Flora - Firth of Fifth (Genesis Cover)

[@johnnymac6157]

Flora, I have been a Genesis Fan since I was 17. Now I am 61 and you just did something amazing. You would make Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks smile and a tear for good luck. You can do anything, please never stop. We love your version of Firth of Fifth. God Bless

[@cherylmassaro2063]

Johnny you are absolutely dead on! This was beautifully done and I could only wish I had her talent. Flora, you are someone special. Thank you for version!

[@MicheleLaraia-j4m]

Did something else too in the meantime!

[@MicheleLaraia-j4m]

1973 track

[@edilama]

Nicely done!

[@richokeeffe5258]

Flora, I am a special needs teacher ,teaching non verbal autistic children. I just wanted you to know I play your version of Firth of Fifth for them everyday after lunch. They absolutely love it, one student actually sits right next to the speaker. Your talent has reached them ,they are so happy when we put it on, Thank You so much.. From myself and my students Micah,Jacob,David,Jared and Lexan

[@MrSebastianViola]

This is very interesting, Rich. What is it about this track that you think helps your students connect?

[@richokeeffe5258]

I personally think its the classical nature of the song along with Floras voice ,it just seems to capture them...but they love it, I also play some ELO like telephone line and when I was a boy....they enjoy it all....

[@floracavina]

I'm crying! Thank you so much, your words means a lot to me. A special thanks and a huge hug to you, to Micah, Jacob, David, Jared and Lexan ❤

[@joshgellis3292]

Rich, it just so happens I'm comming up on my 5th year into my Elementary Education degree! I like this version too! Genesis's original version kicks, but so does this one too!

[@joshgellis3292]

Flora, I hope where you live gets better, or leave it! The USA is for people moving up! Never should someone who performs like you should live in a squaller of a nation! ...and I usually never say that to anyone for obvious reasons!

[@goodsamaritansnipersociety3240]

It is completely acceptable for a grown man to shed a tear while listening to her perform this amazing song. Thank you Flora.

[@afatchur]

I'm in tears when reading the special need teacher plays this song

[@dancarpluk6861]

I'm shedding tears. So beautifully done. Thank you Flora.

[@SuperChaoticus]

Right there with you. Hearing this played by someone two generations removed both gives me hope, and makes me pine for days gone by.

[@andyseager7597]

I've been listening to Genesis for 40 years now & have seen them live, this is incredible. Words fail me.👏👏👍👍

[@massimopescatori6514]

Brava, brava, brava.... Bellissima versione acustica solo piano e voce di questo assoluto CAPOLAVORO dell'era d'oro dei GENESIS !!!!

[@vellmi]

When I started to listen to Genesis in 1973 I was an alien in my school class.Thanks to you Flora and all the others who keep this music alive.

[@floracavina]

Thanks to you Micheal for you lovely words! ❤

[@marcdevibray8242]

Absolutely well said!

[@lutubo07]

me also, I was an alien, me and few Others. Now the same history for my son... :)

[@pim1234]

Same here !

[@andreasanfratello7547]

Oh my god. I was a lucky man, in my school my friends listen Genesis, Yes, Pink Folyd , King Crimson and more rog band.

[@SuperCartiel]

You are a true musician. Somewhere, Tony Banks, Steve Hackett, Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins are smiling happily. As am I. Outstanding.

[@floracavina]

:) Thank you so much!!!

[@MatthewKSmith-qc5vf]

fookin-A. damn right. i could not have said it better myself. astounding. simply astounding. made me cry. made my week.

[@MatthewKSmith-qc5vf]

l love you. just stumbled on to this and it made me cry. wonderful.

[@MatthewKSmith-qc5vf]

you are such a sweetheart

[@paulinedraper980]

SuperCartiel Marvellous!

[@dirkruppert362]

I am Genesis Fan since over 30 Years. And their music is like Religion. I never heard such a beautiful and perfekt cover of firth of fifth.

[@floracavina]

Thank you so much ❤ Is so great to have the approval from Genesis fan!

[@MicheleLaraia-j4m]

Perfect

[@EixtremeDrummer]

This is one of the very few songs that I can listen over and over again and I still feel the same than in 1976 (my first listening). It's great to watch how young people like this kind of music. Thank you.

[@craighornsby78]

Thank you algorithm. That piano in this song especially the middle element always gives me shivers. Beautiful

[@dougmphilly]

always loved the piano intro on this...good job. always said nobody could better tony banks when it comes chords. its more than just a break between time sig's, tony could come up with these wonderful bridges.

