"When I was a young man; I had liberty but I didn’t see it, I had time but I didn’t know it, I had love but I didn’t feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three"
And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment. Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia. Forever yours, Ezio Auditore.
Before I even listen, I knew two things. First, it was going to be another piece of art. Second, it was going to be way too short. Can't wait for the next one, as always.
@@nikodemorzechowski9144, if you allow me, that's actually latin, not italian, and the meaning is different. "Nihil verum est, licent omnia" means "Nothing is true, everything is permitted".
"Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember, Nothing is true. Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember, Everything is permitted." -The Assassins Creed
This is why I prefer the Templar. Law is what keeps people from committing whatever atrocity suits them at the time. If you don't listen to your own conscience, what kind of man are you? What gives the Assassins the right to decide what is correct action, especially if they don't limit themselves to law and morality? What gives them the right to work outside the rule of law? What right do they have to ignore what morally right and do whatever they want? When a man does something an atrocious act even though they know it's evil, what kind of man are they? I don't agree with the Templars that want a complete dictatorship, but the Assassins' creed basically says that they don't have to hold themselves accountable for their actions. May the Father of Understanding guide us.
The creed is not an excuse to run wild, it is a warning. Though we believe we live in a civilised world, it is more or less an illusion that holds it together. We cannot hide behind doctrine and dogma, nor excuse the crimes of others simply because their god told them it was merited. The maxim is an observation of the nature of reality.
I was 12 when i heard this song for the first time. Now im 25 and still get goosebumps like it was the first time. Congratulations for this cover, you did a amazing job 👏
@@cutecell2798 yup I was 12 like him and now I’m 25 and before you know you’ll be 25 talking to a 12 year old.. one thing you’ll learn as you get older is History tends to repeat it self
I was 12 too when I first played an assassin's Creed game which was nothing but Legendary Assassin's Creed II. The moment when Ezio and his brother climbs the tower and a legendary song is played❤
@@iso6610 I kinda remembered that one part from the Mandalorian (spoiler alerts), where they said that being Mandalorian isn't a race, but a creed. What I said is slightly different, but yeah.
Assassin's Creed II was the very first game in the franchise I played, and it's had a lasting impression on me ever since. This is by far the most beautiful cover of its theme I've ever heard.
My friend.. you have revolutionized Assassins Creed: Ezio's Family. I thank you, this sent incredible shivers down my spine as well as forced a tear. You have my eternal gratitude for this. Absolutely beautiful.
I just witness *TRUE BEAUTY* and hope for this world! I have not dropped tears for music in a long time. The moment the slow build-up humming started I was immersed in its beauty and Ezio's story. Thank you Rachel Hardy for letting me experience once more of this feeling when I first played the game but this time it was more immense and with heart. 🙏
"Wings spread broken Life lost meaning" - AC 1, Altair lost his Assassin priviledge and had to regain his place, while discovering the order he fought his whole life for is corrupt "One last prayer One more feeling" - Ezio's Journey, learning to pray for his fallen enemies while also learning to live a good life "Song of hope and liberation" - Connor and Aveline fighting to regain their freedom "Fight for honor, fight for freedom" - Edward learning to live with honour and fight for a better cause, because it will lead to his ultimate freedom
@@TheStarkiller96 you're absolutely right! I thought of Adewale on the "song of hope and liberation", but forgot the DLC when the last verse came on xD
"My story is one of many thousands, and The world Will not suffer if it ends too soon..." Altho the world would suffer if you stopped singing. I've said it a hundred times and I Will say it a hundred more, great cover. It is truly a priveledge to listen to your voice. Little rays of light like this makes it a little bit easier to keep pushing forward. Hope you're doing great, see you when The next video drops
Played AC2 back in highschool and have absolutely loved this tune to this day. Listening to your cover brought back a lot of memories. You have an amazing voice, Rachel. Thanks for making this cover!
Just for the record, 4 months on I still listen/watch this a few times a week, still one of the best versions of this song I’ve ever found anywhere, you really outdid yourself on this one, keep up the good work!
"To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic."
Can’t stop listening to this, it sounds amazing and really makes me think about his story, all his success and losses from beginning with his brother in a street fight to the end sitting on a bench where his family died. You nailed it and thank you for this masterpiece.
