my grandfather passed away this afternoon, and listening to this song hours later has finally brought me some peace. thank you.

[@FearBeyond112]

where ever you are, hope you're doing well tyler

[@Mandeebah]

I pray all is well

[@Pootie_Tang]

I'm 32 now, and I lost my Grandfather around 5 years ago, he was and forever will be the most important person in my life, I miss him so much, so much

[@RyandBurtson]

First found this video 10 years ago. I’ve kept it in my playlist here, but I hardly ever look into my playlists. So when I do, I get a pleasant reminder that this song, especially this rendition of it, exists. I’ve listened to this countless times, and it makes me feel so incredibly calm. It allows me to feel a sadness and maybe even a little bit bitter at the world while also feeling like someone’s allowing me to feel those feelings in the least judgmental and most calming way possible. Hard to convey. I’m just very glad that this is still here for me to listen to. Thank you so incredibly much.

[@zeebradoom4774]

a decade has passed and I've accomplished fuck all

[@JonShade-fy2gm]

This is honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Both my parents died of cancer by the time I was 21 and it’s really hard to listen to very sad music that I love. But with your music it’s so much more bearable because it’s just so incredibly fresh and magical and with a voice so beautiful even the angels envy, it becomes a soothing and healing experience for me. This is sort of a first-time experience for me with music. It’s almost meditative. Thank you for this amazing beauty. 🎼

[@panathas1]

I've had this cover in my head for years. Could never find the video again, here I am at 5:45 in the morning and I finally found it. Beautiful

[@mattmeade983]

How could you forget this??:)

[@JKFlaker]

Check out her Elliot Smith Twilight cover.

[@panathas1]

@@mattmeade983 Someone once showed it to me. I never knew her name or the name of the song.

[@kurtdewittphoto]

Isn't that the greatest feeling? I've ran into that a few times, and I always feel elated.

[@bearcingetorix6326]

"And he takes and he takes and he takes "😢😭

[@klepie3874]

this is something i'm simply going to keep coming back to for the rest of my life.

[@tubetoprocker]

simply amazing. wow. one of the most beautifully sad songs in history.

[@buddhathegod]

tubetoprocker you must not have listened to a lot of songs

[@ggallintedtalk]

Buddha B You have a Paris Hilton song liked .. shut the fuck up .

[@joeydsteez]

This is honestly one of the most beautiful covers of Sufjan Stevens I have ever heard, pure talent.

[@stevenhassall3165]

How to take the most beautiful of songs and make it sound beautiful in a totally different way. I love this. Very talented lady. Thank you for sharing. Brought me a lot of joy listening to you play and sing

[@slightlyunraveled6344]

Just stunning

[@elizabethtetaz4851]

happened upon this video a couple of years ago and i constantly return to it. so beautiful, so haunting

[@zsantschi]

Welp... Now I'm crying at work.

[@franky.378]

All time favorite cover

[@LolaSebastian]

[@JAZ7899]

every time you say "in the morning" or "oh the glory" i get chills

[@unhpsychology3909]

Omg yes!!!

[@rachthegirl]

I can NOT stop listening to this. I think I account for about 100 of those views. Looking forward to your show at the Bug Jar next week!

[@lavecebuchanan6128]

Goldenrod and the 4H stone The things I brought you When I found out you had cancer of the bone Your father cried on the telephone And he drove his car into the navy yard Just to prove that he was sorry In the morning, through the window shade When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade I could see what you were reading All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications you could do without When I kissed you on the mouth Tuesday night at the Bible study We lift our hands and pray over your body But nothing ever happens I remember at Michael's house In the living room when you kissed my neck And I almost touched your blouse In the morning at the top of the stairs When your father found out what we did that night And you told me you were scared All the glory when you ran outside With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied And you told me not to follow you Sunday night when I cleaned the house I find the card where you wrote it out With the pictures of you mother On the floor at the great divide With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied I am crying in the bathroom In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window In the morning in the winter shade On the 1st of March on the holiday I thought I saw you breathing All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications when I see His face In the morning in the window All the glory when he took our place But he took my shoulders and he shook my face And he takes and he takes and he takes

[@cassidyhawk420]

I recognize this video was posted almost 10 years ago, but i just found it so it's new to me. AND WOW and I glad it exists.

[@combinationist]

Her voice is hauntingly beautiful.

[@Ratgon]

Good Lord this is beautiful.

[@PhilipBlank]

I’ve been coming back to this incredible cover for about 8 years. One of my favorite songs and videos ever. Such a beautiful voice!

[@eveisherwood3205]

THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE THING IN THE WORLD!

