TheDynasty625 I don’t hate it, but I don’t think it is in “great” territory either. She benefits from a natural reverberation in the tunnel, that makes her listenable but that’s about it for me. Not bashing her, just being honest.
NO studio engineering; NO auto tunes; NO voice enhancements---not even a microphone. NO smoke. No mirrors. Just pure, unadulterated and raw talent. I watched it 3x's.
Absolutely, but mics are not only used for amplifying sound. Being a former performer myself, I’m very accustomed to being in a studio and having every nuance of a song tweaked to sound like perfection. She’s also not using an electronic guitar, back-up singers, and fancy stage props to distract us. I get the echo chamber that the hollowness of the subway creates-trust me, I live in New York City. All I’m saying, in essence, is that we’re getting a taste of the most purest form of entertainment...for free.
Been coming back to this video for years. Not only the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard, but reading through the comments I’m realizing she’s had the same effect on many others. Literally brings you to tears and can’t explain it. She’s special in a way that maybe shouldn’t have an explanation. 33M views at the time of writing this while Fleetwood Mac’s official music video on YT has 81M. Not keeping a score here but it says a lot. Thank you Ashley Stevenson!
She has a ridiculously good voice... We’re hearing the audio via handheld cell phone from 10ft away with a crazy amount of background noise.. Imagine her singing into a mic in a soundproof studio.. Beautiful Ashley!
‼️I just finished watching a video where Ashley said that she made absolutely no money from this viral video. She didn't even know that the guy was video taping her performance. She said that she found out thru her friends that she had gone viral about a month after this video was posted. She reached out to the man who video taped her to ask him if she could use the video. He wanted 3-4 thousand dollars apparently to let her use the vid. Omg!! That was so hurtful to hear come out of her mouth. What you got do say bout that Bo?? That's truly disgusting that she was told 3-4k to use the vid that she stars in! That sounds like extortion to me. Geez! How much did u make off of her Bo? Isn't it like 1k payment from youtube for every 1 million views. So if this vid has 28 million views then you got like 28k from it didn't you? Whatever dude...... The fact still remains that Ashley has MAD TALENT and regardless of the fact that you used her to benefit yourself she will persevere in the end cause God sees everything!‼️
This is so fucking deep... so spiritual and human. So peaceful. So real. So authentic. Went to another level when she took those short pauses from stringing, everyone knew it, too.
Thank you for that! Great insight. I aspire to do what she is doing. I hope I can have the courage. Helping people feel loved by God is what I would like to help people feel through music. At this place in my journey however, I don't want to use worship music to do that, so I'm not sure how that will work. Anyway your insight is where it's at! :)
Revelations 1:13-15 Christ is black 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. Daniel 7:9 God is Black 9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 1 Maccabees 3:48 How Christ became "White" 48 And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images. Read the about the curses in Deuteronomy 28:16-68. The so-called African Americans are the Children of Israel. Everything that was taught to us about God was taught to us by our forefathers and foremothers slave masters. This is how God feels about those slave masters: Exodus 21:16 16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
Well yeah, kinda. Drugs make it easier to connect emotions to the song. 'She strikes me as somebody who likes to jam when not quite sober (see the picture on her transit card). I mean - a lot of musicians do. I play my guitar so much better when I smoked it's not even funny.
I've watched this like 100 times. Sometimes it makes me cry, sometimes it makes me smile, sometimes it leaves me deep in thought. Amazing performance...
An absolutely incredible performance. She takes “making it your own” to a whole new level!!! Would love to see her open an awards show so she can see and hear the recognition she deserves. Please RUclips, make this happen for her.
Ashley Stevenson if you ever read this, I loved your performance. You moved me to tears. I love your voice and your style of guitar. Excellent choice of song. I hope life treats you well.
so send her some money on PayPal. the music industry chewed up this wonderful artist and spit her out. the idiot who filmed this even tried to get 4,000$ from her just so she could use her own performance on the news.
she has a facebook. she will tell you the story that this guy that filmed her and made money didn’t give shit. when she went on the news about her playing the guitar he wouldn’t even let her play the clip without her paying him $6000 this guy is a turd.
I love the aggressive way she plays the guitar. Her voice is incredible. She takes an iconic song and somehow makes it her own. Incredible job. amazing performance
So gross that they didn't even put the right links for her instagram or ANYTHING. It took me 10 minutes to find her. They made 16 thousand dollars off of her without her permission illegally (she was probably okay with it for promotion) but they aren't even properly promoting her music WITH WORKING LINKS!!! SO GROSS and evil. DO NOT support this greedy and evil channel.
