Lyrics:
If you leave me now you'll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please don't go
And if you leave me now you'll take away the very heart of me
No baby please don't go, no I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today
And if you leave me now you'll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please don't go, no baby please don't go
Oh girl, I just got to have your lovin, yeah
No baby please don't go, don't go, don't go
Just like one guy commented, " I can hear the whole band" is exactly right. Amazing talent.
It amazes me that this cover has any dislikes. Anyone who dislikes this video has never ever ever played the guitar before and has no Idea how hard it is to do what shes doing... Shes freaking Amazing
Matt Walterscheid totally agree! I was wondering that as well. Jealous I would have to guess. They must just hate life in general. There really cannot be a way to dislike this. Impossible not to love this!
I guess there just frustrated because they realize they will never ever be nearly as good as Gabriella.
Some folks just like to engage in down-voting just for sport. Nitwits.
steven mckinnon i agree steve. Shes awesome. I want lessons from her ☺️
R S I’ve been playing for 8 years and I can’t do any of the stuff she can do. Most of us that play the guitar can only dream of what she’s doing, so seeing dislikes just puzzles me... I’m sure it doesn’t bother her though she’s amazing
The world is brighter because of you. Thanks for sharing you're talent with the world. ❤❤❤
I love the playing and really looking forward to the smile at the end.❤
I love the way you look up and smile as if to say, "YOU CANT DO THAT" and truth be said I have been playing for around 40 years and you are right "I CAN"T DO THAT"
Wow! You even played the orchestra part on the guitar.... That blows me away. You can make your guitar sing! ❤
That was one of the best interpretations I've ever heard. I could hear every word even though none were sung. that was beautiful and so full of melody.. thank you!!
Merci beaucoup Gabriella. 😢elle est rayonnante, non seulement elle joue la mélodie, mais en plus elle fait l'accompagnement
ｷｭｴﾍﾞﾄﾞ
Oh my god, what a smile…its a gift to her audience.
She needs nothing more than two hands and one guitar... never missing any part of the melody and beat! I listen to all of these! She is beautiful and makes a more than beautiful sound! What an incredible gift, thank you for sharing it!
I have never ever in my 68 yrs heard it played like that before. I still have one of their original albums with that on it. I think they would have played just like that now, if they heard how beautiful Song and ballet they wrote. Gabriella, keep playing all that beautiful music all us “older people” notice how I didn’t say old, have grow to love and listen to all these years, and any way we have the money😂. I love listening to you play. 💕💕😘🇺🇸🇺🇸, please stay safe and healthy in these troubled times. 😷 when out at all times, We’d like to see you when you are 24 still playing our favorite music.
Just, wow. This brings me back to my youth. I am thankful someone so young cares about good music. She is truly a blessing to watch and amazing to me.
How can you not love this lady! Her mastery of the guitar and that occasional little smile to the camera. Completely adorable 🤗
Some people have all the talent, some people like me have none. I gratefully give the talent meant for me to Gabriella as she clearly puts it to good use. Thank you Gabriella for sharing your amazing and beautiful talent to the world. What a refreshing and beautiful young woman you are!
Seeing a young person arrange and play like this gives me hope for the future. If kids today had bands like Chicago and all the other greats of the '70's and '80's that had EMOTIONS other than anger and hate, like modern "music", there would be no riots! Music heals and unifies. GREAT WORK! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!
I wish that were true. 500+ thumbs down say otherwise......it robs some of the exquisite elation I experience listening and watching wonderful Gabrielle.
I don't understand.....
Heals yes, unifies. not so sure. It remains to be seen on that note.
I put my guitar down about 44 years ago. About the time this beautiful ballad tickled our ears. You have inspired me to pick it back up. What beautiful memories. Thank you.
odd you say 44 years,since thats when i started my first band in 1975
@@minstrelofMir back in those good ole days alot of the younger ones formed there own bands. And had a really good time entertaining their friends. Today that desire seems to be lacking. But young ones like Gabriela are truely appreciated by their love of music. Their devotion and extraordinary talent is greatly appreciated. We love listening to your music. And encourage you in all your endeavours
Sin palabras. Magistral ejecucion. Exitos Gabriela.