One of my new favorite videos. Assassin's Creed 2 will always hold a special place in my heart, each year I go back and replay the Ezio Collection all the way through again, and you've truly done something special with my favorite video game theme. Just...incredible.
I commented on this video a long while ago. And I still wanna say.. this is the most beautiful masterpiece I've heard in all my 23 years.. your voice is just majestic. Keep doing what you're doing ❤🌹
@@RachelHardy I feel like I'll look back on my life and there will be a pre Rachel Hardy cover of Ezio's Family period and a post Rachel Hardy cover of Ezio's Family period.
This is ridiculously good. I can’t tell you how many covers I have listened to of this song but have never heard it done like this. Very very well done 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was glorious, perfect in every way..then she added lyrics and my god.... I dont have words. I dont know how you did this, but you just perfected perfection
When I saw you were about to post a cover of Ezio's Family I wasn't that stoked. The song means so much to me as well as the Assassin's Creed franchise, not all covers give that same feeling as the original. However, the goosebumps and the feeling of home that I always feel when listening to the original version also appeared at yours. I love how you decided to do the lyrics at the end. Well done!
This is sick....it is almost miraculous to see someone so much beatiful to bring even more beauty to song such is this... i always loved Ezio's theme, but with your vocal and your face it gets absolutely new and divine shape
Clicks like, clicks loop, proceeds to watch video already knowing both are going to be worth it 20 times over :D Awesome rendition of what is already an amazing theme. But that's nothing new for you XD Amazing job as always Rachel!
omg this was amazing i have played AC:2,revelation and brotherhood so much and this brought me back to all the good times playing those 3 games. i wanna replay those games now whit this in the background on repeat. fantastic as always Rachel hope you have a nice day :D
I am a boy from Argentina who discovered your channel recently and I really love how you sing. I listened to your interpretation of Ezio Family and it made my hair stand on end. I really love how you sing.
I’ve been playing assassins creed for such a long time and when ever I hear this song I get goosebumps I wish I found this along time ago but you did this so well I got a little emotional but it was so good and the fog in my head cleared for these few minutes
Those lyrics are awesome! I also love that you included Latin, that's so great!! I just finished my first year of Latin (though I get more exposure than most at my church), so it was really cool seeing it incorporated into this. Never heard it outside of sacred music. Anyways, that was AMAZING! Thank you for always putting out good content.
@@RachelHardy If you would actually like to know, the only thing I hear is "licent" ought to be "lee-saint" as opposed to "lay-sahnt." Other than that I could understand it, though, as I said, I have only taken one year of Latin.
If it's not considered sacred music for you, might I suggest any of Mozart's choral pieces, Trevor? I did sing some of his Requiem pieces during my high school choir days, so I can definitely confirm his choral pieces are in Latin.
@@betholiver4742 Thank you so much for the suggestion. I am very inexperienced in classical music (I didn't even know Mozart had choral compositions), but I am starting to get into it more. Thanks!
@@trevorthorp5233 Of couse! Dies Irae and Lacrimosa are part of his Requiem suite, so I'd start there if I were you! Beautiful pieces originally written for Requiem Mass, or old Renaissance funeral.
Really made me miss the old assassin's Creed games. The new ones just don't do it for me. These first ones were such a new experience and such a great new story in a place I would never have searched for one. Great song.
Probably because new games aren't AC games at all. They'll be good games in their own rights, great RPGs, great settings/locations/atmosphere, but it's just not assassin's creed anymore, it lost all the meaning, sadly.
I haven't played any of the games involving Ezio, but omg this song is so stunning🥺 It's like there's this fear slowly turning into a panic, but there's a faint whisper of "It's ok. Everything's going to be ok. Just trust your heart."
Then sweetheart you've got to play, I don't have to say anything, the comments above and below say it all, I feel all of them.... Ezio Auditore is not just a Game Character. The biggest reason why we're madly in love with him is not just the story, It's Uniqueness is that we get to see him BORN, Become a MAN, grow OLD and die a peaceful death at the age 65, all those worth of storyline, no one even knows themselves that closely. That is alone why he should be an icon, but HE IS BEYOND AMAZING, (Everything about him) Just Give it a GO
@Zel Zerat you just said something amazing! People who never played ezio before always thinks it's not worth it, because they don't know! And they don't even wanna listen...they don't know what is ezio throughout the trilogy, if they are true assassin's creed fans, ezio is their favorite.
ibam not even a hardcore AC fan but you gotta play the old classics, AC:Brotherhood is peak of Classic AC and u will get more out of it if u play AC2 . ezio trilogy is worth it
Good lord i got the chills. This was beautifully made and done. First assassin's creed i played was 2 and been in love with the franchise since. Was 12 when i played, 24 now.
