Livgren should be humbled by the tremendous honour bestowed un to him of this incredible dedication and performance.
this sounds better and more articulate/clear than the kansas recording from almost 50 years ago... these cats have their chops down tight!
I don't believe I've ever heard Kansas covered so brilliantly. Amazing vocals and incredible instrumentation. The hallmark of Livgren/Walsh/Steinhardt. Unbelievable.
Kerry Livgren would approve!
Kerry Livgren needs to see this - this is brilliantly done. It added a bit of a celtic flavor to an already great tune.

She sounds very Celtic but dont confuse yourself with the true spirit of these Kansas songs

I Concur❗💜
Yes. May Kerry hear this and be honored. 🎖
Unbelievably stunning performance. As a multi-instrumentalist myself, I can hear the love and appreciation you bring to this song and Kansas as a whole. I wasn't expecting to have my mind blown. It takes a lot to impress me, and you had my attention till the end. I can't believe it took 8 years for me to see this post.
Hey Bernie,
Thank you so much for your kind feedback ☺️
Martin/Mel, as always you guys are in a league of your own. Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication ❤
I can't even begin to describe how awestruck I was while listening and watching this incredible performance. The closest I could come would be to say that I was as captivated, uplifted and inspired as I was the first time I heard Kansas play it themselves many years ago. Yes, I do mean that. I'm searching Facebook, TH-cam and elsewhere now to find more music by you wonderful artists. All the best. You're remarkable and certainly an unexpected miracle out of nowhere.
Same thoughts over here
Not only perfectly played, but it is a perfectly syncronized handcrafted video. Such tslent and skill was put into this production
these kids get it! i love it. gives me hope for the musical future. talented as hell too!
:) Many thanks!
This is one of the best covers of any song I've ever seen. Miracles Out Of Nowhere is a song I hold very close to my heart, and your interpretation and execution of this cover is an incredible achievement. I've watched this video like it's a song in my Spotify library for years. Both of y'all's talent is something you should be extremely proud of. Hope all is well, God bless.
Thank you very much ❤
Kansas was the soundtrack to my childhood, thanks for the memories!
This is nothing short of sensational, it is a Miracle Out of Nowhere.
Thank you very much 😊
Love these two, and also their choice of Kansas songs. They bring in excellent musicians to help when necessary.
😊😊😊 Thank you so much Vin. Great to read, that you like it!
HOLY SHIT!! That is is one of the most intricate Kansas songs to cover especially the fugue bridge. You guys nailed it with precision and lots of invention. Bravo!! It's great to see younger folks appreciate music many of us were fortunate enough to grow up with.
Thank you so much for your words :)
I agree with you, this tune was insanely great!! If they can do "Miracles", surely they can kill "Magnum Opus"!! !!

