Vocal ANALYSIS of my FAVORITE YOUTUBE VIDEO! Sara Bareilles singing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" as performed by Sara Bareilles is one of my all time favorite videos on RUclips. It's written about, you guessed it, the yellow brick road in Wizard of Oz, and I'm here for that! Written about giving up a life of opulence for one of simplicity in a rural setting, this song hits all my feels, and Sara's performance gives me the chills.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Sara Bareilles perform one of her all time favorite songs "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".

You should react to Cynthia Erivo stand up official video and I’m here. They’re very powerful song 🎶
Before you retired you tube, you must check out most outstanding singer CAKRA KHAN.
Thank you
If I may make a suggestion. I believe you would enjoy listening to one of the most respected voices in music. That would be Sabastian Bach of Skid Row. He has performed on Broadway as well as fronting a huge rock band in the late 80s early 90s.
Check out Emily Keener’s version from The Voice.
Ok, well done. Now I have to pause and listen to the OV.
Sara B is so underrated it’s a crime. She is so talented it’s a damn shame she doesn’t get more critical acclaim.
I know, man. She's obviously extremely popular and successful and she still feels terribly underrated as if she's just some rando that had a couple catchy pop hits. This came into one of my randomized Spotify playlists about 6 months ago, and I listened to it about 50 times in a week. And not to mention she's playing the piano the whole time she's singing this. That's not easy at all. Trust me, I can sing badly and play piano badly, but when I tried this one, I had to choose which one I wanted to butcher. I couldn't do them both. And she did them both amazingly.
She's one of the greatest songwriters in recent decades. A generational talent for sure
Elton John actually said that he had never heard this song covered so well. He's actually a fan of hers
"and made it her own." To the point that "her version" started to get covered as much as the original, like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's ukulele version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" got covered so much.
And he decided to do a duet with her, and chose her song Gravity instead. He didn't want to touch her version of Yellow Brick Road!
I think he said something like now he knows how it's really meant to be sung.
One of my favourite performances on RUclips. Her piano accompaniment to her own vocal is impeccable. Elton John said this one of the best ever covers of any of his songs, and her delivery really makes us realise what a superbly poetic lyric Bernie Taupin wrote.
Another eye-watering performance at the piano is her own song, She Used To Be Mine, performed live on the Graham Norton show.
I actually met and served her personally as a bartender. She did a drunken karaoke with her “Waitress” troupe, and let me tell you. She is one of the nicest people in the world. And her vocals, even with/especially with lots of drink are AMAZING
How many times have you sold this story
Bro, I met here a few times. She's a sweet woman. Her family are amazing people. I've hung solely with her and she's a normal chick. Better than normal as an artist. Maybe about 10 years ago. I moved to her home area. Great person. Not a dick at all
She really seems a gracefull woman
Why is it no surprise that she’s the nicest? 🙌🏻
This lady’s giddiness and excitement about Sara’s singing is just as good as the topic itself! Love Sara Bareilles! On my bucket list to see her live ❤
Potential idea for your YT series: analysis of the vocal progression of singers throughout their careers. What changed, got better/worse/different?
did you see the two wilson sister reviews? Young rockers and and as elder spokeswomen of rock covering led zepplin...
She's done it with dio, but maybe not quite as directly as you are thinking about.
First time I've heard her perform...thank you. This moved me internally.
Pretty much what Ken Tamplin does on his channel.
Linda Ronstadt would be an excellent candidate.
Okay, I confess to not having heard Sara B or this song before...but I love the original, and I'm blown away with Sara's take on it.
It's not unlike how Johnny made Trent's "Hurt" into its own phenomenon, bigger than either would have thought.
And of equal value, Elizabeth, is your sharing how Sara's performance affects you so much, too. It's a gift, it's a lesson, it teaches us how to experience music! Thank you.
Sara is from my hometown of Eureka, CA - our families know each other, went to the same church, her sister babysat me, etc. We couldn't be happier for, or prouder of, her and her achievements up here in Humboldt County. Her talent is absolutely _stunning!_ 🤦♂️
PS Another great video! Glad I found your channel a couple months ago 😁
Thanks for that information!! I live in Eureka as well! Awesome stuff😁
Mike Patton was also born in Eureka, California :)
@@shkr5 Indeed! I went to school with one of his cousins... some great talent outta here 😁
Had no idea she was from Eureka, but that makes me love her even more!
