This girl has a natural talent, it bothers me that she is little known, but at the same time I adore that fact because listening to her is like a luxury that only a few of us indulge in.
I saw your comment and looked at her subs count. 25.5k seems like a lot, but it's a tiny-tiny fraction of a % of the world population. With 7.6B people on the planet, even a large number of people is a small number of people.
@@zebanon5 Hi Ian, appreciate your comment friend! Im realizing I was meaning some of the hit #'s for particular songs like this one, rather than the total subscription count.
Thought she was gonna sing “in cursive” at first in that trendy hipster type of way. Then a few lines in she dropped some stanky, stanky soul in and here we are now I’m pregnant anyways this was excellent
Wikipedia : "Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a song composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972, but it did not chart. In 1973 it became a number-one hit in the United States, Australia and Canada for Roberta Flack, also reaching number six in the UK Singles Chart. In 1996, Fugees recorded the song with Lauryn Hill on lead vocals, their version became a number-one hit in twenty countries. The version by Flack won the 1974 Grammy for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and the version by Fugees won the 1997 Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The song has been covered by many other artists.
Sure it's not a Fugees original but to be fair Stacey's version heavily borrows on their cover in terms of phrasing so maybe she can call it a Fugees cover.
Wow. I mean honestly, this person really has something special. I can't stop barrelling through their videos. And that stank face, my god! So happy to have randomly discovered them
In the last minute it's all damn beautiful: the vocalisms, the faces you made singing, the kindness passing through that wrong chord... I would listen to you for hour..
This is totally SICK, I mean, how does someone just even come up with vocals like those in the last chorus? this is pure genius and you should be no less than a billion streams-worth musician. I am fu***n TRIGGERED ppl EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN
The Fugees version itself is a cover. The song was most famously covered by Roberta Flack in 1973, and as I've just learned in a web search the original is by Lori Lieberman.
Haven’t been able to cry or really let my emotions go for the past 6 months but this....left me speechless and I had tears rolling down my face from the first minute onwards. felt so good to be touched by a voice as beautiful as yours❤️thank you stacey
Her voice is just wonderful. Such control and range. Delicate, yet strong. Ms. Ryan has a real talent for jazz singing. We'll be watching and listening, to see what she does.
This is so amazing, you have truly blessed my ears. I can go to sleep tonight knowing I have heard the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. It is so amazing to hear real music. WELL DONE!
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style And so I came to see him, to listen for a while And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time) Singing my life with his words (two times, two times) Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time) Singing my life with his words (two times, two times) Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge Woah Woah-oah-ah-ah-ah uh, uh La-la-la, la, la, la Woah, la Woah, la (ha, ha, ha, ha) La-ah-ah-ah-ah Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing my life) Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie (strumming my pain) From the Refugee Camp (yeah, yeah) (Singing my life) up in here, you know how we do, L-Boogie up in here Wyclef, Prazwell, said L-Boogie up in here Wyclef up in here My man Lil' Base (Prazwell up in here) Jerry one time T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here This is how we (Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up here) We got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's (Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp) Everybody got a breakin' point kid And they'll rat on you The family niggas will rat on you That's why we gotta be prepared to take whoever out we need to
It's not really the Fugees cover unless you're also saying "One-time, one time....two-time, two-time". Seeing a beautiful singer who is also a poly-instrumentalist is always inspiring.
Your appreciation and expression of music is exactly how I want my daughter to approach music when she’s older lol. Whether that be playing piano, dancing or whatever, I really hope she has that same passion.
stumbled upon your channel. your style is really really unique! I love it! Your guitar playing, jazzy sound, bluesy/jazzy voice(?). idk how to describe it but it's reaaalllyyyy goooddd
My favorite song, covered by so many, most are not bad. A few knocked my socks off. This performer...she had me by the second bar. Thank you, just thank you.
You are truly a rare, unique, and incredible talent, and all your videos should have so many more views. Your music and covers are so much more authentic and naturally talented than so many other musicians on RUclips trying to make it. Keep doing your thing :-)
This girl has a natural talent, it bothers me that she is little known, but at the same time I adore that fact because listening to her is like a luxury that only a few of us indulge in.
We're the ones to help her with getting well known brother. She definately deserves it. She leaves me breahtless and with smile on my face every time.
thats not just natural talent, i gues there is a lot of work behind
Totally agree friend. She deserves real recognition and good things coming her way.
I saw your comment and looked at her subs count. 25.5k seems like a lot, but it's a tiny-tiny fraction of a % of the world population. With 7.6B people on the planet, even a large number of people is a small number of people.
@@zebanon5 Hi Ian, appreciate your comment friend! Im realizing I was meaning some of the hit #'s for particular songs like this one, rather than the total subscription count.
I love the classic musician “stank face” she makes when she’s absolutely slaying a run. Such a genuine performance, I love it.
THAT is one amazing thing! Like old salsa or jazz singers!
In the end she's just like, 'yeap, fuck it I'll use this take.'
Precisely!!
In the description she says to ignore the last chorus but damn...
That part blew my mind. Actual Goosebumps
Thought she was gonna sing “in cursive” at first in that trendy hipster type of way. Then a few lines in she dropped some stanky, stanky soul in and here we are now I’m pregnant anyways this was excellent
What does that mean? In cursive?
@@elvisburns with a funny type of voice/fake accent
Now I'm pregnant
Coisive Haha!
omg I HATE that singing style, this girl is legit
Can we talk about her and why she's so underrated? She deserves more :')