I used to Cover Quite a few Kansas Songs starting at the age of 16 as well as originals(I'm old Enough to be Your Auntie now😉) And Martin,
You my Brother are Gifted by YAHWEH Himself!!
You are A Young Old Soul
Your Playing is Phenom
& You can Sing too❓
I'm sharing this with some of my Colleagues. I Know it Will Bless them!
@@siciliansistah Thank you so much :) We do our best. If you like our covers, feel free to check out our webpage www.gray-matters.de We have a couple of CDs.
Absolutely phenomenal! Incredible Kanasa cover! Wow! I mean freakin' wow!!!!!!
Thank you Scott 😊
I feel the need to mention that this song is 45 YEARS OLD! These two do an incredible job with this. I love that music like this is STILL getting the respect it deserves.
Thank you very much 😀 We have lots of more here on TH-cam. Also a few Kansas Covers. Feel free to check them out!
Just saw Kansas live last night here on Long Island. They hit it out of the ballpark! But this cover gives me chills and fits of smiles! Great job, guys. Keep it going!
Thank you so much Luo 😀
@@MartinSchnella : Absolutely. God bless you, brother
One doesn't need to be a Kansas fan to appreciate this. That said, I've been a (massive) Kansas fan for 40+ years...and this is BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you so much 😊😊😊
Your cover of this song grabbed me by the heart & had tears streaming down my face. I feel music very deeply as I feel emotionally connected to it.
Wow! Thank you! These are warm words! :) If you are interested in our CDs, just say. We have covers and originals. Just send me an email to martinschnella@gmx.de
Totally unfreaking REAL! I can't believe acoustic rock music could ever be executed so well. I've been a Kansas addict since 1974, and THIS stuff has reignited my love for it. WELL DONE!!
Many many thanks!
Simply SUPERB!
Kansas was/is a great band, and you guys have done this tune justice.
Thank you 😊
I can't believe how cool this is. We're not worthy.
Absolutelly delightful.
Thank you 😊
I'm speechless.......standing ovation to both of you!
Thank you 😊😊
I'm laying here in the hospital and this Kansas cover came up. Best thing that's happened to me in days. Thanks for your amazing musicality!
Hey Victoria!!! Oh really? That's awesome. Thank you so much! I hope you are feeling better soon!! If you are interested, we also have CDs
On a Crystal Morning..........I can see how BRILLIANT this cover is.
Thank you 😀 We have lots more here and TH-cam. Feel free to check them out
I hope that got you into Berklee. Pure genius.
Einfach nur brillant, mindestens so gut wie das Original!
Dankeschön 😀
BTW, I found this vid a while back and return occasionally to listen AND watch. I am a 65 yr old veteran musician and I thought I was good until I saw you two "kids". Kansas always a favorite but I like YOUR version better! Absolutely incredible!
i put it on my playlist, so i hear it often... i agree, sounds clearer and tighter than kansas...? maybe
You two are EFFIN AWESOME!!! And that's coming from an, old, jaded, worn out rocker trying to grow old gracefully. I've played lead guitar in dozens of bands over tha last 40 yrs, hung out with Garcia, etc but YOU GUYS rock so spectacularly, I am absolutely gob-smacked!! Vocals, instruments, arrangement, mix....al of it superb!
Thank you so much ☺️
This is such an incredible rendition of a true masterpiece...Well done Martin
You still bring me to tears. Words fail me.
OMG agree 100 + 10%! Unbelievable guys. Brought tears just listening to one of my favorites from my favorite band. 10,000 Thanks.
Thank you very much Frank ❤️❤️
Female vocals on a Kansas song are phenomenal ! great work guys
Thank you so much ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
Good job preserving the integrity of the original arrangement while adding your own personal touches. Bravo!
David Hancock Thank you 😀
Awesome! I love that you get deep into the catalog of these bands instead of just playing the songs that made them popular. I especially enjoy the fact that these young people have an appreciation for these bands and this music. I think it is safe to say that good music is not dead, and with talented musicians like Meli and Martin in the world I can safely put away my LP's and venture out into the musical world.
Anthony Jacka Thank you so much 😀
Wow, wow, wow. Here I am back commenting again...I don't know how a cover can get any better than this. Superlative in every way. I love the fresh take on the song (one of my all-time favourite Kansas tunes), the innovative instrumentation, how you added extra harmonies here and there so tastefully, the virtuosity of the playing, the clean and free vocals, the recording and mixing, it's all just top notch.
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you Brian
Simply OUTSTANDING!!!!!! WOW!!
Thank you 😊
Pretty awesome guys.....
Miracles Out of Nowhere is one of my all time favorites and this cover was brilliantly done. Thanks for your obvious appreciation of a masterpiece and your talent in the cover of this song.
Thank you so much Larry ❤️
Not sure how this could be any better. I feel like I'm listening to Kansas for the first time and that is an incredible feeling.
Thank you 😊
Not really purely acoustic, but what a wonderful rendition of that genius tune! Livgren would definitely approve. And I do too!!
EXCELLENT! I saw Kansas do this live in Chicago 1976, and it was very close to this. Awesome!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!! ☺️
Beyond Words...Amazing
Thank you :)
I have loved this song since 1979 and just watched Kansas play it live tonight for my fourth concert of theirs. Your cover is the most honorable one I have ever heard. Well done.
I just discovered your Kansas covers tonight and I'm thinking, how did I not know about these? They are just amazing!
OUTSTANDING!
You too did a wonderful job! I always wondered how this song would sound with a woman's voice! SIGNED... The worlds biggest KANSAS FAN!
Thank you 😊
Wow! A+!
Again Thank you 😊😊😊 Feel free to check out our online Shop if you like our covers and originals! www.gray-matters.de
I consider “Miracles Out Of Nowhere” to be the greatest rock song of all time. And your version only adds confirmation to my opinion. Nicely done!

