Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness. Harp cover by Tamara Young

Another lockdown moment, no synth on top though I'm afraid
Always hear those drums and strings kick in for Tonight in my head every time I finish the last note !

[@ct-gt2dt]

this and the aphex covers are really really good. keep putting these up. its nice to hear these arrangements isolated so beautifully on harp.

[@tamarayoung39]

Thanks so much Chris. Really glad you like them!

[@ilse1126]

You should do Cupid De Locke by Smashing Pumpkins! The harp in that song is beautiful

[@stinky6591]

wonderful, really melancholic for me. listened to this album a lot in my first two years of university and now im in the very last days of my degree. my time in uni is almost up and hearing this makes me sad and happy at the same time

[@tamarayoung39]

Thanks so much! I think feeling happy and sad is a common one when listening to smashing pumpkins! 🤗

[@Dra741]

Even though you did this 5 years ago it's relevant to the history of all mankind God bless you for recognizing the Smashing Pumpkins

[@tamarayoung39]

Thank you so much!

[@tamarayoung39]

Thank you so much!

You are one of the only people on RUclips that I know that barely has any dislikes on any of your videos, and it's no surprise. You are a sophisticated master on the harp. Do you ever think of covering a Joanna Newsom song?

[@tamarayoung39]

Thanks so much Izet! I do like Joanna Newsom yes.

[@LaGuerre19]

I don't know what to say except that your versions of Aisatsana, Mellon Collie, and on and on and on -- they transport me to a place of warm peace that one doesn't often come upon in this world, and you deserve all the likes and views in the world. In lieu of that, please accept my endless thanks for sharing your talents!

[@spookey2004]

Wasn’t expecting this to calm me down and help me catch up on sleep but it did, so thanks for this beautiful and soothing cover!

[@tamarayoung39]

Thanks so much

[@juliaholcomb7031]

ah i love this and your aphex twin covers. it would be amazing if you covered 'cupid de locke' off this same album - i feel like that would sound like pure gold! of course, just a suggestion

[@tamarayoung39]

Thanks so much Julia!

[@the-dopamine-fiend]

You nailed it so well, my brain automatically started playing the Mellotron parts. Gorgeous. Thank you for these recordings!
