![TREASURE - 'KING KONG' COMEBACK SPECIAL [THE TREASURE SHOW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jx1wyMaQzf0/mqdefault.jpg)
She looks like a Greek goddess painting has come to life.
Now that you mentioned it I can’t help but imagine her background change you know the birth of Venus?
Rather Celtic.
I know, right?
@@Andypos I immediately thought Princess Merida
Preraphaelite
her voice, her hair, her dress, the orchestra, the piano and the sun almost finished setting in the background, im honestly kinda obsessed
Likewise. 💗
And would be nice to take her out for a warm dinner after.
It really is THE perfect aesthetic for this performance, isn't it?
@@chrisvandergriff504 You've got that right, well said.
I'd watch this so much more if I didn't risk making myself too moody every time lol
This sounds like something that would play at the end of an Apocalypse movie. Especially the “where did we go wrong?” part
Would totally fit in a Dr. Strangelove type ending, great idea!
We would need that on every news bulletin...
Don't Look Up.
The mixolydian chord change behind that phrase punctuates the darkness of that thought.
*EXACTLY!*
I think the genius of this cover it actually highlights the somber tones of the song. Like the whole thing is usually set very sunshiney, but the lyrics themselves are PERFECT for a sad and somber moment.
Yes! I don’t think I really „got the song until I heard Allison and PMJB doing their version.
@@markzieg3593
"Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way"
I think this line, is what changes the tone of the song for me. It takes it from a sort of happy jaunt to what effectively feels like something youd say to a terminally Ill person.
Seriously go back and read the first few lines with that in mind and you'll get veeeeeery different feels from this song. To me it feels like someone trying to cheer up their terminally Ill friend on that once in a while good day
Happy-sounding with darker undertones
This song is the third part of a longer composition, the first two parts of which are actually pretty sombre in the original. It's supposed to be an upbeat contrast to them.
@@DerekRoss1958what are the first two parts? Because Mr. Blue Sky is the second track on its original album.
So excited and proud of Allison! She’s a former student of mine and we always knew she was destine for greatness...this is stunning!
Destined
Ryu Bullet Yup...that was necessary.
Oh this gave me a warm fuzzy feeling to read 😍.
Stunning...ly awful.
@@ChrisPage68 This isn't a comment thread about you lol.
Every song that PMJ covers instantly becomes magical. I really love this one.
Thanks Charles 😊
@@postmodernjukebox Thank you too. Your music has literally changed my life for good. I love you guys.
Superbe. J aime bcp. Bonne année
Id say this song was already magical before; But yes, I agree!
Chast agreed on both counts. I will say though especially not only covering but genre shifting ELO of all groups -- not LOSING the magic is still really impressive.
I’m sure that Jeff Lynne (founder of ELO) is VERY proud of Allison’s performance on this video. She’s found a way for this song, which is one of my life long favorites, to touch my heart in a different way, equally as enjoyable.
To me it sounds like she (and her writers) took the song back in time. it’s an interesting arrangement for sure!
I really hope that she and Joshua Lee Turner haven't had a falling out. I loved seeing their videos. Separately, they are just two musicians that you can hear anywhere. Together, they were so sweet, I couldn't listen enough.
I'd love to see what you guys could do with Elton John's "I'm Still Standing."
Ian Martínez Cassmeyer If they could do a Rat Pack cover of it, it would be KILL
Or Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
OMG YES I LOVE YOU
Pomplamoose has a great cover of I'm still standing (and this song)
@@notjimbutcloseenough I just watched them. I agree. They're great covers.
The most unexpected and soulful cover of this song I have ever heard.
I loved ELO as a child, but nonetheless I think this is an improved version.
@@catsupchutney no it aint. But it is a very tasteful cover for sure.
@@Chorochronchotor You mean you don't think it is. Art is subjective.
@Meme Undertext Should we get into an "is not... is too" battle?
Two different versions for two completely different moods. Each superb in its way.
Proof that good music is good music. And this rendition is absolutely beautiful!!!
Probably the best cover I've ever heard....and that said from a ELO fan who has followed the group for nearly 45 years.
Magnificent voice and magnificent orchestration from PMJ😊
She is the opposite of "not knowing what to do with your hands"
She's doing the fucking macerena half the time, looks stupid as fuck.
@@ATLTraveler could you timestamp a macarena moment for me please, I'd like to know what it looks like.
@@ATLTraveler Her performance was absolutely amazing. It's easy calling everything "stupid" when you have no talent.
