I saw the story in the People's Daily newsletter about Nell. I had not heard of her before. After listening to The Weeping Song I could hear her talent and I love that song. I'm sending condolences to her family, friends, and music family. She was way too young.
The irony doesn't escape me. Nell unknowingly helped inspire my younger sister and a group of friends and I to get back into song writing. She made it so easy to support her work and just enjoy her art. Now I'm listening to Weeping Song on repeat after hearing the news. My heart goes out to her family mourning their loss and to everyone who loved her. If it helps, just remember one mathematical fact. Energy doesn't die it becomes something else. Here's hoping she's a Phoenix!
On my 50th birthday, I decided to spend the day alone. Without my family and without my friends. I traveled to a beautiful, snowy, icy valley to spend the night there. In my luggage I had a CD, a gift from my best friend. The CD by Nell and The Flaming Lips. I drove off and the songs started playing. I was immediately deeply moved by this gentle and warmly open voice and by the third song, tears were running down my face as I drove. I never met this young girl in person, but she touched my life deeply. Thank you Nell. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of this wonderful soul.
I come to this exact song with Nell singing so very often ... alas especially now on Saturday's. Just this evening (Oct. 26th) it still feels like we only just learned of losing this immense talent and not the fact that it is the 3rd Saturday since her passing. I cannot imagine what her family and close friends are enduring.
I love this song and singer so much! I discovered her only because I read who had died recently, I miss her and play this song over and over again. What a loss of a great addition to the world of music and art. Sympathy to her family.
Cannot help but keep returning here to the #WeepingSong . . . 17 years *young* it just is so wrong. Like all so many, sending along the best of thoughts to your family and friends as they navigate your loss.
Amazing this young girl of what 13-15 can sing like this. I love everything about it. Bravo to Nell & Wayne & all the Flaming Lips for this spectacular song.
I love the original version.. all time fave.. this version though scrapes the trauma i suffered when my father abandoned me when I was 7. It's haunting, excruciating and liberating all at the same time... this version penetrates my soul... thank you Nell...
@@NellSmithmusic WORD!!! I've got a few of your songs in my Playlist. When I'm writing, sometimes I'll put your song on repeat and just let it play over and over.
?? Dignity? The original versions lack dignity? Strange choice of words. Covers aren't easy, covering Nick Cave is damn hard. Almost everybody looses themselves in theatrical posing and insincerity. These covers aren't half bad (red right hand is a nice interpretation), which is a compliment. Do not like the echoing in the voice in this song though, think it would be better if it wasn't that pronounced.
Nell's voice on this entire album is Hauntingly Beautiful and i can't get over how this album hits every song, think this song and red right hand are tied for best of the album
Just happened to listen to her song while driving and started to tear for no reason. Sorry to hear one precious talented girl( same as my daughter age) passes away. Her voice is so beautiful
She makes years ago one vídeo where she appears like she was dead it was like a premonition; road its a great killer and the youngers and people have to have caution every minute.
My heart brakes, it stopped. Nell Smith was truly a rare voice, a gifted singer, I am shocked and saddened. Again, all our hearts break, are broken. I'm an older woman and my mother is ancient, and we both loved listening to her angelic voice that takes, took us to a place of calm, of just being, in the moment. This is a rare thing she offered to others. I so wonder what would have been in store not just for her, but for those of us mystified by the sounds she put out into this often, very cruel world. I pray her passing was not painful. How did this happen? I hope information is released.❤
What an eerily prophetic song 😭 *Rest Easy Beautiful* Please come back and find someone to manifest through this earthly life. And may your family & friends find peace and comfort, eventually 🙏
I had never heard of Nell (or Nick Cave, for that matter) until the announcement of her untimely death on American media, but I must say, these songs are both haunting and beautiful. The voice perfectly fits. I love the echo and the smooth sound of the vocals and can't imagine the devastation felt by her family and friends. RIP and I hope these videos stay up as a testament to this special girl's unique talent and spirit.
I'm very sad to hear of your passing young one. I pray that your family, friends, band mates and all the people that knew you and love you, grieve and forever cherish you and the many wonderful memories with you. May you rest in peace.
This song and your cover of it should be the anthem of our times. So many things for which we should weep, then get up and continue forward. Beautiful singing!
These are simply beautiful, and elegant covers. You are doing Nick Cave a wonderful service. Such a great use of reverb, and tremolo?!, on the Vox. Thank you.
Thank you for your courage to invest your voice in these great songs! It touches another chord in my soul, as Nick Cave does in his own way. Thank you for that!
@@NellSmithmusic Hello Nell, where in Germany can I buy this limited LP: "Where the Viaduct Looms LP with limited edition signed poster of Nell and The Flaming Lips"? According to the website, your shop only delivers to the UK, USA or Canada? Unfortunately I don't know anyone there. 🤪🤗 Would appreciate an answer. Warm greetings from Germany
Hello -- I, like all so many, are listening to Nell's music especially Oct 8th, 2024 onward. As you are in Germany you maybe have not heard that this outstanding 17 year old has left this world (via an automobile accident). That is what we know nor need to know. I hope you secured her music. Her new music is due in 2025 and I imagine of course it will be shared.
Amazing. Sitting here tearing up. Missing my mother so much. She passed away last year at this time. Great cover young miss. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. Hope to see ya in concert some day. RG
Wow thank you so much. I listen to music that helps me through and brings memories of hard times, I am so so happy I can touch people with my music the way others touches me.
#WeepingSong . . . of all songs this holds true to being all so important. We need to all continue to support her music plus with the F.Lips of course, videos, and socials. Also to ensure her family and friends hear from those of us that never even knew her ... that she is heard and will remain to be so.
Listen. I don’t want to over articulate. Your incredible. I know the nuances about this album, but it was you that killed it. For the record I’m from OKC and have seen them 5 times. I wish you the best. Your so cool. I don’t push media on people but I have sent that album to many loved ones. Get it, girl.
Oct 7 2024 just read the very sad news. May you Rest high on the mountains with the Angels now. Sending love and prayers to your family and may you rest easy
Your intrepretation is really beatyfull. All the songs. You haves songs of you? I spend that. I discovered you trought the Flaming Lips. Congratulations and Thanks!!!
Just came across this tonight in the UK, Nell you are probably part of a really special record . Your voice is amazing and works amazingly with Nick Cave songs . Just wish I'd found this before and come to hear it live .
Nell…grasp this opportunity and try to embrace every beautiful moment. I have been in touring bands since ‘93. Gave it up but it was the greatest time of my life. The Flaming Lips were the first band I ever saw at a bar in Rochester, NY at 15. I have followed them and have been in awe of the many growth spurts they have gone through. And now you. Time flies. Even on days that seem redundant with travel and the BS business side of music learn from it and try to enjoy every second. If I’m coming off preachy it’s the furthest from what I’m trying to convey. I just didn’t embrace my opportunity and took it for granted. You have a beautiful and unconventional voice which is so refreshing even as a Lips fan. Much respect and hope for a bright future. Aaron Azagoth
Incredible cover, I hope you do another full length with the flaming lips. You seem to be the missing vocalist for their sound. Best of luck to you, regardless. Looking forward to whatever your next musical projects are.
I felt a lump in my throat. Shall I swallow it or is it too poisonous for the heart? Well, I'll keep it like this. By the way, I felt the same way when first listened to The Ship Song. Such a pretty repertoire, such a pretty triad (You-FLips-NCave), such a pretty album! Pretty and DANGEROUS for the heart
Just found out this sad news, thus this song. 17 too young in a tragic accident. My condolences to family & all. I to lost a brother too young, so i feel ya🎻🎼🎧🎸🥁😢😭😔
@@NellSmithmusic Rest in peace Nell . . . passed on so very soon. So many out *here* sending your family, friends, fellow musicians that knew you or of you... all the best as they move through grieving. Thank you for what you shared with all of us and those that will sadly *just now* learn about you through your passing. May your songs continue to be found and adored.
Came here after hearing the tragic news. What a voice, gone way too soon. She now sings with the angels. RIP, Nell.
Same
Our grandson is in this video...so proud of his efforts for emotion!
He was absolutely amazing and I'm sure if he wants to pursue acting he will go very far, he has talent especially amazing for his age.
This video is really well done. Smoking perfect.

