I don't know if I can express this or not, I'll try. So I'm in the kitchen prepping dinner, stereo playing, this song comes on and I freeze, overcome with the sensation of being swept back like the rush of a wormhole and an almost unbearable desire to be immersed again in the zeitgeist of 1975, summertime in the Texas hill country when music was everything. I'm not even a Led Zeppelin fan but this song was in heavy rotation on nascent FM stations and I always thought it might be beautiful done by someone other than Robert Plant ... and sure enough it is. What a superb rendition, I've listened to it every day since you posted it. Your voice, the hypnotic accompaniment - well, I'm a moth to flame. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Yes, hypnotic is exactly the word for it! I was thinking of a way to explain her version of this, and that perfectly sums it up. This is one of my favorite songs, and I could not love this rendition any more. So good.
I was only 6 months old when IV was released so I don't remember when "Going to California" first came out. But I remember the very first time I heard it in 1981. I can tell you, I will remember the first time I heard this version. Different than the original, but familiar like an old friend. Hauntingly beautiful! Thank you for recording this!
I heard this rendition yesterday, and for the first time. The word I'd use to describe it is "ethereal" - not only her singing and playing, but also the accompaniment, in particular the drone vocal. Incredible.
Well said. What a wonderful rendition. When I was 35 years old, I was talking to a someone in their teens and mentioned Led Zeppelin and they said who? It was at that point that I knew I was old. Now over 30 years later, it is wonderful to see young musicians keeping Great music alive!
Oh my goodness. This is the most beautiful rendition I have EVER heard. I’m a heavy duty Led Zep fan, and this is one of my favorites. Until today I thought nothing could top Robert Plant’s acoustic version of this one, but girl you might have him beat. It’s as if the original version is a carved, beautifully varnished wooden instrument, and you’ve carefully and respectfully stripped it down to reveal the beauty of the grain. Stunning. Couldn’t be more perfect.
I also just recently found these two, and it's all I've been listening to. They cover songs from bands I really like that stand alongside the originals (and often surpass them). I am enchanted by Sierra's singing, and the arrangements are perfect.
@k2thepeak , not at all. Would still be nice to see her with more recognition than she gets. With that said, I guess the only important measure of success is if she's content with what she's doing.
@@fatfredthe28th Yeah, I agree especially given her age and the gem she is (and Chase). It does seem the world is missing out. But, YT is one of the best venues to get her heard.
My household growing up was Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the Stones! I'm almost 59, still a Diehard Stones fan. My sister, 64 into the Beatles, still. And, my brother, 62...LOVES Led Zeppelin! I can't wait to share this with him.
It's a beautiful interpretation of that song. I grew up in the 70s, but I'm not sure they were happier times Vietnam War,, Kent State, and Nixon come immediately to mind. If you were anywhere near Boston, Mass in the 70s, Boston was rearing its prejudiced head.
@@craighermle7727 Saying the present is awesome is easy to do also. At least in the near past, we did not have AIDS, Covid-19, like I said school shootings, mass shootings, trans confusion where people do not know whether they are a boy or a girl, men marrying men, forced diversity, increasing crime and no one hardly goes to jail for crime anymore, massive obesity, poverty, hunger, political strife, ect. I could go on and on about this if I cared to. I usually do not like romanticizing the past and it can irritate me when I read others doing it sometimes but if I really think about it.... the past was better, and things seem to be getting worse.
If a Soul had an actual Voice , it would be this Beautiful Woman's . This rendition hit me so hard in the Heart Strings that I think I may have broken one , Honest to God 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖
It takes a very special kind of brilliance to perform a cover of an old, very familiar song and make people feel as if it is the first time in their entire life that they’re hearing it. Thanks, Sierra!
For the entire song my heart was lifted above everything to soar like a bird through blue skies and wisps of white clouds. With tears welling in my eyes as the song ends, I wished for your voice and the music to carry on forever. Thank you for removing the stresses of the world allowing a peace I haven't felt for a long time to settle in. Thank you for allowing us to experience this beautiful cover of this song.
Sierra is AN ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL in her expression and execution of this amazing classic. I still enjoy lots of Led Zeppelin… But this musician is PURE! Blow Away……..
Not blowing smoke when I say... Every song you cover, you make better than the original... You have become my favorite vocalist... Dyyyying to hear what original work you put out next.. 🥰
a week ago I bumped into her voice, so real compare other people pretending they sing , she sings purely... it is Saturday night and I think I can listen at her hours in a row til time to go to bed.... You truly an angel miss Sierra
Sitting in the middle of the woods in Arkansas as a hurricane blows though with thunder and lightning listening to this angelic voice singing along with the mayhem. I love your voice so much Sierra! Please don't stop what you're doing
So worth the wait Sierra ! What an incredible rendition of one of Zeppelin's most listened to ballads in 1971 ; In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked "Going to California" number 11 on their list of the 40 greatest Led Zeppelin songs of all time. Thank-you 🎸🎶
Maybe that "woman" was born. After all she plays guitar and sings, la la la la. Incredible piece of work Miss Sierra, thank you for sharing. You took on a task most wouldn't and you did it sooo beautifully. Your cover is forever a part of my soul ! So much appreciated.
60 yr old been zeppelin fan since I was single digits - I see these cover versions and people comment that they are so great and I think - come on get serious . - This is absolutely beautiful she does not try to recreate Zeppelin - she plays this in a key for her voice - fabulous . so glad I listened !
The 70's were my teenage years. I now know today, the music I took for granted then was magical. Thank you Sierra. Page and Plant were just a once in a lifetime.
First time running across this artist! And I accentuate the word artist. Gorgeous rendition, instrumentals, voice overs, harmonies...Very well done. I reccomended this video to others... and I subscribed to this musical talent.
Sierra Eagleson, your talent is exceptional, and your spirit dances with anyone privileged to listen to you perform. Thank you. It was a fantastic way to start my day. This is the second time I have listened to your rendition.
I've heard this song covered many times. Almost everyone tries to emulate Led Zeppelin when doing this song, and some amazingly well. Striving to emulate that band is understandable. However, Sierra Eagleson chose to make her rendition her very own. She accomplished this beautifully, and expanded the definition of what this song could be. Well done.
The woman who has never been born has been born. Her name is Sierra Eagleson. She is here, with us now. Thank you Sierra, this song brings a tear to my eye, and I'm certain I'm not alone.
I’ve loved this song from its birth and I must say it has been born again! What a beautiful cover. There isn’t anything about your version that shouldn’t have been done. You most definitely gave new emotions to this classic. I would enjoy your version of stairway to heaven.
You have the voice of a heavenly being, absolutely beautiful. I didn't imagine anyone could sing this with as much feeling as Robert Plant but you have.
If heard different versions of this song but this is the perfect one. It feels so true to the soul of the song. Like it was written just for her. I love Joni Mitchell and this version is so reminiscent of Joni and how she sung. Just so stunning and elevates the original.
This is very, very great rendition of this piece and moreover for me, I so appreciate some of the young people of today who still appreciate the music that came from the early 70's. I was about 16 when this was released. At that time, Jimmy, Jeff and Carlos were my idols. Thanks! You did an outstanding performance! Donn the Bear.
This lady brings a sensitivity and sexuality to this song that defies imagination. God does this take me back so many years, good times, good friends and great music. This is now on my must play list. Robert would be proud of you Sierra.
I havent seen this one before, its just beautiful. The guitars have a GIANT sound and the song has such a good flow. That the word that comes to mind after listening to it here. Always an amazing song. Thank You Rolling Stones for giving us so much magic! RIP Charlie Watts
![Led Zeppelin - Going To California (Live at Earls Court 1975) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nhVfuacsLDw/mqdefault.jpg)
Every time I hear her voice I can't believe how beautiful it is. I have heard many voices in my life, but this one is a true gift from God.
Yes! You said it!
Don’t lie
It seems effortless for her.
Fantastic voice.
Incredible voice and arrangement!!
YES. 🙏🙏💖💖💖

