[ChillyBilly4ever]

Kayla:

You have such a rich voice that makes these covers all you own. Wonderful and look foward to what you tackle next!

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@ChillyBilly4ever Thanks! I have a few more up my sleeve ;)

[stokedstang]

Wonderful!! I'm speechless. Thank you.

Jim

[AllenOption8]

Ah, this is so nicely done. I always thought that this should be sung by a female lead - telling HER friend, just let him go and run wild. The build of the background harmony, the nice ending, the capturing of this Brian Wilson gem - is so right. Great job Kayla Williams!

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@AllenOption8 Thank you! Such great comments! LOVE it :D

[kookadams]

great version of a great song. u have a gorgeous voice.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@kookadams Thanks so much!

[earcandy2010]

I totally agree with Longfellow - couldn't have said it better! Your voice is God sent and your playing and arrangement skills are evident...!! Keep those Good Vibrations coming!!! :)

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@earcandy2010 Thank you! There's nothing I enjoy more then dissecting a Beach Boys song and recreating it! :D

[Longfellow7]

Kayla,

You are growing up right before our eyes. This video is perfect - and perfectly simple - lets us see your process ("In Your Room") and the sincerely emotive performance at the mike, and doesn't try to be coy or cute or awkwardly self conscious. You are beautiful IN the music, and the rest was distracting.

Your love of Brian's soul is so evident in your arrangements and your gift for self accompaniment - and that makes you, alas, our dream date out here, for those who get it too. Thanks.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@Longfellow7 Thanks so much, very nice comment :D

[sisw59]

wow you go girl love it

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@sisw59 Thanks!!

[MusicBySav]

Amazing job Kayla!! Hope to see more of this great covers =]

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@MusicBySav Thanks! and you shall my friend :)

[AJFOne]

Another brilliant job!! Do you handle all the instrumentation as well?

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@AJFOne Thanks! Yes I do all of it :)
