Nocturnal, well it really was not that long ago, when U2 launched their "Joshua Tree" album that included this classic, performed beautifully by Sarah. Having said that, I understand the nostalgia for far away yesterday's when life seemed much more lovely with endless possibilities.
@@deanmitchell9568I have been a devout fan of Sarah's from the beginning of her career... If you enjoyed her U2 cover, you'll likewise enjoy her original music, I'm sure!.. Here's a link to most of her cover work: secondhandsongs.com/artist/46838/covers Astonishingly, each of her covers seem to me, a necessary and intended addendum to the original...Perhaps my Jarosz fandom gushes a bit too much, but she is musical perfection to me :)
Agreed. I still hold her cover(s) of Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song" as one of the most amazing covers I have ever heard in any genre. And there are a number of other examples including this one. I think part of it is that she only seems to cover songs she loves and feels deeply in her heart, and thus wants to make sure she treats them as they deserve.
I love U2, and I typically cannot stand when their stuff is covered. But this is different. This version gives me the same goosebumps as the original. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you Sarah!
I hate to be the downer but I have to comment that the woman sounds as if she can't sing good. Maybe she can rap but this version is terrible. Maybe she just need practice but she sounds off key for the song she is singing. I understand that some people can't sing like me for example, I can't hit the high notes of a song but I have good rhythm. So I had to dislike this version.
We have a new contestant!!! Putri Ariani just sang this song on Americas Got Talent and advanced to the finals for the whole competition. It's was a masterful performance
If you think this is better than U2 you are obviously not a fan of U2. The original version is an amazing multi-layered pitch-perfect masterpiece. This one is very good, but it's a completely different song which can't possibly be compared to the original. Apples and oranges.
@@RickDeckardMemories What would be the sense of comparing, when any artist covers a song ultimately they are paying homage to the original artist. Sarah is a beautiful singer and amazing instrumentalist who possesses and old souls love of music. I prefer Sarah's cover based on the fact that she is probably my favorite artist making music today and although I am a fan, I wouldn't list U2 in that same category for me personally. My guess is that they are probably among Sarah's favorites though and that's all that matters. And your description of the original as multi layered is spot on, it's what makes it such a dynamic song.
@@RickDeckardMemories I agree w/r/t cover vs original. A matter of personal taste, of course, but I gotta have the propulsive percussion, the jangly guitar layers, vocal harmonies, and the big cri de coeur quality of Bono's delivery vs Sarah's quiet, plaintive reading (lovely as it is).
After the day I had trying to teach online school with the system randomly failing, the technical issues, the kids losing their minds... I needed this. Thank you.
2020 has been a shitshow and I'm more stressed than ever. My fiance and I are going through our own issues. But hearing this just evaporated a great weight off of my shoulders and my mind. I want to listen to this on repeat forever. Thank you Sarah, you are a Goddamn national treasure.
We have a new contestant!!! Putri Ariani just sang this song on Americas Got Talent and advanced to the finals for the whole competition. It's was a masterful performance
I’m 66 years old and I’ve seen a lot of great musicians in my life. Except for this one. Sarah is truly one of the finest singer / songwriters I’ve ever heard. Praying for a tour to roll my way sometime soon.
If you see a tour coming, jump on it! I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Ms. J at a small but acoustically perfect concert hall that had been built for speeches after the Civil War. She and 2 other players filled that hall with sound, and it was special.
I'm by no means a "U2 fan", but I've always appreciated that song. I honestly never imagined it so sweet and vulnerable... Almost fragile in its beauty, but so incredibly powerful in the delivery of the "triumphant" parts. The balance of strength and weakness in the lyrics was conveyed PERFECTLY with that beautiful voice. I went in expecting another ill conceived cover and quite literally couldn't look away. I don't think that song could be done any better by anyone else. Period!
We have a new contestant!!! Putri Ariani just sang this song on Americas Got Talent and advanced to the finals for the whole competition. It's was a masterful performance
