I stopped listening to Sting and saw your thumbnail for this song - it's a moment in history of a whole era in time - Chloe you got it - root and branch. Your harmony part is perfect. Roll with it all. Good luck.
I sprouted wings on S & G. I've heard them, played them, felt them all of my life. Your singing brings so much life into this experience and I thank you for sharing it with us and with me. Speak, no, Sing what you feel and I promise you: if you do this - if you feel your way through life like you did here then the rest of us will listen and be grateful. Please stay true to your heart and forget the rewards. Thank you.
She is gifted and caught the spirit of the era, I was in my teens when this came out. She took me back there. I would love to hand her my steel stringed Ovation and then switch them out for some DR skin, coated acoustic strings. Wonderful and gifted playing. I am grateful I caught it. TY
This is also one of my favorites. I was 17 years old when I went out on my own. That song made it a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. You have a marvelous voice.
I notice your Oasis album in the cupboard, Chloe! You must be an eclectic music fan! Great cover by a very beautiful young woman, 'YOU'! With Love - Mikey. XXX
you have a beautiful voice! wonderful job! could you please share the chords you used? i found a chord sheet online but its too low for ladies. id really appreciate it.
Thank you!! Of course, I used these chords - but transposed +7, (so starting on a G), with capo on 1! x tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/s/simon_garfunkel/america_ver5_crd.htm
That was beautiful Chloe! I commented on your Dua Lipa's cover last week, and now I've got time to watch your other videos :) Hope we can jam someday. Greetings from Brazil!
America was hailed as the land of opportunity and freedom. It is the land where people sought monetary prosperity, not the biblical prosperity, as in prosper even as your soul prospers, for what does it profit a man if he gains the world, but loses his soul. This is the song that both heralds and mourns the death of the American dream. It sum's up the story in just a few words. See how strikingly in contrast, the beginning and the ending are. The song starts off with ,"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together", and ends with, "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why". If you choose monetary prosperity, the price is always, moral bankruptcy. Do not put your confidence and your faith and your trust, in money. Do not desire or learn to value and to treasure silver and gold, more than freedom.
Thank you! Yes, I absolutely love Joni Mitchell and that song, I actually did a rough cover of it ages ago which I never uploaded - I might have to do a proper one soon! :)
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together I've got some real estate here in my bag So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies And we walked off to look for America Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh Michigan seems like a dream to me now It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw I've gone to look for America Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said, be careful, his bowtie is really a camera Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat We smoked the last one an hour ago So I looked at the scenery She read her magazine And the moon rose over an open field Cathy, I'm lost, I said though I knew she was sleeping And I'm empty and aching and I don't know why Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all come to look for America All come to look for America All come to look for America
Excellent voice...reminescent of Jewel. I enjoyed your interpretation. BTW, Walk-down chords do not include Dmaj. Try Em/D al la sheet music and ultimate guitar tabs.

Beautiful job. Interesting key, G#?
Nice to see when a cover is done right. Interpreted well and not twisted into something else.

Oh my goodness! 😊
Really great job Chloe. I would love to hear more.. Did you ever think to doing a cover of Both Sides Now?
Thank you! Yes, I absolutely love Joni Mitchell and that song, I actually did a rough cover of it ages ago which I never uploaded - I might have to do a proper one soon! :)
Look at the Eric Carmen song too it's hard to sing but a great song . There are a few covers from people on the Voice.
awesome
Still waiting to hear "Both Sides Now
Catched the era.
thank you :)
Another song I think you would kill is "All by Myself" by Eric Carmen
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And we walked off to look for America
Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said, be careful, his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery
She read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Cathy, I'm lost, I said though I knew she was sleeping
And I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

Nice voice

Sweet ...
Your dynamic is great, by the way.
What a lovely girl. I am in love 💗
Ok, this is just as good, if not better, than your "Delete" cover.
Haha thank you!!

Chloe, why not write your own songs?
Weak. Lacking in passion
素晴らしい演奏ですね🎵✨(^_^)
