As many times as I’ve listened to this version over and over I still get goosebumps every time at this portion, you can just feel her passion. It’s extremely unfortunate that pure natural talent like this has to resort to busking in a subway terminal, she may not even want everything that comes with fame but she deserves so much more recognition than many of the famous “artists” that are widely known and praised today.
Slim's rendition of this song quite literally made the world a better place. In fact, a safer place...as it softens my heart each time I hear it. It's made me a better man. I will be thankful to her for the rest of my days.
I saw this video for the first time 2 years ago. It immediately made me realize that my dad is getting older and one day I won’t have him here anymore. He died almost exactly a year later with no prior medical history. Hearing this made me spend that last year with him with full force. I am so greatful I ran into this video when I did. Cheers
Something about 1:48 really touches me!! You’re a star and deserves to be heard by the world. This whole video and version of this song by her is the purest thing I’ve heard in a while
Is this the best street performance ever ? I search RUclips for hours daily( i have no life )and I cant remember anything quite like this. Gives me goosebumps everytime ! Bravo !
I live in Indiana, just to the west of Cincinnati, Ohio. Considering the size of the world, I'm neighbors with Chicago. It's still not a distance that I can easily travel at my convenience, however, so I haven't been able to see experience her personally. As luck would have it, my high school choir is traveling to Chicago for two weeks to perform at various spots around the city. One of them will be a subway that's usually crawling with people on their way to work, and vacant at any other time of the day. I've shown my choirmates her videos, and we've all been hoping and praying that by some miracle, we'll catch her while she's playing. If we can't hear her ourselves, we've decided that giving her our gratitude and expressing our admiration will be enough. My choir has a coin jar to collect tips when we go busking (we never put it out until someone offers us a tip, then we set it out until we've sung a few more songs before we put it away again) and a couple of my friends have started bringing in the tips they've earned from their jobs to give to Slim. The rest of the choir tagged in, and soon my entire high school (student population of roughly 1,300) had been introduced to Slim and donating their own money. We've raised, at the time of me posting this, $457.45 that we plan to bring to Chicago with us in case we find Slim. Every penny will be given to her. Along with the money, many students have written her letters about the inspiration she is to them. We know that we may not see her, or if we do and we offer her our donation, she is likely to decline it with the good heart she has. If that happens, my school has arranged to have it donated anonymously. It took a lot of work, but everything has been decided, set, and confirmed. My choir leaves in three days, and our first of six performances in a subway is in five. Fingers crossed that our hard work pays off.
Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I'm getting older too Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Ive watched this frequently for years now. To think a video recorded in a subway years ago can still reach around the world and touch your soul is truly remarkable.
Her fierce guitar rants perfectly expresses the chaotic wilderness of life. But through all the pain she focuses her voice and calls a haunting siren song to all of us lost souls. ❤ Thank you so much for creating something meaningful, that none of us will soon forget. 🎉🎉🎉
Pure talent that unfortunately is not recognized. Since the day I saw this video I have never let you go. As a guitarist myself, know that I love your style Ashley. Please don't give up, don't give up because without you knowing it we are counting on your talent and your productions, keep playing and releasing your songs. I love u
"Children get older and I'm getting older too." Get's me every time. Reminds me of when I dropped my darling daughter off at college. Off she flew away from me. This musician is very unique and her music goes straight to your soul.
I found this song late last night browsing through amazing street/subway performances out of boredom from COVID quarantine. Don't know why but this performance touched my soul. I think her voice is right up here with grammy winners like Adele! It's been a looooong time since I heard so much soul, passion, and emotion in a street performance. It moved me so much that I had to find out more about her.
First and foremost, I pray that this guitarist/artist is in good mental and physical condition. I've always had this connection with music that I didn't really obtain with people as a kid. I'd heard of Stevie Nicks but I didn't listen to her. Thank you for keeping music alive.
I’m doing a guitar unit in music, you learn the first few notes, strings, basics, your like ok this is pretty eazy, then you gotta play those notes quickly, it gets very hard, I hear professionals play it now and I’m just blown away at how good they are, why they are professional. She should be classified as one of the best subway preformer’s ever.
I play this video every day, haha ; it's amazing and a life changing cover for her and those of us listening! I would trade spots with anyone there in a heartbeat, truly!
To be able to hear certain lyrics and turn them into a version of your own passion is so special. People don’t understand the effort and skill it takes to turn one huge hit song into a better version of itself. Same way jimi re played all along the watchtower and made that his own after Dylan wrote it.
I'm quite the fan of Fleetwood mac and I can play the the original on guitar but I would hand this chap half of my pocket just for such great skill and emotion playing this
First time,I saw this video i trembled and watched truly in awe. Saw Stevie do this number live and it was mesmerizing, but Ashley literally shook me. So talented,with so many obvious influences in her playing and singing. Reminds me alot of Rikki Lee Jones,but with more emotion.Wow, what a swwetheart!
Thanks for sharing this video. i watch it almost everyday she has an amazing voice, plays beautifully & love her style.. sings it better than the originator .. amazing voice!

