Sarah very graciously played this song at a show a few nights ago, at the request of an audience member. She said she hadn't played it for about 5 years, and very quickly placed the capo and started flawlessly picking Paul Simon's intricate guitar part. She became emotional while singing the lyrics and the magic of the moment became very deep and expansive. I was enthralled by the sensitivity and genuine and personal connection with this song. Paul Simon should be proud, and the audience response was exuberant and loud.
Paul Simon should thank you for doing the best cover of this wonderful song I have ever heard I am 68 years old now and have heard them all ( you put your hart into Kathie ) well done Sàrah you will go a long way in the music world 🙏🏼☘️☘️💚☘️🙏🏼
This is still one of the best music videos of all time. I listen to it regularly. no matter how many times I listen to it it gives me goosebumps thank you so much Sarah!!!
Guitar teacher here. I play this song myself -- one of my favorites. She is the only performer I've heard who has been able to reproduce the musical subtleties with which Simon played and sang this great poetic song -- one that he wrote at around 22 years old or so that foretold his epic talent to unfold over the decades. Terrific job by Sarah!
Just saw her the other night on Austin City Limits. Never heard of her, wasn't sure what to think when I read the description of her genre. I sat there for the half hour she played just mesmerized. A very rare performer, so young, so talented. The future of music is safe in hands like Sarah.
TheBent139 My thoughts exactly. Too many people think 'today's music sucks' and they are just not hearing those artists that can really deliver such exquisite beauty.
Welcome aboard! I've been a fan for many years (relatively, she is young, 26). Please buy all her CDs. You will not regret buying any one of them. Sarah is an American treasure. Also, check out I'm With Her, a trio of Sarah Jaroz, Aoife O'Donovan and Sara Watkins; you will be very happy!
The 11 people who don't like this must not like music at all. That was lovely. One of the most beautiful songs Paul Simon ever wrote, performed amazingly.
Some people are just honest, and don’t sugar-coat everything. Simon & Garfunkel’s versions are on a different level from this somewhat flat, though enjoyable, performance. She is very competent, but it lacked a certain intimacy/sincerity. Her guitar work and vocals were as clean as it gets, but there’s more than that too being a “great” performer. There’s no need to knock those who have a different take on a performance. I would go see her in a Nashville bar, or a small venue, if I were in the area, but that’s about it. Many years ago I traveled to Central Park, NYC, to see Simon & Garfunkel perform before a half-million fans. That’s an indicator of the difference between the quality of these artists.

I’ve seen many musicians in my 68 years. Sarah is one of the few that doesn’t put on an act. Her presence delivers a much appreciated honesty that our world craves.🎶💞🌻
Sarah has one of the most beautiful voices and I have long admired her covers of Dylan, Paul Simon and others. Her original composition of Hometown is also outstanding.
Sarah was a regular at the bluegrass jam in her hometown of Wimberley through high school and I played with her and others a lot. What a blessing! Sarah is the rarest of jewels!
Written in 1965 by Paul Simon and performed by Simon & Garfunkel, song "Kathy´s Song" ***** And for sure i love this version in the voice and attitude of Sarah Jarosz. Worth.
Sarah's jurney since the day she performed Kathy's song has been a learning as well as a teaching experience. Sarah's style never wavers from the truth within her.Sarahs a master of the strings while her personality and voice accompany her with strength beauty. Solo or performing concerts with friends of the highest musical ability is a experience like no other.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸
So Beautiful !! Sarah lovely Sarah you sing so sweet. this song reminds me of a lovely lady I once knew, her name was Jessica. I will never foreget her. Hope to see her again 1 day. Will always Love Her ! :- ( !
I'm just loving watching her career soar. I discovered her about 3 years ago. I've been a huge fan ever since. She evokes emotions and moves the soul with her writing.
Unbelievable artist with a pallet and paintbrush of so, so many different and beautiful and gorgeous colors of the spectrum. You take me away every time you play...
I've never heard of Sarah Jarosz before today. I looked up guitar lessons to learn Kathy's Song and this video popped up as an option. Her performance of a beautiful version of a beautiful song is damn near perfect. I am in awe.
This is THE best example for those who have a hard time playing and singing at the same time. Sarah, please message me you're incredible! I'm no one. So I know you won't but my god I'm speechless watching your videos
Sarah Jarosz is a Polish-American singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and graduate of New England’s Conservatory of Music. Hails from Austin, Texas and now based in New York. I think her cover of Kathy’s Song (one of my all-time Simon and Garfunkel favourites) is absolutely fabulous.
A young girl from Wimberly, Texas plays and sings one of the most beautiful songs Paul Simon wrote. this girl is SUPER talented, the best of the best.....
I am listening to this again and it still amazes me. She has her Emmies and new success with " I'm with Her" but her quiet playing and singing here are so good.
When I heard her sing this on ACL I fell instantly in love with her and her musical genius one of the most amazing talents of our folk/americana/bluegrass culture...
World class, generational talent. Period. Sarah is an outstanding composer, a poetic lyricist and a fine musician. These combined talents at her level don't happen often. I'm hooked. She's a precious addition to the music world.
I used to have to avoid listening too carefully to Paul Simon's recording of this song, unless I wanted a good cry. Sarah definitely gets it--Beautiful.
Thank you for this beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. There's little I can add to what others have said in your praise, but I'd like to say that you've captured the essence of the song. I know, because I got the same goosebumps that I do whenever I hear the original.
Maybe the best version of Paul Simon's best song, which is really saying something when you consider the other top versions on TH-cam are by the man himself plus Art Garfunkel and Eva Cassidy, two of the best pure singers in recent memory. Something about this version, though... just so effortlessly gorgeous.
Such amazing talent and such a beautiful creature should be idolized among the best of them, keep up the good work Sarah I'll look out for you whenever I'm here.
Great one , I knew this one covered by Shawn Colvin on her live ‘88 cd I thought then no one could reached that cover , you did , love it.... well done...
who else is watching this on christmas day 2024