Omg when was this I'm UK based and truth would fly over just to see her play she is in all sense of the word blessed with the voice of an angel given by God I wish her the world and all she wants from it sooooooo good
Also listen to playing for change special music that is untouched by industry stand by me and sitting at the Dock of the bay are my favourite find my self coming back time and time again same with this just beautiful to the ears stay blessed all
I remember when I was younger I was coming back from a hard day of therapy with my mom and brother and we heard her singing and completely forgot about everything that went wrong in our family. It was just the sound of her voice man. It something else.
I'm so eternally grateful for people like this. They aren't millionaires, but they brighten up Everyones day. Respect and love to all buskers everywhere.
This is better than whatever the Industry is changing to suit their genres and pushing out here as what's a hit. This is wonderful and sooo passionate. I love this.
I've seen this a couple dozen times and it still makes me cry every time. The way the entire subway just stops and watches... it must've been amazing to be there.
It's really amazing how much emotion and conviction can be demonstrated and communicated with music!!! She just absolutely created an amazing rendition of this song! Astounding!
I've seen this girl hustling on that stop for 10years and her voice really sounds like that. The video doesn't show how powerful her voice is.. You can hear her as the train pulls up and from 3 other stops away and from outside the tunnels..which is Impressive in itself..
Chills!! I broke down crying like a baby hearing this! This song is the reflection and reminder of the hell I have experienced in my life including watching my father die in front of me slowly from cancer, watching my grandma die slowly in front of me and now seeing my mom memory fade. Among me almost losing my life and being alone after my ex cheated on me when my father was dying and marrying another man after all my love loyalty and supreme dedication. I'm still here. I'm still grateful and not giving up.
@@legendsofthemyth7359 PLEASE give my love to Ashley when you see are beautiful SISTER again from goudhurst Kent UK 🤗 a true talent 👍 PEACE BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALLWAYS AND FOREVER 🕊
@WerdaMalik Look at her video where she talks about this. He claims all the money, and told her she had to buy the video from him when she asked if she could have a copy.
1:50 is the moment that gives me chills. A crowded subway full of busy people all filled with the stress of their own problems stops in unison and listens to him preform
The scenario in which she is performing “Landslide” and the amount of emotion in her voice...it’s an incredible moment to capture. The video itself is art.
It's actually pretty simple; the music industry has perfected their systems so well like a well oiled machine that they know exactly what they're looking for. They're looking for repeated success to get a return on their investment. People like her have to work 100X harder to become successful in the industry by creating a following already and be able to show a good record of already producing assets (songs, albums, etc) Only then do labels invest since there's proof of success. Also Rock is like 5-10% of the industries source of income at the moment so that makes it even harder.
You aren’t forced to listen to shit. If there was so much of a demand for these artists they’d be mainstream but instead they’re going broke because people like you just feed on what you’re being fed. There’s plenty of talented artists like the one shown in this video, just look a little.
This resonates in my soul just like the raw and powerful effect of a burning sun I love Fleetwood Mac I grew up on bands of the 70s 80s and 90s this kind of talent only comes around so I wish her all the best she needs to be heard
This rendition, in that setting, under those conditions - was simply other-worldly. It was the absolute best, most heart-wrenching version of this song I have ever heard in my life. And, sadly, it will never be repeated (same echo, same emotion, same pre-fame circumstances). What these lucky people have witnessed in person, was better than just about any live performance I've ever seen in a stadium. They have no idea what they were witness to, and that only adds to the sadness and authenticity of Ashley Stevenson's incredible raw talent. I am positive that - like me - so many of the over 26M views of this are repeat performances. We're all coming back for the incredible emotional pull it gives us, with every view. You can tell, this isn't *just* another song for her, she's laying her soul out there for all to see; and, for me, it's one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen. Thank you Ashley, peace, and please stay safe.
What are you talking about? Obviously a dude. Not a chick. And can't sing if his life depended on it. People are so easily led in nefarious directions.
Keith Harden maybe you have to already love landslide by fleet wood; I noticed it was all chicks giving money and it’s a song loved by women?! I absolutely love this song and it is what made me want to play guitar when I was a teen. This rendition is sublime
I liked how she made it her own. There was something more emotional about the performance, like she was expressing a different emotion than Stevie nicks when she sang it. And her guitar skills added alot to it as well. Shes a talented musician.