Awesome Voice, I would love to see you do a reaction to Linda Ronstadt, in my opinion probably the greatest female vocalist between her rock and blues and Spanish and American standards opera Pirates of Penzance Her work with Trio and Aaron Neville I think she’s just absolutely amazing
I agree! Linda Ronstadt had a huge impact on music. Her ability to sing any style, and her appreciation of the different forms of music, made her beloved to all the musicians who worked with her. From country, rock, blues, jazz, and opera, she did it all, and did it perfectly.
Don’t Know Much… Gaaaah! Gets me every time.
I’ve listened to this vid probably 5000 times. When I first heard it, I feel like I lost my mind. Cried over it many times, and never thought anyone else found it as insanely hauntingly technically perfect as I did, but apparently I have ❤️
The key, the tempo, the arrangement, the “shadows” and the overall presentation is so incredible, it’s something I’ll never tire of listening to.
Sara Bareilles has been a favorite of mine for years. I believe my first introduction to her was her live cover of "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay." After hearing that I discovered her large catalogue of incredibly well-written original songs and other magnificent covers like this one. Thanks for sharing this and your love for it.
Thank you for reminding me of my first stop-everything moment hearing her singing "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay."
She’s so fantastic live, her cover of “Chandelier” is the same with the haunting factor. Only on ukulele. And her belting. She gives Sia a run for her money.
OK, you got me: I _have_ to find this! Is it on RUclips?
@@erichbrough6097 lol, multiple versions, my favorite is the Virginia one.
Sara Bareilles has been on my playlist for years. Played her album on so many working nights ( movie theatre / bar) ❤️ 🎼
Sara is my queen. I've loved her music since 2008 and this is TRULY one of my favorite videos ever.
The Charismatic Voice reacts to my favorite metal bands, and now reacts to another of my favorite artists Sara Bareilles, it's awesome!!! my favorite Sara's song is "Satellite call", that song is in my favorites on spotify, it's between nightwish and Killswitch engage haha ... I can't wait!! 🤘🤘🤘
same here! i'm a metalhead but also a huge fan of Sara Bareilles :D
I can't believe this, but this is the first time I've ever listening to Sara Bareilles. I'm blown away with her vocal style and music arrangement.
I'm a huge Elton John fan, and I honestly love this cover. She made it her own and it was performed beautifully.
ruclips.net/video/eAti8JNmJi8/видео.html another approach to the same song.
She is a criminally underrated vocalist and an extraordinarily talented writer. It makes sense that she's found success on Broadway as a songwriter and occasional star.
For another great performance of hers, check out this one with Ben folds .
ruclips.net/video/7oZ9u6_Okk8/видео.html
I’d like to see an analysis of Tori Amos. I was a big fan of hers back in the 90’s. There’s a live performance of her song “Winter” from 91/92 that I find particularly moving. - m.ruclips.net/video/KWmETxWM0h0/видео.html
I second the Tori Amos recomedaation.
I'll third it.
Yes yes yes you need to go down the Tori Amos rabbit hole for sure!
Fourth it! Although I'd prefer to see her do the Live From New York version of Winter because it's so insanely expressive. By the way, Jamie, did you think of Tori because the opening piano notes on this Sara performance sounds a little like Hey Jupiter?
@@ruinsane100 Yes the Live in NY is a great version!
I've never heard of Sara Bareilles before. After listening to this cover, Sara did it justice. It's hard to do a cover of such a classic song and an artist like Elton John and make it come up so well.
She is so amazing, I am excited to bring this version out to all of you!
She’s one of those singers that sound as good or better when they perform. She’s hilarious and brilliant.
She played her song gravity as a duet with Elton John. And if I remember correctly he compliments this cover in the video and she says that this was a dream come true. It’s very wholesome.
@@TheCharismaticVoice Metal Mark 12 said exactly what I wanted to say.
Well, it was a bit of a challenge for me to take it all in at the first time. (I guess I also should've listened to the whole performance before the premiere.) I still kind of liked the first verse and the chorus with its different rendition. I started to really like it near the end of the performance. Now I know I'll be listening to it again many times. Her vocal performance was fantastic but I also grew to love the changes she added to the song.
I want to thank you for letting me know about her. Take care and I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Metal Mark, she has a Broadway show she wrote and I think performs in??
So glad you chose Sara Bareilles and specifically this song! One of my all time favs!! Would love to see you have some Brandi Carlile on your channel!!
This performance swept me off my feet. I still cannot believe how someone can control her voice like she does! And I absolutely love the way you intensely listen to it and comment on the details!!! Love your channel!