Nothing like the Texas Hill Country- still here after 50+ years

Me too , we already know these gems like the back of our hand and she gives it new life 😊
@@DianaArmstrongZook Agreed! We share an old Friend.
I'm glad you said that,We older that is when I say We don't complement younger Artists enough

I feel the same way. It’s good to know the beautiful music lives on in the young.
I think Robert Plant would be happy to hear this sung so beautifully.
I don’t!
@@michaelkeenan3437 Thanks for sharing
@@michaelkeenan3437 Robert sings it so much better. No comparison.
Well, that was a treat. Thank you UA-cam for randomly showing me this clip.
Go Trump
@@paulyosef7550friend, it’s time to cut Trump loose and return to decency.
@@Shovel-om7kn Lol
I'm 71 and remember when this came out and rushed to get the album. This is beyond outstanding. Thanks so much.
I remember when this album came out. I'm 65.
I feel this. I’m also cooking dinner and this popped up and caught me so fast and hard, yet soft at the same time.
Those were indeed the halcyon days of music, and my youth, as far as this old rock and roller is concerned.
A voice floats amoung the trees, kisses on the wind, haunting, lilted, ethereal....
@magik.... Your way with words is onomatopoetic (: your comment)
captivating..
Go Brandon🤢
Moving....to say the least.