That's because she is. Have you seen how few views and followers she has? The person who recorded this video has more followers on youtube than she does. I hope that you followed her because she has given years of her life away to perform this at this level for you.
I feel it in my soul, that is some of the greatest re-invetions of a song I have ever heard. Most people wouldn't realize they are standing in the presence of greatness. That is raw talent, that is what the industry is afraid of. You can't teach that shit
the reverb makes it feel more meaningful somehow, as the performers voice echoes through the tunnels, it feels more lost in some way, but the reverberations keep it alive for so much longer
I've heard landslide live many many times (I dressed the original artist for 20 years on and off stage). This is absolutely as beautiful and powerful a version as any I ever heard in all my years on the road. Stunning. I wish this woman the very very best. May she be rewarded for offering her incredible gift so bravely.
you didnt dress ur self bud. no point mentioning that you dressed someone thinking it gives relevance. " I sold offspring a taco once so Im a audio expert" ... shave ur nuts, ur hairy
Did the performer, Ashley Stevenson, get a share of the revenue from this video? The link in the description to www.slimfreedom.com wants to install a web browser plugin.
I've seen this before but this time I noticed how most of the people had turned their faces towards the performer. When music is true this is what happens.
Yes ! I used to see this girl everyday going to work and she had the most beautiful voice and it caught me off guard! She’s so sweet! I hope she definitely gets hers! ❤️
Someone a lucky guy. What does this have to do with her talent and maybe she will make someone a lucky girl... Its about the fact she needs to be famous period and this si the kind of music to be heard on radio. Period.
Foggy Brain's you're funny kid. What does that have to do with her talent you ask? Well you want an ordinary chick or you want a Bad ass who can sing like that? Hahahahaha.
Well, since you asked... I like the song, and I can play it myself. It is a delicate song, and I just don't think this variation on it really fits the mood of the song. Innovation can be great, but not always. Maybe she should try playing a Led Zeppelin or a Who song in this frenetic acoustic style, it might work. Not for Landslide, though. Not for me. JMO.
Been 8 years and i still come back every few months . Depends what mood im in or if ive had a hard time. Raw . Real talent . My country was once filled with artists like this who have migrated or are hidden in local pubs not getting sales . Salute to everyone struggling and just trying to survive
@@kudojay1840 I used to see her quite often at the Washington El in Chicago. She’d practice certain licks over and over and over. She’’s actually quite nice and her voice is honestly too loud and powerful for that station.
Be happy she shared it with us...it might not be the brightest and most glamorous setting but holy shit did she make it work. Goes to show it's not the situation that defines the person. It's how they deal with it.
This may be some of the best strum patterns I've ever heard. A few interesting chord selections as well. I'm honestly mad this woman isn't a profound rockstar yet.
I love her voice but I'm actually thinking the opposite, there's no dynamic at all to her playing, and the strumming is many times out of rythm. But yeah, that's not the mainfocus here, her singing is absolutely stunning.

This wasn’t a performance, this was an experience. Man I wish I could’ve been there.
I used to live in Chicago and I tell you I heard so many performers that put people on the airwaves to shame. I made my commute
I like that
We just witness a shattering and an upheaval simultaneously 💔🖤
Nawl fr 😩
Me too
Wow!!!!! 7 years later and still amazing. Most unique version of “Landslide” I’ve ever heard.
Yes! I always come back to this. Nothing FEELS like this version does
By unique you mean out of tune singing and random shredding instead of guitar playing?
@@kenacarl6246 Truth! This was the song that was on repeat 4 me @ my Father's funeral
@@ramdas363lol so shredding is not a guitar skill? Why the hate
I’ve never heard landslide but this is my original hearing it for
The first time
Can we appreciate the acoustic design of that subway station and how great of a natural echo it adds to her voice.
zzXzTYLERzXzz i agree, it definitly played a part in making this sound so good
That's all Chicago subways
I saw her one day ago and her voice is incredible in person

I wouldn't say your grown, a 27 year old man has the brain span of a five year old 😂 jokes
This is the quietest you will EVER hear the subway. They alllllll listening.
Yes
Perhaps it was so quiet because there were no trains...
Facts
Hell I'm speechless.
