This is so beautiful. Takes a song I spent rocking out to in the 90s as an angry teen to mellow it out to something I can just sigh through in my 40s. It feels like it has aged and mellowed with me. Thank you for that feeling. I love humming it to myself again.
True sis. I remember coming home from school and turning on MTV ( back when they played videos) in hopes of this coming on. My brothers use to make fun of me for listening to "white music" but every time this would come on, here they come, listening. They listen to all types of music now. I think mostly because of Sound Garden 😉
Tearing up. 35 year old man. When my wife and I renew our vows, we're waltzing to this song and I'll have an elegant top hat, with my wife in a Victorian dress. Amazing talent from this young woman!
yes, best covers are when they take on a new personality. Not just mimic the original (Johny Cash - hurt) Check out this amazing Black Sabbath cover: th-cam.com/video/zfaOf70M4xs/w-d-xo.html
I almost didn't click on this bc I'm just tired of others tarnishing the beauty Chris brought this world. I'm so glad I chose to listen. This is hands down the most beautiful homage to his work I've ever heard. Kudos to this amazingly talented woman. Her voice is musical light. I'm hooked. ❤️
I’ve loved that song since I was a kid... as she sang, I kept hearing the notes in my head. Up octaves here, back down the scales there... but this!!! She took me new, wonderful, awesome, beautiful directions I had never considered! Talented lady!
More people need to be listening to her! Her album Anchors & Elephants is amazing! Tell your friends and make sure they tell their friends about Jennah Bell!
At the age of 61 I've heard a lot of music over the decades, and have tried to compile a top-ten list of my favorite songs--a very hard thing to do, since there are so many great ones. I've found that it's the songs that dig deep into my soul that have made the list (which still isn't complete). "Black Hole Sun" is one of those, and it made the list a long time ago. I just listened to the Soundgarden original, and then switched over to this one--and was totally blown away. And yes, it made me weep...
I am in tears. Not only is this a beautiful acoustic approach to this song but every bit as powerful as the original Soundgarden recording. Your are an amazing vocalist.
Bravo! I've heard countless covers of this song. But...this one rises above all for me. The guitar, the vocals and piano coerce to achieve a sound that truly honors the feelings the song gave me when I first heard it over 20 years ago. Bravo...much respect. I'm sure Chris would be proud!!
Those vocals are absolutely haunting, incredibly powerful. I'm feeling conflicted because I like the energy of the original so much, but this cover is composed of such fantastic talent. I guess it may not be my jam, but by God, I have to give Miss Jennah Bell every ounce of respect I can.
THIS IS SO PRETTY !!! GOOD JOB -SHE SINGS EVERY LYRIC LIKE SHE KNOWS IT - WITHOUT HOLLERING , SHE UNDERSTANDS THE SUBTLE SADNESS IN CHRIS CORNELLS ART - AND INTERPRETS IT BEAUTIFULLY
@@marcmurray2702 Yeah. I get what you're saying man. It's that feeling of like, "y'know, I bet I could play this just as well." Buuuuut, I'm sure this isn't the extent of their ability, and with this being a bit of a tribute, I get that they chose to make the instruments a back burner presence.
Also, the way the piano plays the background vocal melody where Chris usually yells "blackhole sun", and they change the texture of the instruments. I can dig it.
It’s amazing to be in the future. Remembering as a kid how mindblowing this song and video was when it came out, then to see it in this amazing version 26 years later. Something very SciFi about it all, especially consider the context of our times.
What a bunch of beautifully talented people. She's a gorgeous singer, of course. I really like the guitarists style of playing. It manages to be very articulate and ethereal at the same time.
That's how you cover a song. Use what you got, give it your best - but keep the spirit of the song. A most atypical arrangement with a very atypical accompaniment yet it still delivers the same feeling, the same sensation. Very well done and very well performed.
There are SO many things to love about this. Jenna Bell's vocal is flawlessly expressive and on target. I love the surreal picture of her soothing the puppy dog in her lap. And the sound of the guitar and the choices made for piano are all totally in synch with the feel of the performance. Love, love, love!
Umm... Amazingly precise control. PERFECT pitch. Beautiful choices. Effortless, clean, natural sounding skill coupled with a calm, flowing, lighted spirit. One of the best I've ever heard and it's the FIRST I've heard of you. I'll be searching. 🤙
I love how in all the choruses other than the first, she sings a harmony with the implied melody in order to add an extra dimension. A very nice touch.
Perfect tribute to a song with many layers. Her voice and the instrumentals just take the listener on a journey . The cover is excellent because it redefines the song - from an alternative rock to a quiet meditation on loss and longing. Jennah Bell keep singing!! This is just sublime.
Love this song, this version is unbelievable. this song reminds me a lot of my step dad. its been almost 2 years now since he passed away. i miss him. thank you for this.