Learn your history boy
Just met her last night! Thankyou for coming to my brothers wedding
1:48 I’m not gonna lie…. That pain in her voice moves every fiber of my soul every time I hear it. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Unforgettable. Ethereal. Haunting.
EVERY SINGLE TIME

I cant believe this exists it honestly moves me so much
its beautiful

This is called putting passion in what you do. No one blazes a guitar like that without it.
Exactly, it's like her fingers and the guitar one and I feel it!
With the voice to match!
You ain't kidding!
I see this woman all the time! I always throw her a 10 spot she deserves it! Chicago love

omfgggg me tooo!!!! i just heard this today! cant stop listening to it.
Not gonna lie… I choke every time I hear that part… is that pain in her voice… 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same. A huge pain in there, 1:52
One of the best guitarist I have ever heard.
This artist brings a whole new, haunting and unforgettable quality to this song!
There so much emotion coming from her voice. Craziness. Make you feel every word about a story than you’re not even involved in
For years, I've been coming to watch her version of Landslide. Just something about it, that brings me back here.
I agree I feel like it is better than the original but that's just my opinion ❤
Feels like we are listening to her soul so much passion
Chills and tears everytime I listen to this song!
Damn ,wish I was there at that exact moment. She's a genius, and that was the best rendition of any song ever done
My ears are so lucky ❤️
Such a beautiful and emotional voice.
The second clip is new to me omg I’m in love
Is this the best street performance ever ? I search RUclips for hours daily( i have no life )and I cant remember anything quite like this. Gives me goosebumps everytime ! Bravo !
Every now and then I look this up. Been going on for 3 or 4 years now. She is so talented
magnificent work.
Slim Freedom is her RUclips page. You're welcome
Thank you
Thank you GOD BLESS you and. EVERY HOMELESS PERSON I ALL THE WORLD
the guy sitting by the pole as soon as she starts singing says it all.
This is not a human but an angel gifted to us for a limited time, hopefully the world doesn’t take her for granted.
May 2023 and I’ve just discovered this gem. These types of vids leave scars in my memory.
Her song Freedom is absolute fire. Check out both the live and studio versions, you won't be disappointed.
yeah it is fireeeeeee
Amazing ❤ God bless ya girl🙏
She takes my breath away.... truly raw, passionate and timelessly eternal
This is the original now. Shout out to the city so much talent here
She’s amazing!
Can't help but to listen to this heavenly voice everyday... Love the way her skills and voice compliments each other.
My mother passed from cancer the week before Mothers Day. This was our song. Brings tears to my eyes every time now
I'm sorry for your loss Brother. May her soul rest in peace!
Oh baby I'm so sorry. Hang in and hang on. Be well Love 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👵🏾❤️

She might not need it. I busk and can make $100-$300 a night and its not even a city like Boston. There are 100,000 where i live. Good for you tho . ✌
BLESS YOU AND YOUR PEERS
It is truly amazing how many people ignore those of less riches but these are the richest people being ignored! Think About It!
True
True
yup and its beautiful. The beauty of it.
Why do you think this person is of "less riches"?
Damn I felt this so true.
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
great lyrics
Thankyou
Absolute perfection 👊🇯🇲
please can you write the whole ?
To think Stevie Nicks only was something like 25 years old when she wrote this
My brother died in 2007...it is now 2021 and I’ve never felt closer to him
Ive watched this frequently for years now. To think a video recorded in a subway years ago can still reach around the world and touch your soul is truly remarkable.
Still here in 2024. I play it at least 4x every 3-4 months
Her fierce guitar rants perfectly expresses the chaotic wilderness of life. But through all the pain she focuses her voice and calls a haunting siren song to all of us lost souls. ❤ Thank you so much for creating something meaningful, that none of us will soon forget. 🎉🎉🎉
She has a very Richie Havens kinda "Freedom" style with the emotional vocals and the percussive strumming. Killer stuff!
That’s the best version of this song I’ve ever heard!!! So much strength in her voice unbelievable
Down the rabbit hole i go of Ashley Stevenson. Beautiful ...Powerful Voice. I love it!
I can't watch this without crying. There's such a thing as too emotional. It's so beautiful though
I tear up, and I have to pause the videos, everytime I watch one. Her soul is crying out to me. I can't take it. Her voice. It will haunt me forever.
Pure talent that unfortunately is not recognized. Since the day I saw this video I have never let you go. As a guitarist myself, know that I love your style Ashley.
Please don't give up, don't give up because without you knowing it we are counting on your talent and your productions, keep playing and releasing your songs. I love u
how voice is so clean... Angelic, this one got me! : )
I love slim she is a superstar handsdown
Her voice rises above it's so powerful and beautiful at the same time...what a diamond 💎 in the rough 😘
"Children get older and I'm getting older too." Get's me every time. Reminds me of when I dropped my darling daughter off at college. Off she flew away from me. This musician is very unique and her music goes straight to your soul.

The voice of an angel.
Shit brought me to tears
Her voice is incredible. Her guitar playing is just as good. Wow.
I’ve never seen a live performance better than
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song I’ve ever heard! This is also my most favorite song in the world so thank you for this
This single version alone is better then any cover not her studio or nothing this here subway version is the best
I LOVE LISTENING TO THIS. I LOVE HOW YOU SING LANDSLIDE AND PLAY
I ve heard it 10 times or more ..cnt get enough
I don’t think the sheer, raw talent hit the people watching. Maybe later on it did. Thanks to Ashley and whoever recorded it. Amazing! 🙌
This is singing that comes from the soul.
First and foremost, I pray that this guitarist/artist is in good mental and physical condition. I've always had this connection with music that I didn't really obtain with people as a kid. I'd heard of Stevie Nicks but I didn't listen to her. Thank you for keeping music alive.

This should totally be viral! Stop, listen, be moved, enjoy...... share 😉
Super talented. Gave me chills. Very spiritual. 😇

I absolutely love her.. She is amazing..