@@jeanthiago4243 He definitely isn't into women, but that shouldn't be an excuse for being so arrogant and insulting towards Allison...
Now I can't stop watching her hands.. thanks
I could see this playing as a sort of bittersweet ending at the end of some form of dystopian movie. Or perhaps a spy film
Or a space movie
A man is behind a machine gun firing his machine gun as his comrades, part of the resistance run away to the escape craft as the regime forces close in on the building, meanwhile somewhere else, the protagonist is on his knees in front of the tyrant as 1 man behind aims his long rifle at his head as it flashes back to the Machine gunner as he is overrun as he begins throwing fists at the enemy as his other comrades are shot and only 2 escape crafts make a way as the screen fades to black as the song ends on a gun shot.
(Idk what i'm doing)
This is what we’ll play if we ever stop global warming and pollution
Definitely a BioShock movie
I must think at Metropolis(Anime) ending
Rainy day (flood warnings) here in Australia in May 2024 now Allison has brightened up the day.
The change of tempo and the amazing interpretation through Allison's singing definitely expresses the inherent longing of the song's lyrics. Extremely well done.
You know what's weird? She has some of the best Jazz club singer arm movements around, just incredibly expressive and perfect for the moments in the song. I assumed she had been doing it for many years to get that good.
But her other videos are generally her with a guitar ... and she is ridiculously young. I'm not sure she has ever performed like this before. Just a perfect natural.
She has a life full of amazing performances ahead of her.
Allison is clearly a natural talent who can inhabit a character exhibiting impressive depth with what appears to be little experience.
She also has years of classical training.
mesmerizing
@@phealy02
Umm, thats ancient literature.
Shes a singer/ muscian. And thats what she has classical training in.
@@phealy02
My 1st comment was in response to the comment above mine saying she has natural talent. I was letting them know she has years of training. Which in her own words is classically based. You sounded unknowledgable about it, so I clarified the idea.
If you made a joke yeah I didn't catch it.
I've never seen someone who looked just like a marble statue came to life. Beautiful song, beautiful music. Best rendition of Mr. Blue Sky I've heard so far.
You should hear Pomplamoose's Blue Sky cover, also incredible
@@babarman5706 Thanks, Man! I loved it. I need Moar! I'll add it to the Blue Sky collection :1
@@assasinsmine No problem, Pomplamoose deserve more love
have you heard the original? As much as I love PMJ covers, and think most of them sound better than their original counterparts, this one doesn't come close to ELO. Sorry, no thrills.
@@softwarepole What do you take me for? Of course I've heard the original! It's my favourite song. The rumble of the chords, the grit and joy in each sentence, the banging of the fire extinguisher. I've heard it a thousand times but you've got to be kidding yourself if you say this doesn't give you any thrills at all, ;P You can really tell the girl is really singing her heart out and everyone's so cool yet focused. Definitely an interpretation on the original I'll be listening to for a while ^.^
Allison makes for a perfect jazz singer.
The ELO original is the last song I played on my Radio Shack (Technics) turntable with Optimus 1-B RS speakers the last day of summer before my senior year in college. It capped off a summer of transition in which I cut my long hair, shaved a Lasse Viren beard, got contact lenses and became a new young man determined to fulfill my potential as a runner at Luther College. This song's optimism with a touch of sadness was the perfect way to wrap up August and go get it the best I could. A week later I'd fallen in love at first sight with a green-eyed beauty who I met at an RA retreat. I rose from seventh man on the cross country team to second man and helped lead the team to an NCAA D3 second place at nationals. That love affair carried me through 800 miles of training, lasted another year or so and imploded after we tried to keep a long distance relationship going. But the innocence of this song sticks with me to this day, and this version captures an older man's appreciation for an earlier time. Nicely done.
This young lady is an absolute joy, such a voice, makes an old grumpy soldier's heart melt.
Fizzbin25 I can relate to that.
This is my glimpse of heaven.
How many times am I going to sit here and absorb this beautiful performance?
And and old grumpy sailor’s..!
This comment made my heart melt😍
I'd like to see PMJ do a jazz cover of Ocean Man by Ween
James EE YES
Agreed
YES!!! I'm imagining a really 60s surf guitar cover
100%
That would be quite lovely, yes. It'd be something entirely new to hear, so I support this idea!
She reminds me of Venus from Botticelli. She has such mellow presence and lovely voice 10/10 would listen over and over again
My goodness she is captivating - that voice, her movements, the inflections she uses... Everyone on instruments did great but she is truly breathtaking and really made this rendition something special 👍 wonderfully done!!!!
