Hi Dylan, Greetings from Japan ! I just came here by chance and watched your version of this great song, and,,,,I was "deeply" impressed with your cover... really wonderful !!!
This is absolutely stunning...someone should buy you a bosendorfer concert grand piano.....a real listening pleasure.....you made an old man very happy......Kev
Wow...you are good. I love this song so much, I almost feel possessive about it & dislike anyone other than Joni singing it, but your cover is fantastic...you give it a more gentle feeling...more intuitive.....great work !! I shall look at your playlist next...
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!
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!
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?
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 ...
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
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!
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!
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!
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 =)
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!
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...
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

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 :-)
