Kamelot's "Abandoned" - Harp Cover

After much trial (and even more error!), here is the final, finished version of my cover of Kamelot's "Abandoned." This song took me about three months to adapt and perform adequately on the harp and, just in case anyone asks, I HAVE NO SHEET MUSIC OF ANY KIND; I LEARNED THE SONG ENTIRELY BY EAR :)

With that said, I hope a) you enjoy it and b) I've done Kamelot justice. Please provide constructive criticism :D

P.S. I am aware the video skips around 2:20

EDIT: THANK YOU SO UNBELIEVABLY, FREAKING MUCH FOR LINKING ME FROM YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE, KAMELOT! :]

I just want to say to everyone that has commented on this video: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I can't believe that people are still viewing this almost two years after its posting, and I really wish that I could reply to each and every one of you with a thank you note. You are all the best :)! I also feel inspired to come up with more covers... :D

Alright, i am on my boyfriends account. this is amazing! i get chills all over. Im looking around for some good instrumentals to see if i wanted to use this song as our wedding dance without the words. cause then only he and i would know the meaning to everything... everyone would just think it was this beautiful dance... i def. like it on the harp better than the piano...

@Wojahn345 If you're located in New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania of the United States, I would be happy to play at your wedding :) Thank you so much!!

While I found this to be amazing, I'm going to use words no one else used.

This is on the precipice of perfection. I give you props.

Haha! Thank you very much! Nice use of alliteration as well (:

Damn, that really sounds awesome :P

Going to Kamelot in some time...Would be great if they'd have you play with them @ this song, I think the harp would really add something beautifull to the song! :p

I especially like the intro melody and the chorus.. It's so calming =)
