Emily (cover)

This is an acoustic cover of Emily by Joanna Newsom, from the masterpiece Ys album.

I cut out the second section, but it's still bloody long - just enough space to fit on my camera. And yes, I know I should have sung "stone" instead of "bone" in the final chorus, but I'm not doing it again.

The song is inspired by Joanna's sister Emily, an astrophysicist, who contributed backing vocals to the Ys track.

Guitar nice, voice not so much.

[Stocky76]

Not everyone likes Joanna's voice either.

[belovedmakesmusic]

nice job, you didn't bastardize it at all.

[tobiasgabel]

yess. you definetely should try to do a complete acoustic guitar version of 'ys'.

[FlaviaSantosbr]

Nice! I love this song!

[carosaurus]

Nice job! I think her songs translate to a male voice very well, Colin Meloy's cover of Bridges & Balloons is a great example.
