I don't believe I've ever heard Kansas covered so brilliantly. Amazing vocals and incredible instrumentation. The hallmark of Livgren/Walsh/Steinhardt. Unbelievable.
Livgren should be humbled by the tremendous honour bestowed un to him of this incredible dedication and performance.
Kerry Livgren needs to see this - this is brilliantly done. It added a bit of a celtic flavor to an already great tune.
here is his facebook profile...facebook.com/kerry.livgren.1
She sounds very Celtic but dont confuse yourself with the true spirit of these Kansas songs

I Concur❗💜
Yes. May Kerry hear this and be honored. 🎖
I can't even begin to describe how awestruck I was while listening and watching this incredible performance. The closest I could come would be to say that I was as captivated, uplifted and inspired as I was the first time I heard Kansas play it themselves many years ago. Yes, I do mean that. I'm searching Facebook, RUclips and elsewhere now to find more music by you wonderful artists. All the best. You're remarkable and certainly an unexpected miracle out of nowhere.
Same thoughts over here
Not only perfectly played, but it is a perfectly syncronized handcrafted video. Such tslent and skill was put into this production
these kids get it! i love it. gives me hope for the musical future. talented as hell too!
:) Many thanks!
This is one of the best covers of any song I've ever seen. Miracles Out Of Nowhere is a song I hold very close to my heart, and your interpretation and execution of this cover is an incredible achievement. I've watched this video like it's a song in my Spotify library for years. Both of y'all's talent is something you should be extremely proud of. Hope all is well, God bless.
Thank you very much ❤
HOLY SHIT!! That is is one of the most intricate Kansas songs to cover especially the fugue bridge. You guys nailed it with precision and lots of invention. Bravo!! It's great to see younger folks appreciate music many of us were fortunate enough to grow up with.
Thank you so much for your words :)
I agree with you, this tune was insanely great!! If they can do "Miracles", surely they can kill "Magnum Opus"!! !!