Same age. Agree totally:)
She brings this song very beautiful.... but I like the version of Eva Cassidy even more, have you heard this version?
Just shy few years of yours - no kidding she poures her heart into it.👍
This was such a great rendition. Lovely voice. Lovely young lady. But Sean Reynolds have you ever heard this song sung by Eva Cassidy?
Im 74 :-) ! Ditto !!!!
This is still one of the best music videos of all time. I listen to it regularly. no matter how many times I listen to it it gives me goosebumps thank you so much Sarah!!!
I love that every word of Paul Simon's lyrics can be distinguished, and such a heartfelt rendition.
Guitar teacher here. I play this song myself -- one of my favorites.

Terrific job by Sarah!
Listen to Eva Cassidys rendition...so sensitive ,.filled with emotion...my favourite
I saw a Interview where Art was talking about that He wrote this Song for his wife Kathy. ( Of cause, that time still not).
Just saw her the other night on Austin City Limits. Never heard of her, wasn't sure what to think when I read the description of her genre. I sat there for the half hour she played just mesmerized. A very rare performer, so young, so talented. The future of music is safe in hands like Sarah.

Right, thats how i found her and milk carton kids.I sleep easy

See her with I'm With Her if you get a chance
So true! One music critic opined: "Jarosz may help save country music."
One of the best Paul Simon covers...ever...
I agree, absolutely beautiful. Nice to see her not change up the melody and at the same time not try to do it lik S&G
Yup
Ever.
The best. In a class by itself. :-)
Except for Eva Cassidy
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
She has great time, tone, pitch and feel - there's not many who have all of those.
Great version of Paul Simon's song. Should be a million views !!!
you sound like you came from the 1960s and make beautiful music too. I love you.
This song leaves one feeling a deep humility. Not many can reach the root of a Paul Simon song, I think this artist has done so here. Very very fine.
🙌
i literally have never heard her do anything that I haven't been in awe of. So much talent, so much beauty. Each cover so amazingly done.
I have found myself toggling back and forth between Sarah Jarosz and Molly Tuttle lately. These ladies are fantastic.
She is fantastic. Stands out in this age of music. She is head and shoulders above all the other current youtube musicians.
The 11 people who don't like this must not like music at all. That was lovely. One of the most beautiful songs Paul Simon ever wrote, performed amazingly.
The killjoys will always be with us....don't take them too seriously

@@cablebrain9691 This was from almost 10 years ago. I just saw her two nights ago. Don’t write her off so easily.
@Leslie Dawe I haven’t.
I’ve seen many musicians in my 68 years. Sarah is one of the few that doesn’t put on an act. Her presence delivers a much appreciated honesty that our world craves.🎶💞🌻
Sarah has one of the most beautiful voices and I have long admired her covers of Dylan, Paul Simon and others. Her original composition of Hometown is also outstanding.
This isn't in the Eva Cassidy class but maybe America will learn this time and not ignore this extraordinary talent like they did with Eva
Saw Sarah open for John Prine in Portsmouth, NH a few weeks ago and was blown away!
87celticsfan that must have been amazing, I have loved John Prine since the beginning
I was there! It was an amazing show
Fantastic cover. The best Paul Simon's love song.
I wish someday she would sing this only to me outstanding
Sarah was a regular at the bluegrass jam in her hometown of Wimberley through high school and I played with her and others a lot. What a blessing! Sarah is the rarest of jewels!
This is the best cover of this song and umm.. sorry Paul, the best performance, IMO.
Written in 1965 by Paul Simon and performed by Simon & Garfunkel, song "Kathy´s Song" ***** And for sure i love this version in the voice and attitude of Sarah Jarosz. Worth.
A wonderful singer who deserves to be better known.
Love her voice, her guitar playing, the atmosphere. I should have been there when she played this. Greetings from the Netherlands.
This is great; right up there with the Eva Cassidy version.
My father used to sing me this, absolutely perfect Sarah Jarosz followed you and your music a long time!!
Kathy was a friend of Paul Simon and Art ,she lives in Wales now. Wonderful voice ...xx
I've listened to this cover si many times AND i never get tired.Beautiful!
Sarah's jurney since the day she performed Kathy's song has been a learning as well as a teaching experience. Sarah's style never wavers from the truth within her.Sarahs a master of the strings while her personality and voice accompany her with strength beauty.

