  • ur voice is so beautiful

  • I loved Joni when she started; now I'm a lot older, and it fills my heart with joy to see that younger people like you love great music and lyrics. There is hope for humans!

  • Ooo love this song. You do it justice girl!

  • i was nervous to hear someone cover a joni mitchell song, but you did a great job! thank you for appreciating her music!

  • Being a HUGE fan, disciple of Joni Mitchell's words and music, what an honor to experience such a stunning, heart-rendering performance!!

    DITTO to AnonymousViewer1's comment . . . you have inspired to pick up my ol' Martin and explore the Muses.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

  • i love this cover you did. i might be singing this song at a school event, could you tell me where you got the piano music for it?

  • impressive

  • It is merveillous !

  • That was actually amazing. Everything about it.

  • Wirklich gut. Find ich toll.

    Super.

  • I have hard time distinquishing your voice from Joni Mitchell's. Very beautiful and talented singer piano player!

  • :O Awesome job!!!

  • I've always loved Joanie. She's awesome and you did a beautiful rendition...thanks.

  • Absolutely Fantastic.

    Thank you.

  • Mate seriously thats the most genuine comment iv ever read. My upmost respect goes to you. Peace brother.

  • @ENTENOU lol, YOU must of wrote that comment whilst listening to this song didnt you

  • Hey, Dylan. You'll probably never read this, because you probably get hundreds of comments; but I have to say it anyways.

    I just want you to know that your rendition of this song really touched me. I'm generally a big, burly, man's man, but this had me melt away like nothing.

    I stopped singing 10 years ago, but you motivated me to start again. My aunt is dying of terminal stage 4 lung cancer, and I'll learn to sing and play this song for her and everyone else who goes through heartache.

  • @AnonymousViewer1 I have to agree with ENTENOU. You're heart's as big as you are, this post touched my soul. I can't make it through this song, not ONE time, without tearing up. P.S. I'm also a large dude. I can't handle this song!

  • This is brilliant well done :)

    I've also recorded a version of this :)

  • you should check out the cover by tayler and tyren swanner. it is the best I've ever heard!

  • i absolutely love this song and you do an awesome job of singing and playing it. i was wondering if you ever thought of making a tutorial of this song. i taught myself piano and i'm still learning a lot. i'd love to learn to play this song. so could you please make a tutorial?

  • hands down, this is the best cover on You Tube. i'm planning on covering it later on and was looking for others' versions - this is great!

  • check out Amy Kuney's version.. pretty good too. I like both

  • hi!You're good!Where did you get the part of the piano?Do you have it on paper?

  • amazing

  • awesome!

  • I might have rated this 2 yr ago,if not here's 5*, just fantastic!!

  • has anyone ever told you that you are extremely talented?You nailed this song!!

  • hey can you post the sheet music for this song? it would be VERY much appreciated!

  • Amazing! You have a beautiful voice!

  • Great performance.

    Your voice reminds me of Lisa redford.

    If you could cover one of her tracks that would be great.

  • i have seriously just fallen in love with u!!

  • lol poor guy

  • whoa, I am very impressed, I worked for Joni way back when...is there more of you somewhere?

  • wow your really great

    love this song

  • hell yeah!.. you r dame beauty girl. damnn!!!!

  • All Joni Mitchell songs are amazing and i have loved river ever since i understood how to listen to a song . Some covers are not that great but yours is pretty good .. i was looking at the piano and you have inspired me to perform this song at my next gig ...

    thankyou ....who ever you are x

  • Nice. Great song. You look more like Tori Amos, but you did Joni justice on this one. If all songs were as beautiful as this the world would be a better place

  • this is BRILLIANT, could u plz message me the piano part :) ur brilliant and i love this song and i love voice and I LOVE IT!!! xx

  • wow this is amazin :D

  • It's not jinglebells...

  • Haha, silly corndog.. If you had listened to more than the intro you would soon have realized that this song wasn't jinglebells.. It does sound like it in the beginning, I'll give you that. But.. Yes.. :p Better luck next time!

  • sweet!

    well done.

  • Hi Dylan, thanks for watching!

    Well, for 'Jezebel' I based that cover mainly on a tab I found online, then filled in some of the fingerpicking bits by ear.

    I do have a few originals... in fact I just posted two of them (the ones in greyscale) on my channel.

    By the way, I absolutely LOVE your cover of 'River' - your voice gave me chills!!

    Cheers :-)

    -Elise

  • nice!

  • Thank you so very much for this. You have a beautiful voice, you play very well and sing and play with such emotion. This is a beautiful song; you do it justice - wonderful!

  • OMG!!!!! I cant believe it...I think Its the best cover I have ever heard.....And I am 56 yr old die hard fan of JONI !!!!!!!

  • Very nice! Soulful. The fact that it compares to Joni's original, is incredible.

    You have a lot of talent. Dare to be great. Experience life. Write your own stuff.

  • niice!! :D

    you wouldnt happen to have the sheet music for this would you? i figured out the intro and chords by ear and could learn the rest but it would be much easier if you happened to have the sheet music and could send it? thanks!! :D great job again!

  • wow!! i like your cover a lot!!! :) the song is so beautiful and your voice and performance are very very nice!!

  • very good, definitly one of the better covers of this song...definitly worth comparing to amy kuney, joni mitchell, and sara bareilles....great job

  • Emotion is something a lot of covers lack, and yours was full of it. Beautiful cover!!!! One of the best I've heard on youtube!

  • Holy shit that was awesome!!

    I think that was the best youtube cover i ever heard.

    GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's hard to do Joni...but I have to say, I love everything about this video. The song, your vocal, the piano playing, the emotion you put into performing this cover....even the color of the wall behind you. Just stunning. You really did a great job =)

    beautiful cover.

  • Hi Dylan Patrello, I think the best cover of River, Seriously you has unusual ability at music! Thanks masa from Tokyo.

  • You sing this song with great beauty and emotion.. thank you so much for sharing this with the world...

  • hey wat do u no bout music?

    plz dont stop

  • hey dax is a pretty good rapper; ever thought of doing a collaboration with him? by the way his new moustache is doing him no justice, tell him to shave that shit off!

  • you are BEE AY U TIFUL

  • Beautiful!!!

  • DAXFLAME'S SISTER IS PRETTY GOOD!

  • i am sorry. but i dont see any unique talent, i listened to this video and others without looking at the visuals first so i could simply listen. it was not anything i would ever listen to on the radio or consider buying and this is NOT a style issue, it is a voice issue for me. the voice is just falsetto in high pitch, and the average school girl chorus member in everything else. if there was talent several record labels wouldve contacted you by now. i could be wrong though...

  • @BBMjakejill

    Voice isn't everything, and there is definitely a lot of people out there with great voices that are not signed with any record label.

    Have a look at her songwriting(not in this song), piano playing and stage presence.

  • yeah perhaps, i didnt mean to sound that harsh, it really isnt that bad, its just not phenomenal, its like average to me on the whole spectrum; mediocre, but really its not me whos going to determine success so mark this the end of my criticism which i suppose was unnecessary in the first place depending on the goals of the singer. =P

  • Linda!!

  • Linda? lol