What a beautiful and talented woman.... I love her performance! congrats!
Love that 8years later... same painting, same couch, same beautiful smile 😊
As a mere doctor of medicine and scientist I am absolutely humbled by your magnificent skills.
Great guitar performance. This one is a song that meant a lot to me.
This put a smile on my face
I agree, absolutely stunning. lots of love
I skipped the song and went to the smile. Yes, I shallow.
Улыбка ваша , сводит с ума ! СПАСИБО за искусство --ГАБРИЭЛЛА !
Gabriella, I think it's cool that you tend to play the older songs from classic rock. You appear to honor the original flow of the songs, without a lot of fill, while adapting it to your arrangement and style. I really enjoy your playing.
Many songs today doesn't have the soul as they had back then
Oh man... it is exactly what I think. Thanks for your comment. I am really happy Gabriella gave it a "heart". Cheers.
some of those transitions and chord progressions are fiendishly difficult, and she plays them flawlessly.
Dennis Parnell perfect comment!
Could not agree more, it is easy to hear the tune she is playing, sounds like two guitars sometimes, she has a remarkable talent.
That's a bloody good rendition... bravo.
I like the way you end it, elegantly.
Another gem. I’ve followed your progress for more than 6 years I have played and heard a lot of music over many years and never heard anything as fresh as your interpretations .Thankyou .
Uplifting and deeply personal arrangement. Your ability to bring fresh and meaningful interpretation to whatever you do, along with your playing skills is ... breathtakingly beautiful. (and hats off to the sound mixing on this one, totally awesome!)
Beautiful harmonization of this Classic Chicago tune, which now can be considered a pop standard and well composed. Why older songs? Simply they where composed by musicians who knew their trade, harmony and melody. A tune that due to it's quality can be translated and arranged to the finger style guitar, great work and my respect, Vic.
Gabriella ,perfect. I have heard this song in Europe in 1979 and have fallen in love with it. You play it perfectly.
I can hear the whole band! Your arrangement is absolutely amazing!
Hermoso tema te felicito eres exitosa
Truly a talent given by the grace of God. Simply beautiful.
This deserves many more views than 1.2 million.
You made me cry…. WOAW!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🥹🎶🎶🎶😘
Peter Cetera - I can hear him singing! One of your best and most difficult masterpieces. Congrats!
One of your best arrangements imo. Extremely intricate!
You are beautiful!
this is one of the most beautiful sounds ever
People are saying talented…I’m more inclined to say gifted. The ability to do what she’s doing is nothing short of amazing, and when she looks up at the camera her eyes show a humbleness that appears genuine ! I’m completely mesmerized !
I'm more impressed by her talent with each different song I see her play. It's inspired me to go out and buy a guitar. I just wish I'd done it at the start of this Covid-19 lockdown.
Gorgeous. Both the song, and the woman playing the guitar.
Absolutely beautiful.
And the song was very pleasant to listen to as well
Your smile at the end was the “cherry” on top.
Thank you for your hard work and amazing guitar playing.
Cheers from Chicago!
Best version. Have heard in m life..
Boas memórias!É bom ver pessoas jovens admirando músicas como essa.
Those killer smiles and looks are what makes this performace perfect!!♥️😊
-un magnifico momento. me recuerda la vida con mis abuelos ...de verdad te agradezco estas notas tan bien interpretadas. Chicago esta entre mis grupos preferidos y tus notas claramente también. Gracias Gabriella
Great playing and cute ears.
Well replicated by an excellent finger style guitarist with lots of open strings that gives justice to the song! Enjoyed it very much as a guitar player myself.
Beautiful rendition of "If You Leave Me Now". I remember that song was popular when I was in high school., it takes me back.
Amazing talent brought to life by that incredible Taylor sound.
The guitarist for Chicago was one of the very best, and you do this song justice, Gabriella. Very, very nice rendition, beautiful arrangement. Thanks for sharing!