One of the most beautiful songs written by Paul Simon. Thanks for such an amazing version.

So Beautiful !! Sarah lovely Sarah you sing so sweet. this song reminds me of a lovely lady I once knew, her name was Jessica. I will never foreget her. Hope to see her again 1 day. Will always Love Her ! :- ( !
I never thought someone could imo do this song better than P.S. she owns it it’s her song too.
I'm just loving watching her career soar. I discovered her about 3 years ago. I've been a huge fan ever since. She evokes emotions and moves the soul with her writing.
Pure Talent shines like a beacon and you Girl have just blinded me.xx
Never a truer word sung..❤😊😊
She is incredible!
Wonderful cover Bravo
Ethereal voice combined with the song is perfect.
Just felt like hearing the original song and ran across your cover. Thanks for making my day...
Beautiful version, wow!
Z Polski? nie słyszałem lepszego wykonania w wydaniu polskiej dziewczyny.. pozdrawiam :-)
She is just amazing. I heard her for the first time on Prairie Home Companion, when she was maybe 14 or 15.
One person said it earlier, “ Sarah, you’re just so good” it’s so true!
Wow such a beautiful rendition of an old favourite
Take a bow,Sarah. A masterpiece.
Unbelievable artist with a pallet and paintbrush of so, so many different and beautiful and gorgeous colors of the spectrum. You take me away every time you play...
I've never heard of Sarah Jarosz before today. I looked up guitar lessons to learn Kathy's Song and this video popped up as an option. Her performance of a beautiful version of a beautiful song is damn near perfect. I am in awe.
Small gal, huge guitar, voice of an angel. Wow!
You have a beautifully rich voice. Great cover. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely
awesome
This is THE best example for those who have a hard time playing and singing at the same time. Sarah, please message me you're incredible! I'm no one. So I know you won't but my god I'm speechless watching your videos

Humbly grateful Sarah,
Forest 🎶🌻
This is a true Star. Love and miss this music. Acoustic with her voice and talent is amazing ..
very beautiful... such talent.. Exceptional Sarah
Outstanding! I really love this song and this performance really does it justice.
This is the nicest cover of one of Paul Simon's greatest songs I've ever heard.
I really love this, well done!
she nailed it
Achingly beautiful.
When I heard her sing this on ACL I fell instantly in love with her and her musical genius one of the most amazing talents of our folk/americana/bluegrass culture...
Love this soo much, she looks and sounds like a folk goddess
She is a folk goddess! Just saw her in concert at a very small venue in Seattle, absolutely awesome. Can’t wait to see her again.
I just love Ms. Sarah. Always loved this song.
World class, generational talent. Period. Sarah is an outstanding composer, a poetic lyricist and a fine musician. These combined talents at her level don't happen often. I'm hooked. She's a precious addition to the music world.
Lovely!
Well she sold out a concert at the Union Chapel in London last night. It was a great performance and she performed this song too.
I used to have to avoid listening too carefully to Paul Simon's recording of this song, unless I wanted a good cry. Sarah definitely gets it--Beautiful.
Never realized how beautiful this song is
Her voice is so soothing..could listen to her a lot. Happy I ran into this.
Thank you for this beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. There's little I can add to what others have said in your praise, but I'd like to say that you've captured the essence of the song. I know, because I got the same goosebumps that I do whenever I hear the original.
She has a nice tone to her voice
This is so, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and keep sharing your amazing talent. Love from Ireland.
noticing as I replay this how she "nails it", those first chords...so amazing and beautiful, favorite song
for years, a huge inspiration thank you.
Such a strong and beautiful vocal. Memorandum to self: Discover more about this artist, of whom I have just now heard for the first time!
This and Shawn Colvin's version--both are just stunningly good!
She has a beautiful voice. Love this rendition of a classic song.
How is someone like this even possible
Maybe the best version of Paul Simon's best song, which is really saying something when you consider the other top versions on TH-cam are by the man himself plus Art Garfunkel and Eva Cassidy, two of the best pure singers in recent memory.
Something about this version, though... just so effortlessly gorgeous.
Paul Thomas,
She is very good but listen to Art sing it live, the yearning purity and poignancy are unique....the best.
Lovely but nothing can touch the 1969 live recording by Paul himself.
Really good 😊
lovely song, lovely playing, lovely girl.
Such amazing talent and such a beautiful creature should be idolized among the best of them, keep up the good work Sarah I'll look out for you whenever I'm here.
Great one ,
I knew this one covered by Shawn Colvin on her live ‘88 cd
I thought then no one could reached that cover , you did , love it.... well done...
wonderful singer and a great song A PLEASURE TO BEHOLD ,WHAT TALENT
So good,, and yet she has grown her art so much since than.
Gorgeous.
¡Bravo!! Así hay que cantar, con sentimiento y buena técnica. Gracias.
Knocked that one clear outa the park
More of Sarah at 'I'm with her', the 'Americana supergroup'.
Voice like an angel ....
