Spirit of my silence I can hear you, but I'm afraid to be near you And I don't know where to begin And I don't know where to begin Somewhere in the desert there's a forest, and an acre before us But I don't know where to begin But I don't know where to begin Again I lost my strength completely, oh be near me tired old mare With the wind in your hair Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable? Well I suppose a friend is a friend And we all know how this will end Chimney swift that finds me be my keeper, silhouette of the cedar What is that song you sing for the dead What is that song you sing for the dead I see the signal searchlight strike me, in the window of my room Well I got nothing to prove Well I got nothing to prove I forgive you mother I can hear you, and I long to be near you But every road leads to an end Yes every road leads to an end Your apparition passes through me, in the willows and five red hens You'll never see us again You'll never see us again
Thank you everyone for all these incredibly sweet comments ❤️ it really means a lot and helps me to keep going as a musician in these strange lockdown times, so a virtual hug to you all! 🤗
After the amazing musical intro I thought: Well, this is just magical but I bet she can't sing... nope, you absolutely can... I love this. All of this is perfect. I'm blown away.
i'm quite literally obessed with this cover. The xylophone brings something so magical and flowwy and your voice and diction oh my lord. IT WORKS SO WELL FOR THIS SONG . words actually cant explain how beautiful this cover is.
I was listening to covers of this song and yours is the best by far. Not only for the technical difficulty but also for the voice itself. Congratulations from Italy
I have no words. You are incredibly skilled AND the musicality of your voice and playing on top of that is astounding. Thank you for sharing, it's inspiring.
This is a wonderful performance. I loved the vibes that were radiating from this video. Honestly I am a little perplexed that why this video and and your channel has not been more getting more attention but hope time proves that wrong. Anyways good luck and my heartly wishes to your future works and projects. 😉👍
This was very moving to me. A wonderful interpretation of an already unbearably touching song, by a talented musician and so impressive to sing so beautifully whilst playing. Thank you for taking the time to rehearse, film and post this for us.
Thank you so much for striving through those technical difficulties… your own interpretation of Sufjan’s masterpiece was absolutely beautiful to watch and listen to!
Coming back to say that I've watched this at least 20 times now. So lovely, thank you so much! It's crazy how this cover is so true to the original, yet you've made it entirely your own. Wow
Spirit of my silence I can hear you, but I'm afraid to be near you
And I don't know where to begin
And I don't know where to begin
Somewhere in the desert there's a forest, and an acre before us
But I don't know where to begin
But I don't know where to begin
Again I lost my strength completely, oh be near me tired old mare
With the wind in your hair
Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?
Well I suppose a friend is a friend
And we all know how this will end
Chimney swift that finds me be my keeper, silhouette of the cedar
What is that song you sing for the dead
What is that song you sing for the dead
I see the signal searchlight strike me, in the window of my room
Well I got nothing to prove
Well I got nothing to prove
I forgive you mother I can hear you, and I long to be near you
But every road leads to an end
Yes every road leads to an end
Your apparition passes through me, in the willows and five red hens
You'll never see us again
You'll never see us again
This is insane. I did plenty of 4 mallet in high school but I never even imagined trying to sing at the same time. True skill.
Thank you everyone for all these incredibly sweet comments ❤️ it really means a lot and helps me to keep going as a musician in these strange lockdown times, so a virtual hug to you all! 🤗

Sufjan would cry with joy. Amazing!
Said "whoa" aloud as this started playing
Those ppl walking by didn't even know.....magic behind the glass
My god, I can't even express how amazing this is. Your voice has such perfect tone and diction. This performance completely floored me

this is just so beautiful.. my mom just passed away four days ago, and i think she would smile if she heard this song
Same, Sanne Sanne, this song always hits me hard too. And I'd like to believe Sufjan would love this cover; it's truly beautful.
this is seriously one of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard,, holding back tears rn!
Lovely interpretation. The xylophones really convey the layers of feeling in the song.
Respect. That song requires such delicacy and care, but you did it justice. Keep at it.

WTF!!!! THIS IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!
My goodness. The technical skill this requires has me impressed. Lovely cover of a that floats on the river of grief.