The last scene song "the end of quarantine" from the movie 'Covid 19'. Directed by Hideo Kojima.
I love this 😭😂
ah yes, critically acclaimed movie director, hideo kojima
petition to gather people and go to different music videos and describe scenes from the movie and being like "god this song just fit so well"
Dont be ridiculous!
Covid-19 is a mobile task force!
Bruh I'm actually making a post apocalyptic movie with this as the end song lmao
You just can't help but smile at this song no matter the style. It's just one of those feel-good songs.
Micheal Badtke 💯
Right? Despite its sad meaning its just such a happy song
I can. This is a travesty.
@@ChrisPage68 Y do u troll to hate on it?
Wonderful! Everything about this is sooo good. Allison is lovely!
I've always loved this song, but this version has a sensuality the original didn't. Made all the more by the amazingly talented and lovely Allison Young
The fact that they did this during a sunset made this so much better.
I had the same thought.
By the edges on the hair of the musicians, it looks like a green screen.
Should have done it during sunrise
Obv. a greenscreen
@@jaskamattila4481 I see shadows behind the musician on the right. Either superb greenscreen editing or it was real.
If this isn’t played during the end credits of 2020, I’m not watching it
There won't be an end credits, we'll all be dead by then
@@friedlemons5201 All the AI domestic assistents are going to gather and watch it
@@friedlemons5201 speak for yourself. 🖕
For sure it must be
@@willdwyer6782 woah... offended much?
She hit that one out of the park.
While I am a bit ashamed to say that I was only able to find out about this masterpiece through a ZhongChi fanfic, I would gladly play this on loop in order to make up for the lost time that I could've spent listening to this 🤸♀️🧡
Haha! Glad I’m not the only one.
Lol same I just finish reading the new chapter and came straight here
lmfaoooo same hat
HAHHAA ME TOO 😭😭😭 Tea’s impact is crazy
WHY DO I KNOW EXACTLY WHICH ONE YOURE TALKING ABOUT LMAOOOO
There is something special about this song.
The original never fails to bring me joy. Even when i'm sad it makes me hop around the room like a giddy idiot.
This cover is so calming, it's great to just soak it in and enjoy the beauty. Would be great to get back to normal when stressed.
Impressive how you changed the song to have the excact oposite effect on me without making it unrecognisable.
This song is considdered(spelling) the best song to cheer people up. Scientificly (again spelling)
And they are so damn right I Always crank up the volume when this song comes on the radio :)
Took the words right out of my mouth. I completely agree
I listened to the original song near daily for several months when I was 19 and my father on was hospice and was zero surprised when I found out recently that it was scientifically proven to have the most cheering up effect on study participants. This rendition somehow perfectly captures the melancholia I remember of walking around a college campus as a freshman blasting this in headphones and watching people around me form some of their happiest memories while my life slowly and painfully drastically changed.
Thank you for capturing what I also feel soooooo accurately.
for this, dance the Rumba,
Marvelous work Allison, Scott and everyone. I love it!
What a guy. :')
A man of great taste, as per usual mr. Turner
Hell yea my man out here
Love your work too
What is this, a crossover episode?
Alison is for sure one of your top 3 vocalists of all time, please have her on again soon! 🙏
Not by any stretch of the imagination. But I enjoyed it. Let's just keep it real, shall we?
@@MartinMaat your top 3 vocalists on this show doesn't have to be the same as mine, does it. She is still in the top 3 for me since I wrote that comment a year ago. That's real.
That last note, landing on the 9th, most certainly gave me chills.
It fits so perfectly
Thank you 🙌
@@postmodernjukebox
You guys are always fantastic
No, it doesn't. It was peppy, happy, fun, engaging, dynamic, and rockin' before. Now it's boring, morose, depressing, and lacking in strength.
Yuck.
@@lukeventers4755 It didn't bore me. Allison's interpretation gave me an increased respect for the quality of the lyrics, in fact. But if you prefer peppy and bouncy interpretations, you might like Voice Play's a cappella version.
this song's always had an undercurrent of melancholy to me and this gorgeous cover really brings that to the front
Perfect days end, the sun sets, but we always remember the warmth. And maybe that's what makes perfect days so perfect, they don't go on forever.
I think about this dress every waking moment ... its absolutely stunning
Allison, you took this melody to a whole new level. Borrowing from the original, adding new inversions, new runs. I wonder how much of this was rehearsed versus improvised. It sounds absolutely divine!
