Right? I always say this is "one of my favorite songs", but I think if I ever absolutely had to pick one, this would be my first choice without question.
It's coming up on 20 years since he's been gone. It still breaks my heart. He'd be so proud of this, Vika. Thank you for teaching me how to play it. I don't have half the grace you do.
It's amazing how as soon as he hits the first note you feel the sensation in the pit of your stomach. The love and pain and joy in your life is amplified with this song. WOW love it
Lyrics: We chase misprinted lies, we face the path of time And yet I fight and yet I fight this battle all alone No one to cry to, no place to call home My gift of self is raped, my privacy is raked And yet I find, yet I find repeating in my head "If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead"
Right now, I'm trying very hard not to lose my composure whilst I listen to Vika's beautiful and haunting interpretation of this song... Where the original 'Nutshell' has always taken me to a very dark and desolate place, this version, surprisingly, puts me in a somber, but reflective mood. Picture a rainy New England afternoon during Thanksgiving break from college, when the whole campus is empty..just you and a large picture window distorting a sad reflection through its myriad raindrops.
I don't know what it is about this cover, but it just clears my head of any stress. Which allows me to think clearly while its playing. So I find myself hitting replay over and over
Read this comment and smile, because this is honest and from my heart - as a musician I loooove your version of the song.. Very touching and a lovely feeling you have. Thank you.
All my days sound like this for 51 years, I discovered it at 24 when the album Jar of flies came out when listening to Nutshell, there I knew that before I knew the song it had been sounding like the soundtrack of my life since I can remember Without knowing that one day I would find in life that music that accompanied me from in my head is very crazy to explain but good music has these wonderful things that they do not usually have a word, thank you very much for your interpretation it is fabulous and it took me to unique moments in my life hug and greetings from Argentina
I just don't know how she does it. I mean I'm just speechless. I have no clue what Vika does in the kitchen but it tastes SOOOOOOOO good. The world would NOT be the same without musicians and their music. Thank you.
The dynamic inflection points have been reproduced perfectly. Bravo You play this song as if it is special and purposeful to yourself as it is for so many.of us.
These covers you do are from artist that have created there own sound of music and have unique sound that you seem to cross over from classical to contemporary. And make a beautiful master piece of them you can kind of get into head from your choices you make and that's cool!! That's what its all about feelings and impressions and emotions with every touch thanks again for sharing your gift to the world!! Like i said i think before if there were more people in this world like you the world would be a much better place to live in.. And i truly believe that
First note.... tears were flowing.... this tune has always meant the world to me for many personal reasons.... thank you for your cover..... simply amazing.....
I haven’t listened to Alice in chains since Layne passed, wow this has made me want to listen again fantastic cover would of loved to hear him sing along with this version
I gotta admit... I simply can't stop listening to this cover. Every time it ends, I find myself clicking the "Play" button again. Really do love the cover of this version of the song!
Why is this song so amazing? As much as I love the original, this one just reaches out, somehow. I find myself singing the lyrics in my head as you play. Amazing job. Amazing Song.
Well done. the Nutshell and the acoustic approach with piano then and now with black gives way to blue, delivers powerful visual associations. thanks for sharing this. it's been on repeat all day. Peace-
WoW this is just beautiful. You can play this with such emotion and compassion. This is by far the greatest version of this wonderful song, THANK YOU for sharing with the rest of us
I'm a huge fan of the band and expecially this song and I have to say your version is beyond beautiful, totally enjoyed it. Many thanks for sharing this here, much appreciated!
This is fantastic, all your work is brilliant but you really shine on the more somber pieces like this. It really brings a new appreciation to the original work too! Great job!
I have to tell you that what you do is amazing. You are able to turn these wonderful rock compositions into even more beautiful classical-sounding piano compositions. I have a lot of your stuff on my iPod. I love what you do and you possess an amazing talent! Being a musician myself, I wish I could do what you do.
Why do all good artists die? Layne, Kurt, John Lennon, Jeff Buckley and so many others. It's such a damn shame and waste of a fantastic talent. All we gotta do is let their music live on and you have done a wonderful job with this cover. You nailed Jerry's solo. Amazing job!
Wow this is incredible. Super accurate. I plan on teaching myself this version soon. May take a page out of your book . It seems like it was meant for piano. Again.... Incredible
This one's better than most of your other covers. Not saying that it has to do with your talent or anything like that, but the music sets itself a lot better on the piano. Love it!
The only version better than this one is the one with Layne singing. You did an amazing job. I wish I could hear you play this and listen to Layne sing over top of it. Thank you for such a beautiful cover!
I can't believe how beautiful this song sounds on piano. It seriously makes me tear up. RIP Layne Staley
I Know
Best song ever💓💓💓💓
This song got me through some very difficult times in my life, shed some tears after hearing your version. Very moving!
The first version was pretty good too, but all the while this is such an amazing song.
Listen, brother, no matter how rough it gets, everything always gets better. :)
1 - put the headset 🎧
2 - press play ▶ ️
3 - close your eyes 😑
4 - cry 😭
@Marcus Starman So I'm gay now.
I agree it is chilling some of my best times and worst times at a young 18 year kid
Hearing this song is always like a punch to the gut. Even without lyrics, you managed to convey that same amount of emotion with the piano. Great work
Thank you
This is my favorite song ever and nothing comes close. Your version is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
When I die I will have this song played at my burial.
agreed hands down fave song EVER💓
Right? I always say this is "one of my favorite songs", but I think if I ever absolutely had to pick one, this would be my first choice without question.
It's coming up on 20 years since he's been gone. It still breaks my heart. He'd be so proud of this, Vika. Thank you for teaching me how to play it. I don't have half the grace you do.
I really hope Jerry, Sean, Mike and William have heard this. If not, they are seriously missing out.
Beautiful.
Thank you
I saw this 13 years ago.. and its still one of the greatest covers of all time for me. Thank you! :)
This song can be played at my funeral.
Thank you very much
Ditto
That’s insane how well you play this instrument your hands are like giant spiders graciously crawling along the web
I'm 34... I don't cry since I was 12. That song, at original version, gives me gosebumps.
The piano version makes me think about my whole life.
havent cried for 22 years? wow you must be a real tough guy huh.
@@luckyjigglywiggles5454 unfortunately
Best piano version ever!!! Every time I hear a tear comes down....
Every single time I hear those first few opening notes, my whole body chills. This song is so above and beyond grand it's unreal.
It's amazing how as soon as he hits the first note you feel the sensation in the pit of your stomach. The love and pain and joy in your life is amplified with this song. WOW love it
Its absolutely amazing sounds in your hands on piano! My favorite song by Alice in chains.
Lyrics:
We chase misprinted lies, we face the path of time
And yet I fight and yet I fight this battle all alone
No one to cry to, no place to call home
My gift of self is raped, my privacy is raked
And yet I find, yet I find repeating in my head
"If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead"
My favorite song in the world interpreted so beautifully....
This song is perfect on piano. I play it on a guitar but this song needs that bass line to tie it all together.
I can't listen to this version without hearing Layne in my head singing along with it. Amazing
I’m not sure why I decided to search up nutshell on piano but I’m glad I did, it sounds amazing.
My favorite alice in chains song ever. You did a wonderful job.
My fav song of all time
This is perhaps AIC finest piece, unfortunately a pre-eulogy to Layne Staley's death...pulls at your heart every time.
Right now, I'm trying very hard not to lose my composure whilst I listen to Vika's beautiful and haunting interpretation of this song...
Where the original 'Nutshell' has always taken me to a very dark and desolate place, this version, surprisingly, puts me in a somber, but reflective mood.