still here. this song is forever.
Wow, I had never heard of her until I heard about her passing. She had an amazing voice. RIP Nell❤

Thank you, it's really great when Nick Cave fans like the cover. I'm sorry for your trauma. x
RIP BEAUTIFUL NELL SMITH 10-05-2024. It saddens me that you're so young. Prayers for all the family
Idk what it is about Nell's voice, but she brings a kind of dignity to all these covers she sings! Keep it up, young lady!
Thank you very much!!
@@NellSmithmusic WORD!!!

Beautiful song and wonderful voice nell ❤
Love the straight-tone in Nell’s vocal style. Another great cover. Again I’m obsessed.
Thank you very much
RIP Nell, you sing like an angel, now you are one.
Just happened to listen to her song while driving and started to tear for no reason. Sorry to hear one precious talented girl( same as my daughter age) passes away. Her voice is so beautiful
What a shame the world should lose this musical genius so young. Clearly her talent is undeniable
I used to cry. Now I weep. Rest in love Nell.
Rest in pace your voice now shall be at Heaven singing with Angels ❤

This is so much better than the original... the whole album... so many new layers... and I'm a 52 y/o die hard Nick Cave fan.
Oh my, that is very kind of you to say. I saw Nick Cave in London for the first time this summer, he was AMAZING!
@@NellSmithmusic Hope to hear more from you soon! Amazing voice.

Such a Weeping moment - beautiful voice ! RIP Nell !
The blank state of emotions in both her face and sound .... Goosebumps... RIP YOUNG ANGEL 😢
