This is a beautiful cover. Your voice is perfect, and although the style of your cover differs dramatically from the original, you maintain the spirit of Elliott Smith with a haunting presentation, unlike a lot of covers that try to turn his songs into a poppy vibrato version.

@Surphen Many thanks! Elliott seems to inspire certain views towards vibrato so I feel the need to point out that Elliott lists Stevie Wonder among his favourite vocalists. That said I understand why people might think vibrato is overdone in pop music.

Definitely one of the best Elliott Smith covers on youtube, I've always found it surprising how nice Elliott's songs sound with female vocals.

I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks :)

I love your scarf's! he he he. Your a great musician. Your voice is so inspiring. I really love your Smiths covers too! Great job!

[erinmerle]

thanks so much :) I have waaayy too many scarves. I stopped buying them and now people buy them for me not knowing about my exploding scarf drawer.

Wow...the result of two worlds colliding in space and creating a nebula of beauty. That's just symphonically hypnotic, yet simultaneously bizarre because of the choice of an Elliott Smith song with so much profanity, but that is nowhere near being a bad thing. It's like an angel singing an Irish lullaby. It's mesmerizing, captivating. Oh my god, I never saw someone tap into the ancient root of music's enchanting effect like that before. Bravo, well done, and encore.

I love watching covers of favourite songs, and i must say you added a unique and very different touch to this song, in a very good way!

@BossOfHumanity hahaha! Hello. No, I'm just one of those floaty people who bumps into things and can't spell.

Erin, I'm still waiting for you to cover more Elliott Smith. I love hearing you swear. Cover more from the Elliott Smith album, it is his filthiest and most honest.

This blows, very american Idol, no justice to the song, dumbed it down.
