Wow...I had no idea that snapping fingers can add so much to the music. A gorgeous performance that made me instantly become a fan of harp!!! Thank you! Oh, and the filming and the lighting are also great!
When somebody becomes a master of their instrument, then they can play and develop new things and arrangements of high quality, its wonderful... Amy puts her heart into her original pieces, and it can be felt.
Chapeau !! J'ai joué la harpe pendant quelques années quand j'étais enfant... il y a maintenant 60 ans (j'avais 5 ans quand j'ai commencé) et il me fait toujours plaisir quand je l'écoute. J'ai adoré votre jeu. Merci.
What I love about harps is that they combine all the defining features and range of all non bowed string instruments with that of a piano. It's amazing what a single person can do with a harp.
Woooww!! No words. Fantastic, wonderful!!🤩🥰 Thank you so much for this beautiful performance, Amy!!🙏👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love and peace for you, from Brazil! ☮️💙💜💚💛🇧🇷
Beautiful work/play - many decades ago I played organ in an R&B group - this was a staple of our songlist - in one particular club this song would be the whole set - 45 mins or more!! whenever we began to wind it down the dancers would hiss and groan and make it clear we were not stopping !! it is a wonderful feeling when your audience enjoys your performance as much as we enjoyed performing it - thanks for plucking the memories.
Abso-frikkin-lutely amazing! Thank you! I love the way you did this in shadow! Also loved watching the lower strings vibrate against the light background!
I stumbled across Amy doing a cover of Happy by Pharrell Williams ,and thought wow ! Brilliant, love the use of hand strikes to emulate the drum sounds ,that's unique as far as I'm aware ,but then tbf iv not really listened to Harp music much . Hence why I'm here checking out the rest of her work .Bravo . Being as I used to play drums many years ago (Although I haven't played for decades now ) I am a tapper ,I have a habit of tapping drum beats all the time lol .on my knees ,steering wheel of the car , kitchen counter ,you name it lol ..😂👍😁🎶
I am an old man. The movie "Stand By Me" takes me back to when I was a kid. The events in the movie never occurred to me...not exactly. But it represents my childhood.
Those haters who pushed thumbs down are only jealous because they have no talents such as this to share with the world... You have an amazing future ahead of you!!!
I loved that song since I was young when the old film came out a long time ago, you did a great version of it, thanks for sharing all your music it's so relaxing, I'm Irish so harp music resonates in my blood,
I can't even tell you how much I adore this song, Amy, specifically the way you play it. I am going to buy your arrangement, and even if it takes me years, I'm going to learn how to play it. As a beginner-level harpist, I am so happy and thankful to hear this type of music played so well on a harp. Thank you for the music you choose to play.
That snapping is really impressive, both the consistency in how crisp the snaps are, and just... My palm would hurt very quickly if I did that myself I think haha! I was convinced you put two videos together in post until I heard the pitch changes!
Wouahhh Amy you are really incredible.... Personally I would never attended such a passion.... I am 2 years study the harp but really active... An whe I see you , your originality. . This is really what I dream of....
Thanks for watching! Just do you and your path will appear, originality is about being true to what you really enjoy about life. I studied classical music and hated it, there are so many things I owe that path of study, technique, work ethic, and I met great people, but playing a wider range of styles is really my passion. I had to be honest about that before I really found a path I wanted to walk.
Well how much fun was that?! Brilliant indeed. The silhouette videography was equally as "snappy" (Sorry, I couldn't resist that). Quite innovative I must say. A winner for sure. Thank you.
I usually don't like this song. I find it maudlin and overplayed. When I saw the title I thought I would just skip it but as one of your internet fans I went ahead and gave it a chance. I was pleasantly surprised how your tempo, phrasing and intensity brought something new to the piece that touched me. That's a true artist who can take something common and make us hear it with new ears or see it with fresh eyes. Thank-you so much for sharing your talent with us and producing these wonderfully visual videos that enhance the listening.
Totally get what you're saying - it is hard to put new life into something that's been played and played, and heard and heard. But I really think this song is timeless. So, if a song convinces you, it doesn't matter how many times it's been done before, because anyone can put themselves into it and make it new again. I never get tired of playing this. It's mine now.
Your ownership of it is what makes it work so well. You know there are wads of videos on here where people aren't doing that. Playing a heavy metal song on a ukulele, hip-hop on bagpipes, classical on a kazoo and so many more pairings of an instrument with a style it's not normally associated with. They are a vehicle for dexterity at best and a stunt for attention at worst. It would be so easy to look at your titles and say Oh, I've not heard that on a harp before, how clever. You aren't that. You aren't a harpist playing unusual pieces. You are an artist who's tool happens to be the harp and you use it to channel the passion and energy of the pieces you choose to the world. Again thank-you so much for sharing with us!
You are incredibly talented. The way you play gives me goosebumps. It is so heavenly and emotional. Thank you for sharing these videos, it made my day. Never heard such beauty, you are the best harp player I have ever heard.
Amy, thank you so much. I've spent the last year or so watching you play all kinds of music and making each piece sound fresh and exciting. It's not just your technical virtuosity that amazes me, it's also the emotion you inject into pieces heard a hundred times before. You truly have been blessed with a very rare gift. I wish you great (and well-deserved) success in the future......... From a sad old man who loves music but can't even whistle in tune.
If I see one more comment about how Amy's blood, sweat, and tears and years of sacrifice, dedication, and sheer hard work is somehow, magically, a 'god given talent' or is the 'fluttering of angel's wings' or what they must play in the foyer of 'heaven' - I think I will puke! When people make comments like that it diminishes Amy's contribution to the beautiful music that SHE is performing and has created for us. Wake up and just dig her stuff without resorting to cliches or psuedo-religious claptrap. Or I'll 'pray' to Thor/Osiris/(fill in the blank) to blow your house down.
Please play Chopin nocturne!!! You play so well I would love to hear this piece on the harp played by someone soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo talented! I hope I can be this good. I love the harp and you are my inspiration! God bless you!!!! 😘

