Lizzy has one of the most honest voices I’ve probably ever heard. Her songwriting shines not only through her lyrics and imagery but her voice and clever use of dynamics🥺
Erase me is one of the most musically satisfying song I've heard in a while. I thought it might have been due to Jacob Collier's insane harmonies but this version proves otherwise. It's just such a well written and perfectly performed song!
I think it sounds so much more beautiful without Collier’s faff! Her acoustic songs are gorgeous. altho no hate to the pop’d up ones, i love those too.
Feel like I got into Lizzy late in the game. Wish I could have spent more time watching her on the rise, but I'm pumped to have her to listen to now. What an incredible songwriter. Respect to her natural talent AND her hard work and dedication.
haha extra sauce is such a good way of putting it. i call it the 'frownsdown'. when something is so good you have to frown in recognition of it being superb. like amazing music or delicious food. that piano key was frownsdown
Why am I awake? Nails on the floor and soot on my tongue I don't know his name, but I still taste the rum (rum, rum, rum, rum) Nothing there but skin Skeletons crawl on the ceiling, they know That him and his aftershave hit like a drug (drug, drug, hmm) Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream And you're fading, but he feels like you in between I've said too much, in and out of wanting us Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase me? Who will erase me? Mmm Race you to the end (oh-woah) My innocence waits like it desperately knows That I'll crash if I don't let you go (go) Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream And you're fading, but he feels like you in between I've said too much, in and out of wanting us Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase me? Erase me? Erase me? And I wonder who will erase me? Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream And you're fading, but he feels like you in between I've said too much, in and out of wanting us Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase? Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream (scream) And you're fading (fading), but he feels like you in between And I've said too much, in and out of wanting us (in and out of wanting us) Now you're fading (fading) and I wonder who will erase me? Oh, who will erase me?
You know, I can see why she did this version herself. She's one of those artists that writes really well for her voice and style which makes it really hard for someone else to cover her songs genuinely....unless of course that someone else is India Carney😊

Yeah that’s what I said about 6 months ago. You need to check out both her incredible albums with all her original songs. She’s a vocal phenomenon and a poetic genius Also check out her movie version of Five Seconds Flat (her second album) on RUclips, it’s pure genius.
Only seconds in to this song you can tell Ryan knows how good it is. It is SO GOOD. Even the way they pick the guitar strings matches the airyness of her voice, but also changes when she tightens.
There are singing voices and then there are beautiful singing voices. Lizzy McAlpine possesses a beautiful singing voice. The accompanying musical artists provide the perfect landscape for Lizzy to freely paint upon. I am covered in goosebumps. 🎧💞
Grew up listening to punk, metal and funk, and I don't care who you are or what music you were brought up on, but as a musician, she is on my list of people who the music world really benefits from. Just an entity that exudes music, love it. Hope she keeps putting out more content. (P.S. yes I love Fishbone, before you ask)
wonderful performance! it's hard to fill in the gaps of flavour from Jacob in the full song, amazing what his contributions can do to the entire experience
sUbLime, Lizzy ❤️💘❤️ I really look forward to observing your evolution over time, Lizzy. You are by far one of the most eXceptional artists of this time. Thanks for letting your Light shine ✨
What a voice! What great, restrained accompaniment! Thanks, Lizzie. And thanks Ryan for putting all these acoustic gems out there as beautifully recorded as they've ever been. Much appreciated.
One of the most amazing renditions and amazing songs and amazing arrangements I have ever heard in my life!! And I am a multiple instrument proficient musician who loves music from the depth of my soul
Lizzy has one of the most honest voices I’ve probably ever heard. Her songwriting shines not only through her lyrics and imagery but her voice and clever use of dynamics🥺
Absolutely yes!
Incredible mix too. Hail to the sound engineers, which are mostly underated.
If you like this kind of color, dynamics and deep female voice, check Lianne la havas. (Thank me later 😄)
@@mttlsa686 Yeah I love Lianne La Havas. She's absolutely amazing
She's the female Jeff Buckley, if you ask me. Jeff also had a really amazing voice and a great use of dynamics.
Erase me is one of the most musically satisfying song I've heard in a while. I thought it might have been due to Jacob Collier's insane harmonies but this version proves otherwise. It's just such a well written and perfectly performed song!