I met Sarah probably at least 7 to 8 years ago at a show. She was a sweetheart! She still is! She is extremely talented! I remember during the concert she made the comment that her parents were always jealous because she technically shares a birthday with the great Bob Dylan! I love her Talent and I love her songs!.... Sarah, you're awesome on stage when I seen you and heard you play and sing, you were absolutely amazing and it was a pleasure to meet you and you even autographed my 7 inch 45 record of "My Muse" and I cherish that moment and I cherish that record and it gets played quite often!
For the first time in my (rather longish now) life, the lyrics of this song were brought right to the front by Sarah. These covers are such a brilliantly refreshing change each week. Indeed, as others have said below, Sarah's music continues to bring light and hope into the grey (and smokey!) times of Covid. Where there is excellence in music like this, there is hope for tomorrow!
I love how you pay tribute to the Edge"s guitar playing in your octave mandolin part, while at the same time, playing something that is completely new and creative! This is great. Your playing and your voice are so beautiful!!!
Ive seen Sarah 4 times live. She is an astounding performer. I cant wit till this Covid thing is over so we all can see her live again. Thank you so much for your skill,art and beauty. We all love you!
When Sarah sings ..... she is more than mortal .... she becomes an angel .... a conduit of divine beauty. --- Some people choose to sing. But the music chose Sarah.
Oh my word! Mere words cannot express my feelings I'm feeling right now-- THAT was emotional, uplifting and so very beautiful ❤ 💖 Bono probably didn't realize at the time how he struck a chord w/ his and U2's audience,Timeless stuff, simply in a word, capturing the essence of this era in history of not only popular music, but it's what I call 'Lightning in a bottle' never 2 be repeated again in our lifetime-- Rick from East Tn
Didn't know I liked any U2 songs until I heard this! The purity of your voice is really beautiful and I am also impressed by your guitar playing. Thank you!
She has a great right hand and she has great rhythm, plus her voice, banjo playing (which I Love), her song "House of Mercy" has her voice in greatness, along with some gret guitar work! This song just ended...insert 👏👏👏
No comparisons to the past and no your sound sounds like this or that. Sarah Jarosz you are just amazing great! Your musicianship and your vocal ability is just killin it. Thank-you for that.
Wow I was blown out of my chair! I gotta say, I don't really care much for U2, but this was from another stratosphere. Simply amazing! Thanks so much Sarah...
We have a new contestant!!! Putri Ariani just sang this song on Americas Got Talent and advanced to the finals for the whole competition. It's was a masterful performance
Oh yes , she brings a sweetness that even the original doesnt have. . (but in reference to the delay pedal - for me personally, nothing reaches my soul like the 'delay pedal' sound , and the 'echo'.. "cha- ching cha-ching cha-ching.." : )
Well that's nonsense. It's a fine version but it in no way holds a candle to the people who created the song. You could say that you are a folkie and not a rocker so this version appeals to your musical sensibilities. Fair enough! But it's insulting to the creators to equate Sarah's version with their own. I bet you dollars to doughnuts that Sarah feels the same way.
Wow Sarah...the playing is so beautiful and your voice carries me away.... Thank you for sharing this. Your natural calm and joy and yearning to connect with the magic of song are, to my ears, nectar. Thank you 1,000 times ten, times one thousand times. Huge smile on my face as usual after listening to you, although the tears on my face are still wet, the smile is winning.
I already really liked you. This song, your voice, … and now I see this video and you with a vintage looking arch-top in your hands… and now I love you.
This is the ONLY cover of a U2 song that anyone has ever fully ‘made their own’-so well down, Sarah! …and come on back to Tucson-we heard you at the Rialto this past spring, just so awesome…
Your voice takes me back to a time when life was sweet.
Now it is, again!
I Totally get wheat you mean
If we were still in a time of real music she would be the gem of any record label.
Nocturnal, well it really was not that long ago, when U2 launched their "Joshua Tree" album that included this classic, performed beautifully by Sarah. Having said that, I understand the nostalgia for far away yesterday's when life seemed much more lovely with endless possibilities.
She writes, plays and sings beautifully. An angel.
...one of the very few artist that can cover iconic songs, and make them her own in a most respectful and excellent way...
Well said I clicked the link to see how badly she was going to screw up one of my favorites songs but she did it justice I enjoyed it.
@@deanmitchell9568I have been a devout fan of Sarah's from the beginning of her career... If you enjoyed her U2 cover, you'll likewise enjoy her original music, I'm sure!..