Haven't really listened much to Soundgarden since his death but this makes me take them out and dust them off once again. Old and lost memories! It's difficult to listen to someone else sing his own creations. She does it well though
I think they all got what the song really meant. Specially the singer, she doesn't over sing any part of the song, it's just perfectly done. I got chills on my spine
Cant't stop listening to this cover of a really great song, But her voice and intonation is so special and powerful in a certain way. It's mystical. The whole vibe of the this 3 gifted artists is a blessing, Just wanna say Thank You!
I'm rarely amazed by covers on youtube, bu this is an amazing rendition of this song. And Jennah, omg, what a voice. Love all the alternate melody lines she gets towards the end... amazing.
Perfectly pitched not overcooked. This woman is a brilliant singer without trying to melt your face..
Hell no.
Lol
Agreed, but i really wanted her to melt my face at the end with a couple full voice “Black Hole Sun!!!”.
I can’t stand overcooked performances. It’s so fake. I’d take this genuine type of singing over that any day

Truth!!!
I find myself singing this song during work, it makes me happy

My goodness! I love the way you put that. 💜💜💜
This is what a real cover is: respectful of the original without trying to imitate it + innovative in arrangement and execution. 10/10
very creative and tone of voice other, woman :)
I agree
We have bananies and arvacardies.
I love this cover!!😍
True!
Not only does she sing like a goddess, she also plays the dog! Just absolutely flawless.
_fretless_ dog
If you listen to the audio really really carefully, you can actually hear the dog making faint noises. I feel every mix should have this.
I feel like crying, this is one of the best interpretations of this song. Rest in peace Chris.
Except that she changes "You" to "They".
Who's Chris?
@@darikai219 Chris is the guy that sang and wrote the song, but was forced to retire the music industry way!!
@fabnsass listen to Haley Reinhart's version
Yes. Haunting.
I love the delicacy and strength of her voice!
Yes, and clarity.
Truly the fear of this not being a solid cover went away as soon as she sang. I would hope she gets featured in something great very soon.
Yes it’s extraordinary
Beautiful ❤️
This cover is liquid gold that makes you shiver
yaass❣
Right?! When the first 2 notes give you chills, you know it's going to be good!
Fr I just shivered lol
This was balanced perfectly, not over-riffed, deliciously pitched and with a mellowy smooth vibrato...
her voice is soft and deep at the same time, it's simply beautiful
Tearing up. 35 year old man. When my wife and I renew our vows, we're waltzing to this song and I'll have an elegant top hat, with my wife in a Victorian dress. Amazing talent from this young woman!
Literally one of the best 90s grunge rock songs and this cover didn't take away from it. Such Brilliance 🥰
🌩️exact!
yes, best covers are when they take on a new personality. Not just mimic the original (Johny Cash - hurt)
Check out this amazing Black Sabbath cover: th-cam.com/video/zfaOf70M4xs/w-d-xo.html
Facts!
That whole album is a classic back to front. Actually this is my least favourite song by them.
I'm not sure I've ever heard a singer with such a flawless, clear sense of pitch. This is absolutely stunning.
Yes you have try the orginal singer 😂😂. In all seriousness tho you're not wrong
Go and listen to dimash, reply once once you have completed your epic adventure 😆
The way she can start at those jazzy notes perfectly without moving up or down to them is crazy. Unmatched
This sounds like something you would hear at the beginning of a James Bond movie. Love it.
Chris Cornell did "You Know My Name" at the beginning of Casino Royale
@@gagslovedotcom You're right. I completely forgot about that.
Or the beginning stages of death
It kinda does????

hauntingly, heartbreakingly, quintessentially beautiful in every, every, single way.
God that voice is hauntingly beautiful. Chris would be proud
I agree! I think Chris would love it!
Lovely
I disagree. I think that he loves it, present tense. Unless you really believe an obvious suspect passing.

the amount of comfort and vocal control is absolutely unreal. every note feels so intentional and flawless
This is amazing, not over done and truly stuck to the roots of the original.
R.I.P. Chris Cornell.

Still miss you guys.

Absolutely brilliant thank you for keeping classics alive.
Absolute tragic murders.
Yes
The the calmness of her voice and how she delicately sings the song.