This is one of those Kansas songs (and there are so many of them) that fills my soul with emotion, though this is the only one that brings tears to my eyes. From top to bottom and beginning to end, an amazing work of art.
Thank you so much ☺️

Martin Schnella You bet I will! Keep up the good work!
It seems to me that Melanie & Martin go after the most complex Kansas tunes. Now that they have released Song For America, it seems they are just showing off! Incredible musicianship and talent! Thank you!
Thank you so much my friend! This is one of our first covers we did ☺️
I’m a die hard fan of Kansas and I’m amazed how they captured the essence of the song. Very good indeed. Kerry Livgren should be proud of this
Thank you Andy!! 😀
Martin Schnella you’re welcome
Has Kerry Livgren ever seen this?
Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!
Thank you 😊
This is one of my favorite Kansas tunes. THANK YOU for covering this song so brilliantly! Come to the states! You will kill it here! You ROCK! Love this! You need to cover "THE WALL", by Kansas, now THAT song is amazing!
Thank you so much Tyla 😀❤️❤️❤️
I hope these folks write a prog-rock album of all original songs. I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Covering Kansas is awesome but I'd love to hear some original music from them!!!
Thank you William ! We already did a few Albums with originals. Check out our Flaming Row album "The Pure Shine" and our acoustic Album "The Oblivion Tales" . 😊 www.gray-matters.de

5 years later, and I'm just now hearing this....and I am blown away, What an excellent rendition of one of my favorite Kansas songs (that's not really fair, I have many). I watched The Pinnacle...then this. Nice.
Thank you very much 😊
FANTASTIC! Kansas , awesome band, your cover amazing! Thank you!
I can't believe this is over 5 years old! You are steamrolling with ALL of YOUR Music, and the Covers that Blow your Fans AWAY.
Thank you very much 😊 Feel free to check out our CDs if you like. www.gray-matters.de
1st saw Kansas in 1975. They opened for ZZ Top. Opened with Song for America. Seen them 5 times since. Blew ZZ away. You do a good job
Thank you Mike ☺️
Smoother than Kansas.
I can't believe it's not Kansas anymore.
ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME! UNREAL! WOW!
I just cant for the life of me figure out the multiple time signature changes beginning at 3:30!
That is one of the Best covers of any song I've ever seen. And to play Kansas! Wow. You guys are Fantastic. I can't stop watching this. Truly Amazing. Thanks for recording this.
Thank you very much 😊 We did lots of more Cover. Also a few more Kansas. Feel free to check out our chanel

Amazing! You two are great!
Thank you 😊
Oh my...........such greatness !! Thank you for that goosebump moment.

Awesome rendition !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 😊
This KCMO sista digs the hell outta this !! I really hope you all have stayed in the music scene - you 2 are wayyy the hell to talented to not make it big in the music world !! When Kansas became famous in the mid-70's my twin sis and i would hang w kids in Tonganoxie, Ks (our father's hometown) when my twin and I stayed a cpl summers w our grandparents, and listen to Awesome Kansas and we thought it so cool to be in Kansas as we rocked out to the band Kansas !! My Twin killed herself going on 6 yrs ago now and I have a looked back on those particular good times my twin and i had many many times since !!
Thanks Peggy 😀 Oh yes, we have lots of more Videos and also CDs 😀 Check out our Homepage www.gray-matters.de
I have been a Kansas follower for 38 years. I am a drummer, but love all instruments. This arrangement and production is an absolute tribute to the creative style and drive of Kansas music. I greatly appreciate this video. I hope members of Kansas can view it. I wish i could play guitar like that!!!!
Absolutely superb. As a Kansas fan for well over forty years, I have to say I've not heard anything like this. Miracles Out Of Nowhere is one of my very favorite songs, and your rendition has not only found its way into my ears but into my heart. Simply wonderful.
Thank you so much for your warm words 😊
@@MartinSchnella I have some talented musician friends with whom I've shared your videos. Perhaps I can share some of theirs with you.
Still raining tears every time I play your video. XO.
2:54 - 2:55 Damn smooth transition Martin!
the last few seconds of the dying notes that just whisp into thin air is sublime.
Als alter Kansas-Fan bin ich über Facebook durch die Band Kansas auf dieses Video aufmerksam geworden. Ich bin sehr beeindruckt und ganz begeistert von dieser wunderschönen Musik. Die Cover-Version des alten Kansas-Hits Miracles out of nowhere hat es mir sehr angetan. Meist höre ich die letzten 2 Wochen das Stück mehrmals täglich. Mir gefällt es besser als das Original. Martin Schnella und seiner Partnerin Melli Mau wünsche ich alles, alles Gute und freue mich auf weitere Musik von euch.
Amazing, such talent :-)
💕🤸bravi ragazzi quanti ricordi 👍
Thank you ☺️
I love that version. Nice collection of instruments used too! Some very premium guitars.
Thank you 😊
Incredible talent and execution. This cover has the spirit of the original, but they also made it their own, instead of copying.
I have no clue why this song isn't a universally known classic piece of music. It's one of all time favorite songs.
Wow ! Best cover of that great song@
Thank you 😊
Fantastic! Excellent! WOnderful choirs! ⭐🌟
Thank you so much ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
That is absolutely super, super fantastic.
