“This is going to be rough” *proceeds to deliver the most flawless cover of this song on the Internet doing all the sampling in real time* You are insanely talented. Please keep doing this.
It's the Dunning-Kruger effect. Those who are least competent believe themselves competent at everything, while the most competent-like this insanely talented person here-feel like it must be this easy for everyone, and underestimate their own ability. Whether she knows it or not, she MURDERED this song.
Yeah, I don't understand it, but there is no understanding insanity. I get if someone has priorities, but I'm unconvinced that that many don't have time to stop and smell the flowers... or teen spirit. :P
That's never a surprise. LOTS of people out there with LOTS of different interests. Also, this is interruptive entertainment. No one is going out to see her, so if some are randomly interested, hell, that's a bonus.
I wouldn't be able to keep walking. I would be guided like bugs with the scent trail,....except by a music trail in this case. This girl deserves some props for sure.
My wife and I just saw you at Baby's All Right in New York. Before the show I came up to you and said, "My wife and I--" and I pointed to her, and you immediately rushed across the room to meet her. You have class, soul, and more talent than you can use in one lifetime. Even though right now you're only playing to a few people at a time, you're affecting hundreds of thousands. You have a gift. Enjoy it in whatever way makes you happiest.
Agreed. That inviting soul comes from the Aloha Spirit we Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian people) are raised with. We are taught from a very young age that the other person comes first before ourselves. Living with Aloha means that we always take care of the other person first. In that way, we never have to worry about taking care of ourselves because the other person is taking care of us. If the people of this world could ALL live with Aloha, just imagine what this world would be. And with that in mind, i dare you to Live With Aloha and see where that gets you. No laila e noho me ke Aloha, e mālama i kekahi i kekahi, e aloha kekahi i kekahi i kēlā me kēia lā a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia ao. Aloha mākou iā ʻoe Kawehi a haʻaheo mākou Aloha mākou iā ʻoe e ko mākou kaikuahine!
I was so psyched to see this pop up in my feed. Your cover of NIN's Closer was actually how I discovered this channel about 2 years ago, so it took me back :) Great as always!
Old dude here that grew up on NIN in the 90s...and I'm so happy that Trent's music is continuing to reach new audiences and this cover is an absolutely amazing way to share that catalog!
I know a guy who just discontinued his AMAZING podcast because of this very reason. He's like an audio engineering wizard, and his show was hilarious, but he didn't feel like it was good enough I guess. Thankfully, I've tapped him for a few future projects, so his skill and talent won't be going unutilized. I just hope what I have in mind is good enough for HIM, because honestly, he entirely outclasses me in that regard.
There really is something special to busking. There’s nothing like setting up on a street corner where nothing is going on and essentially turning it into a show. Changes the whole vibe of the area in a matter of about 10 minutes.
I would have lost it if i heard someone doing NIN in the street just as i was walking by. So insane. Anything by Reznor is always my fave covers instantly.. They just give me that extra boost. 😍😍😍😍
Had I been "Bike Man", I would have been so pumped after hearing this, I'd be able to cycle into another dimension. Also really enjoyed the Back to the Future cameo towards the end. Dope cover, thanks so much.
He should have cycled into another dimension instead of right through the middle of her shot/setup. Him and the skateboarder cut behind her one after another and you can see her make the WTF face. I know it well.
From one artist to another, I understand the anxiety, depression, and awful battles of self-doubt. The consensus amongst the rest of my fellow writer friends was that the pandemic deeply effected our ability to create. Try not to be too hard on yourself this has been a rough couple of years for creatives everywhere across all the genres. I don't want to invalidate your feelings, but as an outsider to your personal experience I have to say that you are so incredibly talented. I was so glad I stumbled upon your youtube page and your music. Your wonderful gifts and impressive talents have gotten me through some dark times, especially, these last couple of years. Take a break if needed but I implore you to not give up. What you do is far too amazing not to share with those around you.
I'm right there with these two...you can do it, This is the first time seeing this video and Loved it...You are a hero to not let Anxiety win! This inspires me ;)
being down always tremendously increased my output, not the other way around... i can only create when depressed.... when you're satisfied what's going to pour out?... nothing
That was about 100 times better than I imagined it was gonna be! Nice use of looping.. Also fluffy hat and pink guitar for a song espousing revolution is genius! Loved it
I'm in awe of your talent. Seriously. The last two years have been tough. I'm not an artist but I can imagine and empathize with the self doubt and the lows. I can tell you from a fan's perspective that I enjoy the hell out of your music and I think you're great. For what it's worth.