Goggle products how many times are you going to comment your hatred of it? Not going to change the fact MANY people loved it obviously lol sad
The pain in her voice and the anger in her guitar playing. Gets me every time.
She killed it..
I thought the same thing, anger and pain, coming through the strings, I recognize it, scary aggressive. Well done but holy shit.
I lost it not even half way through. Amazing 😶
Exactly that she takes you to her place
i thought that was a dude with a nice ass voice
Ashley Stevenson is her name 😩 let’s make this just as popular as cranberry skater dude 💚💪🏽

Lol she’s as famous as she’d like to be. This is old
Also doggface is more than “cranberry skater dude” LOL

Yes you can always tell the difference when someone is doing that. Reminds me of Jeff Buckley and how he sang

There is something very spiritual about this.

Been coming back to this performance for about 3 yrs now and it captivates me each time. Breathtaking 🔥wow
Me too 😊
Absolutely no other cover comes close! I've been listening to it for the same time
Rachel Adu-Gyamfi same
i would like to hear her cover some tracy chapman songs..........
I thought this too. Talking about a revolution would be a good one.
First thing that came to mind!!
For real!!!!!
I was thinking that she reminds me of Tracy Chapman .
That was my very first thought once I heard that voice.... I love me some Stevie and some Tracy so this mash up blew me up. ❤️😭❤️😭
This blows my mind and gives me cold chills every time I come back to it. Thank you Ashley!!!
I have listened to this more than 100 times. It makes my soul feel complete and happy. What an awesome and amazing singer. She is a blessing
I think I'm the other 33 million...
I have come back to this for years. The man who posted this doesn’t deserve any of this shit. If he has made any money it should go to her
I've seen this girl hustling on that stop for 10years and her voice really sounds like that. The video doesn't show how powerful her voice is.. You can hear her as the train pulls up and from 3 other stops away and from outside the tunnels..which is Impressive in itself..
Reminds me of Tracy Chapman
She still be at the stop performing???
@@stressfreetv2263 I haven't been in a few years.
@@jej495 we may have missed her :(
@@maximyles she has a RUclips channel
her voice echoing through the tunnels, touched my spirit and made me tear up without control
Exact same thing!
Chills!! I broke down crying like a baby hearing this! This song is the reflection and reminder of the hell I have experienced in my life including watching my father die in front of me slowly from cancer, watching my grandma die slowly in front of me and now seeing my mom memory fade. Among me almost losing my life and being alone after my ex cheated on me when my father was dying and marrying another man after all my love loyalty and supreme dedication. I'm still here. I'm still grateful and not giving up.
Someone please give Ashley a real chance, she is crazy talented
Ashley Stevenson.. she has a patreon and an album out
@@JohnDoe-wh5yh where's the album?? On spotify??
@@gabriellameattray9778 i dont know i found it on bandcamp its called "Freedom"
ashleystevenson.bandcamp.com/album/freedom
A real chance? Like signed to an evil establishment to exploit and emotionally destroy her? Nah
I SEE THIS GIRL ALMOST EVERYDAY ON MY WAY HOME SHES AMAZING AND DESERVES ALL THE LOVE
Is she aware of her interwebs fan base?
Mr. B she was on tedx not long ago
@@marial.rapaglia4041 at the end you can see her name is Ashley
@@legendsofthemyth7359 PLEASE give my love to Ashley when you see are beautiful SISTER again from goudhurst Kent UK 🤗 a true talent 👍 PEACE BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALLWAYS AND FOREVER 🕊
I missing taking the El
God bless the person filming this that allowed us to witness this magic from wherever we are in the world and captured pure art.
@WerdaMalik
Look at her video where she talks about this. He claims all the money, and told her she had to buy the video from him when she asked if she could have a copy.
@@whengrapespop5728 seriously? Sad
Beautiful wasn’t it!!
When Grapes Pop really, she had to buy the video off him!?? Wtf man, that shit is unreal!. What a nasty man if that is the case
unsubscribed for stealing her art. shame on you
1:50 is the moment that gives me chills.
A crowded subway full of busy people all filled with the stress of their own problems stops in unison and listens to him preform
You can hear the genuine anguish. You only get that by living life.
The BLUES can teach you that.
Agreed!
or just being born with that voice probably
gj sherlock, sure cant do that when ur dead
STFU with this pseudo intellectual drivel.