@@RachelHardy Ok so I knew about that button while viewing on my laptop but assumed there wasn’t one for phone…because of your comment I double checked and you just saved me a lot of money on my car insurance Rachel THANK YOU 🙏🏼😭
I watch this video specifically before training for kick boxing. I feel as if, denoting your voice as a 'gift' feels more as an insult, as it implies you gained your voice through means out of your control. Your voice, besides the music, makes me feel such a way not many forms of music do, its something primal, protective, as if its something higher than me that needs to be preserved. For all i know, your voice went through the rugged terrains of practice to perfect what you have now. You define artistic beauty, the Ezio collection is a brilliant piece of music but you, Rachel, add what very few in the music industry can, and thats making it art. Edit: If you do happen to read over this Rachel, whatever time it may be. I'm sure you've heard of the hedonic cycle, where whatever success an individual achieves which was previously a highly ambitious goal, now makes you apathetic once you've achieved it. I really hope you pursue this, your voice could be a gateway to unforeseen art, I really hope you do this because YOU love it as such and never due to audience demands or trends. I hope your voice remains immortalized for many more to listen to.
This made me emotional. Like the first time I played the game back in the days. So beautiful, gave me chills!!! Is there gonna be any covers you do that I won't like? I don't think so...
This is the video that popped into my RUclips recommendations and made me subscribe to this channel.Now I'm back after watching (almost) all the previous videos. Enjoying your covers and still wishing to hear more of your original compositions.
After listening to your songs I have now watched The Witcher, re-watched the LOTR and Hobbit movies, and am aching to play BG3.. let's add Assassin's Creed to that list :) You are really talented, have an amazing voice and I sincerely hope you are enjoying making this content as much as I am sure we all love listening to it.
If you didn't play to any AC, I recommend you to start as follow: AC 2, brotherhood, revelations, AC1 (old game but really interesting for the story behind), AC3, (AC4 blackflag important if you like the lore, or pirates, not really important if you want to stay close to the AC2 atmosphere), AC rogue, unity, syndicate (not quite necessary scenario wise imo but nice atmosphere and musics), origins, odyssey (be sure you have the atlantis quests available in your version) and vikings (I just finished Odyssey so I don't know if Vikings is important to play scenario wise) You can find the games up to AC syndicate really cheap on instantgaming or during steam sales if you do want to purchase them. :)
I look forward to hearing it, I've played the Assassin's Creed 2, and I enjoyed it, and it sets out the storyline of Ezio... I won't be awake at the premiere, but I'll definitely listen to it as soon as I'm able, I'm pretty sure I'll bring back memories
I know the song itself is amazing but when it comes up when Kassandra says "the wolf of Sparta is my father" and the game pans out for the title. That's goosebumps!
Personally, Odyssey was the best game in the franchise. It's so filled with emotion and care. Seeing your comment I looked up this part to see one more time and got goosebumps all over again. Amazing game!
@@DanielSlva I'd say the same too. I like the Ezio Trilogy but I couldn't connect to it the way I connected to Odyssey. Something about Kassandra was just amazing. Loved the Greece setting too
“Wings spread broken Life lost meaning One last prayer One more feeling” Good god damn you captured the story of Ezio so well after the loss of his father and brothers and before he was an assassin and really well followed the rest of his life as an assassin “Song of hope and liberation Fight for honor Fight for freedom” Perfect poetry and perfectly singed A true masterpiece!

Another incredible arrangement. You choose these so perfectly. I’ve enjoyed Jesper Kyd’s choral cues from Hitman: Blood Money too so this AC one had all the feels. I really hope one day to hear you live. 😁🎶
@@RachelHardy Absolutely you’re an amazing singer, plus you’re stunning and seem really sweet all in one. People tell me I have a good voice, but for radio or bc I can switch it up like voice acting. I think you do a phenomenal job with these and I’d love to see you do I really want to stay at you’re house or never fade away for cyber punk. There are others too, but everything you do is fire girl. I think you’re a beautiful soul and a kindhearted spirit, hopefully you keep making awesome vids. I also prefer you’re natural eyes, yet it’s cool how you change it up from time to time.