Astonishingly, each of her covers seem to me, a necessary and intended addendum to the original...Perhaps my Jarosz fandom gushes a bit too much, but she is musical perfection to me :)
Every insomniac from here to Modesto has been successfully cured!!
I Agree.I would also add Richie Havens and Jose Feliciano to that list of artist that do justice to iconic cover tunes....She did a beautiful job !
Agreed. I still hold her cover(s) of Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song" as one of the most amazing covers I have ever heard in any genre. And there are a number of other examples including this one.

Stunning version. Talent at the peak of her generation.
Why is she not a Grammy winner??? Mass TALENT!!!!!❤
She is a Grammy winner. Ten nominations and four wins over the past 14 years.
I love U2, and I typically cannot stand when their stuff is covered. But this is different. This version gives me the same goosebumps as the original. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you Sarah!
You should hear her originals. U2 are my favorite band, and she's my favorite artist of the moment.
Check out Sarah's cover of Prince's 'Kiss'.
I only love U2 when their stuff is covered, with this cover being a prime example. I guess that makes me a bad person.
@@casperbetz1949 I hate U2. Can't stand them, don't know what it is. However this song reimagined by Sarah is amazing.
I hate to be the downer but I have to comment that the woman sounds as if she can't sing good. Maybe she can rap but this version is terrible. Maybe she just need practice but she sounds off key for the song she is singing. I understand that some people can't sing like me for example, I can't hit the high notes of a song but I have good rhythm. So I had to dislike this version.
This is probably the best, most magical cover of this song I've heard. So unique and pretty!
i don't know what to say, but, wtf this girl made? it was simple magical.
Just wonderful thank you
We have a new contestant!!! Putri Ariani just sang this song on Americas Got Talent and advanced to the finals for the whole competition. It's was a masterful performance
Every cover you perform is the BEST version of that song. Seriously.
It's superb, but not better than U2!
I agree totally
If you think this is better than U2 you are obviously not a fan of U2.
The original version is an amazing multi-layered pitch-perfect masterpiece.

Great language skills, Sir. And give Jesus a chance. SOON. Time is running out.
You go man,work it out or throw it away....
Dork
I stay alive for these moments. The Sarah has made a cover song better than the original moments.
Sara Watkins does it all the time too
You did a beautiful rendition!💖

This generation's Joni Mitchell.... I'm glad I've lived long enough to have discovered Sarah Jarosz.....
There's a slight controlled vibrato you do when you sing "still." It's very consistent and very very good. It gives me chills.
We have a new contestant!!! Putri Ariani just sang this song on Americas Got Talent and advanced to the finals for the whole competition. It's was a masterful performance
You have the most pure and beautiful voice. 😊
How would we nourish our souls during COVID without Sarah’s wonderful covers?
Nothing like Sarah to cover everyone from U2, Bob Dylan, Adele, Johnny Cash to every blue grass tune out there. What a range. Love you Sarah!
Wow. Just wow. Thank you for 3:30 of serenity in this crazy world.

I hadn’t realised what a terrific song this was. The best version I’ve heard. That wonderful duo, Sarah Jarosz and Fletcher Brock.
It is amazing how a song like this comes to life when an Amazing talent like Sarah gets her hands on it.

Didn't know I liked any U2 songs until I heard this! The purity of your voice is really beautiful and I am also impressed by your guitar playing. Thank you!
I think that is an octave mandolin. I love Sarah. Check out the songs from her Blue Heron album.
She has a great right hand and she has great rhythm, plus her voice, banjo playing (which I Love), her song "House of Mercy" has her voice in greatness, along with some gret guitar work! This song just ended...insert 👏👏👏
Thank you Sarah Jarosz for weaponizing one of the all time amazing songs (U2) with love.
The arch top acoustic is a great compliment to your beautiful voice.
Wow... The tempo, the melody, the cadence... Ethereal, cloudy, mystical... I am shocked at perfection. Please more...
Beautiful song, beautiful harmonies, beautiful people. It doesn’t get any better 😄🙏☯️❤️
Her arpeggio style picking is fresh.
No comparisons to the past and no your sound sounds like this or that. Sarah Jarosz you are just amazing great! Your musicianship and your vocal ability is just killin it. Thank-you for that.
Wow I was blown out of my chair! I gotta say, I don't really care much for U2, but this was from another stratosphere. Simply amazing! Thanks so much Sarah...
Crystal clear voice, perfect picking. I’m floating in air with this ✌🏼🎶☀️
Unbelievably fantastic!
You really get the point. At a variety of levels. Tone perfect, and emphasise right. Don't worry; neither have I.
Wow. You gotta get these on Spotify! I've loved them so much!
This is what happens when pure talent is honed by hours of practice. Stunning!
after 55 yrs of playing strings allI can say is WOW AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
8 string capo madness...just beautiful the guitar mandolin...NOICE!!!!
Now THAT is something I’ve been looking for. Thanks again Sarah.
Click your ad out of curiosity and wasn't disappointed great job!
Gorgeous. Impeccable. The dynamics...artistry you rarely hear. And wonderfully recorded.
I love your music. Thank you so very much.
...every lyric, sung from the heart.
Absolutely stunning version young Lady, thank you so much.
I am touched by your rendition. Thank you❤🙏❤