Thank you Elizabeth. Sara has been a favourite for a while. While “reactions” are great, especially the gratification of seeing someone’s first response to something you’ve liked for a long time, analysis like this is equally valuable and satisfying as a learning experience. More videos like this one are more than welcome.
I'm so glad you'll be calling attention to this performance! It's also one of my favorite performance videos on YT. I think many people will have heard this version first from Angelina Jordan doing it on AGT, but that was actually a cover of a cover (Sara B's version of GYBR).
Always love hearing Sarah sing. I think she was one of the very good parts of the NBC live Jesus Christ Superstar as Mary Magdalene done a couple of years ago. For vocalize have you checked out The Manhattan Transfer ? They are a vocal jazz quartet that actually did a whole album of Jazz charts they added words to. Good stuff.
Her "I Don't Know How To Love Him" was spectacular. Would love to see an analysis of that by Elizabeth as it's another song where Sara portrays the emotion and conflict in the song to perfection.
I’ve loved Sara Bareilles since Love Song. It’s an amazing song. I didn’t think she’d make it because she wasn’t pushed onto radio like lots of other artists. But I’m glad she survived.
Her music is some of the best.
Sara has a quality of making most of her covers haunting. For those who haven't heard her cover the song Yellow by Coldplay, i highly recommend it. very similar to this in the sparse, haunting piano.
She's always been extremely underrated to me beautiful voice
The one thing I can say that's so remarkable about her voice, she sounds like she's singing it directly at you. Something about her voice always hits something very personally deep in your soul. Even when she's being funny she still carries you along for the ride. She is just ethereal and grounding to hear. Few singers make me feel like I can see an exact color or smell the very earth by only hearing their voice. Emotionally fracturing.
Well said.
Her performance of "Love on the Rocks" from this same concert is incredible.
I would love to listen to you breakdown "She used to be mine". . . . and maybe five or six other Sara Bareilles songs.
If you want to hear a singer with a wonderful voice than look no further than Johannes Eckerström the singer of AVATAR and listen to statue of the king
Love all of your videos, love that you do metal and songwriters alike. I live listening to your perspective on these artists. Wondering if you would ever do Brandi Carlisle, she has such a great voice and unique. You should do her song "the joke" the live acoustic version on Howard stern is amazing or her with the highway women doing a cover of Fleetwood Mac song " the chain". Awesome video can't wait to see more.
Lets hear Angelina's recent cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds next. You may have a new favorite RUclips song.
This performance is so powerful, will tear up every time. I love that you analysed this one😊
Her stripped down version of Gravity is and always will be my favorite performance of hers. It makes me cry every time. She definitely has that once in a lifetime kind of voice
Gravity is one of my very favorites.
I love how much you love music. It's beautiful and inspiring!
Please react to Journey, I beg you.. Steve Perry is 101% One of the best singers there is, It wont let you down!
Elizabeth is so terrifically descriptive and uncanny in articulating the emotional nuances of vocals. This is like good therapy, where now I’m able to understand exactly why I feel the way I do when I hear something that moves me.
Sara Bareilles also does a remarkable cover of Coldplays Yellow, the instrumentation is minmal, its all about her voice. The way she sings it puts a very different emphasis on the song for me. The video on youtube seems to have a low framerate, but the sound is pretty good.
Oh! Oh! Oh! If you do another Sara Bareilles song, might I suggest Once Upon Another Time (the one with Ben Folds and Caroline Shaw)? Such a powerful performance with the National Symphony Orchestra!
YES YES YES YES YES. It’s so chilling (as in goosebumps) and just overall perfect. She always amazes me with how she’s completely in tune with band/orchestra.
Yes to once upon another time. Sara is the bomb.
YES again. Being able to hold the room on her own like that is a fantastic show of her skills.
I was thinking the same. I have it queued up to play next.
Love Sara Bareilles, can't wait!!
I absolutely love this performance. Her performs with Ben Folds singing Once Upon Another Time is also outstanding!!
I love Sara Bareilles and have an affinity for female singer-songwriter-pianists. Another highly emotive artist that I love is Tory Amos. Her song Winter is so full of emotion and it makes me cry just like Sara’s performance here. Love it!
i also have an affinity for female singer-songwriter-pianists and female singer-songwriters in general. Funny you mention that Tori Amos song, reminds me of the song Winter Song that Sara did with Ingrid Michaelson. What are some of your other favorites? Mine are Diane Birch, Regina Spektor, Tristan Prettyman, Duffy, A Fine Frenzy.