This was truly beautiful. Your voice never, ever ceases to amaze me Rachel, honestly I would love a video on how you learned to sing, if you've had lessons, what warmups you do etc, honestly I would rewatch that over and over and over til I can recite it basically word for word cause it would just be such useful advice for shy singers who love singing like me
Спустя столько лет, этот трек все равно пробирает до мурашек! Это самая лучшая игра от Ubisoft которая когда либо была, есть и наверняка будет!!! Спасибо вам за AC 2!!!!
Your voice is so mesmerizing. You really bring back that feeling, that tune..damn it's all coming back. And from 1:54 you just go battle mode, your own version, I really love this. Bless you for doing this. Keep going Rachel, you're fucking amazing.

omg this was amazing i have played AC:2,revelation and brotherhood so much and this brought me back to all the good times playing those 3 games. i wanna replay those games now whit this in the background on repeat. fantastic as always Rachel hope you have a nice day :D
Your voice has an unmatched etheric beauty that matches this song perfectly.
I am a boy from Argentina who discovered your channel recently and I really love how you sing. I listened to your interpretation of Ezio Family and it made my hair stand on end. I really love how you sing.
I’ve been playing assassins creed for such a long time and when ever I hear this song I get goosebumps I wish I found this along time ago but you did this so well I got a little emotional but it was so good and the fog in my head cleared for these few minutes
Those lyrics are awesome! I also love that you included Latin, that's so great!! I just finished my first year of Latin (though I get more exposure than most at my church), so it was really cool seeing it incorporated into this. Never heard it outside of sacred music. Anyways, that was AMAZING! Thank you for always putting out good content.
You'll have to give me a score on pronunciation, I kinda just guessed based off of what I learned of Latin in elementary school. Glad you liked it!
@@RachelHardy If you would actually like to know, the only thing I hear is "licent" ought to be "lee-saint" as opposed to "lay-sahnt." Other than that I could understand it, though, as I said, I have only taken one year of Latin.
If it's not considered sacred music for you, might I suggest any of Mozart's choral pieces, Trevor? I did sing some of his Requiem pieces during my high school choir days, so I can definitely confirm his choral pieces are in Latin.
@@betholiver4742 Thank you so much for the suggestion. I am very inexperienced in classical music (I didn't even know Mozart had choral compositions), but I am starting to get into it more. Thanks!
@@trevorthorp5233 Of couse! Dies Irae and Lacrimosa are part of his Requiem suite, so I'd start there if I were you! Beautiful pieces originally written for Requiem Mass, or old Renaissance funeral.
Really made me miss the old assassin's Creed games. The new ones just don't do it for me. These first ones were such a new experience and such a great new story in a place I would never have searched for one. Great song.
Probably because new games aren't AC games at all. They'll be good games in their own rights, great RPGs, great settings/locations/atmosphere, but it's just not assassin's creed anymore, it lost all the meaning, sadly.

I haven't played any of the games involving Ezio, but omg this song is so stunning🥺
It's like there's this fear slowly turning into a panic, but there's a faint whisper of "It's ok. Everything's going to be ok. Just trust your heart."
Then sweetheart you've got to play, I don't have to say anything, the comments above and below say it all, I feel all of them....
Ezio Auditore is not just a Game Character.
The biggest reason why we're madly in love with him is not just the story, It's Uniqueness is that we get to see him BORN, Become a MAN, grow OLD and die a peaceful death at the age 65, all those worth of storyline, no one even knows themselves that closely.
That is alone why he should be an icon, but HE IS BEYOND AMAZING, (Everything about him)
Just Give it a GO
@Zel Zerat you just said something amazing! People who never played ezio before always thinks it's not worth it, because they don't know! And they don't even wanna listen...they don't know what is ezio throughout the trilogy, if they are true assassin's creed fans, ezio is their favorite.
ibam not even a hardcore AC fan but you gotta play the old classics, AC:Brotherhood is peak of Classic AC and u will get more out of it if u play AC2 . ezio trilogy is worth it
You got a subscriber
The lyrics were so on point! The latin one gave chills, so much chills.
wow , This is one of my favourite songs
It felt epic when I heard this during the game
Thank you very much Rachel , enjoyed it , Best of Luck !