[@Felix-om1gp]

Bravissima Flora, il mio brano preferito dei Genesis. Ottima interpretazione, complimenti sinceri.

[@floracavina]

Ti ringrazio moltissimo Felice!

[@micheleforenza1581]

Ottima performace. Complimenti. #GenesisForever

[@blasregnault1581]

@@floracavina CHAPEAU with FRANKESTEIN. Spectacular performance. Clever understanding of the piano reduction, calling the melodies all together on the keyboard. CHAPEAU! Perhaps the only thing in the song cover that does not fit is Amy Winehouse's vocal style, which, more than an aggiornamento of the song, seems a Frankenstein. Sorry for the criticism.

[@ILoveMagic15]

Fantastic cover and great music taste! I'm glad there are other young people who love the old Genesis as much as I do.

[@andymelrose3927]

ilovemypiano i

[@goodwin2247]

I'm 62, huge fan of Genesis and other progressive rock bands of the 70s, and this is my favorite Genesis tune. Well, I absolutely love this version of yours. You nailed it. I would like to know what does Tony Banks think about what you've done with this masterpiece.

[@ingokempe9204]

Great! Great! Great!

[@GlenOakburn]

I'm an old Genesis fan (almost 60 years old), and an old piano player. I know how difficult this song is to play, yet you make it look so easy, I almost fell in love with you ....! :-)

[@robertl6591]

Same for me, I'm 58. I remember hearing this in '73 and it has been my favourite 'music' by Genesis since (Carpet Crawlers is my favourite song). Never thought I would like anyone else playing this but Flora is amazing. She has the sensitivity of Banks himself.

[@msxwiki]

Not so difficult my friend. A difficult piece is Liszt's Campanella or Chopin Fantasie.

[@waverider6kj32]

... before the second show

[@1990-t1j]

Carpet Crawlers?!

[@RobinLauren]

1990 Know thy Genesis.

[@davidcohen8335]

I am always searching for Genesis on KZbin and was floored when I heard Flora's cover of Firth of Fifth. This was as good as it gets and I will search for Flora now. Just blown away and judging by the other comments, everyone else is too. Thank you.

[@nobs2904]

Thank you Tony Banks for this Masterpiece! Thank you Flora for this incredible cover! Never heard a better one❤️

[@hillshepherd9444]

Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!! This what I listened to when I was 16 years old & still even older than that !!!! "NOT" RAP CRAP !!!! This is what music is. Music ? It has a Melody !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@drphelps9017]

Very many KZbin videos of this song, BUT this seems to me to be the only one with the correct tempo. Great song/great job.

[@worldofameiso5491]

Tony Banks meets Amy Winehouse - a very genuine and polished performance Bravissimo

[@floracavina]

Dear thank you so much :)

[@FukiMakai]

Think about it, Genesis and Amy Winehouse tour, good crossover would be.

[@luigipozzoli410]

World of AMEISO

[@saviodeles]

exactly

[@vanojoh3733]

Spot on, that. I'm not a huge fan of AW, as it goes (apart from a couple of songs) but I'm sure Flora will find her own voice as she goes on. Whatever, it's SO nice to hear that early 70s Genesis vibe being channelled so beautifully by someone who was only a twinkle in her father's eye back then. Well done that girl!

[@richokeeffe5258]

Flora.......this is simply amazing..what a talent you are......

[@floracavina]

Thank you Rich ❤

[@rickylee31010]

Bravo Flora! So heart warming to see and hear a young lady such as yourself, doing a song from Genesis. Well before you were born. Very nice...Cheers!

[@floracavina]

❤ Thank you so much!

[@kiltedbill7594]

I'V BEEN A GENESIS FAN FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING COVERS I HAVE EVER HEARD.

[@HaraldPlontkeMusic]

After 5 years I came across this video again. I also practiced this intro on the piano that time and was very impressed from your version. And I still am. Especially how you sing it not even trying to copy Peter Gabriels timbre but you interpret it in your very unique style making a very individual version out of it.

[@jeancousin6863]

Just wonderful. Had tears in my eyes! Thank you so much!

[@floracavina]

I have tears in my eyes for your comment. Thank you!

[@Richard-26957]

Just found this. As a Genesis fan of 50 years standing, all I can say is Bravo! Well done! Banksy would be proud.

[@bassuko]

Il est agréable d’entendre de ces classiques qui passent à travers le temps sans prendre de ride. Flora, tu représentes fièrement le grand talent de la jeunesse d’aujourd’hui. Un grand merci à toi, jeune fille.

[@nealjones255]

Amazing I loved that Flora I started listening to Genesis form the age of ten back in 1972 !

