I have played this one for many years… found it in the 60’s.. been playing guitar for 57 years… took me a long time to acquire this level of very skilful fingerpicking and quite wonderful timing.. your voice is gentle and kind to the song.. I’m 71 in five days… these ‘classics’ are in good hands… buckets of musicians respect to you.. your whole performance oozes with that special quality that.. and others that listen to this will get it if they have the eyes and ears to recognise it… your not singing or playing.. your using the music mystically and spiritually.. you are ‘connecting’ young lady… your performance holds this listener.. the mark of the artist as communicator… keep looking after these precious songs.. thank you..🌸🙏
To perform any track from PS and AG is a mamoth, but to do " April come" is a class on its own. Deep respect and warm regards all the way from India. Roby.
April, come she will When streams are ripe and swelled with rain May, she will stay Resting in my arms again June she'll change her tune In restless walks she'll prowl the night July, she will fly And give no warning to her flight August, die she must The autumn winds blow chilly and cold September, I remember A love once new has now grown old
Honestly, a better cover is impossible. It is absolutely perfect: the softness, the sensitivity, the silences, the notes, the melody, the style, the beauty of your voice.
This is absolutely exquisite, and I'm only sorry that I didn't come across it a few years ago. I often teach this song, and since I found this video I've been recommending it to my students to use as a model. ♥
BEST COVER OF THIS SONG! not a wordsmith myself, so I can't put compose the ideal comment, but I've probably seen a million covers of this song, I LOVE YOUR VERSION!!!
Wow! I can't believe I am about to actually put this in writing but that may be better than the original. It's at least just as good. I love S&G and this has been my favorite song of theirs for many years. But.....wow.....
Another Spring has come -- "resting in my arms again." Beautiful song. Beautiful girl with beautiful hands and a beautiful voice. Thank you, Johanna, for making an old love seem new. xxxooo
This title is my all-time favorite by Simon & Garfunkel! Your interpretation is absolutely wonderful and when I close my eyes whilst listening, I seem to see the beloved girl lying next to me. Thank you very much indeed!
You have true talent....an Angelic voice perfect timing and superb skills re fingerpicking...alot of wanna be's on youtube...you are the real deal (I have played 60's songs since 1963 when I got my 1st guitar!!) I am moved by your rendition...truly beautiful....what a gem you are...
How beautiful how effortless how moving. You take my breath away and leave me in profound sorrow. You have something very few people , very few musicians have.
April come she will When streams are ripe and swelled with rain; May, she will stay, Resting in my arms again. June, she'll change her tune, In restless walks she'll prowl the night; July, she will fly And give no warning to her flight. August, die she must, The autumn winds blow chilly and cold; September I'll remember A love once new has now grown old
Loved this rendition. Your voice and your playing were a joy. I am a huge fan of Paul Simon and have been for decades, hence I am very 'judgey' of covers. Yours is a belter!
Sweet version of April.. nice guitar work and vocal. I teach this song to my guitar students once they get into finger work. One of Paul Simon's most beautiful songs. Well done.....

Well said, and majestically played and sung!
Very well said. ❤️
Perfectly put. This is a treasure, listening to this lovely version of a favorite of mine one.
I completely agree. Very beautiful ❤
Perfect fingerpicking, vocals that bring something true and special.
It seems like her fingers have been roaming those strings for a thousand years. Absolutely, stunningly beautiful.
Absoultely beautiful Paul Simon cover. I think Paul would be proud.
What a beautiful song. Will stand the the test of time and be still beautiful when we're all long gone.
Paul Simon
A genius 👏
Great work! This is my favorite Simon and Garfunkel song. You absolutely killed it.
The most sensitive and authentic cover around. When poetry meets its subject. Thanks a lot.
To perform any track from PS and AG is a mamoth, but to do " April come" is a class on its own. Deep respect and warm regards all the way from India. Roby.
Fantastic changes. Legendary rendition.
An excellent cover, a very unique voice and sounds brilliant performing that song.
You’ve got guts for doing such a well-known song that’s iconic, but you did Simon and Garfunkel proud. Your voice is beautiful.
April, come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May, she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August, die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September, I remember
A love once new has now grown old
I sing and play the guitar too. Please please don't ever stop. You must shair your beautiful gift.
Thank you for the lyrics!
Loved it. every note done right. So nice to see that such a masterpiece hasn't been forgotten.
That was so beautiful, you're very talented 💜

Honestly, a better cover is impossible. It is absolutely perfect: the softness, the sensitivity, the silences, the notes, the melody, the style, the beauty of your voice.
Good singer, good voice, sweet and correct.
This is an absolutely wonderful song, and your version is superb
I've been playing this for forty years and she has taught me the right way. I wil relearn, thanks Johanna
Ach! Lovely rendition of one of the best songs.
Finally a young person does justice to a great song. Flawless.
I'm very surprised that you play and sing this song very easily and beautifully! You made me want to play it by myself ! Thank you so much!
I grew up with S&G and your version brought back memories and tears. Thank you so much for this song and god bless you !!!!
This is absolutely exquisite, and I'm only sorry that I didn't come across it a few years ago. I often teach this song, and since I found this video I've been recommending it to my students to use as a model. ♥

What a musical voice! Rich and rings like a mellow bell.
Lovely. Played from the heart.
Simon and Garfunkel’s song book is without doubt just amazing - songs like this one just get better and better with age
Love
So beautiful 🎶❤️
I can listen to this all day wow
Wonderful playing and singing. I learned this song in the 60s and still can play it. What's striking is just how short a song it is! Jim
Wow.... I'm no longer bent out of shape. Thank you
The talent is with this one.

Six years to find this video. But well worth the wait. Beautiful rendition. Thank you!

Magical. The singing was a wonderful bonus. Your guitar playing is mesmerizing. Bravo.
Wow! I can't believe I am about to actually put this in writing but that may be better than the original. It's at least just as good. I love S&G and this has been my favorite song of theirs for many years. But.....wow.....
This is beautiful but nothing compares to the original
@@shahabhussain5120 I agree. Very, very, good cover. Especially the guitar playing-but the vocals are a bit too quiet.
Well done on play the song ...nobody can compete with Art Garfunkel voice....its unique....
Keep taking the pills
No

My hopes weren't high that justice could be done to this classic in a cover, but this? Gorgeous. Sensitive. Heartfelt. Thank you.

That’s just beautiful!
April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again.
June, she'll change her tune,
In restless walks she'll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.
August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
September I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old
Wow, I REALLY LOVE it !!!
Thank you !!