Such a great melody! Still brings me chills every time I hear it! So much nostalgia!
Your voice is perfect for it too!
this one really hits on levels you cant explain, amazing video production
This is one of my all-time favorite pieces, ever sine playing the game as a teenager.
Your rendition is beautiful.
It's definitive
This become one of the greatest Ezio's Family covers on RUclips, what a beautiful and powerful voice, i love it.
Wow thank you so much!
One of the best cover I have ever heard. Keep going Rachel
I got goose bumps all over my body at this angelic voice, just mega what she has created there
Good lord i got the chills. This was beautifully made and done. First assassin's creed i played was 2 and been in love with the franchise since. Was 12 when i played, 24 now.
This music and depth of character (AC 2- AC 4) is what makes u fall in love with Assassin's creed series oh and the simplicity of gameplay as well
This is going to a *repeat for ten hours* type covers that’s for sure. I’m ready!
thank goodness youtube introduced the loop button
@@RachelHardy Ok so I knew about that button while viewing on my laptop but assumed there wasn’t one for phone…because of your comment I double checked and you just saved me a lot of money on my car insurance Rachel THANK YOU 🙏🏼😭
Well this comment thread just single-handedly changed my life.
Aaahhh... The Memories. My childhood 🥺❤️ Tears of Nostalgia 🥲. Thank you for such a wonderful cover.
Happily watching this with chills,goosebumps and tears
I've listened to it several times already and it still gives me goosebumps.
I watch this video specifically before training for kick boxing. I feel as if, denoting your voice as a 'gift' feels more as an insult, as it implies you gained your voice through means out of your control.
Your voice, besides the music, makes me feel such a way not many forms of music do, its something primal, protective, as if its something higher than me that needs to be preserved. For all i know, your voice went through the rugged terrains of practice to perfect what you have now.
You define artistic beauty, the Ezio collection is a brilliant piece of music but you, Rachel, add what very few in the music industry can, and thats making it art.
Edit: If you do happen to read over this Rachel, whatever time it may be. I'm sure you've heard of the hedonic cycle, where whatever success an individual achieves which was previously a highly ambitious goal, now makes you apathetic once you've achieved it.
I really hope you pursue this, your voice could be a gateway to unforeseen art, I really hope you do this because YOU love it as such and never due to audience demands or trends. I hope your voice remains immortalized for many more to listen to.
This made me emotional. Like the first time I played the game back in the days. So beautiful, gave me chills!!! Is there gonna be any covers you do that I won't like? I don't think so...
- Наша жизнь прекрасна, брат.
- Великолепна!

Жизнь - это бочка с ссаниной, в которой ты барахтаешься лет 50 в попытке не утонуть. Но в конце всё равно захлёбываешься и тонешь.
@@ДиментийБубентий интересное замечание 🤔🙄
А вот и русские комментарии. И отсылочка к начале игре, аж прослезился что игра вышла 12 лет назад и захотелось снова пройти🥲
@@DarkKnight0141 а я вот сейчас как раз заканчиваю перепроходить вторую часть 😅
You made me cry with such talent, thank you. I feel fortunate to be able to listen to you sing, a real blessing.
This is so pure honestly when i feel hopeless then pop this on the you feel as if youve been destined to do great things
This is the video that popped into my RUclips recommendations and made me subscribe to this channel.Now I'm back after watching (almost) all the previous videos. Enjoying your covers and still wishing to hear more of your original compositions.
I'm a big fan of the franchise and it's music. You did a great job! I love it. 💜
After listening to your songs I have now watched The Witcher, re-watched the LOTR and Hobbit movies, and am aching to play BG3.. let's add Assassin's Creed to that list :)
You are really talented, have an amazing voice and I sincerely hope you are enjoying making this content as much as I am sure we all love listening to it.
I absolutely love it!
yeah she turned me on to watching "Vikings"!