After years of trying I can’t even com close to playing like that. lots of hard work and dedication go into the craft
Your a real talented guitarist .....
One of my favs. Nothing like having an incredible eargasm to start my day. You are incredible! I love you!
That definitely is so well done!! So true to the original.
She's beautiful....and plays beautiful. Wowzerz
Very nice. My dad played Trombone with the band Chicago. Cancer got him early...RIP
Cheers from Canada!
Loved Chicago! Appropriate here...."Make Me Smile"
Joe Walsh played trombone and flute when he was in high school. He wanted to sing, so he gave them up and bought a guitar from a Sears & Roebuck catalog.
Your father was James Pankow? I'm so sorry to hear that he passed on. He was an excellent player. My sympathies to you and your family. God bless.
Your Dad Rocked... I thank him and God Bless
Beautiful girl, beautiful music. A highly talented young lady
@Chris Cross...as in Christopher Cross? Love to hear her play “Sailing”.
@@chillbite539 yes!!! I second that!
@@devinfallen8860 Thanks Devin!
Thanks Gabriella, I hope you're being safe during this. I know Sweden hasn't shut down but please practice social distancing and wash your hands! Love from Canada! 🍁
Amazing 🎸👍😎
Isn't that the coolest look and sound ever, wrapped up in the word beautiful?
I had a feeling that this song was meant for Gabriella to play. That her talents would mesh perfectly with this song. They did. That was fantastic Gabriella.
As a competent guitar player what this lovely young lady is doing here is highly skilled.
And she is as beautiful as her guitar playing. ❤️
este est der manferd man , oh niatatyae,yes lido_fer und of course mum un dadde
Absolutely amazing thank you for the beautiful memories my mum’s passed away but this gave me a lovely beautiful memory which I will cherish for ever god bless you 🙏🏻💕❤️
I've been playing for 20 years, have heard many amazing musicians over the years, and am always blown away with what you accomplish in all of your arrangements. I wonder if Tommy Emmanuel also gets excited to see the notification when you upload, I imagine he's very proud of what you bring to the instrument. Keep up the amazing work!
I feel like I just got a big musical hug! Your my acustic romance! Lol. Those bar chords your playing look like a deep reach. Love your heart warming smile! Thanks for taking the time to do this for everybody!
Whether the song is to your liking or not, you gotta give a thumbs up on the playing. So great 🙂
Wow.. I grew with Chicago. She’s amazing.
Me agrada que una chica joven le guste estos exitos de antaño...cuando se hacia musica de verdad que siempre dejaba un mensaje del buen arte.....Te felicito que ademas de ser muy guapa lo hagas tan bien y con mucho gusto musical....un saludo de un viejo musico de los 60/s.......
Very beautiful song Gabi.
I have just realised that on this channel is probably the most honest, sensible, wise and kind male community,I have seen in a while. To be honest when I first found out about Gabi, I clicked on it for 2 reasons , I play guitar and my wife is a piano teacher. I like music and especially girls playing an instrument, explains my marriage hehe. Anyways I saw the picture, a girl with a guitar, click :P
After listening to the song I was hmmm nice,not bad at all played another and another, realising it's not the song ,it's the person playing,but even more than that. Is how through a TH-cam video she can sent and express so much. Kindness, calmness, peace, beauty...all those things you usually feel them in a room when someone is playing live,(obviously depending on the type of music ) but on a TH-cam video it's very difficult to bridge that gap. But Gabi here she is doing that very well. It's impressive.
PS: any woman opinions here ? :p
Same here. Agree.
Damn, what a talent, this song has always been one of my favorites.. nailed it Gabriella!
Love it...grew up with this band...started to tear up
Excelente interpretación gaby felicitaciones. Magno dominio de la guitarra, son una sola
Really enjoyed this Gabriella, full of life and a great interpretation of the original. Made my afternoon seeing this. Lockdown isn't fun but necessary and this makes life more bearable. Glad to see you posting again, I was genuinely worried something had happened to you. Take care from Greater London!