@@rocioiribe5841, it isn’t enough to simply listen to Tori Amos sing, you get such a stunned feeling from watching her live performances. I also like Nina Simone, Fiona Apple, Carole Welsman and Laura Izibor. Now, when it comes to a more rock feel I adore Johnette Napolitano from Concrete Blonde. She has the voice, song writing skills and plays bass. In her prime she could wail the song Heal It Up and I always wished I could sing like her!
Winter is quite possibly my favourite song ever written. Fiona Apple is another who has torn me apart emotionally my whole life.
Now that we've had this cover, please do an analysis of early SIR ELTON sometime - GBYBR- ruclips.net/video/RZ3Bb4UsXhU/видео.html and Bennie & the Jets (live 1980) ruclips.net/video/Jf2Te1IfjuA/видео.html Anything live from 70-80, really. 💯 WHO'S WITH ME?!
Sara is a super highly underrated performer that can bring out a super raw performance. Her covers are absolutely amazing, and I thing that she should be much more popular than she is. Love Sara’s humor and interpretation of various songs.
Miss Elizabeth launches the Big Voice & Sound Week?
Monday : Angelina Jordan
Tuesday : Sara Bareilles
Friday : Pink Floyd?
Lets get to it!
🎵🎶🎵👈👀👂
I'm not one to normally request stuff but I want to throw out a suggestion. You should do a reaction to one of Leonard Cohen's songs. I don't even mind which one, he has so many, but his voice is so incredibly unique I'd love to hear your take. And his lyrics are something else, even Bob Dylan has praised his songwriting. Please 🥺
I second that. Another thing would be Emmylou Harris' heart-achingly beautiful version of his song Prayer For A Cowgirl. Great interpretation of his amazing poetry.
Duet of Leonard with Lily Collins of "Suzanne" I believe, is wondrous. Of course Cohen's entire live in London concert is magnificent. Leonard himself said he preferred KD Lang's Hallelujah of the many covers. She did it at the Vancouver Olympics and it was amazing, but some think her Junos performance was better. Toss up. The staging at the Olympics was epic though.
Very good but Angelina Jordan sings this even better! Please react to this!
She sings this with all the emotion of all the Bernies and Eltons across the world. Thanks for sharing your excitement.
Have you ever looked at any Brandi Carlile songs? She’s got a pretty wide range of songs but here’s a good vid that has a lot of close ups so you can see her face and mouth. ruclips.net/video/1A1fuxNXoH4/видео.html
Yes. The Story would be a good one I think. I love her sound and emotion. Se's been up front about issues she's had with her voice. It'd be interesting to hear Elizabeth's thoughts.
It’s the best vocal performance I’ve ever heard.
Freya Ridings- You Mean the World to Me -1 mic 1 take OR -live at Barbican.
Yes. And other songs: Wishbone (range), Blackout (emotion)

If you get a chance check out Beth Hart's Led Zeppelin Tribute album and Kashmir.
And you still haven't done any AC/DC. Back in Black has only sold 50 million albums worldwide.....
Anyone want to vote up a redo of her doing a good acoustic Simple Man version with Brent singing like he means it? The one she did was such a disservice to what he can do.
Hi, I'm Brazilian and I really like your videos! Hope you keep producing them!
Could you do nickelback analysis with the song Never Gonna be Alone?
ruclips.net/video/1GWQ-oDMG6g/видео.html
Hope you do more of linkin park too hahahahah Thank you so much for your videos!!!
I too love this performance; I, too, have watched/listened to it, like, A LOT. And yet, here I am, learning more about why it affects me so, and crying right along with you. Thanks for sharing your insights, and your talent, and your passion, with all of us out here on the 'Net, Elizabeth.
It's no wonder she was chosen to play Mary Magdelene in Jesus Christ Superstar (with John Legend as Jesus). Beautiful voice. Thankyou for your review, your knowledge and watching your reaction is just wonderful. Now, how about Chris Cornell in Temple of the Dog, Say hello 2 Heaven?