Yeah she can sing, she looks like a model....that's not unique or special enough these days, so do millions of other young girls all over the world. What else does she have???
@@Mexxx65 If you paid attention to the video or watched any of her other videos you would know the answer to this. She does covers and sings her own original music. She uses a looper in cool and creative ways. There's no reason to be so dismissive.
@@stefyroxanne7567 This girl has chosen a profession career, entertainment, where every minute detail of her performances will be judged and critiqued, by millions all over the world. Her business is an extremely competitive business these days. Especially in an era, of "throw away music". My credentials mean little in regards to a youtube comment, like everyone else here. I have been in the music industry for over 40 years, and been a music teacher for 30 years. I feel confident I know talent when I see it. Oh what do you have?
Dig the shit out of this one! Me and my wife still remember fondly seeing you and having a great time in that junkyard in salt lake city! Was a great experience and you and yours was just lovely! Hope to see you again!
Clearly a labor of love. The first time I’ve ever wished I was in Kansas. One musician to another,I am so grateful for your arrangements and delivery. Please keep doing what you do.
There are worse places to visit than Lawrence. Incredibly talented people living there (as seen here) along with an appreciative audience for new and experimental sounds (despite what you might gather from all the walk-bys here). And since it’s near both I-70 and I-35, it’s a must-stop town for bands touring the country. I saw so many great shows there as a student at amazing and intimate venues. Didn’t know how lucky I was until I moved away.
So, I was in a band when this song came out, and being a big fan of NIN got my band to play it, and I sang it. Not a lead singer myself, I'm not sure we did it justice but it was so fun to play. Coincidently, my bandmate was from Lawrence, KS, and we traveled there for a show once. I've made my living as a soundguy ever since working with all sorts of talented musicians. I want you to know, you truly are an amazing artist. I thoroughly enjoy all your work. I excitedly look forward to seeing you perform, and hopefully working with you directly one day! Keep up the fantastic work.
I'm no artist and wouldn't know the first thing about stage fright and such. But all I can say is that I love your work and still listen regularly to the wood-encased USB stick "I am Kawehi" you sold online. I also have the metal one. They're cool to look at but they're of course course amazing to listen to. You're awesome and brave. Can't tell you what to do, and if you feel like this isn't for you anymore you're the only who can make that call. But we are thousands and thousands of people listening to your music and loving it. Thank you for your music. And a big virtual hug from France !
That was awesome. I hope you don't quit making music. I feel into a depression about 14 years ago and quit making music. I haven't been able to get back into it no matter how much I try. It's like a piece of my soul is gone and I can't get it back. Trust me when I say this. Hold on to that part of your soul for as long as you can.
You absolutely crushed it! Bravo to you for pushing yourself. As an author who makes live appearances, I completely related to that anxiety, stage fright, and pandemic concerns. You are an inspiration that you got back out there and ended up having fun. Keep going! You got this!!
I'm super thrilled you went out of your comfort zone and performed during this very challenging year. Your performance in Denver was awesome, and is the only concert I have seen in 2 years. Thank you for doing what you do.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR QUARANTINE SESSIONS?! My mom and I looked forward to those during the pandemic and that music was really something that kept me that much happier during a very stressful time, I hope everything is well with you!
So glad this popped up, and so glad you're having fun again. Keep on keeping on, and whatever you need to do to keep creating - taking a break, getting back out there, whatever - make sure you're prioritizing you. Being a creative is a marathon not a sprint, and I hope you know there's many of us who are grateful you're out there making music.
I’ve seen nine inch nails live quite a few times and yet, this is the most successful performance of The Hand That Feeds that I’ve ever seen. Well done!!
To quote Bob the Minion "Boo Ya!" An absolute delight seeing your love and passion for music so vividly. Hope you'll have many many awesome opportunities to feel like this and enjoy your art in 2022!
Seriously, your music has such a special expression - I guess somebody who wasn't fighting his demons wouldn't have that energy. All the best to you and PLEASE keep at it. I am a very critical person but you tock and inspire me deeply! Hope you play im Switzerland some day!
This just randomly came up in my feed and as a massive NIN fan I was interested to hear a solo cover of arguably my favourite tune. Kawehi, this version was totally amazing while your talent is off the charts, and I've never missed a NIN tour of Australia so my frame of reference is pretty good. Really looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you and thanks so much for sharing. Subscribe!
The first song I heard from you was CLOSER. And this is just icing on the cake. You keep churning out quality work. Can only imagine what would a collab between you and Trent Reznor would look like. You're awesome.