So, I'm a child of the 70's. I grew up listening to ELO, Mr. Blue Sky one of my favorites. I clicked into this sure that I knew what the song was all about. Apparently I was wrong. I listened to about two minutes, had to click over to ELO singing to be sure it was the same song, then clicked back to listen to it all, then again and again. Wow, what a musical and visual feast. Postmodern makes a great song come across new and fresh.
Actually, I've seen a few other Postmodern Jukebox covers, and I'd say this one is the best at rethinking the source material. It's SO different from ELO's version, and I think better. The others sound a lot like - though not the same as - their originals. This one just ... it's awesome, and yes, so much of it is due to the band, the setting, the performers, and the arrangement, but without Allison Young it just wouldn't work. She's amazing.
Agree completely!
This is a devastatingly good reinterpretation.
I've been listening to it every day for few months, it's just too good
WHO the HELL would DISLIKE this?!
I asked myself the same
She did actually move too much around the mic. It's an hypercardio patern. With this mic Neumann kms 105 you have to stay right in front the head. I can here big issues because she is moving no stop. When she is in front she is too close so I can hear plosives.
@@18CC not really a reason to dislike
@@18CC no its cuz i saw a black in the background
Satan, that's who
Allison you have a beautiful voice and so much talent.
I love the ELO version. Hearing this, however, I’ve just heard a new song... and ‘heard’ the lyrics for the first time. Wow!
just went to ELO's performance. Allison took this away from them. her interpretation nailed it.
PMJ turned in it's usual bravura performance.
Ya when PMJ nails their reinterpretation you get a classic like this. Sometimes you get something much less. This is one of the best they've ever done.
@@tric5122
I couldn't agree more. This is a fantastic interpretation of a very good song. Such talent!
Same happened to me!
I know right!!!? It's so beautiful and I didn't know it could get better!
I see ELO I automatically hit the like button.
You weren't afraid it'd be butchered???
I love me some PMJ but for as high as some of the highs have been with their some of their re-interpretations, there's been some pretty low lows too.
I hope to god they never touch Smells Like Teen Spirit. That song is cursed; no one can even make a passable cover of the song let alone reimagine it in some way.
This however I must admit I quite like. I would certainly categorize it as one of their better works. I wouldn't say it's at the level of Creep, or Thriller, but it's very good.
Any day is a good day for ELO
Wow! Talk about making a song one's own! Jeff Lynne would be (and likely IS!) very pleased with this fantastic performance. Absolutely stunning work and, as I'm an ELO fan, lots of fun to listen to. ❤🎶👍🏼
Why is the TH-cam Algorithm only Now presenting this lovely Angel for my viewing pleasure? Charming! Beautiful voice! Mr. Blue Sky! I'm a BIG Fan of ELO and this is an INCREDIBLE Cover! Excuse me for being 2 years late...Blame it on RIO...
What an absolutely captivating performance. The genius of Jeff Lynne coupled with this amazing and alluring singer is almost too much.
Nice to see you on this one, Mr! You have taste Sir. What springs to mind regarding this performance is: th-cam.com/video/vrQzGNNvFIE/w-d-xo.html
I confess that I broke into tears watching her. Absolutely perfection!
So true.
@@davidhageman2337 Glad I'm not the only one.
what a way to kick off the 20's Part 2
#BringBackThe20s
#BringBackThe20s
Twenties 2: oh for god's sake boogaloo
Well... arguably could be 20’s part 21 - if 0020, 0120, etc count...
Or even 20’s part 120, but the first 60 parts or so are much the same?
This is such a weird time, only can say. 20's 2,electric boogaloo
I met her on TH-cam “Yesterday “ this morning @4:22 I have ❤listened to all her tunes …next week I’ll buy some of her records.
Wow, this is a electrifying Version (without the Electric Light Orchestra) of a genious song!
But with another super accompaniment, very well arranged!
Perfect sung!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Allison Young is a force of nature, a dryad, a demi-goddess of a chanteuse.
...and sometimes a bit like Kate Bush with a twist. Allison is indeed very very good.
@@stevesobot5372 Yup. She is great!
Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. 🤠
What an adjective!!!
I'm happy to see Allison made it to the Jukebox! Adore her since i found her in a duet with Josh Turner.
Great arrangement and playing.
Yeah that's where I first saw her! They did ,was it crazy? Anyway I started looking her stuff up. She is amazingly talented and beautiful in the bargain! My favorite flavor too. Love me a little redhead!
Tom cline you went from complimentary to creepy REALLY fast there bro.