[@merryweatherhoneyfoot9577]

Eve Isherwood me too

[@lilygoates6920]

COMPLETELY AGREE

[@_CAL__]

i keep coming back to this because it's that good. 10 years ago...beautiful

[@gullipp]

I can't stop watching this video. You are so freaking perfect. I wish I could do at least half of what you did in this video.

[@dwdavis5977]

A very beautiful song. Thank you.

[@totallybasicyoutubechannel]

This is one of the most beautiful covers I can remember hearing

[@thebluntandonly]

I keep coming back to hear this rendition. So good!

[@LewisJD33911]

This song and performance have aged so gracefully.

[@user-ud9xc1hr3g]

My Nana played the harp. She was a Polish immigrant who had to leave everything behind when she was a young girl when her family fled Poland during WW2. She picked up the harp because she said the sound gave her hope and helped her feel closer to Jehovah. She passed away years ago, but every time I hear the harp I'm reminded of the hours I'd spend listening to her play. Those memories are precious to me, thank you for your beautiful playing.

[@RottenRyebread]

Wonderful performance and a lovely compliment to Sufjan Stevens. You are very talented!

[@LittleVersaille]

Probably the 17th straight day in a row I'm listening. Do work Mikaela. Your voice is killer.

[@sophiegilbert2344]

Whole body chills throughout the whole thing not even exaggerating

[@fancysinger]

The tone of your voice is SO CONSTANT from high to low it's actually just perfect. I could listen to you sing anything seriously. And then as if that weren't enough you're playing the harp which just makes it 50 times better. Can you just cover everything. This cover is sublime. THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME

[@paddyblack7525]

Every now and again I come back here to listen and think, and sometimes I come back just to listen

[@AC-hf1qb]

Thank you for this piece. I usually listen to the original by Sufjan Stevens, but this version has reminded me of the beauty of what my sister represented.

[@Jipski]

Who is this heavenly creature... You made me cry! Love from Holland

[@stevenkyle2313]

I've listened to this for two years and I always come back ❤️

[@MrKalabama]

In my entire life of listening to music, I have never heard a voice like yours. You have a special way of singing and it sounds absolutely beautiful. Keep it up and some day you will be on a stage in front of millions if haven't already. :)

[@BinaryShad0]

god damn SHE IS FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE! IVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS! ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SEAMLESS!!! UN. FUCKING. REAL.

[@forbesfoofighters]

JimLahey fuck off Lahey

[@jamiephanekham]

This is such a beautiful cover. I sincerely hope this goes viral.

[@slw59]

My favorite cover of this song by far.

[@mkeyankee9628]

Oh my gosh this is the most beautiful song...the frequencies are amazing!!..big fan!♡♡♡..harp music ♡♡♡ her voice is angelic

[@AdamPacitti]

i'm a big sufjan fan. i searched his name and this came up and i was a bit disappointed that a cover was at the top of the search results. i shouldn't have been, this is lovely. cheers.

[@ReaTank]

Every time i come on here to link this to someone i have to listen to it all the way through. So glad i found this. Perfect.

[@RyandBurtson]

I think I seriously might listen to this to put me to sleep. It's so calming. :-D

[@wonderwall182]

this is like the angels made a cover... perfect and dreamy sounding. i feel like i would die hearing this and be ok

[@freddyclaude8383]

j'adore merci beautifull voice je vais écouter les autres belle reprise merci ;)

[@user-tm5yd3tm6c]

i think this is the cutest thing i've ever seen with my god given eyes

[@rndyblck]

I just enjoyed seeing Makaela in person in Chattanooga and I was wondering if she knew Sufjan, and here she is with the most excellent cover of my favorite Sufjan track. WOW!

[@cplrenesor]

I’ve listened to your cover 1000 times! This is a very special piece of music to me! Thank you wherever you are!!🫠

[@OptimusTrooper]

your voice is insanely good! keep up the amazing work!

[@AntonioKowatsch]

What an awesome rendition of Casimir Pulaski Day.

[@dwdavis5977]

So beautiful. Thanks to all. It's sad and beautiful like life.

[@michaelbills8669]

10 years later, this video is still where I come to cry.

[@daniellebenstein8772]

Was privileged to see her and her great band during their national tour in Asheville, NC Wed.night! Wow! Extremely unique ! Rising star!

[@alexandercamp2898]

I can't ever decide whats most impressive about her videos. Her voice, Her skill on the harp, her insane taste in music, or her being a super babe. Either way.. I'm obsessed.

[@Cogentesque]

Heya Mikaela, I like many others have just come here from bestofyoutube - I think your voice is absolutely beautiful. And your harp playing is very very lovely, I don't think I have heard a harp played with a "walking bass" (?) as you did to match up with Sulfjans lovely song. I really hope you do very very well and am very happy that "the internet buzz" has picked up someone as talented and fantastic as you.