[@jimprother3054]

Truly magnificent...well done Flora!

[@taonautas1]

Supreme! Wonderful!! Tears in my eyes too..Thank you so much Flora!

[@floracavina]

❤❤ Thank you!

[@raymonhayes1742]

Absolutely brilliant Flora.

[@floracavina]

Thank you so much! :)

[@paulinedraper980]

Flora Flora, you are a beautiful person and a great musician. As a Genesis fanatic i love your cover of this lovely track. GREAT! Try Can Utility and the Coast liners. Sorry if you have already done it!xxxxx

[@drorshr4834]

you r amazing

[@mishaodessit769]

Amazing! Супер!

[@Naflemac]

So good to hear the young generation wants to cover that old prog classic Genesis tune from 1973

[@floracavina]

It's my favorite song of all the time :)

[@lucagiovanetti9176]

oh yes but the album itself is a masterpiece! like all Genesis albums! could you play The Cinema Show?

[@alrobvy]

Flora .its for that U put all your heart inside and its GREAT !AND MOVING!

[@alrobvy]

MayB Flora you should try the lamb lies down on broadway (i mean the opening song).i think it could suit U very well... (i m a french producer from Paris)yours.

[@O-Grady]

I've been a die-hard fan of Genesis for almost a half century now, and simply giving this a thumbs up seems so inadequate. Absolutely enchanting. Superb rendition Flora.

[@edupsi2001]

This is absolutely wonderful, Flora. When we listen your voice and this song, we believe that all is not lost. Greetings from Brasil!

[@victormartial2668]

Mon anglais n'est malheureusement pas à la hauteur pour exprimer ce que j'ai ressenti en vous écoutant. Je suis un fan depuis les débuts de Genesis dans les années 70 et je suis scotché par votre interprètation. Votre touché de clavier n'a rien à envier à Tony Banks. On sent que vous vivez ce morceau avec émotion et sensibilité. Quant à votre voix.... si singulière, si chaude et puissante n'est pas sans me rappeler une très grande artiste qui nous a malheureusement quittés trop tôt, je veux parler de Amy Winhouse. Ure amazing Flora ... never give-up!!

[@jaddison13579]

J’ai pense de Amy aussi.

[@joesophie90]

So, so beautiful. So nice to see and hear someone young perform Genesis. Lovely.

[@floracavina]

Thank you so much! :)

[@binse]

Impresionante interpretación, Felicitaciones. Es Amy canatando firth of fifth. Bravo!!!!

[@wolffreebird3678]

Amazing, wunderbar, excellent, its soooo gooood. I am almost 70 Years old, no, young and in 1977 i was on the “Second Out“ Tour from Genesis, in Cologne Germany and i felt such a Joy in me, i cant explain. But the way you played this, was a real Pleasure for me. Thank you so much. Ouer Lord JESUS bless you. Greetings from Lamspringe Germany. John 3, 16

[@floracavina]

Thank you for your lovely words 💜

[@786itube]

Best cover of this great song - superbly played and sung. Wish we can hear more from this supremely talented young lady

it's a relief to see a young woman take an interest in the things that matter

[@GuglielmoRinaldiniFinance]

Yes agree I am Genesis fan since 1980

[@d-baserox2773]

Truly I imagine Phil Collins, Tony Banks & Mike Rutherford would surely be impressed

[@davefullmer2970]

I have to echo this …. Just lovely!!!!!!

[@Realtorwithrhythm]

That was excellent playing, and it was such a cool surprise once the singing began as well. A great version of a great song. Well done!

[@floracavina]

Thank you so much Kevin!

[@jamiecovfefe6323]

The path is clear Though no eyes can see The course laid down long before And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen Though many times they've seen the way to leave [Verse 2] He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair The scene of death is lying just below [Bridge] The mountain cuts off the town from view Like a cancer growth is removed by skill Let it be revealed A waterfall, his madrigal An inland sea, his symphony [Verse 3] Undinal songs Urge the sailors on 'Til lured by the sirens' cry [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 4] Now as the river dissolves in sea So Neptune has claimed another soul And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen Until the shepherd leads his flock away The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change

[@marcoscamargo7763]

My first LP from the great Genesis, 1975. This entire album is living proof of the musical talent of this fantastic band. It's been 48 years since I fell in love with this haunting song. She still gives me the creeps. Thanks Flora. You hit the target. Congratulations. Directly from Brazil. 👋🏻 🇧🇷✌🏻

[@KentaurTV]

If we have some wonderful young musicians like you are Flora, nothing will get lost. Thanx for posting and greetings from Hamburg!