@@chriscobble48 dude! I just re-read that! I meant to say "golly what a talented young lady. I wonder if she'd sing at my Church's next ice cream social?"
I know
I just have a weakness for redheads,since I was a child. Meant absolutely nothing bad! I really enjoy this girl's music. She just happens to be a beautiful redhead.
I was scouring the comments PRAYING someone else knew her from Josh Turner too.
Oh my life! This is such an amazing interpretation. The final verse brought tears.
Beautiful performance by miss Young. Great.
never underestimate pmj's ability to completely change the contextual feeling of a song. well done.
The feel of the song reminds me of "Why does it always rain on me" by Travis now
Ok, somebody’s gotta say it: that dress with side-slit kills!
Truly wonderful !!!!
Murder one - fully intentional - though one might say it's not the wrap that kills.
I used to say she was adorable but wow, she is straight up gorgeous!
ELO’s song is one of the most happy upbeat songs. I’m trying to find any happiness in this version.
"Living Thing" "Telephone Line", "Midnight Blue" and a dozen others of E.L.O.'s are better than "Mr. Blue Sky," in my opinion. It's good, but overrated.
her voice, her smile, her wrinkled nose.
the world can be beautiful sometimes.
The part where she sings 'Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to go away for so long. Where did we go wrong?' reminds me of a post-apocalyptic era where a nuclear fallout covered the earth's atmosphere in dense clouds and the sky was no longer visible and people can only glimpse it very rarely. And when they ask 'Where did we go wrong?' Its rhetorical and satirical at the same time, as if they were begging for forgiveness for what they've done.
Agreed! The melancholy of this song, and that line, is wonderful. "Where did we go wrong?" feels so fitting today.....
How would that remind you of something...unless you’re a time traveller from the future!! Oh boy where did we go wrong?!
was it the koreans or americans?
Man I can’t wait for a new Fallout game with this as a theme song
Reminds me of the west coast fires that filled the air with smoke across many states. The sky was gray, and red and orange the closer you were to the fires, for many days. It's still gray outside where I'm at now.
Just goes to prove that a well written song can be performed in almost any genre. Very well performed.
@MusicMadMaurice I see what you mean. Very good version.
Слушаю в 1000й раз,и, не могу отрваться. ЭЛИСОН !!!!!
It's like the lyrics want this to be how they're portrayed. The way the performance matches them is stunning, and it makes me cry. The end may come sooner than anyone thinks, but at least we've had blue skies along the way.
i been fallowing Allison for a around a year now. always thinking: "i don't understand why PMJ not doing a video with her she is the perfect singer for them!"
happy to see i was correct.
hope this will get enough views for them to invite her again :)
Another AL fan checking in! glad to see she's getting more exposure.
She have a good voice
Please keep this going she needs more subs!!!!
@Wil Sain Ah a good shoulder shaking chuckle was had and well deserved for such a clever comment
You would have been a huge movie star in the forties, but glad you here now for us. You are such a joy.
Her voice is more suited for 60s/70s pop styling.
WOW... she has a voice. AND the timing they did with sunset. EPIC
Oh what a voice! I think I'm in love.
ELO is one of my favorite bands, and Mr. Blue Sky is a great song. Your version is quite outstanding, great job to everyone involved!!
I could listen to that voice til the end of time and she is so freakin beautiful. Like a marble statue with hair made of wildfire. Please, please, please keep bringing her back.
Nice description :)
Agree completely. I think Allison is the best female singer anywhere today. A hidden jewel.
One of the greatest 'feel good' songs 🎵 ever written! ❤ (Jeff Lynne, a genius), Allison is just lovely!
Such a depressing feel for the happiest song ever written. This is such an amazing version
Liked her smile during the fade to black at the end, when she knows she dropped the biggest bomb of 2020 with this performance. Awesome.
Damn honestly, she's so beautiful.
Stunning, true beauty indeed.
I also think she is beautiful too. But I think it is not only the physical features that makes her beautiful but also her womanly attitude makes her beautiful
godenn it's like she's stepped out of an art nouveau painting
Her voice is so New Orleans, jazz. Thank You!
When a song has enough substance to be reinterpreted at this level you know Jeff Lynne wrote a great one. Scott Bradlee's arrangement is superb. It could be the first act closing number in a Broadway musical. For me, the setting and attire for the performers lends a comfortable formality to a shared moment celebrating the return of blue skies after a long period of rain. The instrumental performances are excellent and create a structure, texture, and space so lush that a singer of Allison Young's talent can take us on a walk through its verdant landscape as a fond companion and guide. Truly a great performance. Thank you.