This is fantastic! this song works so well as a piano piece. thanks for sharing
One of my all time favorites. Your cover is excellence. You understand every emotional variant in the music. Bravo.
Thank you

WOW! Just WOW! What an Amazing Rendition to an already amzing song... GREAT job.
I don't know what it is about this cover, but it just clears my head of any stress. Which allows me to think clearly while its playing. So I find myself hitting replay over and over
Love how your hands just glide lightly dancing over the keys magical 💜🙏🏻😇

Even though this was made 10 years ago, it still sounds so beautiful
I really got to say you are the definition of talent keep it up

(Congratulation for execution!)
This song sound so awesome in this version!
What a beautiful cover. Thank you for this
Thank you Pete
@@vkgoeswildofficial do you still have the sheet music? i’d really love to play this
the original alone can bring a tear to my eyes, this version can almost drown me in them. amazing!
So absolutely amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!
Vika, you are a treasure. You made one of my most loved songs even more beautiful. Thank you.
That was the ultimate cover I've been waiting since I've subscribed to your channel!
Why do all good artists die? Layne, Kurt, John Lennon, Jeff Buckley and so many others. It's such a damn shame and waste of a fantastic talent. All we gotta do is let their music live on and you have done a wonderful job with this cover. You nailed Jerry's solo. Amazing job!
Greatest AIC's song and a beautiful cover. Has all the emotion of the original.
Wow this is incredible. Super accurate. I plan on teaching myself this version soon. May take a page out of your book .
It seems like it was meant for piano. Again.... Incredible
This is absolutely my fav song that you have done. It is absolutely amazing. It brings chills to me every time I hear it. Thank you.
Beyond Beauty 😍 I loved this!
amazing as always.
This one's better than most of your other covers. Not saying that it has to do with your talent or anything like that, but the music sets itself a lot better on the piano.
