Emily Haines - Expecting to Fly

[ethelandhambone]

just right

[mugrhythm]

I was honestly worried that a cover of this song would be a bad idea, even if Emily Haines were singing it. Obviously I was wrong. Perfect.

[funkophone]

Goddamn, this is great stuff.

[71GirlPanic]

I was due to have my wisdom teeth pulled years ago... I had tickets for Neil Young. Needless to say the beer tent was not needed as I was pumped up on the "good drugs"...lol. Anyways moral of the story don't mock the use of prescription drugs with perhaps an extra pill to deal with the pain to hopefully watch a concert. I woke up. Yes I fell asleep in public... drool streaming down my face and my friends laughing. I would like to conclude this post by saying I would like a second chance with her

[GharudaProductions]

I started on youtube Searching Orb Spider I feel like deasmond the moonbear now

[CuzCuz85]

What I wouldn't give to be in a room with just her and a piano.

[elyetzan]

Emily Haines is like Chris Martin female

[peterzang]

Beautiful Emily.. wow.

[tovakaye]

Beautiful cover, and one of my favorites sung by Neil. TY

[arianflamed]

Decent cover.

[iblossomful]

only girl that should be allowed to sing this song is this girl right here, mad props<3 wow.

[freecomptechreview]

thumbs up if you have a crush on Emily. like me. 

[FWYGINOND]

I love the description: "singin songs yo"

[dajesusblues]

This is one impossible song to perform without tears. I've been playing this song for 3 decades. It never fails to choke me up. "If I never said I love you, now you know I tried". Amazing.

[dumbrunetteblondes]

Play at my funeral?

[williamjamesbrow01]

I love the way she chews her thumb before she plays ...

[edumota]

this song no admit covers....sorry.

[hotcatmax123]

at the end the interviewer radio guys voice cracks a little bit from how sad the song is. . . . =\ awe emily you're so lovely

[witchleaf]

Amazing amazing! =)

[bassmanjoe]

Fantastic but i still prefer the original, just different. Nobody can reproduce the original. The original is a work of art.

[TheMacAtak14]

Is it just me or did the dude at the end look like he was gonna cry?

[sefrankie]

@TheMacAtak14 no, you're right, he was totally choked up. and understandably so.

[Ragetegar]

Beautiful song. She got it.!!!

[badnolar]

way better than the original? ugh.  i like it tho.

[foamulator]

Whoever told this girl she can sing really did her a disservice. Pathetic.

[williamjamesbrow01]

@foamulator Wheres your record deal shag ???

[vannedeschenes]

I love metric so much =D Hey I did a speed-painting of EMily haines on mah channel check it out =D

[bubbaandcurry]

I love this song, WAYYY better than the original! I heard this on DayDream Nation! Instantly fell in love with it... There's just something about her voice, original and beautiful <3 Anyone else hear it from DDN?

[lysolbombs470]

@bubbaandcurry

Ehhhhh, you're arguing Emily Haines has topped Neil Young on his own song. I love Emily, but no. While it's the best cover I've heard...it's still not her song. :| ?

[JackLivesTogether]

Underrated truly underrated. This song gives me chills and she really captured the essence of this song. She really shows passion and true grit to the songs and the singer/songerwriters.

[AcousticLvr22]

i just added "meet emily haines" to my bucket list :]

[64locks]

brividi.....bravissima



[erickitty315]

I love Emily, in a lesbian lover kinda way.

[ColonyAlly]

I hope that 1 person that disliked died after they pushed the button.

[minddredge]

wow

[JamesPixey1991]

World's most attractive woman, right there.

[mfischer120]

I get chills listening to her voice. so perfect.

[v0odoochild001]

Waking up every morning to Emily Haines playing piano is pretty much close to heaven.

[rainbowranddy]

Looks great in a "hoodie"

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

What is not to love about this? :)

[xoho]

I like this version better!

[yefer195]

very moving~ when she sing theyyy~~ my mind body feels light :) 

[VeryMetal01]

perfect ....

[Spac3man88]

Emily you blow my mind T_T TE AMO!!!!!!!!