I think it sounds so much more beautiful without Collier’s faff! Her acoustic songs are gorgeous. altho no hate to the pop’d up ones, i love those too.
I like this version better than the original! 🥺❤️
@@LarryS378 Absolutely.
i feel like even without his harmonies, jacob probably gave a lot in the writing process so the melodies still have his mark
@@e-linamarietrue
I love how delicately this version is played - light as a feather.
second this!!
🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶
She sounds so much better in these acoustic setups.
Love how the guitarist almost forgot to play because he was just listening and praising all the improv around him
right? lol!!
The stank face at 1:14 !
love ryan's stank face when he gets into a song@@dannielwheeler
this acoustic version has bond theme all over it!
Yep
welcome to chromatic progressions
Kek
Bond theme definitely. Erase me.
Yess the chromatic beauty!
That piano note hits hard, you know which one
caught off-guard
Like getting a single drop of rain in the face. ❤
The guitarist's stank face of approval @1:13 key note and @1:22 flawless vocal, is just *chef's kiss*
Feel like I got into Lizzy late in the game. Wish I could have spent more time watching her on the rise, but I'm pumped to have her to listen to now. What an incredible songwriter. Respect to her natural talent AND her hard work and dedication.
Something about this song being performed acoustically is spiritual. Didn’t think I could love this song more than I already do and yet here we are.
I love how the other guitarist's facial expressions, acknowledging when the others do something or add some extra sauce :)
I’m pretty sure he’s one of the main guys in the Professional Musicians react channel. Seems like a great dude
haha extra sauce is such a good way of putting it. i call it the 'frownsdown'. when something is so good you have to frown in recognition of it being superb. like amazing music or delicious food. that piano key was frownsdown
*My gosh, his nod of approval at **1:25*
SAME, SIR. SAME 🤭🙌🏻
He sends one the pianist's way just before that too.
Why am I awake?
Nails on the floor and soot on my tongue
I don't know his name, but I still taste the rum (rum, rum, rum, rum)
Nothing there but skin
Skeletons crawl on the ceiling, they know
That him and his aftershave hit like a drug (drug, drug, hmm)
Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading, but he feels like you in between
I've said too much, in and out of wanting us
Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase me?
Who will erase me? Mmm
Race you to the end (oh-woah)
My innocence waits like it desperately knows
That I'll crash if I don't let you go (go)
Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading, but he feels like you in between
I've said too much, in and out of wanting us
Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase me?
Erase me?
Erase me?
And I wonder who will erase me?
Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading, but he feels like you in between
I've said too much, in and out of wanting us
Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase?
Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream (scream)
And you're fading (fading), but he feels like you in between
And I've said too much, in and out of wanting us (in and out of wanting us)
Now you're fading (fading) and I wonder who will erase me?
Oh, who will erase me?
This whole session with Lizzy is some of the best Lizzy content online. You all captured her in her essence. We are grateful.
Lizzy‘s voice always sounds so pleasant. This song gives me Sade vibes btw.
I've been listening to this on loop since it came out, and now Stories are doing an acoustic version - best Christmas present ever 😊
I love the occasional head nod from Ryan, just like 'oh yeah that's the one' :D
Beautiful, smokey, clear, tender and inviting. Super range as well! Nicely done folks!
I don't even know why but smokey is a really good description
You know, I can see why she did this version herself. She's one of those artists that writes really well for her voice and style which makes it really hard for someone else to cover her songs genuinely....unless of course that someone else is India Carney😊
where i can find this cover? please send the link
Good lord her voice like gets into my bones and just lingers like wtf 😮💨😭 its too much, this version is soo beautiful.
LYRICS:
Why am I awake?
Nails on the floor
And soot on my tongue
I don't know his name
But I still taste the rum
Nothing there but skin
Skeletons crawl on the ceiling
They know
That him and his aftershave hit like a drug (drug, drug)
Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us
Now you're fading
And I wonder who will erase me
Who will erase me?
Race you to the end
My innocence waits like it desperately knows
That I'll crash if I don't let you go (go)
Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us (in and out of wanting us)
Now you're fading (fading)
And I wonder who will erase me
Erase me
Erase me
And I wonder who will erase me
Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us
Now you're fading
And I wonder who will erase
Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading (fading)
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us (in and out of wanting us)
Now you're fading (fading)
And I wonder who will erase me
Oh, who will erase me?
