I legit didn't think I'd ever hear a good cover of a Joanna song, but you managed to not only nail it, but with one of my all time favorite songs. What a beautiful rendition, thank you for sharing this.
This is the third wonderful cover of Emily I have found today on UA-cam. as others have said, it is wonderful to find artists willing to dedicate themselves to making this complex song (the most perfect poetic piece of the past twenty years) their own. Thanks towse!
I've told all the people that matter that this is the song I want played on my deathbed. I'm with you on the literal #1 favorite. I've taken a break from listening to it, lest I completely wear it out, but this take was fresh in a way that made my eyes well up at the "dumbstruck with the sweetness of being" like the original used to on my earliest listens. Thank you!
This is the best Newsom cover I've ever heard, and I've been a fan since 2005! I was lucky enough to have seen her in concert before Ys and she's really a once in a lifetime talent. Any chance of a Cosmia cover? Have a great day
please miss leave a crumb of talent seriously though this is unbelievably good i would love to hear you play it on an acoustic piano some time, absolutely incredibly well done
Towse, you know how much I respect and love you!! Never, ever give up!!!! Girl, you really are outstanding...... I love your voice!!! Your voice is amazingly clear and precise! Aogu (Japonese)! 🙏
From the very moment I hear the warble on “The meadowlark” I knew this was going to be great. Wish I could sing the duet version of Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie with you.
I'm so happy I found this cover, it sounds really good! Your singing style sounds quite similar to Joanna's, so I guess you listen to her so much, don't you?
@@deepset workin on Monkey and Bear currently! Hoping to eventually do the whole album, as it's my favorite album. Tackling Only Skin will be a PROJECT though, no doubt.
@@towse I will wait patiently with eager anticipation. The part when she sings 'trudging along, the seagull weeps 'so long', makes all my hairs stand up on end every time. It's definitely one of my favourite records too. Well done kiddo, keep watering your talent.
@@deepset thanks so much! I think my favorite part of only skin might be the whole "last night our picture-window produced a half-word, heavy and hollow, hit by a brown bird" section. Or else "All my bones" or maybe "awful attol" there's so much good stuff in that song uuuugh
Gods, this is beautiful. You are the only one, appart from Joanna, who gives me chills when performing this song. Amazing work! Thank you for this awesome cover
This is insanely well done, amazing job! One of my favorite songs of all time. Been working on a Sprout and the Bean cover, but that's probably one of the only Joanna songs you can squeeze out of a guitar lol
This performance of such a monumental piece of music is somehow even better then the original. I wonder how could you remember perfectly each single word (there are a lot here, and not commonplace)... after that: Joanna is inimitable for better and for worse, but in this version is very hard to find something worse.
Damn I think your voice is better than joannas....definitely stronger...doesn't have the frailty because of that...which some people can think is appealing but I prefer your voice...especially lower register. Amazing job
Absolutely amazing. Love to hear you're own stuff. Didn't think anyone would be capable of covering this. Only thing an not a criticism this song has so many parts and sure you can, but the transitions need them little fills to join them up.
Very nice. I watched the first couple of minutes without my glasses, but put them on to see if that really was one of those big Hallowe'en spiders in the top left of the picture ( just to the right of the white hanging cup). It wasn't - it was only a piece of foliage, slightly darker than the rest. Perhaps when you do Only Skim ( or In California, or Go Long), it WILL be a spider. But don't let those ideas delay you from covering the original version of En Gallop... By the way, having just enjoyed your Monkey & Bear, I was kinda waiting for Fido to chime in at the end there. "Gregorio, you're right - it IS better with the bark"... as Griff Rhys Jones might have said ( ua-cam.com/video/CVl-GB5roOY/v-deo.html ).
I'm not per se a Joanna groupie (although it's my favorite song by her ++ ), but if you would output NOT /only/ tutorials for some of your lovely covers, though i only speak for myself, many would likely enjoy them too purely extemporaneously.
@@towse lol I think I meant that I'm not only here for the Joanna covers ( though i like 'Emily' most by her) and also, kinda unrelated, you've got many tutorials in general, but without cues to navigate to your uninterrupted renditions of those songs. Sometimes i just wanna watch you play music(sing too) , lol.
@@YsimulAC oh right on! I have playlists for covers and also specifically Joanna Newsom covers, as well as for my originals, if you go to the playlist tab on my channel you can definitely experience this :) I've tried to include links to the covers of the tutorials either in the description or in the end screen of tutorials but I may have missed some here and there, happy to fix it if you let me know which ones are missing links 🌸
Oh, yeah, I hadn’t thought of “don’t be” meaning dying, but that is obviously a good meaning. I was thinking that they were so dumbstruck with the sweetness that they ceased to be individual beings...a spiritual moment.
I love this song, but to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Newsom’s voice. Orchestration aside, I actually much prefer this rendition. Thank you so much for the tremendous amount of effort I know you spent learning this. It shows. I’m grateful for the thoughtful and expressive interpretation.
I legit didn't think I'd ever hear a good cover of a Joanna song, but you managed to not only nail it, but with one of my all time favorite songs. What a beautiful rendition, thank you for sharing this.
Ooooh, thanks so much!
Have you heard Owen Pallett's "Peach, Plum, Pear"? I like that one as well. (But yes, this Emily cover is fantastic.)
This is the third wonderful cover of Emily I have found today on UA-cam. as others have said, it is wonderful to find artists willing to dedicate themselves to making this complex song (the most perfect poetic piece of the past twenty years) their own. Thanks towse!
I love how happy you are performing this, please try and do only skin and cosmia 😭
Most people shouldn’t even attempt a Joanna cover tbh. But goddamn you do this justice
This is a really superb interpretation, congrats!
Thank you!
I clicked on the video thinking It had 2 million something views but after watching i *know* it should have. This is incredible!
Aww, too kind!
I had no idea it was even possible for someone else to do Joanna's music justice, but you've shown me I was wrong and then some. Incredible!
Thanks ☺️
keep returning to this, beautiful cover of the most amazing song
holy fuckin' shit. this was a joy to watch, thank you!
The slowed pace on piano is *chef's kiss*
Overall beautiful execution.
you give this song a sort of rich and haunting quality that is so beautiful
Right on!!
I've told all the people that matter that this is the song I want played on my deathbed. I'm with you on the literal #1 favorite. I've taken a break from listening to it, lest I completely wear it out, but this take was fresh in a way that made my eyes well up at the "dumbstruck with the sweetness of being" like the original used to on my earliest listens.