[pointsettia7]

This is like a Silent Slap to the face from beautiful music. I LOVE THIS

[aritra13]

like this if you are here because of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas........

[StigRossi]

@aritra13 ??

[backinatracksuit]

@MacGrurry By laying my mother's pride on that nice steinway, key by key, softly with plenty hesitation I could esily to justice to her playing, and you puss, would you whisper the words.. At least I think you could take me places not like her, temptress, me and you puss, after the yard..

[MacGrurry]

@backinatracksuit Wow

[GreenChilliD]

That was top notch. You feel the same heart drop as when Neil does it. Fine work right there...

[backinatracksuit]

It's ugly and cynical this trend of female performers to understate, and stuff every line with their ugly breath as though we're all on the pillow with them, and these ridiculous accents that they douse the odd word in like their piss, that's what they're doing like dirty alley cats coming out of some father's hard earned bedroom to spray over a song then we turn up looking for a beloved tune or favourite show and then I'm tasting it the spray

Thanks Jack Nitszche

[MacGrurry]

@backinatracksuit you're a puss. this broad can stuff my every line with her breath anytime

[backinatracksuit]

@MacGrurry haxpacting to flahahahaye, squatting over something in a yard or a business man, the same one who put up her hood, who perhaps is inside that skinny bod and from there is screaming his commands, thats where an accent like that comes from, one of the two.. if you're going to the yard puss to watch I'll come with you and we can see first hand whether it's that or not

[Mobbymick]

I cried...

[acount002]

she so beatiful

[11xzxzxz]

The antithesis of Jewel. You are some babe.

[11xzxzxz]

Her voice is special with the sensitivity of Neil's voice and this is great. Duo anyone? Neil's easy to meet at the Bridge School.

[pater001]

Emily:

Neil Young is one of my favorite performers, today I fell in love with you.....

[11xzxzxz]

Great performance spend with so much feeling! Now we all know you tried, Babe, and succeeded beyond dreams. Your facial expressions, posture, moves, fingers and voice are so wonderfully idiosyncratic and perfect. What great phrasing. I have never heard anyone else besides Neil do so much and he had Jack Nitsche orchestration behind him. Now I expect to go to your site and see that you are someone famous or you damn well should be.

[rockinroller7]

@11xzxzxz I've always bellieved that those who've had the courage to do a Neil cover (and do it well,) can actually feel an emotional connection with him.

It's got to be so difficult to put it out there, not knowing if it will be accepted.

Peace.

Rock

[baltabalta]

thank you for uploading this! I have been looking for this since I saw it years ago.

[tolzersf]

Perfect.....and she's singing the harmony as well...unique

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

gasp..ug...she kills it to death

[theodorewolfgang]

this is really bad. really. bad.

[ellemenopee]

I really wanted to like this. Ugh.

[vampyros1]

She sounds like a ton of other femme songbirds out there; all breathy and sans vibrato. At least she didn't screw the chords up-

[89Pigsofdarkness]

she sings good but cant get even a bit close to Buffalo Springfield. i dont know if anyone could replicate the sound of Neil...

[heneghan22]

She does it justice - passionate & poetic ..

[Skyman46]

@heneghan22 I agree....she has soul, she felt it especially with the piano...you could hardly screw up a song this beautiful.

[Alexz]

Fucking beautiful. Perfection. 

[IndieheadFilms]

Her voice is PERFECT

[anuteamsterium]

Beautiful song.  She got it.

[phddddd]

She got it! This is about as far from a good track that Emily Haines could ever perform. She needs to take it from her repertoire and gain some soul. I've never snoozed to a Neil Young song before.

[FuckingStanz]

Butchered.

[calvinmontgomery]

i'm guessing you haven't heard the original.

[oldjoe5]

Amazing. Might be better than the original -- no mean feat.

[tolzersf]

Hope u like this one too Nathalie...

[sydfan526]

you made the most beautiful song sound even more beautiful. Made me cry tho.

[saaalut]

better than the original version !!

thanx for sharing