Change your diaper.😂
Check out the “Rain Song” by Chiara Kilchling!!
Huge Zeppelin fan and put this in their top 10 list. She owns the song. I hope Plant has seen this and loved it as much as we do.
I could not have said it better. My sentiments precisely....
When you love music, this is nourishment for your soul.
You are so correct .
I just heard 99% more of the lyrics than I have heard in the last 50 years.
lol? 😂me too!
Me too!
Yes...true!
Well stated
😂😂😂
Voice like Norah Jones, expressions like Eddie Vedder, song choice - Led Zeppelin. This is top stuff!
omg never noticed the Eddieisms
This is what the internet is for. What a great version of this song.
Finally got through all the nudie pics and cat photos. The dig was worth it.
Exactly, this and youpooorn. Let's give it some credit as well.
No tiktok shit! I agree this is what internet for!
Dear God...some people have a poet's heart and benevolent soul. Sierra, thank you for sharing...
Folk roots…gentle breezes…quiet contemplation…summer shimmering…thank you.
It's criminals she's isn't selling millions of albums. Absolutely phenomenal.
I don’t know. Is that the only measure of artistic success that matters? I struggle with this question every day.
@k2thepeak , not at all. Would still be nice to see her with more recognition than she gets. With that said, I guess the only important measure of success is if she's content with what she's doing.

70 years old, never heard a better sound. Thank You.

pure joy . takes us back to free happier times . The world needs this especially now

@@craighermle7727 So compared to then, wars are gone, bad Presidents are gone, no more shootings and prejudice is gone. I don't think so.

With the Robert Plant hair and everything! Awesome work - thank you!
That mean Immigrant Song is NEXT!!!!! GOLDEN GOD!!!
I must say, Sierra is both gorgeous and the most beautiful singing voice I've heard in many years.
Incredibly beautiful version of this song. Thank you.

Just amazing. Lighting, production, mix, groove, arrangement, but most importantly the performance. Y'all are just doing amazing stuff.
doesn't get any better than when she sings "in the air tonight" whilst playing the piano....❤️🙏
It's stunning isn't it ❤
A beautiful cover of an absolute classic.
Sierra is AN ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL in her expression and execution of this amazing classic.
I still enjoy lots of Led Zeppelin… But this musician is PURE!
Blow Away……..
Warm as California sun. My favorite Zeppelin song. Yours is just as good. 🌞
Words fail me, spell bound, hypnotised , taken on a journey, don’t want this to stop, beautiful.
Perfect rendition, softly whispered as a beautiful Swansong!
So many great musicians that we don't hear enough of.
Wow. I’ve just melted. How chilled is that vocal and sound? Just beautiful
Oh melty boy, go Brandon
I think about ten thousand of the views are my husband's, and the last one was mine. This is absolutely spectacular.
Not blowing smoke when I say... Every song you cover, you make better than the original... You have become my favorite vocalist... Dyyyying to hear what original work you put out next.. 🥰
Beautiful voice. I love this version of Going to California. I’m a big Led Zeppelin fan and this rendition is fabulous in my opinion.👍👍🇨🇦
Who isn’t a big Led Zeppelin fan? Who isn’t a big Beatles fan or Pink Floyd. Thanks for telling the obvious in case we forgot.
My favorite Zeppelin tune.
WONDERFULLY DONE!!!
my favorite too…
I keep coming back to this cover. It’s beautiful!
Dear God, thank You for such beautiful and talented soul. Every single cover is just beautiful, warm, soulful and uplifting. Every single one.
Sierra, your voice is mesmerizing, hypnotic.
Hands down, the best cover of this song ever! Maybe best version ever!
Sierra as a Zeppelin fan this rendition is incredible! I can’t stop listening to it and it’s beauty! Love it so much !
Agreed, so beautiful ❤
I wish I could give this a thousand likes. Simply amazing.
I could listen to this all day. Food for the soul.
This has to be the most heartfelt cover of this song I have ever heard. Once can only describe it as magical...
To see Sierra live, would mean all cell phones away, people in their seats, and an absolute hushed audience.
Excactly
Aaaw...☺️🥰
What freakishly great harmonies on this golden song.
Sierra this was killer.
It took me back to that time 1975 when I was 15 and heard this song. Very well done!
Sierra has a gift to find a hidden essence within a song and express it beautifully...
isn't really hidden
Ich finde nur ein Wort....wunderschön...bin froh Deine faszinierende Musik gefunden zu haben. So pur und natürlich in Ihrer Schönheit 😍
I think what some of the newer Artists are doing is mindbinding I hope that's right I'm 60

Beautiful song.
One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, gorgeous Sierra!
The only track performed so well, I get chills. Very rare.
THAT is something to be proud of.
Going through some shit. Nothing makes me calmer than your music. Thank you more than you know.

Sierra, just an absolutely stunning arrangement. The vocal resonance is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.
You are a ray of light shining through the musical darkness. Great work, young Lady.

Magnificent. I'm now 70 but I bought this album when it came out.❤
Gave me chills, loved everything! Picking, vocal and it all coming together as so much more. Will share this for sure.
Her singing lifts my spirit
One of my all time favorite songs. Just loving it more now. Thank you.❤
This version of this song is just magical! I love that gently rolling guitar melody!
Never fail to be impressed with your vocals, just a true artist in every sense. Keep rocking out Sierra ✌
She calms my soul, after a cancer diagnosis...so love her voice!!