[@wax7550]

Mikaela Davis has the literal voice of an angel.

[@keithlovettlovettsong]

Enjoy the beautiful spring weather. It's on the way. Stay safe. Have a nice time with your friends and family. Make some nice music. 🌅

[@johnbnyc]

The BEST Cover of this Song in the World. My Eyes are leaking every time I hear it. Beautiful, Mikaela!

[@emanonymous]

this video is one of many reasons i devote so much time perusing random music videos on youtube. great job mikaela

[@Beeroney]

Sufjan is a favorite of mine. Don't ever stop what you do, Mikaela. It was a pleasure working with you at The Camel.

[@nicesterhill]

My ears say amen. I love Sufjan Stevens, but this version just blew me away!!!

[@joeldurhamjr6807]

The fact you're from my hometown fills my heart with local pride. You are amazing.

[@Ryanpmulvey]

I've posted this to my FB page and have listened over 20 times in the last 2 hours, played guitar and sang along with you every time and it just makes me happier and happier. I wish you nothing but the best, you are true talent.

[@i1-L22Belarus]

so glad i found your channel

[@RandyNewmanFan]

mattresses in the video are appropriate! because what peaceful calming and comforting music!

[@lucyx3008]

RandyNewmanFan they're mattresses because no pillow will hold the tears this song produces.

[@Hollowsmith]

Wow. Mikaela, as someone who dislikes about 95% of covers and generally see the artistry of the original artist lessened, I must say that his is a rare exception. What a truly beautiful take on this Sufjan song. Good on you!

[@candacewatkins3116]

I hope Sufjan has heard this. I'm sure that he would love it.

[@felicia1714]

I'm driving 3 hrs to see you tonight!! Im praying you do this song for Dia DeMuertos

[@naomijoyturner]

Had me in tears right away. SO beautiful. I would love to sing with you some day!

[@Mmsmickey]

That gave me goosebumps! Awsome from 0:00 till 5:58!

[@bryanhall627]

One of the most beautiful songs. Credit to Sufjan for writing it but you have given it a home. You're version is stunning.

[@MFcitrous]

This is a true gift to us all, everyone. Thank you Sufjian and thank you again Mikaela.

[@dhrichardson5798]

This may be the may be the best song I have heard on You Tube

[@YTRabbitHole]

Celestial!!!

[@elisklar]

I'd be very surprised if this isn't on the radios by spring. I've listened to this song at least half a dozen times in the past 3 days... :)

[@spotsscarf6738]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL OH MY G O D

[@ScottDaviesProto]

This link has been on my very busy favourites bar for a year now, and it wont be budging anytime soon!

[@rodneyjohn6637]

Truly beautiful

[@TheBuramu]

I WANT THIS SONG IN MY HEAD. FOREVER!

[@iiicuuubreathingfullyoohoohooh]

This is one of my favorite Sufjan songs, so it was cool to hear how you arranged it. Those higher harp trills surprised me in a good way. So much sound. My musical friend Michaela McClain needs to hear you. Keep it up.

[@billgate8]

this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard, i picture the most serene and exotic surroundings nature can provide on a summer evening when i hear this song, while making me think only of what makes me happy..

[@wro3650]

Um... something about women covering stevens just makes me incredibly emotional. A great rendition, and now I have to work my way through the other works you have.

[@Jacki6661]

Thank. You. Stumbleupon. This was just beautiful.

[@sharonjames7010]

Just so beautiful, makes me think about my own life and how good it really is. Thankyou.

[@CarolsVideos]

It's weird... I listened to this YEARS ago and your version is the one always stuck in my head. Not the original but yours

[@JURASSIC_JACK1]

Love your music! Was lucky enough to see you with the Staves a few years back in SF

[@jimjam714]

song has been in my head since i heard it

[@bryansiegel9495]

You sure pick great artists and covers. Excellent.

[@ToaPohatuNuva]

I dunno why but listening to this song right now makes me want to cry

[@israel_sanctus7772]

Wonderful 💎😍

[@davidshockey3012]

What a wonderful cover to stumble upon.

[@scottmikle2558]

Simply beautiful, simply beautiful..........

[@deactivated]

elliott and sufjan! wow, these are so perfect it hurts.

[@nicklickacid]

Mikaela! I saw you perform last week with the Staves in Toronto! Your collective cover of Chicago was absolutely beautiful! What a pleasant surprise to come back here today, and to realize that you were the one who introduced me to Sufjan with this video a little over 5 years ago! Such a fan, love your work, please keep it up!

[@dankilgorelyme]

How does this not have 2 million plus?

[@WIIRULESMAN]

This is my favorite video on the internet.

[@davidwb7777]

I can't stop listening.

[@MooseNut12]

Revisiting after a few years, still sounds amazing