[@unclebenis7621]

I must admit, this was not one of my favourite prog rock songs (stupid me), but upon hearing this I'm now in love with the original (and your rendition too, of course). Greetings from Russia to one dazzlingly beautiful woman with a good musical taste!

[@markviereck4547]

Very beautiful, one of my favorite songs. Great adaptation.

[@angeloconsoli]

This is a gobsmacking performance of the masterpiece of The Genesis greatly arrenged and beautifully interpreted! I am lost for words! To think that you weren't even born when the Genesis published this song makes me think of the true meaning of immortal music! Bravissima!

[@olander666]

Thank you, FLORA. I'm stunned and blown away. I've loved GENESIS since I first heard Nursery Cryme when I was only 14, many moons ago. I've always felt that FIRTH of FIFTH was the most BEAUTIFUL PIANO composition TONY BANKS ever did with Genesis. You perform it with LOVE and PASSION, FAITHFULLY executing the song with sensitivity and a genuine devotion to the spirit of Genesis. I THANK YOU from the bottom of my Genesis-loving HEART.

[@mobius1111]

Absolutely Beautiful Flora! An awesome rendition of this gorgeous piece of music! Thank you!

[@danieledaroma1446]

Molto emozionante. Bravissima!

[@deviousdoses2012]

To be able to play this song on the piano is mad skills.... To be able to sing at the same time is just talent! Great job!

[@nosuchthing8]

Yeah

[@Divlnorum]

Wonderful - excellent work.

[@floracavina]

Thank you!

[@vlodeklukasz1065]

This is such an incredibly beautiful piece that you only need to perform it correctly to be amazed. I think that Flora played beautifully and intelligently selected the vocals for this music. Great performance, every time I listen to it I experience deep emotions.

[@binse]

Hermosa interpretación!!!! Felicitaciones.... Nunca hubiera imaginado escchar Firth of Ffith por Amy. Muchas Gracias

[@Mmikeyboy1]

Absolutely awesome!, its almost as if that piano was created for you, and your voice!! I enjoyed every second and I'm sure the band will be in awe also with your tribute.

[@thomasmooney6635]

JEFF JONES yeah!

[@goodsamaritansnipersociety3240]

Word.

[@Elgarman]

Excellent. Just one thing in the intro - the bass octave notes at the beginning of bar 24 must be Bb, and not Ab as you played. Otherwise, superb!

[@blackfish590]

WOW I can't tell you how marvelous it is to hear a young talent reaching back to a classic Genesis song, I thought us Genesis old fans would die off without convincing the next generation of the biggest talent not appreciated. thank you Flora

[@luisaugustofagundeswerlang2356]

I am from Brazil. Congratulations. I love Genesis and your performance is just wonderful. Amazing. In my opinion, this song is one of the best of Genesis.

[@stefaneau2112]

Congratulations Flora ! Very talented and good looking young lady ! Please continu to play with you're heart and soul ! People will want to pay expensive tickets to see you play in a near futur ! Good Luck and keep up practicing ! :)

Firth of Fifth is a river in Scotland. Actually it's called Firth of Forth. ???

[@EixtremeDrummer]

The river in Scotland is Firth of Forth

[@Naflemac]

Same here Filip, as this was the beautiful music I grew up with back in early 70s

[@EixtremeDrummer]

The river in Scotland is Firth of Forth. People from Genesis were joking with the title for the song

[@Poil1958]

Merci Belle relecture... J'ai beaucoup aimé. xx

[@floracavina]

Merci beaucoup ❤

I think when Genesis' music & lyrics are just stripped down to one beautiful voice & one *AMAZING* piano the beauty of it all is even clearer!

[@101xaplax101]

bravo....so beautiful...the young are carrying on the legacy of prog!

[@lucamastino5570]

Sono cresciuto con la musica dei Genesis Flora e ti posso dire senza ombra di dubbio che questa è la più bella Cover di Firth of Fifth eseguita al solo pianoforte che ho mai ascoltato. Veramente COMPLIMENTI! Continua così! Mi fa veramente piacere che giovane come sei suoni i Genesis! Pochi ormai sanno cosa sono stati... Grazie Flora! Buona MUSICA.

[@reuvenengberg1930]

Speechless...... I've heard both the Studio and Second's out version, but this is on the next level. A+ on the hand positioning, as well as the emotional vocal performance. Almost like she's Channeling Amy Winehouse as well. God What would she sound like with a Band . Probably goes without saying.. Gods will be Gods. reuven lawrence engberg

[@razielfarid]

Flora, absolutely stunning. I loved it. I love Genesis.

[@chrismallires2110]