The fact that you can see the strings vibrate in waves is so cool!!!
Hannah L it's the rolling shutter effect
I dont seee a fucking thing just listening
It's due to the rolling shutter of her camera, it's just an optical illusion.
@@LoreSka , not really an illusion, strings do vibrate, but our eyes could not really see it in reality :)

GIRL...You done it !!! I'm from Detroit, 74 years old. Awesome ! Much Thanks.
I love the sass behind evey finger snap.
Wow...I had no idea that snapping fingers can add so much to the music. A gorgeous performance that made me instantly become a fan of harp!!! Thank you! Oh, and the filming and the lighting are also great!
...and she gets such a great, crisp snap, from both hands!!!
You believe too easily!
Oh, to have young, agile fingers like yours again.
When somebody becomes a master of their instrument, then they can play and develop new things and arrangements of high quality, its wonderful... Amy puts her heart into her original pieces, and it can be felt.
Well done! I didn't realize the harp could get this far into jazz territory.
I don't think people typically consider the harp as versatile but Amy keeps showing that it absolutely is! Also...1:54 - 2:27 - best part! :D
love the lighting on this one
Chapeau !! J'ai joué la harpe pendant quelques années quand j'étais enfant... il y a maintenant 60 ans (j'avais 5 ans quand j'ai commencé) et il me fait toujours plaisir quand je l'écoute. J'ai adoré votre jeu. Merci.
It's cool how you're able to flick strings and snap your fingers at the same time! Keep up the good work!
I will never forget this particular arrangement. Absolutely beautiful!
I danced to my husband the night of our wedding to this beautiful song. Thanks for bringing such fond memories back. You’re amazing!
Your style, skill, and grace never cease to amaze me.
Amy’s performances touch your soul. Bless her. ✊✊✊

Abso-frikkin-lutely amazing! Thank you! I love the way you did this in shadow! Also loved watching the lower strings vibrate against the light background!
Wow Amy. You are a Godsend. Beautiful. Just beautifully played. Ben E. King would be so proud!
2년만에 다시 이 음악(Amy Turk님이 하프로 연주한 "Stand By Me") 잘 듣고, 연주 영상도 잘 보고 가네요. 지금 들어도 예전에 들었던 감동은 여전하네요.
그럼, 이 음악을 듣는 모든분들 행복한 시간 되세요.
You even snap your fingers better than any mortal! Such impressive talent! Your covers are always so amazing!
Gilberto M. Morales De León Thanks! Not as well as MJ but I'm still practising!

Cannot stop listening. Somehow this is something i sorely needed in my world right now. Thank you Amy. Truly beautiful.
So beautiful. As it was playing one of our cats almost entered a zen like state! XD really lovely, thank you.
This feels like poetry on strings🥰🥰🥰
Was für eine Begabung...Unglaublich und wunderschön 🌻
For such an accomplished harpist, playing this simple melody must be a piece of cake.
I am an old man. The movie "Stand By Me" takes me back to when I was a kid. The events in the movie never occurred to me...not exactly. But it represents my childhood.