She is genuinely amazing...she has a stellar voice, presentation and stage presence. God bless her with continued success and good health. She is what we have been waiting for...someone with talent, personality and class.
To be totally honest, I wasn't going to click on this until I saw Allison Young in the title. She's easily my favorite singer.
Good lord, thank you all for this.
There are like 10 moments in this song that made me look up and around because I was not expecting it to be that good
She’s looks like the character from the movie Brave
Merda... Ms. "AH TURNT MAH MAH EN TAH A BAH"
Yeah, she sings when she's not running on horseback, shooting arrows with the wind in her hair
Exactly.
bloobeeblah *Merida
She sounds like magnolia from skyrim with guns 4
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey hey
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue (sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around see what you do (blue)
Everybody smiles at you
Two years later, still fantastic in every way. Listen to this every day.
this song qualifies for the great american songbook, with this version. didnt even know that!
Why on Earth are you not wildly famous? You are such a gift!
This is a perfect, PERFECT arrangement, I think at this point I've listened to it 100 times. Honors the original but the arrangement has its own unique voice by slowing down and giving that content quiet feeling to it... so good! Like a walk in city park on a sunny October afternoon. More please!
I haven't listened to it 100 times, but probably could. It's as close to perfect-perfect plus as anything could be. It's got a clear crystalline blue sky quality with totally disarming allure thrown in. Quite over the top. Beautiful hair, dress ... so attractively warm. This is, indeed, one of the all time Best of Performances ever.
I must be around 20-25 listens, by now. Allison (and the PMJ!) is pretty mazing. Keeps me coming back, that’s for sure.
The vocalization was wonderful, best I've heard on this channel. The arrangement was... useful for highlighting the vocals. Fairly basic musicianship backing the exquisite vocal talent of Ms. Young.
this is so good I not knowing the original decided to remain this way
This was a very difficult song, harder than anything Streisand for example ever sang. She not only nailed it but embellished it, making it all seem easy. If she will be the main attraction, I'll definitely buy tickets to Postmodern's show in my area.
Harder than Don't Rain on my Parade? I mean... maybe but idk.
A 1970s song transported back to the 1940s, performed in the 2020s
This is a gorgeous song and a talented singer, but no, Streisand has done plenty of performances more difficult than this.
@@acelibrarian Lol. Yep. I love Allison but the Streisand songbook is filled with numerous classic and extremely challenging songs.
We heard her do this in Troy just two nights ago. Lots of wonderful songs but this was my favorite. Great show!
I absolutely love it when a cover breathes new life into a song. This is an excellent example.
I’ve been hooked on Allison since her first recording (Crazy) with Josh. She never disappoints.
I couldn’t have asked for better. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and you did it great justice!! I love it
So happy you enjoyed it :)
For great justice!
One of my all-time favorite songs, and you just took it to a beautiful, different place.
So there I was, riding a bicycle rikscha through the city in vienna, because i like to do that sometimes, on the first warm and sunny evening after weeks of, excuse me, shit weather, and this song comes up on "my mix" - 5 perfect minutes, before meeting with the guys for the first beer together after (felt) several centurys of lockdown. Bliss.
This version makes me feel free and magical. Feelings I only have once in a blue moon. It made me cry.
Allison's beauty is exceeded only by the quality of her voice. She's the whole package.
this cover should come with a warning for sufferers of major depressive disorder.
It blasts you with so much positivity and happiness you might feel like you don't belong on the same planet as the artist and band.
great job, I'll listen to it again when I feel better, thanks for sharing this
Oh come on, running the blinds down as the last notes die; who's the genius who decided to end a perfect song with such a perfect ending?
This. We need more of this. More classic songs being covered.
I know right! PMJ please do the Carpenters!
More? Are you kidding? There's a whole *genre* of people doing just that nowadays, from Nouvelle Vague to the Mike Flowers Pops to Señor Coconut to The Replicants to Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and beyond! They're all here on TH-cam as well...
@@polka_1366 Have you heard Sonic Youth doing "Superstar"? Dig it: th-cam.com/video/Y21VecIIdBI/w-d-xo.html
It feels like rainy Friday evening with a cup of hot tea
It is a most beautiful song! I didn't know this song before. All is important and actually now.
Mr. Blue Sky is a symbol of peace of all the world. I want to see Mr. Blue Sky every day. Thank you.
I gotta admit. Everything here is perfect. I have no clue how they even thought about the sunset in the background
