  • You have a gorgeous voice.

  • real good. I'm brazilian, so I will write from now on in portuguese...

    sério, tem muito gente burra no mundo. o cover tá MUITO bom e o cutielala aí vem falar uma merda dessas

    tá foda isso aí, pô

  • your voice reminds me of Tori Amo's :) good cover!

  • I thought it was fantastic- it had a few elements of Joanna's, but you definitely made it your own!!!

  • Either this guitar is huge, or this woman is tiny.

  • Can I ask what chords you used for this cover? I notice it's a different key to the original - thanks!

  • 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 :)

  • You have a lovely voice. =] Beautiful job.

  • I like your version so much better than joannas.

  • I love your interpretation of this song!

  • brilliant 

  • u have a beautiful voice, i jus wish to hear more of it. pretty girl might i add

  • very, very good!!!!! I liked it a lot!!!!! :-)

  • I like it. pzzplz is a douchebag.

    Even if you WERE bent on world domination and made me listen to this "shitty cover" all day it'd be cool with me.

  • What? how is this bad? This is simply amazing and I loved this version of it!

  • 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!

  • oooooh. i really love this. your voice is perfect for the song methinks.

  • i actually really liked it

  • amasing interpretation love vebrato in your voice

    totaly added to my favourates. you make such a great cover of this song

  • Boy, do you ever have an AMAZING voice! and I love the way you interpreted this piece on guitar! Beautifully done.

  • can you write the chorsd in the description or here please?

  • I. Absolutely. Adore. Your. Voice.

  • You have a beautiful voice.. I can feel the emotion, powerful. 

  • I love the way you took the song and made it your own, while keeping the original "scent" of the song

    :)

    Perfect!

  • That is possibly the worst cover of peach plum pear.AND we could use without the facial expreession.thanks bunches sweetie(;

  • @TheLittlemissSTAR you're a huge fucking asshole

  • @timmchap35 NICE TO MEET YOU TOO SWEETIE!!!!!!!!!

  • @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!!

  • great voice

  • absolutely fantastic. so much emotion. you are fantastic - don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

  • I love Joanna's style, but yours is also amazing! It's like it's an entirely different song, and it's very good!

  • 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.

  • 1'000,000 better than the original.

  • this was awesome

  • OMG this is sooo good. And your voice is sooo much better than Joanna's. I really felt the words when you sang them. Good Job!

  • joanna was orirginal

  • Lovely!

  • 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.

    Excellent interpretation and singing

  • 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 think this is so beautiful!

    i love your voice!

  • very very very...good

  • This is great!!! Such a beautiful song and really difficult to cover, but you pulled it off :)

  • where do i find women like you?

  • @spockcarolla apparently youtube! dude, make a move! ;)

  • Beautiful.

  • Aww, you're delightful, just like a little piece of cake!

  • sweeet! =D

  • greaaatttt!

  • Thumbs up, girl.

  • 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!

  • one word, STUNNING!

    best guitar cover ive heard in a long time!

  • 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!!!

  • Moving and wonderful. Watching this, I realized that you were moved by this Newsom song as much as I was when I first heard it. Bravo.

  • AMAZING!

  • WOW.

    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!!

  • Well done lady

    i love when someone sing with closed eyes :D

  • haha wow. this hater needs to get a grip. the most pathetic thing is someone who takes time to go rah rah rah on shit they hate. get a grip

    anyway...GREAT JOB!!! i love the song and this is a very cool cover :) i like the way you did it very much :)

  • Performed with your usual excellence!

  • 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.

  • Way to tell this jerk off, I think it's a good cover, you made it your own, and you do what you want to do.

    Obviously he's a moron because he said "i'm not trying to be an asshole" and then he did things that perfectly and completely exemplify an asshole.

  • 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 “Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.” –Ernest Hemingway

    I thought this was wonderful by the way.

  • @TheKatiebeans Did you know that Ernest Hemingway killed himself?

    @ MyBabyBenson I probably am a douche.

    @Robyn256 Everyone has the right to express themselves. All apologies on the rudeness.

  • @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.

  • PS: you have a kick-ass janis joplin kinda look to you :)

  • 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.

    peace

  • 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

  • YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

  • your voice is beautiful

  • you have a wonderful voice and i am in loooovveee with this cover:D

  • What a beautiful folk voice!

    Zane

  • Wonderful!

  • You sing it better than she does. :]

  • Beautiful!

  • So nice feeling

  • 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

  • This does sound like Joni Mitchell! Beautiful voice!

  • 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!

  • OMG!!!! :D

  • i love your voice

  • sehr gelungenes und emotionales cover.beautiful voice.

  • Your voice is stunning! Like Tori Amos but with your own beauty!

  • what chords do you use?

  • Great voice. I enjoyed this.

  • Thoroughly enjoyed it....

  • Oh wow... When i saw this video i thought to myself "No fucking way this can be good" ... Lady you just blew me away, 5 stars and your amazing.

  • Naprawde fantastyczne wykonanie! dodaje do ulubionych...

    which means:

    That's brilliant! I've just added this song to my favourites...

  • truly amazing!

    you have such a lovely tone to your voice

  • this fits somewhere in the gap between cover and original...

    You know, the place where people are afraid to go because its easier to do a cover and just be done with it.

    But your voice and playing style adds a refreshing sound.

    Great job

  • 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 :)

  • Tres bon. I like.

  • you have such a beautiful voice

    i hope you get famous or something

  • 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.

  • I entirely agree.

  • Excellent! I dig your couch pillows.

  • Good cover, that guitar is bigger than you!

  • I love it... her voice reminds me a lot like Janice Joplin. Sweet!

  • I was thinking more Tori Amos?

  • :) i like.

  • wow,wow,wow!!!

  • yeah part of me prefers this cover to the original...

    you are very talented

  • Wow

    Really good/.

  • This is wonderful, I prefer it to the original. You have such a beautiful voice. Good luck. :)

  • my friend and i are doing a cover of this for our next performance that's like exactly the same as yours. but not as good.

    props.

  • I love that song, and your cover is great.

  • This is one of the best Joanna covers I've seen.

  • gorgeous voice.

  • Wow. You should really proud of this cover... It is perfect from beginning to the end. The emotion, the voice, the guitar....

    Thank you

  • this is a beautiful song, I wish I could sing notes that high, but I'm an alto.

  • Great song, great cover.

    I wish you weren't over the pond, i would make you offers unti8l it was enough to play my wedding.

    You are really a talented musician and you originals are beautiful.

    Good luck Robyn

  • i really like this. beautiful.  :)

  • Really good! Great job:)

  • I liked this

    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
