I think it's the only song (and this cover specifically, not when it's by Death Cab For Cutie) that can make me bawl my eyes out without me having to imagine a story behind it or having felt like shit to begin with. Truly remarkable.

And it's not entirely flawless, but that's what makes it so unique and special, at least for me. Hearing Amanda's voice break a little makes it that more devastating and emotional and just real.

I don't think I will ever get tired of her singing this song.

[Skinscorcher999]

Her voice sort of stabs you in heart and stays. It's amazing..

[idontwannabeapirate9]

Her voice breaks my heart.

omg...I do this song in a cover duo...this is killing me but fantastic. @portalblue thank you for uploading, from Australia :)

[Laststepp]

@KayteBlack capo 5 on the guitar :)

[KayteBlack]

does anyone know what key she plays it in? I want to try and get the music from somewhere

@MARINAnaf93 the original is a three minute song, she drags it out to almost six. it sounds exactly like all the other constipated piano versions of this song.

the original slays this. you must not watch a lot of covers. lol

[MARINAnaf93]

@catseatingclouds well that's my opinion.you see this as "chopped and screwed" .I see a remarkable performance.

[catseatingclouds]

@MARINAnaf93 yeah, if you like chopped and screwed covers of songs haha.

I don't think it's "better" than the original per se, but it definetally carries more emotion.
