There are lots of reasons why this song is special. I first played this arrangement for a bridal procession at a wedding around 6-7 years ago, for a lovely couple called Hershil and Krupa. It was such a fun and original idea that I kept playing it at weddings after that, and it became a staple of my modern repertoire. Then last July I played this during the wedding ceremony of my friends Alice and Chance. I hadn't realised until later that evening that it was also their first dance, as this song is particularly special to Chance. It was a really beautiful moment and I was honoured to have made another connection with this timeless song.
I have arranged the upload of this video with Alice as a surprise for Chance, to mark their anniversary. Surprise dude!! :D
Adding the finger clicks to this arrangement seemed like the obvious way to get a sense of the great percussion backing from the original song into this version, and seems deceptively easy to do until you start trying to add in all of the vocal line to the right hand too! Playing this over the years has definitely helped me to improve my finger click tone and consistency, although the keen-eared may notice a difference in pitch between my right and left hands that I honestly can't explain to you. The bassline is equally simple sounding but fiddly to execute, and relies on a "clean up" method whereby each finger is replaced as the next plays in order to stop previous notes from ringing. This is a technique I've borrowed from my former Jazz Harp professor and general idol, the magnificent Park Stickney.

Alice & Chance - for your inspiring love story. x

I love the sass behind evey finger snap.
The fact that you can see the strings vibrate in waves is so cool!!!
Hannah L it's the rolling shutter effect
I dont seee a fucking thing just listening
It's due to the rolling shutter of her camera, it's just an optical illusion.
@@LoreSka , not really an illusion, strings do vibrate, but our eyes could not really see it in reality :)

Wow...I had no idea that snapping fingers can add so much to the music. A gorgeous performance that made me instantly become a fan of harp!!! Thank you! Oh, and the filming and the lighting are also great!
...and she gets such a great, crisp snap, from both hands!!!
You believe too easily!
Oh, to have young, agile fingers like yours again.
When somebody becomes a master of their instrument, then they can play and develop new things and arrangements of high quality, its wonderful... Amy puts her heart into her original pieces, and it can be felt.
Well done! I didn't realize the harp could get this far into jazz territory.
I don't think people typically consider the harp as versatile but Amy keeps showing that it absolutely is! Also...1:54 - 2:27 - best part! :D
It's cool how you're able to flick strings and snap your fingers at the same time! Keep up the good work!
Your style, skill, and grace never cease to amaze me.
love the lighting on this one
I danced to my husband the night of our wedding to this beautiful song. Thanks for bringing such fond memories back. You’re amazing!
Amy’s performances touch your soul. Bless her. ✊✊✊
Abso-frikkin-lutely amazing! Thank you! I love the way you did this in shadow! Also loved watching the lower strings vibrate against the light background!
So beautiful. As it was playing one of our cats almost entered a zen like state! XD really lovely, thank you.
GIRL...You done it !!! I'm from Detroit, 74 years old. Awesome ! Much Thanks.
Woooww!! No words. Fantastic, wonderful!!🤩🥰 Thank you so much for this beautiful performance, Amy!!🙏👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love and peace for you, from Brazil! ☮️💙💜💚💛🇧🇷
Wow Amy. You are a Godsend. Beautiful. Just beautifully played. Ben E. King would be so proud!
This feels like poetry on strings🥰🥰🥰
I will never forget this particular arrangement. Absolutely beautiful!
Amen... Creation is best music in this world!
Cannot stop listening. Somehow this is something i sorely needed in my world right now. Thank you Amy. Truly beautiful.
If I close my eyes, you bring my mind to a time of huge temples and large columns and a calm pool of water, just a sense of heaven on Earth ❤️
Chapeau !! J'ai joué la harpe pendant quelques années quand j'étais enfant... il y a maintenant 60 ans (j'avais 5 ans quand j'ai commencé) et il me fait toujours plaisir quand je l'écoute. J'ai adoré votre jeu. Merci.
This is too beautiful for words. But here are some nonetheless.
This is gorgeous! The finger snapping is so engaging!!
Much love from south korea. Very good.
For such an accomplished harpist, playing this simple melody must be a piece of cake.
As always your music brings me such joy with every piece you make
Stand by me is one of my favorite songs! I love this harp version!
Beautiful arrangement of a great, classic song. Thank you Amy.
This is the music for our soul! Love it!
Brilliant arrangement 👏👏👏
One of my all time favs such a classic. Its really pleasant to hear it played by the harp. give the song a different feeling :)
This is so beautiful, I am moved to tears
Beautiful thank you for lifting my soul with your gift.
I loved that song since I was young when the old film came out a long time ago, you did a great version of it, thanks for sharing all your music it's so relaxing, I'm Irish so harp music resonates in my blood,
Amazing inventiveness in this arrangement.
I can't even tell you how much I adore this song, Amy, specifically the way you play it. I am going to buy your arrangement, and even if it takes me years, I'm going to learn how to play it. As a beginner-level harpist, I am so happy and thankful to hear this type of music played so well on a harp. Thank you for the music you choose to play.
I'm slowly melting...
Videos are continually getting better. Props.
So amazing.
I loved the video of her harp and skilled hands, so talented and awesome!
This is wonderful! I cant even snap my fingers at all, and the left hand is amazing. So beautiful! Thanks for the great music.
Just wonderful.
Just beautiful
HERMOSO!!! TUS MANOS SON DE ANGEL..
Love your rendition!
listening to your performances these past few days seem to have relieved my difficulty in sleeping.
Impeccable coordination!
I can't stop watching this, it's the best version ever 💖 Thanks Amy 😄
The vibration of the strings is the same of my heart 💙
it's my favourite song and version

