love your voice, such buffy st marie kinda passion, not to take your voice away from u - u really shine thru ur voice - saw ur comment about negative reactions just ignore any idiots that don't know how to respond professionally or at least humanly to stuff :)
This is the best cover of this song I've heard! You hit it just right. Thanks so much for covering this. You are just stunning and full of nusic and life. Keep it up!
@TheLittlemissSTAR "We"? Don't speak for the internet, sweetie. Especially when you're being a rude brat. I would rather not be associated with that, or you. It's ok not to like something, but, really, your approach screams pathetic :/
Le sigh.
Anyway, @robyn256, stumbled across this and really liked it - seemed shaky at the start but picked up quickly. Thumbs up'd it for you :Db
@ohthesovietkitsch OK??? i put this comment up like 3 years ago?!?! and i dont care what robyn256 says im just saying that i dont like this cover!! and im not a brat ok!! WHY are you telling who i am you are no body to me so dont tell what i can and CANT put on YouTube!! OK SWEETIE!!
Robyn, my jaw dropped hearing you sing this composition. The song's chord choices seem mostly positive, even though the lyrics might not be exactly that. You deliver the song with such calm composure and originality that one might believe you made this all on your own, however on a gloomy day with tears involved.
Amazing you have a very beautiful unique voice.. It's sounds like you hopped out of the sixties...which is great, no one sounds like that anymore:) i love this song but can't listen to Joanna newsoms voice.. But now I can! Thanks:)
Excellent comment. 60's is precisely how I would describe it, very melodious and chime like and well articulated.
It's nice to see covers that try not to imitate Joanna's all too impossible to imitate singing style and sing as they interpret it. From what I have seen of Miss Newsom this is how she would like t done to.
Best cover of this I've seen. All the others (particularly the boys) appear to have transformed it into some teenage pop-punk style, which sounds terribly cheesey and awful.
This, however, is delicate and delightful, I adore it.
I totally agree with the comment underneath mine :)
I definitely can see people playing these songs for many years to come. While they will not be "Stairway to Heaven" I think that most guitarists will come across these "New Age" folk artists and put a twist on one of their songs.
What I love is how nicely you interpret this into your own song. I see Joanna Newsom and others as a new age of Folk singers whose music will be passed on and played by generations, and this is a damn good start. Nice job!
i know i commented already, but i really really like your voice. this is an awsome cover. i tried to cover it and i failed...haha. but you did a great job!
Oh man you were at that seven eleven when that guy came in and tried to rob the place! I saw that on TV and you hit him with the 40 oz. of OE you were trying to buy! Way to kick some ass seabass!!!
I've been looking through videos of joanna newsom covers and yours has been the only one that made me cry. I love your voice and I think you were right on in capturing the essence of this song. AMAZING!!
Beautiful cover version. Pzzpiz there's definately something wrong with you if you think you're not trying to be an asshole! Or maybe you don't need to try!
It's just a cover. I wasn't particularly pleased with it in all honesty, but a friend asked me to cover it a while ago and so I did it for him. I don't see the big deal. Some people like it, you obviously don't, and that's fair enough. There's really no need for all the rudeness, I'm not planning to release it as a single or enter Pop Idol. I have no plans for world domination wherein I force everyone to wear headsets and force them to listen to my ''shitty covers'' day-in, day-out. Peace.
i think you did an awsome job :) you have a very unique voice. very entertaining. pardon my language.....but fuck the rude people that have commented. they dont know what they are talking about :)
@pzzplz What are you talking about? This is a MILLION times better than Joanna Newsom's. Have you seen J.N. live? I have. She is shrill and sounds like razor blades scraping off the skin of a newborn cat. Please. Don't be a jerk. You are trying to be an asshole. Saying that you're not doesn't change anything.
Don't listen to this garbage, yr voice is great, including the shaky thing. I dont like open chords either, and they seem a little off too, but if yr gonna criticize dude, why not just shut up and do better.
not only is it constructive and positive but you'd be putting your money where you mouth is and your mouth where it belongs.
What are you comparing her voice to? It sounds like one of those contestants on american idol who really believe their voice is good when it actually sounds like shit.
Not only is what constructive? Learn to construct grammatical sentences first
I love this song and I like your cover and your voice very much.I have also a cover of this song,but I´m more a guitarist as a singer ;) I hope you like my cover too
You sound like Joni Mitchell! This sounds nice, but I think it would sound better a little quicker and less predictable with the inflections you use. Beautiful though!
i agree, it's hard to go out and make a cover sound more your own and personal.. and it sounds much better when it's done (well), really good cover :)
finally a real vocalist, doing justice to a great musical composition. Here, the voice sounds real and heartfelt, not like a mockery of itself. I think that in essence Joanna Newsom is a songwriter, and a musician, not at all a singer/songwriter. This is BEAUTIFUL. I'm going to add it to my favorites, just 'cause. Thank you for doing justice to a nice piece of music. Finally!!!! Maybe the anti-joanna messages I've been leaving will stop resulting in death threats. One can only hope.
you sound nervous at the start though, bit trembly and cracked a little; don't be, you have a really nice voice...this covers good for all the people who can't get the hang of joanna's unique sound
Best cover of the song, your voice fits perfectly. Fuck all the haters!