If you didn't play to any AC, I recommend you to start as follow: AC 2, brotherhood, revelations, AC1 (old game but really interesting for the story behind), AC3, (AC4 blackflag important if you like the lore, or pirates, not really important if you want to stay close to the AC2 atmosphere), AC rogue, unity, syndicate (not quite necessary scenario wise imo but nice atmosphere and musics), origins, odyssey (be sure you have the atlantis quests available in your version) and vikings (I just finished Odyssey so I don't know if Vikings is important to play scenario wise) You can find the games up to AC syndicate really cheap on instantgaming or during steam sales if you do want to purchase them. :)
When you get chills down your spine and you feel your hair tingle you know it's a masterpiece.
Whenever I listen to this song it makes me feel very peaceful. Rachel Hardy's voice is also amazing, of course.
So emotional and sweet, loved this performance.
I look forward to hearing it, I've played the Assassin's Creed 2, and I enjoyed it, and it sets out the storyline of Ezio... I won't be awake at the premiere, but I'll definitely listen to it as soon as I'm able, I'm pretty sure I'll bring back memories
You should sing Tale of the Tongues from Skyrim!!!
@Faith Bennett Yes!!!!
That will open another hole of nostalgia
@VENDXTTA Yes, yes it will.😭
I know the song itself is amazing but when it comes up when Kassandra says "the wolf of Sparta is my father" and the game pans out for the title. That's goosebumps!
it's from Assassin's creed II originally, used as on overall theme in various games like the odyssey.
Personally, Odyssey was the best game in the franchise. It's so filled with emotion and care. Seeing your comment I looked up this part to see one more time and got goosebumps all over again. Amazing game!
@@DanielSlva you kidding ?!
@@mustafatheslayer5125 No, that's why I said "personally".
@@DanielSlva I'd say the same too. I like the Ezio Trilogy but I couldn't connect to it the way I connected to Odyssey. Something about Kassandra was just amazing. Loved the Greece setting too
Thanks for your ccover ITS amazing!❤
“Wings spread broken
Life lost meaning
One last prayer
One more feeling”
Good god damn you captured the story of Ezio so well after the loss of his father and brothers and before he was an assassin and really well followed the rest of his life as an assassin
“Song of hope and liberation
Fight for honor
Fight for freedom”
Perfect poetry and perfectly singed
A true masterpiece!

Thank you for all the encouraging words; this song is so lovely and I had a great time putting this together. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter if you want to see what I'm up to in my day-to-day! (Handles in the description)
Another incredible arrangement. You choose these so perfectly. I’ve enjoyed Jesper Kyd’s choral cues from Hitman: Blood Money too so this AC one had all the feels.
I really hope one day to hear you live. 😁🎶
you are incredible , i don't understand why you are not more famous ...
Beautifully done! Love your music! I get an alert & I'm Yeees! This is gonna be good! And it always is. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Amazing!! wish my voice was like that! is this in latin at the start? I recognize some of the words as latin.
had never heard this music before but as everything rachel do, its wonderful
Thank you so much!
Its Ezios family from Assassins Creed 2
This was sensational, truly a masterpiece of a song.
Thank you and thanks for subscribing!
@@RachelHardy Absolutely you’re an amazing singer, plus you’re stunning and seem really sweet all in one. People tell me I have a good voice, but for radio or bc I can switch it up like voice acting. I think you do a phenomenal job with these and I’d love to see you do I really want to stay at you’re house or never fade away for cyber punk. There are others too, but everything you do is fire girl. I think you’re a beautiful soul and a kindhearted spirit, hopefully you keep making awesome vids. I also prefer you’re natural eyes, yet it’s cool how you change it up from time to time.
This is the only Ezio's family cover that I listen over and over
In tears right now.. thank you for this Video, god bless you and your loved once
Thank you for coming by :)
This was truly beautiful. Your voice never, ever ceases to amaze me Rachel, honestly I would love a video on how you learned to sing, if you've had lessons, what warmups you do etc, honestly I would rewatch that over and over and over til I can recite it basically word for word cause it would just be such useful advice for shy singers who love singing like me
Thank you for this masterpiece Rachel, beautifully done 😊🧡
Thank you for creating a cover so worthy of the original ❤️
Masterpiece ❤️
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

After listened to tons of covers for years...this remains on of the best ! Ty for your work...Amazing !
Your voice is so mesmerizing. You really bring back that feeling, that tune..damn it's all coming back. And from 1:54 you just go battle mode, your own version, I really love this. Bless you for doing this. Keep going Rachel, you're fucking amazing.