I used to Cover Quite a few Kansas Songs starting at the age of 16 as well as originals(I'm old Enough to be Your Auntie now😉) And Martin,
You my Brother are Gifted by YAHWEH Himself!!
You are A Young Old Soul
Your Playing is Phenom
& You can Sing too❓
I'm sharing this with some of my Colleagues. I Know it Will Bless them!
@@siciliansistah Thank you so much :) We do our best. If you like our covers, feel free to check out our webpage www.gray-matters.de We have a couple of CDs.
Kansas was the soundtrack to my childhood, thanks for the memories!
I feel the need to mention that this song is 45 YEARS OLD! These two do an incredible job with this. I love that music like this is STILL getting the respect it deserves.
Thank you very much 😀 We have lots of more here on RUclips. Also a few Kansas Covers. Feel free to check them out!
This is nothing short of sensational, it is a Miracle Out of Nowhere.
Thank you very much 😊
I can't believe how cool this is. We're not worthy.
It seems to me that Melanie & Martin go after the most complex Kansas tunes. Now that they have released Song For America, it seems they are just showing off! Incredible musicianship and talent! Thank you!
Thank you so much my friend! This is one of our first covers we did ☺️
Your cover of this song grabbed me by the heart & had tears streaming down my face. I feel music very deeply as I feel emotionally connected to it.
Wow! Thank you! These are warm words! :) If you are interested in our CDs, just say. We have covers and originals. Just send me an email to martinschnella@gmx.de
BTW, I found this vid a while back and return occasionally to listen AND watch. I am a 65 yr old veteran musician and I thought I was good until I saw you two "kids". Kansas always a favorite but I like YOUR version better! Absolutely incredible!
Unbelievably stunning performance. As a multi-instrumentalist myself, I can hear the love and appreciation you bring to this song and Kansas as a whole. I wasn't expecting to have my mind blown. It takes a lot to impress me, and you had my attention till the end. I can't believe it took 8 years for me to see this post.
Hey Bernie,
Thank you so much for your kind feedback ☺️
Good job preserving the integrity of the original arrangement while adding your own personal touches. Bravo!
David Hancock Thank you 😀
I can't believe this is over 5 years old! You are steamrolling with ALL of YOUR Music, and the Covers that Blow your Fans AWAY.
Thank you very much 😊 Feel free to check out our CDs if you like. www.gray-matters.de
This is such an incredible rendition of a true masterpiece...Well done Martin
I just discovered your Kansas covers tonight and I'm thinking, how did I not know about these? They are just amazing!
This is one of those Kansas songs (and there are so many of them) that fills my soul with emotion, though this is the only one that brings tears to my eyes. From top to bottom and beginning to end, an amazing work of art.
Thank you so much ☺️
Breathtaking! Beautiful! Brilliant!
Thank you for honoring Kerry and Kansas this way. Thank you for keeping this awesome legacy alive.
Thank you Joe 😊
You still bring me to tears. Words fail me.
Amazing. This is maybe my favorite song ever, and I've never heard it covered well until now. This blows it out of the park. I especially like how you can see and hear the fugue section (starting at 2:26) better than in the original recording. So great! Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad @Kansas shared you on their FB feed.
Incredible talent and execution. This cover has the spirit of the original, but they also made it their own, instead of copying.
I have no clue why this song isn't a universally known classic piece of music. It's one of all time favorite songs.
Kansas was/is a great band, and you guys have done this tune justice.
Thank you 😊
Not sure how this could be any better. I feel like I'm listening to Kansas for the first time and that is an incredible feeling.
Thank you 😊
Melanie und Martin ... mir fehlen die Worte! Als "die-hard" Kansas fan und selbst Kollaborateur einiger Kansas covers muss sagen, euer video haut mich echt vom Hocker,und das passiert nicht alzu oft. WOW!!! Bravissimo ... einfach perfect, weiter so.... Grüsse aus Brasilien!
OUTSTANDING !!!!! Have been listening , and enjoying Kansas since they were new !!!!! Thank you for making their music enjoyable for generations to come ! ( try something , from one of their first 3 albums ?? )
the last few seconds of the dying notes that just whisp into thin air is sublime.
Wow , and u might wonder what hearing Kansas in concert may have been like .
I cried three times, then I watched you'all a fourth time to see what you were doing. I've never seen or heard anything better than this. It's true.
Oh wow!!! Thank you so much. We did a couple of Kansas Covers and many more. We also have CDs we send worldwide. Just check out our Shop at www.gray-matters.de if you are interested 😀
EXCELLENT! I saw Kansas do this live in Chicago 1976, and it was very close to this. Awesome!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!! ☺️
Now we want the Martin and Melanie U.S. tour - not enough words to describe for an all time Kansas fan
Words can't describe how wonderful this is !!!
Thank you Leonard!! ❤❤❤
Female vocals on a Kansas song are phenomenal ! great work guys
Thank you so much ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
This sent shivers down my spine. I've never heard a better Kansas cover, and seldom a better cover of any kind. Bravo!!!!
Thank you very much ☺️
I have loved this song since 1979 and just watched Kansas play it live tonight for my fourth concert of theirs. Your cover is the most honorable one I have ever heard. Well done.
On a Crystal Morning..........I can see how BRILLIANT this cover is.
Thank you 😀 We have lots more here and RUclips. Feel free to check them out
1st saw Kansas in 1975. They opened for ZZ Top. Opened with Song for America. Seen them 5 times since. Blew ZZ away. You do a good job
Thank you Mike ☺️
Brilliant arrangement. Stupendous performance. A true masterpiece. Thanks so much!
OMG agree 100 + 10%! Unbelievable guys. Brought tears just listening to one of my favorites from my favorite band. 10,000 Thanks.
Thank you very much Frank ❤️❤️
I'm speechless.......standing ovation to both of you!
Thank you 😊😊
Damn! As a fan of Kansas since 1973,that is the best cover I have ever heard! Absolutely awesome! With Kansas' influence and your talent,there are great things in store for you!
Mark Scutti Thank you Mark. 😀 Check out our other Kansas Covers.
Martin Schnella You bet I will! Keep up the good work!
5 years later, and I'm just now hearing this....and I am blown away, What an excellent rendition of one of my favorite Kansas songs (that's not really fair, I have many). I watched The Pinnacle...then this. Nice.
Thank you very much 😊
ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME! UNREAL! WOW!
Miracles Out of Nowhere is one of my all time favorites and this cover was brilliantly done. Thanks for your obvious appreciation of a masterpiece and your talent in the cover of this song.
Thank you so much Larry ❤️
Not really purely acoustic, but what a wonderful rendition of that genius tune! Livgren would definitely approve. And I do too!!
Of all the KANSAS songs, MOON gives me the goosebumps every time! Martin, your guitar skills are simply amazing, and Melanie has that knack for giving the spot on inflection in her voice that is just incredible! I have heard this song a thousand times, yet your cover is by far the best rendition of all! I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying Invoke The Ghosts double CD also! Thank you for your continued efforts and musical expertise!
Thank you very much Mark ❤️❤️❤️
I cant even imagine how long it took to learn, rehearse, record, film and edit all this..great job!
Thank you Rober! 😊 It took a bit. We also play it in a more acoustically Version live
Wow, wow, wow. Here I am back commenting again...I don't know how a cover can get any better than this. Superlative in every way. I love the fresh take on the song (one of my all-time favourite Kansas tunes), the innovative instrumentation, how you added extra harmonies here and there so tastefully, the virtuosity of the playing, the clean and free vocals, the recording and mixing, it's all just top notch.
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you Brian
Man, this is one of my favorite Kansas tunes. So well done.
Absolutely BRILLIANT (as always), Martin!!!
Thanks Sonya :)
Phenomenal rendering of an Art Rock classic! Guitar and bass are dead on...this woman's voice pierces my soul.
EXCELLENT ! Brought back memories of a great era !
Thank you Mike 😍
I hope these folks write a prog-rock album of all original songs. I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Covering Kansas is awesome but I'd love to hear some original music from them!!!
Thank you William ! We already did a few Albums with originals. Check out our Flaming Row album "The Pure Shine" and our acoustic Album "The Oblivion Tales" . 😊 www.gray-matters.de
Just saw Kansas live last night here on Long Island. They hit it out of the ballpark! But this cover gives me chills and fits of smiles! Great job, guys. Keep it going!
Thank you so much Luo 😀
@@MartinSchnella : Absolutely. God bless you, brother
Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!
Thank you 😊
I have been a Kansas follower for 38 years. I am a drummer, but love all instruments. This arrangement and production is an absolute tribute to the creative style and drive of Kansas music. I greatly appreciate this video. I hope members of Kansas can view it. I wish i could play guitar like that!!!!
This was absolutely stupendous!!!! You my friend are outrageously gifted. I wish the best for you and hope your talent is being rewarded.
A lot of humanity in that cover.
Amazing!!! Guys! Hats off from an old Kansas fan, have seen them 6 times! The ones who gave a thumbs down??? WHAT ARE YOU DOIN???
Thank you very much! William, did you See, that we did a lit more? We also have CDs. Check out our homepage www.gray-matters.de 😊😊
That is one of the Best covers of any song I've ever seen. And to play Kansas! Wow. You guys are Fantastic. I can't stop watching this. Truly Amazing. Thanks for recording this.