Нереально как то...волшебно!!!
Beautiful shadowplay and interpretation! Thanks

Beautiful and mesmerizing ❤
Just beautiful. 👍🏻
De mis melodías favoritas, excelentemente interpretada e ingeniosamente acompañada, mucho éxito, saludos desde México
You even snap your fingers better than any mortal! Such impressive talent! Your covers are always so amazing!
Gilberto M. Morales De León Thanks! Not as well as MJ but I'm still practising!
MARAVILHOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Incredible.
Very cool is the combination of bass, melody and snapping with your fingers.
Loved the iconic song and a beautiful interpretation, adds another dimension to my enjoyment of the song - thank you
2년만에 다시 이 음악(Amy Turk님이 하프로 연주한 "Stand By Me") 잘 듣고, 연주 영상도 잘 보고 가네요. 지금 들어도 예전에 들었던 감동은 여전하네요.
그럼, 이 음악을 듣는 모든분들 행복한 시간 되세요.
so beautiful.....wowwww Love it!!
You are incredibly talented. The way you play gives me goosebumps. It is so heavenly and emotional. Thank you for sharing these videos, it made my day. Never heard such beauty, you are the best harp player I have ever heard.
I think that this harp cover is better than original song. Really!!
Beautiful video, the lighting somehow makes your playing all the more special. 👏👏
Thank you for your music, amy turk.
Beautiful work/play - many decades ago I played organ in an R&B group - this was a staple of our songlist - in one particular club this song would be the whole set - 45 mins or more!! whenever we began to wind it down the dancers would hiss and groan and make it clear we were not stopping !! it is a wonderful feeling when your audience enjoys your performance as much as we enjoyed performing it - thanks for plucking the memories.
Utterly wonderful. Thank you, Amy.
So many nuances of the band captured in two hands.
Perfect ! Thank you Amy it's beautiful !
LOVE... IT!!
This is fantastic, well done!
Superb! Thank you for sharing your talents. You are so rhythmic! What a gift!
still amazing cover from you!! bravo !
Love it!
Amazingly BEAUTIFUL!
What I love about harps is that they combine all the defining features and range of all non bowed string instruments with that of a piano.
It's amazing what a single person can do with a harp.
Always so inspirational! Love your passion.
I stumbled across Amy doing a cover of Happy by Pharrell Williams ,and thought wow ! Brilliant, love the use of hand strikes to emulate the drum sounds ,that's unique as far as I'm aware ,but then tbf iv not really listened to Harp music much .
Hence why I'm here checking out the rest of her work .Bravo .
Being as I used to play drums many years ago (Although I haven't played for decades now ) I am a tapper ,I have a habit of tapping drum beats all the time lol .on my knees ,steering wheel of the car , kitchen counter ,you name it lol ..😂👍😁🎶
Superbe prestation.Merci.
me encanta
So nice I had to watch it twice. Thanks Amy.😻
Amy, thank you so much. I've spent the last year or so watching you play all kinds of music and making each piece sound fresh and exciting.
It's not just your technical virtuosity that amazes me, it's also the emotion you inject into pieces heard a hundred times before. You truly have
been blessed with a very rare gift. I wish you great (and well-deserved) success in the future......... From a sad old man who loves music but
can't even whistle in tune.
This cover caused a big smile on my face. Thanks, u are amazing!!!
Mesmerizing!
Beautifully done!
Wonderful visual of music
Muito bom ver os seus vídeos, admirável, obrigado.
Que incrível! Linda!
me encantaaaaa
Genuinely beautiful cover!
This is wonderful!
Big Smile ! Thank You Again !
Amazing!
Wonderful, you have a gift.
Excellent interpretation!
This is awesome
I am pretty impressed with her ability to keep the rhythm and snapping going and still and and play so beautifully. Loved the cinematography as well.
You should watch her rendition of Toto's "Africa"
Thank you very much for this beautiful rendition. You made my day one more time. I´m listening to you from Mexico :)