This is better than the original. The song has just as much meaning, even without the vocals. Thank you so much!
Beautiful thank you so much. Please play it again. I’d bet your timing would be flawless.
Восхитительно, как всегда!
I dont know what to fall in love with her playing or her magic
Simplesmente incrível!
Wow...the talent, the eyes, the smile. Simply perfect.
Absolutely gorgeous...and the music was ok too...
LOL
*Never clicked a vid so fast in my life. Time to learn this in a week. That's how noob I am compare to this goddess.*
Realmente hermoso una bellísima canción de Peter Cetera en versión fingerstyle 👏👏👏👍
🙋Mi admiración por tu talento desde CD MX.🙋
Gabriella is so perfect!! I just love listening to her play....be still my heart..........
How can anyone dislike this? She was great.
They probably had their speaker on mute
They don't know good music.
Because she is not that good, average at best, you loosers are so thirsty for a female, it's sad.
They're losers
Fallen Devonish feel free to post your version.
Wow, how beautiful - don’t understand how anyone would not appreciate her music. Also so refreshing to see no Tattoos , nose rings, piercing etc.
But people can have lovely and meaningful tattoos? Not every tattoo are awful. (Not a hate reply)
I totally agree! Tattoos ect. would detract from her God given beauty, why mess with perfection.
@@rayray9936 I've never seen anyone with a tattoo that is lovely, most are simply trashy looking, and as far as meaningful, that's well and good, but the comment was about the aesthetics, because knows or cares if it's meaningful when seeing it.
Okay boomers.....
@@timmyd24601 hahaha exactly. My first thought was, yeah these are not guys are under 45
I am practicing fingerstyle guitar because of you! Love you!
This girl was so talented!! Amazing 🤩
BEAUTIFUL!!! The people who dislike obviously know nothing about music playing a guitar.
We are in the end times and the haters are haters of good and God
Ni de música, ni de guitarra, ni de la vida
... obviously they're insecure
@@marksc1929 obviously, they're rich!!!
@@marksc1929 oops, sorry wrong reply.
Wow, there are 443 people who don’t appreciate an outstanding performance.
id let them go as people
Blame on her.
Too pretty and too talented.
To much for a sensible males ;)
Same for every video on youtube. Some people actually go listen to No woman no cry or Bohemian rhapsody, then go like "no, ain't so good". Makes you wonder
That’s coz they’re still trying to learn Wonderwall
Agreed. So talented. I hope she goes far. Better than anything I’ve heard on radio these days.
Габриэлла, твоя музыка прекрасна также как и твоя улыбка!💘
Точно. Всегда она улыбается красиво после красивой музыки.
Beyond beautiful
With that reverb, it sounds like you can almost hear the other parts from the recording. Beautiful arrangement. Toca muy bien senora!
Her beauty and music resonates like a babbling brooke in a tranquil forest.
Как всегда, мега волшебно. И сама такая красивая , а взгляд, этот взгляд в конце видео, это шикарно. Красотка, и мега талант.
Heard this song on the radio on the way to work today. It was one of the songs I had in my head today as I was flipping boards at work, and grading lumber. Then I got listen to Gabriella play it when I got home. Today was a good day.
Absolutely stunning musicianship. And go on, admit it - you smiled back too, didn’t you? (I did!)
Hey! No impath's allowed here. :)
You bet!
"What are you looking for?" - 0:28
"Don't be scared, child" - 2:49
"Thank you" - 3:40
Wearing brown as well, lmao. The mind, what a miracle it is.
Милая девочка, спасибо тебе за твой свет!
Beautiful...and the melody too.
Always a great way to start my day is waking up, throwing on TH-cam, listening to your kickass arrangements and seeing your captivating smile :) Keep the tunes flowing!
От твоей Божественной улыбки, тают даже самые каменные мужские сердца!..🥰🥰😍🤩
1976: I remember back then, strolling around with my girlfriend, enjoying this beauty of tune.
Antonio Romero
1976. Married my girl.
90's! Gabriella, I love you!