Easily one of the most unique and beautiful covers I've ever heard. Just wow
You're so right
I absolutely love that everyone is silent listening to this. let the artist have the platform without any interruptions
Jeff Boyd except for the ignorant bitch with the headphones in at the end!!
You're an ignorant bitch for thinking someone is ignorant bitch for walking down a walkway to go where she was intending to go....
ChrisChillzz and you are an ignorant bitch for calling me an ignorant for calling her an ignorant when she is an ignorant bitch!!! 😝
The soul and emotion being felt here is outstanding 🥲😪💜
The scenario in which she is performing “Landslide” and the amount of emotion in her voice...it’s an incredible moment to capture. The video itself is art.
This was her moment. I would have cried if I watched this magic in person.
Yeah, unbelievable that people are just walking by an angel 😇..
Absolutely
I cried seeing it on RUclips. Tbh
She prob does it most days,
Literally crying as I’m typing this… tears of joy. My mother took her life a few years back and this was her favorite song.
i hope you’re doing okay baby
I hope you’re ok. 💕💕
💙🙏🏽✊🏽
Hope ur doing OK Taylor sorry for you loss god bless you and your family
❤❤❤❤
This performance never ceases to bring me to tears
She is amazing!!! I used to go to that stop just to listen to her. The first time I did I decided not to take my train and just stay longer listening.
Id love to know how she is doing now?? She is amazing XX
@@MARYANNE269 me too! I left Chicago a year ago so haven't seen her ever since. She truly is incredible!
Alejandra Blanco Awh 💗
Alejandra Blanco, hope you have some money dude Xx
@@Madgeney I was very happy to support her with what I had :)
Somebody tell me why gifted artists like this get no recognition while we're forced to listen to the commercial clowns daily?
It's actually pretty simple; the music industry has perfected their systems so well like a well oiled machine that they know exactly what they're looking for. They're looking for repeated success to get a return on their investment. People like her have to work 100X harder to become successful in the industry by creating a following already and be able to show a good record of already producing assets (songs, albums, etc) Only then do labels invest since there's proof of success. Also Rock is like 5-10% of the industries source of income at the moment so that makes it even harder.
Eric C also politics amongst musicians.
Çause they won't sell their soul not for sale
You aren’t forced to listen to shit. If there was so much of a demand for these artists they’d be mainstream but instead they’re going broke because people like you just feed on what you’re being fed. There’s plenty of talented artists like the one shown in this video, just look a little.
She’s on RUclips and your commenting about her performance isn’t that recognition....
Girl hit straight out the park 🔥
This is a guy
Sorry wrong video I retract my previous statement
Right out the station * 😂
Yup and right back into the city! 🙂
Sounds a bit Neil Young esque.She needs singing lessons but not bad at all !
This resonates in my soul just like the raw and powerful effect of a burning sun I love Fleetwood Mac I grew up on bands of the 70s 80s and 90s this kind of talent only comes around so I wish her all the best she needs to be heard
A lot of pain in that voice. It's beautiful.
Exactly my thoughts 👌 along with the acoustics on that platform make it quite powerful.
It is a great performance.
Kids take note, no matter how talented you are bad choices will wreck your dreams.
I think you meant allot of pain listening to that voice. At least what I hope that's what you meant.
@@hockey365 that doesn't even make sense 🤷♂️ why would he have meant that? Its the pain in his voice, just like he said.
@@jeremyhinze8837 it's a woman. You don't even know the obvious gender but you can sure hear that "pain"?? GOOD luck to you.
This rendition, in that setting, under those conditions - was simply other-worldly. It was the absolute best, most heart-wrenching version of this song I have ever heard in my life. And, sadly, it will never be repeated (same echo, same emotion, same pre-fame circumstances).
What these lucky people have witnessed in person, was better than just about any live performance I've ever seen in a stadium.
They have no idea what they were witness to, and that only adds to the sadness and authenticity of Ashley Stevenson's incredible raw talent.
I am positive that - like me - so many of the over 26M views of this are repeat performances. We're all coming back for the incredible emotional pull it gives us, with every view.
You can tell, this isn't *just* another song for her, she's laying her soul out there for all to see; and, for me, it's one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen.
Thank you Ashley, peace, and please stay safe.
Well Said.
gorgeously said.
What are you talking about? Obviously a dude. Not a chick. And can't sing if his life depended on it. People are so easily led in nefarious directions.
