Well she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind That's running wild Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams And-a fairly tales That's all she ever thinks about Riding with the wind When I'm sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles She gives to me free "It's alright", she says It's alright Take anything you want from me (Take anything) Anything Fly on, little wing

[@tylerlynch2849]

This is actually absurdly good. Ridiculously clean for an acoustic

Finally, a good performer that records live takes. So many covers are people miming over something mixed to death in Pro Tools. This is the real deal.

Yup. It's called talent...real, live, honest-to-God talent.

[@davorgolik7873]

good is not appropriate word in this context... maybe god, awesome, or something like that

[@prelutive]

listen to jess greenburg version, she also did it live and did it well

[@johanrojassoderman5590]

I would argue that all music is mixed. Technically even the choice of location, instrument and microphone is mixing since they all affect the sound in different ways. For example, the body/material of an acoustic guitar or recording outdoors vs in a church. In no way is that related to the quality of the performance. Mixing is, at its base, just a tool to enhance listener experience mainly by making the layers of the song easier to distinguish. As a disclaimer, I just read "mixed to death" and went on a rant. No offense meant. I agree with the general essence of your statement :)

[@akylehamm]

After listening, you’ll never convince me that this song is not meant to be played on a Martin guitar. What a beautiful tone for that song. Awesome job, man.

[@KO8E89]

if i remember correctly, this song has 7 chord changes which is already complicated enough. but the mix with blues and jazz and the various techniques (sliding, pick placement, bends, vibrato using the neck). oh and yea, you have to have a good voice and sing over all that

[@NightFFA]

A beautiful chord progression, very straight forward but there’s such an appeal to the many ways it can be played, this acoustic version highly praised it was clean

[@MMM18092]

What's so amazing is that despite it's complexity, it's a very catchy and accessible song. I heard it for the first time in the 90s as a teenager and instantly loved it.