It's so good to see you doing stuff again!. Been a follower for nearly 10 years. You have a remarkable tallent and skill as a musician. NIN is always a favorite of mine.
Wow, I was expecting this to be decent but damn, this was awesome. Love that you had the samples in real time and rocked out on the guitar. You are such a talent, I'm shocked no one has signed you to a record label because this was that damn good.
I am French, but I remember way back in 2007 I went to see NIN in a tiny concert hall in Osaka (twas about 2000 people and that's it) and it was a really great gig! Very intimate! I was impressed by the devotion and enthusiasm of Japanese fans, knowing the lyrics of the new album by heart!!
I LOVE this. The fact that you did this during December is awesome. The holiday music as you're setting up is great. PERFECT song choice for the holiday :)
I'm soo glad you found the love in doing what you love again. You're far too amazing of an artist to give up on this. Seriously. KEEP GOING Kawehi. Me and soo many other people would be so bummed to find out you stopped. If you read dopamine nation or watched the Huberman lab podcast with Anna Lembke, It might help you appreciate that the lows are just part of it. JUST PLEASE DONT EVER STOP!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MISSED YOU!!!!!!! Girl- you're fking amazing. Hands down. No questions. Ever. Please please pleeeeeaaaaase keep doing what you're doing and if I get the chance to see you when it's safer, I 100% will. Some of your songs are forever in my playlists. Much love- take care of yourself!
Woohoo, Mass Street busking!! I wish I had been downtown that day to see this! I would have been cheering so loudly for you. I am so sorry things have been so hard. But selfishly, I hope you never quit. Your voice gives me chills, and your tunes make me feel all the feelings. I am so happy you had fun doing this. The past couple of years have been ROUGH, on everyone, but I think creatives got hit harder than most. Maybe the hardest. It will get better. I think it pretty much has to. ♥️
This is a fantastic rendition! My band hasn't played live in almost two years and we just booked our first show back. It's nerve wracking, to be honest! But music is more important now than ever. Wishing you a fantastic 2022!
Lawrence is where I partied in Highschool....I graduated from Central Heights in Richmond, KS. I was active duty when the album came out....and it's still one of my all time favorite NIN albums. Also, I have played and sung this song once or twice. Also, Wish.
Another amazing performance. I've loved this song ever since stumbling upon it on the Rock Band video games, and your cover got me all excited over it again. Hope I get a chance to see you cover this live one day.
This is incredible, love this theme and I love your style and genius, your NIN covers are incredible and this song is by far my favorite. Love from Mexico!
Ah yeah! Awesome to see this pop up in my recommendations! I love nin AND Lawrence, Kansas. So great to see some live music happening ON Mass street!! 🤘
Love it. Having read your posts about the struggles of touring and creating in these times I’m so glad you had some fun out there on the streets reconnecting with your art and owning the shit out of it!
Kawehi, you are fantastic. I absolutely adore your renditions of the Nirvana tracks and NiN's 'Closer' and this was so badass too. Respect for getting over the stage-fright too, I know how intense the anxiety can be but once you start and zone in and you remember you do it because you love the feeling
If I had encountered this I would be wildly dancing in the video and not move from my spot until you stopped busking, this was one of the best busking performances I've EVER heard. Cannot believe the philistines that just walked by.

The guy that rode up on the bike couldn't keep the grin off his face. I wouldn't be able to, either. This is amazing.
Imagine hearing this amazing cover and just walking past....shake my damn head
My thoughts exactly. How could you walk by that? So talented!!

you would not. coz its not live. Its unfortunately pre-recorded :(
Can't understand the people who just carry on unimpressed. It's a sad time for art.
They hear only Britney Spears.
We white people aren't good at this. We mean well.

@@gamingwithtommikeIt's called imposter syndrome. Truly it's the most genuinely talented who suffer the most from it.
I don't think there is a better cover. More of this. Please!
As a NIN lover this is one the most incredible cover i've seen in a while. Keep it up!
did you already enjoy the head like a hole cover by eternal frequency? If not you should give it a shot
totally agreed.
There really is something special to busking. There’s nothing like setting up on a street corner where nothing is going on and essentially turning it into a show. Changes the whole vibe of the area in a matter of about 10 minutes.
Doesnt busking involve having a tip jar? Hah this girl got out of an audi and set her macbook on the sidewalk. Awesome performance nonetheless
@@j03y__ if you wanna get into semantics, I personally think that’s a waste of time, because you know exactly what I’m saying.
