Chamber of Reflection - Mac DeMarco (Live Cover by Your Anxiety Buddy)

[@nick404a2]

Mac's version feels mellow, sad, warm this cover is cold, mysterious, dark which is what I absolutely love about this cover.

[@aurora-l2g]

I love both, this one is so mysterious, and then Mac’s reminds me like of Magic. A magical dimension.

"Este cara está no Borussia Dortmund há mais de 19 anos, no tempo em que atletas dizem torcedores, mas na primeira adversidade deixa a instituição segundo lugar e o dinheiro em primeiro lugar. Marco Reus agiu diferente, e quando se aposentar, talvez não tenha todos os títulos que gostaria, mas terá o respeito e a idolatria, estando eternizado no coração de uma torcida que coloca 80 mil pessoas no estádio por jogo toda temporada, e isso, meu amigo, nenhum dinheiro no mundo compra ou paga." _Marco Reus_ O maior ídolo do Borussia

This cover is the best I’ve ever seen. This voice, the chords on the piano, next to the fact I’m listening to a beautiful voice and piano, I also get inspired to keep going, even how rough life can be. My deepest pain is stunned for a few minutes, and I can accept my faith. This is more than a man singing to a piano. My good memories and bad ones too come up into my mind, and even if its cold here I can build my own illusion, that its warm here in this world. Sad but the real world is cold, but through this piece of art I’m healing in a sort of different way. Music is the only good thing that humanity has invented.

Nothing lasts forever, life is constantly changing. You'll make mistakes but think of them as lessons. 14 is still early, life still has many chapters in store.

I can count three times in my life when I've listened to a song and immediately thought that the person performing it was a genius. The first time was when I first listened to Queen, the second time was when I watched Dimash Kudaibergen, and the last one is you. What makes a musical genius isn't just their vocal ability - it's their ability to understand human emotion and how to evoke it. I'm not very emotional person in general, and I've NEVER cried listening to a piece of music, but 30 seconds in and I had to hold back tears. Everything in this video - the muffled piano, the simple yet stunning visuals, your VOICE, the tone and timbre that you have, the choices that you make, - is a stroke of genius. You have something that every other musician wishes they had, and you have more than enough potential to rise to the top if you keep at it.