What are the other songs on your list? Curious.
I would also like to know :)
Anche per me.
She sings so well that it wasn't until about a minute in that I realized her ukulele is a dog.
😂
Corny.
I did not notice until I saw this comment
LMAO
HAHAHAHA XD It was after 2min for me. My brightness was down and I was like "wait.. w-what the fuck is that?" Lmao
That guitar tone is so sick
I'm wondering how he makes it sound like that.
To me it just sounds like percussion.
@@RebeccaLynnMusic I wonder if he uses a distortion guitar pedal. Or a chorus guitar pedal? I just can't tell.
Pretty sure it’s modified with a rubber bridge. Popular LA mod for those older, inexpensive mail order flattops (Kay, Silvertone etc.).
SamOwenI not a pedal
Uncredibly good singing and a fantastic arrangement. These people utilize dynamic tension and nuance in ways pop music desperately needs to adopt.
Occurrences
Amen. This rendition is another level above the original version.
Incredible arrangement. I think how quiet everything seems adds to the vibe and atmosphere this song creates.
I am in tears. Not only is this a beautiful acoustic approach to this song but every bit as powerful as the original Soundgarden recording. Your are an amazing vocalist.
Chris’s acoustic rendition is amazing
@@MustObeyTheRules Oh I agree, absolutely! ❤️ it! This young lady, however, has made this her own and is very powerful as well.
Her voice is super gentle and nice. This is refreshing and creative!
First cover Ive heard that does it justice and actually GETS the song.
Bravo! I've heard countless covers of this song. But...this one rises above all for me. The guitar, the vocals and piano coerce to achieve a sound that truly honors the feelings the song gave me when I first heard it over 20 years ago. Bravo...much respect. I'm sure Chris would be proud!!
Breathtaking! That guitar tone is crazy cool too.
Any idea how he gets it?
It kinda reminds me of the tubes that the Blue Man Group plays a bit, it's super weird and awesome.

almost sounds more like the strumming of a cello than a guitar!

YELL MORE PLS YELLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Absolutely agree
why is there a dog? and what's his name? i love him. i love this.
Better question, why don't more music videos have dogs?
The dog makes ver voice more tender.
Wrong question. The correct question is to ask on nearly EVERY OTHER video "Why isn't there a dog?"
How dare you assume the gender of this animal you bigot. I should report you to the department of social justice
@@Freygunnr Really does up the "awww" factor. @AcousticTrench always serenades his dog, Maple, and it's very sweet.
I listen to this every day. No one sings like her, any more. Except her, of course
😆
HALEY REINHART!
😍
Same here. Every day.
@@drommom I honestly hate her version. Love alot of her covers, but not when she tried to change Black Hole Sun.
I didn’t know I needed this until I found it. Thank you.
That voice is incredible, the clarity in the mic is amazing.
It's not often that a cover stands up this well to the original. Fantastic work
I'm sorry, but this woman's voice literally melts me.. got damn.
I feel like i'm a black hole sun every time i hear this song. It hits me like an arrow, i miss Chris "No one sings like you anymore"
Loved that part.. just made me think of all the songs that I love singing that he sang.
Check out "reignwolf-son of a gun"

From a Soundgarden fan perspective, this is a perfect cover!

I like the contrast between the intensity of her singing and her loudness

@@foodisgoodthatsthetruth3231 Nope, that's when you change it up between loud and quiet singing

This girl has more voices than a Yamaha CS-80 and she's even better at using all of them at once.

Very soulful cover. You added a new soul to the song, but in the familiar "off"-sense that Soundgarden did it.
Love the sustain control in the vocals.
This was absolutely beautiful. Soundgarden is one of my favorite bands of all time. Thank you for singing this!
The pup so chill with the best set in the house ❤️
I love this!

What a beautiful voice! Luscious tone and lovely enunciation. Congratulations to all three.

I really like her voice. She sings so effortlessly and I really appreciate how she can make it hers without ripping it up.
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
Neath the black, the sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind, tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
Sometimes, far too long for snakes
In my shoes
Walking sleep
In my youth, I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?

Won't you come

This is so perfect. The subtle instrumentation fits how gorgeous and rich Jennah's voice is. Thank you for making this

This was on some magical shit. This was incredibly beautiful. I love the original but damn it this cover is so damn good.
Sometimes an acoustic cover peels back the layers and let's you see the bones of a song.
This is such a great take!
Always love hearing covers with an original take. Beautiful, emotional vocals and delicate, textural instrumentation. Chills. Great job all.
Her rendition was beautiful and soothing. Sounds like something that would be on a Cowboy Bebop soundtrack.
Just like Evangelion version of fly me to the moon :)
You hit it on the nose.

Yes!
Such a beautiful voice. This is the most hauntingly beautiful cover I have ever listened to. Fantastic!
Came in expecting to hate it, being a fan of the original.........but I love this cover. It's like an alternate universe 😍
It only took her two notes in to make me audibly shout “holy shit”.

like "in my" ?
Nope, totally convinced at "times are gone for honest men"...it got me