She changes the vibes in a heartbeat. There isn't anyone on the planet busking this awsum

First off, never be nervous. You're doing what you love, and people love it as well. You're so good, keep doing great shit!
Not the first NIN cover shes made me add to playlists- keep kicking ass.
I never want you to quit. I've enjoyed your music for years. I still listen to your cover of Heart Shaped Box.

You had me in 2015 when I saw you cover closer and this is the bee's knees! Congratulations on a fantastic NIN cover yet again.
I wish I could like this a dozen or 100 times. I discovered you through NIN covers a couple of years ago. You are amazing!

@@幸せ777 They are popular with Japanese music lovers!I watched live shows in Japan several times and it was cool!
I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR PLAYING ONE OF MY ALL TIME TOP SONGS ON GUITAR, YOU ROCK !!!
I LOVE this. The fact that you did this during December is awesome. The holiday music as you're setting up is great. PERFECT song choice for the holiday :)
One of the best covers I’ve seen so far done solo. 👏🏼
I'm soo glad you found the love in doing what you love again. You're far too amazing of an artist to give up on this. Seriously. KEEP GOING Kawehi. Me and soo many other people would be so bummed to find out you stopped. If you read dopamine nation or watched the Huberman lab podcast with Anna Lembke, It might help you appreciate that the lows are just part of it. JUST PLEASE DONT EVER STOP!
I'm happy to see you're still playing. This was awesome.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MISSED YOU!!!!!!!
Girl- you're fking amazing. Hands down. No questions. Ever.
Please please pleeeeeaaaaase keep doing what you're doing and if I get the chance to see you when it's safer, I 100% will. Some of your songs are forever in my playlists. Much love- take care of yourself!
Amazing as always! Come back to Dallas when things are back to normal!
Woohoo, Mass Street busking!! I wish I had been downtown that day to see this! I would have been cheering so loudly for you. I am so sorry things have been so hard. But selfishly, I hope you never quit. Your voice gives me chills, and your tunes make me feel all the feelings. I am so happy you had fun doing this. The past couple of years have been ROUGH, on everyone, but I think creatives got hit harder than most. Maybe the hardest. It will get better. I think it pretty much has to. ♥️
Absolutely killed, top notch
This is a fantastic rendition! My band hasn't played live in almost two years and we just booked our first show back. It's nerve wracking, to be honest! But music is more important now than ever. Wishing you a fantastic 2022!
Happy one year anniversary to this video. It's still amazing. Time to see what else you've been up to. ❤🔥❤🔥🔥🔥👍👍
OMG this is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! Seriously it’s just awesome. In awe listening to this 🤘
Lawrence is where I partied in Highschool....I graduated from Central Heights in Richmond, KS. I was active duty when the album came out....and it's still one of my all time favorite NIN albums. Also, I have played and sung this song once or twice. Also, Wish.
Another amazing performance. I've loved this song ever since stumbling upon it on the Rock Band video games, and your cover got me all excited over it again. Hope I get a chance to see you cover this live one day.
Brilliant. Reznor be proud.
This is incredible, love this theme and I love your style and genius, your NIN covers are incredible and this song is by far my favorite. Love from Mexico!
Ah yeah! Awesome to see this pop up in my recommendations! I love nin AND Lawrence, Kansas. So great to see some live music happening ON Mass street!! 🤘
I gotta go revisit that album (and NIN in general, honestly). Such a well-thought-out, excellently-performed cover!
Omfg- Soooooooooo glad you filmed this.
Standing Ovation- that was bloody brilliant!
Wow. What a big sound & great energy ! You killed it ! Thank you
Soooo good.... NIN forever !!!!
Love it. Having read your posts about the struggles of touring and creating in these times I’m so glad you had some fun out there on the streets reconnecting with your art and owning the shit out of it!
Inspiring. I've been following your music on youtube since around 2017. Glad to have you back!
Kawehi, you are fantastic. I absolutely adore your renditions of the Nirvana tracks and NiN's 'Closer' and this was so badass too. Respect for getting over the stage-fright too, I know how intense the anxiety can be but once you start and zone in and you remember you do it because you love the feeling
If I had encountered this I would be wildly dancing in the video and not move from my spot until you stopped busking, this was one of the best busking performances I've EVER heard. Cannot believe the philistines that just walked by.
Amazing inside and out, please don't ever stop doing you and what you love -- it makes all the difference in this world.
Best wishes.
I can't believe how much you've mastered the loop. It's amazing how easy you make it look
Você é muito foda!!! Ninguém faz o que você faz do jeito que você faz