@@SebBrosig And the Fugees version takes a lot from Roberta's version.
Those runs in the last chorus are INSANE!!
me replaying the riff she sang at 0:58 - 1:01 24 times. Heavenly
Wow. I mean honestly, this person really has something special. I can't stop barrelling through their videos. And that stank face, my god! So happy to have randomly discovered them
You and me both, that’s for certain.

How does she come up with it? Listening to a LOT of the masters of this style of music.

This gave me chills. you have a beautiful voice, thank you for sharing it
Perfect comfortable control. Just absolute beautiful sound to the soul. Just what I needed. Thank you so much.
tbh the last chorus was my fave part!!! such energy! such improv!! it had the "live set encore" messing around vibes, loved it
Listening from 4:00 onward was a literal religious experience. I've played guitar and sang for years and that blew my mind.
Yes, I agree. And that left eye of hers closing shut, ushers in the transformation.
Wow, this is an amazing cover! I really enjoyed this and can't wait to come back to it again and again.
BRUH! Killing it with absolutely every cover. Keep up the good work Stacey!
Beautiful melodic version of a wonderful song. Thank you Stacey, what a delight
You make me smile every day. Especially these small room gigs. Your voice is so perfect. Talent.
Ahhhh so insane! I love your voice Stacey! Those runs at the end were straight up killer✨
Beautiful...so talented....she is authentic and soulful
You're an absolute beast and a heck of a musician, in love with your music and style !! I cant stop listening to you
OMG!!!! SO amazing!!! Keep em' coming!!!! Love EVERYTHING you do!!
Her voice is just wonderful. Such control and range. Delicate, yet strong.
Ms. Ryan has a real talent for jazz singing. We'll be watching and listening, to see what
she does.
Why can I only like this once? :) Wishing to give it another like every time I hear it. Go Stacey!
This is so amazing, you have truly blessed my ears. I can go to sleep tonight knowing I have heard the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. It is so amazing to hear real music. WELL DONE!
2024….loved it….Stacey is great ….listening to her entire playlist….smooth perfection ♥️🌹🌹🌹
You're so talented, thanks a lot to let us hear this beautiful cover
Love this song, beautiful version, keep up the great work.
Just OMG. So good . . . I totally love this!
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him, to listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge
Woah
Woah-oah-ah-ah-ah uh, uh
La-la-la, la, la, la
Woah, la
Woah, la (ha, ha, ha, ha)
La-ah-ah-ah-ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing my life)
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie (strumming my pain)
From the Refugee Camp (yeah, yeah)
(Singing my life) up in here, you know how we do, L-Boogie up in here
Wyclef, Prazwell, said L-Boogie up in here
Wyclef up in here
My man Lil' Base (Prazwell up in here)
Jerry one time
T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here
This is how we (Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up here)
We got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's (Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp)
Everybody got a breakin' point kid
And they'll rat on you
The family niggas will rat on you
That's why we gotta be prepared to take whoever out we need to
Simply great 😁
this is perfect. i loved every second, run, & strum.
Beautiful! Can't utter any more flowery words to show my appreciation! salute!
It's not really the Fugees cover unless you're also saying "One-time, one time....two-time, two-time". Seeing a beautiful singer who is also a poly-instrumentalist is always inspiring.