Beautiful arrangement of a great, classic song. Thank you Amy.
Amen... Creation is best music in this world!
That snapping is really impressive, both the consistency in how crisp the snaps are, and just... My palm would hurt very quickly if I did that myself I think haha! I was convinced you put two videos together in post until I heard the pitch changes!
If I close my eyes, you bring my mind to a time of huge temples and large columns and a calm pool of water, just a sense of heaven on Earth ❤️
Wow you don't see MAGIC like that on TV - I am subscribing
信じられないほど、素晴らしいと思います！✨💗😊このフィンガースナップの美しさと、そしてそれを、ハープで弾いているのが、とても感動しました!!✨😊💫💗
De mis melodías favoritas, excelentemente interpretada e ingeniosamente acompañada, mucho éxito, saludos desde México
Very talented. I dont think people understand how hard this is
I am pretty impressed with her ability to keep the rhythm and snapping going and still and and play so beautifully. Loved the cinematography as well.
You should watch her rendition of Toto's "Africa"
Beautiful shadowplay and interpretation! Thanks
Stand by me is one of my favorite songs! I love this harp version!
Wouahhh Amy you are really incredible.... Personally I would never attended such a passion.... I am 2 years study the harp but really active... An whe I see you , your originality. . This is really what I dream of....

This is wonderful! I cant even snap my fingers at all, and the left hand is amazing. So beautiful! Thanks for the great music.
Much love from south korea. Very good.
I think that this harp cover is better than original song. Really!!
Well how much fun was that?! Brilliant indeed. The silhouette videography was equally as "snappy" (Sorry, I couldn't resist that).
Quite innovative I must say. A winner for sure. Thank you.
Very cool is the combination of bass, melody and snapping with your fingers.
As always your music brings me such joy with every piece you make
The vibration of the strings is the same of my heart 💙
it's my favourite song and version
Gratitude Amy Turk 🙏🏿
Great job, the whole project clearly took a lot of time.
One of my all time favs such a classic. Its really pleasant to hear it played by the harp. give the song a different feeling :)

You love your instrument:-)
Kudos to the person behind the knobs (I can hear your fingers rub during the attack)
Brilliant
Dan
Thank you very much for this beautiful rendition. You made my day one more time. I´m listening to you from Mexico :)
I can't stop watching this, it's the best version ever 💖 Thanks Amy 😄
This is the music for our soul! Love it!
You are incredibly talented. The way you play gives me goosebumps. It is so heavenly and emotional. Thank you for sharing these videos, it made my day. Never heard such beauty, you are the best harp player I have ever heard.

I like the effects
Videos are continually getting better. Props.
listening to your performances these past few days seem to have relieved my difficulty in sleeping.
wow!! this is awesome, love how Amy plays. what a great surprise and gift. Super arrangement and the snap is a perfect touch. Beautiful Amy.
1:58 sends chills running down my spine 😍😍😍so beautiful
Utterly wonderful. Thank you, Amy.
So many nuances of the band captured in two hands.
Big Smile ! Thank You Again !
I can't believe you snapped instead of adding a snap. That's dedication!
Thank you for your music, amy turk.
Impeccable coordination!
Just found your channel, subscribed halfway through this video. A song I already love, and this is such a tender performance. You have a new fan, Amy!
Beautiful and mesmerizing ❤
I love the visual in this video, Amy. So simple and beautiful. It fits very nicely with the music. Another job well done! Thank you!
Beautiful thank you for lifting my soul with your gift.
So nice I had to watch it twice. Thanks Amy.😻
Нереально как то...волшебно!!!
Beautiful video, the lighting somehow makes your playing all the more special. 👏👏
I loved the video of her harp and skilled hands, so talented and awesome!
this is SO beautiful, it's more than I expected when I clicked the video. cheers from Brazil!
Brilliant arrangement 👏👏👏
If I see one more comment about how Amy's blood, sweat, and tears and years of sacrifice, dedication, and sheer hard work is somehow, magically, a 'god given talent' or is the 'fluttering of angel's wings' or what they must play in the foyer of 'heaven' - I think I will puke!

snapping gives it a "time of the seasons" feel.
so beautiful.....wowwww Love it!!
Had to sign up and pledge to patreon. This music heals my soul ❤️
Thanks so much for your support!
Superb! Thank you for sharing your talents. You are so rhythmic! What a gift!
Amy, you make me cry happy tears.
This cover caused a big smile on my face. Thanks, u are amazing!!!
Excellent!! Look forward to more.
This is so beautiful, I am moved to tears
Loved the iconic song and a beautiful interpretation, adds another dimension to my enjoyment of the song - thank you
You must be one of my favorite harpist. Love, love, love.
Amazing inventiveness in this arrangement.
Well performed with excellent production values.
Love your rendition!
why anyone would watch the "satisfying video compilations" while this is so perfect that makes you fly by watching it already
This is too beautiful for words. But here are some nonetheless.
Please play Chopin nocturne!!! You play so well I would love to hear this piece on the harp played by someone soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo talented! I hope I can be this good. I love the harp and you are my inspiration! God bless you!!!! 😘
There are 21 Chopin nocturne pieces. Which one?
@@minalee6347 all if them OK it would be a very long video but I would watch it to the very end
@@kevingodding9316 I would watch it to the very end too! It would be AMAZING!
Muito bom ver os seus vídeos, admirável, obrigado.

HERMOSO!!! TUS MANOS SON DE ANGEL..