Aww thank you! That part is so beautiful
This exactly.
You made a channel specifically geared towards my interest and now I have no choice but to subscribe
Awww thanks so much! 😊 Glad you like my covers 💗
This is the best Newsom cover I've ever heard, and I've been a fan since 2005! I was lucky enough to have seen her in concert before Ys and she's really a once in a lifetime talent. Any chance of a Cosmia cover? Have a great day
Hoping to do all of Ys eventually!
please miss leave a crumb of talent
seriously though this is unbelievably good i would love to hear you play it on an acoustic piano some time, absolutely incredibly well done
You are truly a story teller, thankyou again!
Towse, you know how much I respect and love you!! Never, ever give up!!!! Girl, you really are outstanding...... I love your voice!!!
Your voice is amazingly clear and precise! Aogu (Japonese)! 🙏
OMG your voice makes me cry!!

Dude, you did the whole thing! Great job! I love the aspect ratio, I feel like I'm watching a old David Lynch movie. And thanks for the chords.
Wow you nailed it this was amazing. Best Joanna cover ever.
From the very moment I hear the warble on “The meadowlark” I knew this was going to be great. Wish I could sing the duet version of Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie with you.
Incredibly good. Do more covers of Joanna Newsom.
I have a lot up already, not sure if you've seen the rest, but I have a playlist on my channel of them :) but yes I plan to do many more!

Oooooh, what a lovely thing to hear!!

Oooh wow thanks so much, I'm so so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
i am just in awe. fabulous .
This is insanely well done, amazing job! One of my favorite songs of all time. Been working on a Sprout and the Bean cover, but that's probably one of the only Joanna songs you can squeeze out of a guitar lol
I think quite a few could be done nicely on guitar! I've heard a few great covers :) cool you're working on that!
lol i knew you looked familiar, a few weeks before i saw this i watched your in the aeroplane over the sea guitar tutorial
Oh yay, glad you found me again!
Epic. Keep it up. Nailed this one.
bravissima

I miss having you here to talk about Joanna Newsom lyrics. I’m really noticing “dumbstruck with the sweetness of being, until we don’t be...” today.
One of my favorites! Very comfortable about impermanence
Oh, yeah, I hadn’t thought of “don’t be” meaning dying, but that is obviously a good meaning. I was thinking that they were so dumbstruck with the sweetness that they ceased to be individual beings...a spiritual moment.
Yeah I definitely feel that as well!
Holy crap, I feel blasphemous for even thinking it but I may prefer this to the original

Are you her identical twin sister? Except a better singer
Haha thanks