Thank the universe he recorded for everyone to witness!
Keith Harden maybe you have to already love landslide by fleet wood; I noticed it was all chicks giving money and it’s a song loved by women?! I absolutely love this song and it is what made me want to play guitar when I was a teen. This rendition is sublime
you really do get goosebumps watching this, it's crazy.
every once and a while I come back to listen to her
I liked how she made it her own. There was something more emotional about the performance, like she was expressing a different emotion than Stevie nicks when she sang it. And her guitar skills added alot to it as well. Shes a talented musician.
i didn't know the song before, anf i cried when i heard this performance. Looked up the original, but it aint got nothing on this rendition.
@@Rem_NL seriously this is a very special piece here, cannot be replicated i contiguously come back to this.
Felt that too 🥺
Yeah, I think Stevie Nicks was dogshit compared to this😂
Very well said….
Just grabs my soul everytime. Easily played this 200 times
Tears streaming down my face.......WOW!!!!
@@phtaylor33 mine too watch it 5 times... Luv it.
Me too nick I always come back to this and it gets me every time
To experience a moment like these in person is one of the greatest feelings of humanity
Every once in a while when I’m feeling blue I come back to watch this video. It never fails to make me smile, or make me cry. Just depends on the day.
this sounds like she is playing for her life. the way it should be, excuse me .sound.
That's a great fuckin description
Slim plays from the heart. She is lovely.
That's because she is. Have you seen how few views and followers she has? The person who recorded this video has more followers on youtube than she does. I hope that you followed her because she has given years of her life away to perform this at this level for you.
@@hectatusbreakfastus6106 does she have a RUclips channel? I would love to hear more of her voice.
@@hectatusbreakfastus6106 she is not worried about fudging youtube. She was just expressing her love for music her passion her art
Ive watched this video over 50 times through out the years and it still gives me chills. Beautiful voice!
Me too! I've got to come back at least once a month and get my fix!
Same. I wish I could have been there too. Not only to experience it, but to try to repay it in an offering of a few meager dollars.
Same 😮💨
she came out of her human body, and went celestial on this guitar!
For real
Yeah.. Her voice is haunting and speaks to my soul..
Good to see appreciative people recognising the the effort, let alone the talent
I feel it in my soul, that is some of the greatest re-invetions of a song I have ever heard. Most people wouldn't realize they are standing in the presence of greatness. That is raw talent, that is what the industry is afraid of. You can't teach that shit
Her voice is powerful I haven't had goosebumps like this in a while
I love the passion she put into this
Jimmy The Gent I feel like you can hear the pain pouring out in their voice.
This is incredible. Wow
her voice touched me but I can't explain this feeling it's honestly incredible her voice
Its the passion & the pain
I could truly feel her pain.
the reverb makes it feel more meaningful somehow, as the performers voice echoes through the tunnels, it feels more lost in some way, but the reverberations keep it alive for so much longer
Gives me Tracy Chapman vibes
Absolutely killed it. I love when someone makes a song their own and doesn’t just cover it but molds it to their own will
That's the difference between an artist and a musician.
@@GetFuktPriusOwners couldn’t describe it better myself
@@GetFuktPriusOwners an artist creates original musician just covers
I've heard landslide live many many times (I dressed the original artist for 20 years on and off stage). This is absolutely as beautiful and powerful a version as any I ever heard in all my years on the road. Stunning. I wish this woman the very very best. May she be rewarded for offering her incredible gift so bravely.
If you know STEVIE send her this. She would love it ..💗
That is one incredible compliment. And worthy of it.
thats such cap lmfao. you dressed fleetwood mac? gtfo dumbass
A gem
]
you didnt dress ur self bud. no point mentioning that you dressed someone thinking it gives relevance. " I sold offspring a taco once so Im a audio expert" ... shave ur nuts, ur hairy
I come back to listen to this every month. I don’t listen to any other subway or public performance.. it’s THIS one
Creds for showing her name at the end. too many street artists never found again when their name is not on display
Did the performer, Ashley Stevenson, get a share of the revenue from this video? The link in the description to www.slimfreedom.com wants to install a web browser plugin.
The power and strength overcome by desperation that you hear in her voice is simultaneously beautiful and heartbreaking.
So well said.
His*
@@msmegification If you see at 3:05 it says Ashley Stevenson on her performer’s permit ID
It's called recreational drugs.
you know you’re good when a subway goes silent to listen to you.