H u g e Sara B fan here - her voice is _so_ gutsy, sweet and heartfelt. Bernie and Sir Elton almost could have written this song for her, with its defiant and inspirational lyrics. You should react to the live version of 'Brave' for sure! 🙌
And btw, that final wailing belt on 'Road', where she modified partway through toward the sound of 'ran' - holy crap!!! 🤯🔥🔥😭😭❣❣
Quite lovely. But if I may, why haven't You checked out and done a video about, Jeff Buckley??? Jeff Buckley's live version of "Grace"(BBC Late Show version) will knock your socks off! Jeff Buckley Please
Dear Charismatic Voice, I urge you to check out the great Joe Cocker, one of the most powerful voices when he was in his prime, his performance at woodstock is often hailed as one of the greatest rock n roll performances ever, he's up there with Joplin IMO when it comes to passionate blues vocals. Please give it a listen I promise you won't regret, and if you decide to analyze my favorite singer of all time Joe Cocker it would be an honor!
Yes! As I was watching Sara's performance here I was thinking it's up there with my favourite covers. Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help From My Friends" was the first one that sprung to mind.
Love Sara Bareilles and your Goodbye Yellow Brick Road review. Please review her performance of Someone Who Loves Me with the Milk Carton Kids.
You should do a reaction to Sarah's song "Gravity " she hits a note in the studio version which gives me goosebumps everytime
Hi Elizabeth thanks for sharing this and the amazing commentary. Please consider Tori Amos. She is so emotional and has an incredible voice with such depth and texture. ruclips.net/video/KWmETxWM0h0/видео.html
Thanks for sharing this, please share more often your own favorites! It is so nice to see you so involved in this and you give of so much positive, happy energy. That is what music should do to people: touch them emotionally and overflow the senses. Sara is indeed amazing and this performance of this song double so. The audience is dead silent almost afraid to breathe.
All your explanations are very interesting and helps me better listen to artists and will probably help me listen better to my own singing as well.
You might enjoy listening (not per se reacting to) the version Angelina Jordan did on America Got Talent.
I am new to your channel and was looking back through previous videos. I didn't see any review of the bank Kansas and their major hits "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind". I would like to see your review of this amazing group's music. Thanks.
For Sara, I'd go with her live performances on Live From Here (a public radio show, but they've got videos on RUclips). Someone Who Loves Me and Saint Honesty are particularly great. Also on that show (you'll thank me later) watch the videos with Rachael Price.
One more with Sara. If you want to get absolute shivers down your spine, watch the Kennedy Center video of her singing "Once Upon Another Time". She sings a Capella... alone... for about half the song and you could literally hear a pin drop if one had been. This is a MUST listen, even if you don't react to it.
Lol, I think every Sara fan has requested the Ben Folds Kennedy Center performance. The harmonies are so unexpected, even though they’re standing right behind her it’s a, “where the hell did you come from?” moment. And St. Honesty is amazing. I have one of the pieces of paper that fell from that concert.
have you ever done a Mario Lanza video?
Can you also do one of eltons performances of this song from back in the day? There are so many amazing live performances he’s done of this song
I just found your channel, love your content and how you look for different sounds! I think you wolud love
Maná & Alejandro Fernández - Mariposa Traicionera.
Do you think you could do a reaction to The Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd? I think you’d really love it, it’s pure emotion and just a masterpiece of vocals, thanks Elizabeth!
Is on the list and will be published for sure in the next days or weeks...
Hey Aleric!
Joerg is right. I'll be releasing "Great Gig in the Sky" most likely next week!
@@TheCharismaticVoice 🎶🙏🏻🎶
heey can u hear and react to "Los Jaivas", chilean band that mix andine folk - classic music and rock (70's) (the chilean pink floyd)
There is another version of this where she plays with an orchestra. I’ve watched it a million times. I still get chills and tear up every time I watch it. Possibly my favorite vocal ever.
ruclips.net/video/eAti8JNmJi8/видео.html
This is my fave. But I'm an opera fan, so big vocals = yay, as they say. I guess Liz didn't pick this one because it isn't as vocally diverse?
Nora Jones - Black Hole Son, would be perfect for you to do a deep dive on, The Charismatic Voice.
I almost cried hearing the way she nailed that song.
I highly recommend you to react to Nothing But Thieves - Impossible (Orchestral Version - Live at Abbey Road). Conor Manson's voice is incredible in any of their songs!
You should react to the artist Sub Urban. His music and voice have an extremely interesting and unique sound that I think you’ll enjoy. I recommend starting with “Cradles” or “Freak,” but if you prefer something newer “INFERNO,” “UH OH!,” and “CANDYMAN” are great choices as well.
Sebastian Bach with SKID ROW. 18 and life or I remember you.
I bloody love this song so much. (Writing this prior to watching so sorry if I borrow your notes).