@Martin Schnella I've seen many of your songs. Love them all but this song has meaning to me and yours is the Best I've ever seen.
Kerry Livgren would approve!
It is so rare to find a Kansas cover act let alone one so excellent. They are very true to the original while adding a unique flavor all their own. This was quite an unexpected treat!
Absolutely phenomenal! Incredible Kanasa cover! Wow! I mean freakin' wow!!!!!!
Thank you Scott 😊
You two are EFFIN AWESOME!!! And that's coming from an, old, jaded, worn out rocker trying to grow old gracefully. I've played lead guitar in dozens of bands over tha last 40 yrs, hung out with Garcia, etc but YOU GUYS rock so spectacularly, I am absolutely gob-smacked!! Vocals, instruments, arrangement, mix....al of it superb!
Thank you so much ☺️
Best Kansas cover ever.
OUTSTANDING!
Another one you simply NAILED! Your two voices are complimentary so much like Steve and Robbie. I'm thoroughly overjoyed! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Mark!!! 😍☺️
This is one of my favorite Kansas tunes. THANK YOU for covering this song so brilliantly! Come to the states! You will kill it here! You ROCK! Love this! You need to cover "THE WALL", by Kansas, now THAT song is amazing!
Thank you so much Tyla 😀❤️❤️❤️
FABULOUS!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC! Kansas , awesome band, your cover amazing! Thank you!
Phenomenal cover video. Awesome!
I consider “Miracles Out Of Nowhere” to be the greatest rock song of all time. And your version only adds confirmation to my opinion. Nicely done!
Thank you so much 😊
I’m a die hard fan of Kansas and I’m amazed how they captured the essence of the song. Very good indeed. Kerry Livgren should be proud of this
Thank you Andy!! 😀
Martin Schnella you’re welcome
Has Kerry Livgren ever seen this?
Wow, from a lifelong Kansas fan, this is absolutely fantastic! Thank you, just incredibly well-done!

You all are amazing. This is one of my favorite Kansas songs and you are so talented with your instruments and vocals. Well done.
Thank you Matthew 😊😊😊
Another tastefully done Kansas cover ! Excellent !

Stunning!

Maybe one day new music like this will be the norm.
Steve,Robby,Kerry,Phil,Rich,and Dave would be proud.
Not to mention the newer band members.ROCK ON !
Harry Hathaway Thank you 😀
That is absolutely super, super fantastic.
That was a joy to watch and listen to, Thanks 👍
Wow, that's an awesome cover! Good job!
One of your best mixing efforts! It's hard to simulate the sound of the violin, but that's the best effort I've ever heard :)
Breathtaking , Im having multiple eargasms !!!
Impressive & masterful performance, folks. You just raised this beautiful piece to the forefront. Thank you..
Thank you very much 😊
Simply SUPERB!

@@MartinSchnella KANSAS is in my top 2 of all rock bands. I've had the pleasure to see them many times over the years and every show was a show to remember. I hope you have more Kansas numbers out there...... Take good care.. Dave (Pittsburgh Pa.)