They were just wondering why it was playing so loud... waiting for the cracked out outburst lol
Izaak Thoms ther hopeing shes stops
Sounds like shit. Someone puts a hat on the floor, plays the guitar and dipshits on RUclips think they sound like a rockstar.
I've seen this before but this time I noticed how most of the people had turned their faces towards the performer. When music is true this is what happens.
@@JB-jn9kb Its easy to criticize, record something yourself and post it.
You talk a big game surely its no effort for a musical genius like you.
Damn I get shivers every time I watch this. And it's been many many times. Especially when the camera turns and everyone is in awe.
Yes ! I used to see this girl everyday going to work and she had the most beautiful voice and it caught me off guard! She’s so sweet! I hope she definitely gets hers! ❤️
Lucky you? How long ago was that?
This was about 2 years ago Maryanne
She needs to be credited for this! Do you know her name or handle? I’m sure she has social media and could use the promotion
You'd think after a day or 2 she'd disappear and the next time you saw her was on TV.
me too
Can't remember the last time someone brought a tear to my eye with music.
Thank you.
Bless you.
Thank you and bless you Ashley.
The new tool song is out... Soooo.....
YouRTrue PoweR
this gives me goosebumps & brings tears to my eyes. absolutely amazing
Me too
achoo
How can anyone dislike this? She murdered that guitar surprised it's not on fire. 10/10
TheSmilodon85 I agree. She's a cutie plus a beautiful voice. She's gonna make someone a lucky guy!!
Someone a lucky guy. What does this have to do with her talent and maybe she will make someone a lucky girl... Its about the fact she needs to be famous period and this si the kind of music to be heard on radio. Period.
Foggy Brain's you're funny kid. What does that have to do with her talent you ask? Well you want an ordinary chick or you want a Bad ass who can sing like that? Hahahahaha.
Hyperion Prime that's a dumb reason to dislike the video lmao
Well, since you asked... I like the song, and I can play it myself. It is a delicate song, and I just don't think this variation on it really fits the mood of the song. Innovation can be great, but not always. Maybe she should try playing a Led Zeppelin or a Who song in this frenetic acoustic style, it might work. Not for Landslide, though. Not for me. JMO.
Been 8 years and i still come back every few months . Depends what mood im in or if ive had a hard time.
Raw . Real talent .
My country was once filled with artists like this who have migrated or are hidden in local pubs not getting sales .
Salute to everyone struggling and just trying to survive
This touched my soul...straight up
dude that reverb was achieved without any effects. is this an angel?
You just never know...
No its a subway
I think
@@kudojay1840 I used to see her quite often at the Washington El in Chicago. She’d practice certain licks over and over and over. She’’s actually quite nice and her voice is honestly too loud and powerful for that station.
@@RobPetty622 yuh
It saddens me to see real talent performing in the subway, and Cardi b gets fame...
Pathetic right?
Rodger that man
Be happy she shared it with us...it might not be the brightest and most glamorous setting but holy shit did she make it work. Goes to show it's not the situation that defines the person. It's how they deal with it.
EXACTLY!!!
Tony Starks LMAOO she has more talent than Beyoncé 😆
wow wow wow this song makes me feel life. hits every cell in my body. she is truly a rare gem.
Imagine if this wasn’t recorded... Performed but never seen by the world.
Woukd be worse then this lock down were all in 😂
@@ryyjft9749 😂😂😂😭
The call that the NFT now lol
This is really everyday in Chicago on the Subway.
Imagine all the moments that were not recorded
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this. Straight chills down my spine. So talented and gifted 🙏 hope she is doing well
Talents are natural
Gifts come from God for the Church
you’re so lucky i wish i was there & got to witness this she’s so talented
This may be some of the best strum patterns I've ever heard. A few interesting chord selections as well. I'm honestly mad this woman isn't a profound rockstar yet.
I just came across this and feel the same way. Between her voice and guitar skills, def deserves stardom more than many popular musicians atm 💫
I hope someone signs her to a label
I was just feeling same way about it.
In my home city😌
I love her voice but I'm actually thinking the opposite, there's no dynamic at all to her playing, and the strumming is many times out of rythm. But yeah, that's not the mainfocus here, her singing is absolutely stunning.
1:49 😭😭😭😭😭 absolutely incredible. That voice crafted perfectly by our magnificent creator. 🙏🏽