Soot or cert? After
drinking at the club bring a stranger home?
She's my new favorite artist. Damn good!
She makes it look easy but this is honestly a hard song to sing
Lizzy has said that this song was the hardest song to play on tour
because there's no tune that'll be why... stop pretending to like 'cool' overemotional songs that really aren't that good
@@wailer27 bro what 😂
Couldn't agree more!
@@Nedwin ...with my comment about it being tuneless... thanks!
I think half of this video's streams are mine. I'm SO IN LOVE with this song and specially this acoustic version
The other half are mine
That was hauntingly beautiful. Lizzy, I am without words.
THE RECONGITION LIZZY'S GETTING RN BRO!!
unbelievable, my allawardsoftheworldwinningqueen, leaves me crying with my old 60s soul.. lu forever
I'm a simple man. I come for Lizzy, I see Ryan, I subscribe
She's a star, a real one
Great! Now instead of playing the original on repeat I can alternate between the two! Amazing work!
I’ve never heard of her but holy crap she’s amazing!!!
Yeah that’s what I said about 6 months ago. You need to check out both her incredible albums with all her original songs. She’s a vocal phenomenon and a poetic genius Also check out her movie version of Five Seconds Flat (her second album) on RUclips, it’s pure genius.
Lizzy’s voice is out of this world 🌎 absolutely amazing 🤩
Ouch! This is truly wonderful, such a great voice and performance. Kudos to the sound engineer too, beautifully mixed and recorded!
she is such a genius
Now this is REAL music!! What a beautiful phrasing, atmosphere, harmony, just everything... pure perfection.
Only seconds in to this song you can tell Ryan knows how good it is. It is SO GOOD. Even the way they pick the guitar strings matches the airyness of her voice, but also changes when she tightens.
The piano in the intro makes the song sound so cinematic…such a beautiful song
WOW THIS IS HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL MY GOD THE RENDITION
We need this on spotify (2) i need to see your live show so much
literally my fav song of 2021
my goodness, one of the most beautiful performances i’ve ever heard
Heard one song and bought a ticket to her show. Can’t believe how incredible her voice is - I haven’t been this stunned by someone in a long time 😍
This is the best version...it's like a different song 💙
I discovered lizzy this year and have been her fan since then. Thanks for bringing her here.
same...she is the best!
Lizzy is a rare gem that sounds best live… her talent can shine through. This song is a masterpiece 🔥
There are singing voices and then there are beautiful singing voices. Lizzy McAlpine possesses a beautiful singing voice. The accompanying musical artists provide the perfect landscape for Lizzy to freely paint upon. I am covered in goosebumps. 🎧💞
I can't stop listening to this version. It haunts. taunts and fills as it drains. Siren song.
lizzy is my most favorite artist and this is SO beautiful
I pray that fame will not ruin this super-talented young singer/songwriter! She will definitely achieve a lot of attention, and deservedly so!
Grew up listening to punk, metal and funk, and I don't care who you are or what music you were brought up on, but as a musician, she is on my list of people who the music world really benefits from. Just an entity that exudes music, love it. Hope she keeps putting out more content.
(P.S. yes I love Fishbone, before you ask)
wonderful performance! it's hard to fill in the gaps of flavour from Jacob in the full song, amazing what his contributions can do to the entire experience
The melody of this song is so compelling. Halfway through the video I just had to start singing along.
Absolutely beautiful arrangement. So sparse and delicate without feeling empty or drab. Incredible musicianship and an incredible performance!
sUbLime, Lizzy ❤️💘❤️
I really look forward to observing your evolution over time, Lizzy.
You are by far one of the most eXceptional artists of this time.
Thanks for letting your Light shine ✨
What a voice! What great, restrained accompaniment!
Thanks, Lizzie. And thanks Ryan for putting all these acoustic gems out there as beautifully recorded as they've ever been. Much appreciated.
I'm obsessed with this song. Lizzy's performance is magnificent, it produces chills. Congrats !!

I KNEW AN ACOUSTIC VERSION WOULD BE AMAZING

Absolutely awesome. I like it better than the fully produced version. Lizzy is a star, she’s not just a brilliant voice she’s a goddamn genius.
At the top of the world. Such an underrated artist.
So so good. This is my favourite version. Goose bumps for me. So much space.