My first listen I was confused with the almost monotone and just gave it a chance because it's SB, even though it seemed a weird way to go. But then it's such a HUGE pay-off when she drops that second verse. I love the shift she makes on the piano stool. And that big note always gives me goosebumps. Wooh!
I love your reactions to this song. I feel the same when I listen to it.
The performance did not measure up to the hype. I was expecting A+ amazing, and she gave a C+, B- meh performance. She has a good voice, but left so much potential of that song on the cutting room floor.
I thought I was the only one. Everyone fell all over themselves about it. It's...ok. I don't find her voice especially evocative in the first place. Really smart, really solid, but the voice of a generation? Eh. Her slides seem to be in an effort to find a pitch. Singing live is hard, duh. But she was really really pitchy the whole time. As in flat out missing notes. That or I'm tone deaf (entirely possible). This seemed really flat particularly with the over uber hype that's connected to it. I really wanted to be blown away, but it really just seems a case of fans overrating something that's just ok because they're fans. And that's ok. Nothin wrong with it as long as people are enjoying it, just not my cup of tea.
Strike another for this side of the fence. She seems to use two completely disconnected voices sort of at random. The high notes are harsh and the low ones perhaps a tone too far. It lost the flow and grandeur of the original in favour of quirky.
React to "Seriously" written by Sara Bareilles and sang by Leslie Odom Jr.
Pretty obvious here where Angelina Jordan got her inspiration for singing this song on AGT in 2020.
I like it! You might consider Eva Cassidy's version of "Over the Rainbow" with only her guitar as accompaniment.
You should check out one of Halocenes covers, just discovered them and there freakin amazing
I love the insight and passion with this review. Thank you for taking me along!
Yes. The piano is somewhat sparse and discordant. I am sure Rick Beato would love to review this song
I just listened to her performance from Atlanta again😮 and thank you so much for turning me out of this in the first place. I didn't even know who she was. But wow, this is so beautiful and so inspiring and I'm of the age where I grew up and bought the album's when Elton John was in his Heyday. But this just blows me away every time. And so suddenly, I find myself back here to get another dose of Elizabeth😢 analyzing this incredible singing.
Should check out her live Gravity video it’s phenomenal
NEVER SURRENDER! Suggestion time. 😁 CrazyEightyEight - “Shinebox” (live one-take performance by Lauren Babic)
Yebba “my mind” live at sofar. Plz
This is a good version of this song by her but if you haven't seen the version of her with an orchestra here it is....ruclips.net/video/eAti8JNmJi8/видео.html I have literally listened to this version for days Ata time
This is a bit left field, but a suggestion to react to: “As Yet Untitled” by Terence Trent D’Arby. The vocal approach Sara uses reminds me of that song.
You should check out Still Waiting by Jazz Emu
Oh. My. God. So, I found you a few months ago, in a kinda backwards way. I had just been to a show that Sleep Token opened and I was immediately enamored. I fell down their rabbit hole, which led me to Will and his Hypnosis cover and that video led me to you. I have always felt like a freak for my reactions to music. My friends would look at me like a complete freak when we would be listening to something powerful, not even necessarily sad, and I would have tears streaming down my face. Took me a while to get to this video, because I’m a metal and rock fan first, but good music is good music, regardless of genre. She hit Road before the second chorus, and I was damn near sobbing. Then I look at you and you’re barely holding it in. That made me tear up more! Thank you for the comradery. Your channel is the most warm and refreshing thing I’ve experienced in a long time. Thank you, truly. I do love music more every day. 😘
You are steeped in empathy, which is almost as engaging as your astute vocal analysis. I would love to see you react to Brandi Carlisle, Tori Amos, Jane Monheit . . .
you want to listen to Angelina Jordan yellow brick road it's just
I think you'd enjoy Alison Krauss & Union Station.
I’d love another Sara reaction… like Gravity!!
Rhapsody of Fire - Sacred Power of Raging Winds.
I have been watching a "couple" of videos back to back ,and i have a suggestion since you come from the background you do, and you enjoy vivid performance as well. Although for this one band you should do an album version and not live. At least the first time. It's a cinematic experience with this band and you will be missing out on the atmosphere they can create. Not an accident that their metal is called Hollywood metal.. They have everything incorporated in their albums. Even Sir Christopher Lee narration!. This one song i feel like would be a great first. It showcases the scope they are going for, but is still not one of the longest ones. (note that the band has now split into 2 bands, we could further discuss that in future comments sections i guess.)
You should react to Blacbriar's song Arms of the ocean.