Beautiful ... just beautiful ... brings me to tears ...
Wow! What a gift to me! To find this song this morning makes this a good day.
the best cover of this song i have ever heard
OMG Sarah, I was not prepared for the incredible beauty you brought to this song !! Tears in my eyes.
An absolute stunning performance with your amazingly beautiful voice!!!!!!
masterful playing while singing with emotion and commitment. Beautiful
Simply beautiful.
Beautiful rendition . Bravo. Thank you for sharing your voice. ♥️
I want one of those Octave Mandolins. Gorgeous. Your voice and your playing is wonderful. Thank you,.
Making an anthem introspective takes talent and vision. Love it.
This, accompanied by some self examination stirs me to tears. Awesome, young lady. Awesome!
Definite keeper. Possibly best cover ever.
All that without a delay pedal! A really beautiful rendition. Request hereby submitted for "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.
oooh that would be a good one.
Or, "Don't Give Up".
I would love to hear Sarah sing 'In Your Eyes'. YES.
Oh yes , she brings a sweetness that even the original doesnt have. . (but in reference to the delay pedal - for me personally, nothing reaches my soul like the 'delay pedal' sound , and the 'echo'..
"cha- ching cha-ching cha-ching.."
: )
Yet Edge is a mega star 🤔
You will find it. Young lady. Great job. Bravooo
I like this better than the original.
Sarah tends to end up owning the songs of others she covers.
Not surprising. Everything she touches turns to friggin’ gold.
Well that's nonsense. It's a fine version but it in no way holds a candle to the people who created the song.

Way better than U2
Beautiful rendition of this classic song! What an angelic voice you have, Sarah!

I have never seen this eight-stringed instrument before, I'm definitely intrigued! Great cover, by the way!

Congratulations on the 2 Grammy noms! You're winning Americana Album of the Year for sure.... stunning! :)
Couldn't sleep last night. Got up real early. Turned on YT and found you in my lineup. VERY nice to meet you and hear your pure talent.
WOOOWWW! So amazing! Thank you for your so awesome art Sarah!
Sweet girl... You are a blessing. My goodness!
Tears in my eyes. How beautiful.
You are SO incredible. I would love to hear an album of your weekly covers.
Hey Sarah, I just wanted to say I absolutely love your voice and musical talents. Thank you for producing such great music for everyone to enjoy 🙂
OMG ... the sound!!
Goose bumps - just love her music making
OMG.... great cover. First time listener. Playing music 50 years, and I know "amazing" and youre it !!
First time on ACL at 18! Manod prodigy at 12... ua-cam.com/video/Z6-2i6uGV_0/v-deo.html
Wow. Her voice is such a blessing
Awesome Sarah !!! THANK YOU !!!
Beautiful! Love to see younger generations love and learn U2. My lifelong favorite band.
VERY well done. Seriously. Just beautiful.
I've been a U2 fan for years. This is a beautiful cover.
Love it , I cranked it . I will watch it again
Sarah is Awesome, I love her sounds & voice so much, so hope I get to a show & to meet her 1 day, she has won my heart & soul with her voice.
A musician at heart and a great performer!
I already really liked you. This song, your voice, … and now I see this video and you with a vintage looking arch-top in your hands… and now I love you.
The irony is that we found what we are looking for... More Sarah Jarosz!!
So very wonderful!
Absolutely fabulous! As usual!!!!
This is the ONLY cover of a U2 song that anyone has ever fully ‘made their own’-so well down, Sarah! …and come on back to Tucson-we heard you at the Rialto this past spring, just so awesome…
