"I Am The Walrus" - A One-Woman Beatles Cover With Homemade Instruments!

[@fathommusicnz]

What song would you like me to cover next year?

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. THE ANIMALS

[@AvanToor]

Yellow Submarine, of course!

[@alanclayton9277]

life on mars (sorry david, you ain't got a hope in hell's chance now!)

[@jimstewart8122]

Now I've established that you have some regard for The Darkness and you're crying acting is very good, how about a cover of The Darkness' Nobody Can See Me Cry? The cheapest music video I've ever seen but it puts a huge smile on my face every time. Dan Hawkins crying would be very hard to beat, but I'd love to see you try.

[@alanclayton9277]

you know my name. you wouldn't dare.

[@DavidBennettPiano]

Love it!!

[@fathommusicnz]

Thanks very much (and likewise!)

[@BaldursGate-h8j]

Damn David Bennett in the wild

[@mozartsbaby]

No one should underestimate the amount of work, understanding, and ability this must have taken. As a lifetime lover of all things 'late' Beatles, I salute you! 🎉

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

It's almost like she is the Mozart of this stuff. Fathom is sort of the Leonardo Da Vinci of Beatles videos. The Michelangelo of Beatles performance art.

[@gregblue8113]

This is what living your best life looks like!

[@abigaildevoe]

petition for nancy’s egg ballet to make at LEAST one more appearance

[@WatchVidsMakeLists]

Whenever people add visuals to this song, I'm always nervous to see how they handle "dripping from a dead dog's eye." Thank you for your mercy 😭

[@frankfrank7921]

That was the only weak spot. Most all the imagery was literally portrayed but that one. Apparently she acquiesced to the squeamish.

[@Interrobang2626]

As a lifelong Beatles fan I have to say that this is f-ing great.

[@MysterSer333]

Lucy in the sky was epic

[@fredhamilton1701]

Well SOMEBODY just won the internet!

[@tcro58]

Eggscellent!

[@Myshcan]

I'm eggstatic!

[@kd72183]

The vision! The storyboarding! The editing!!

[@JohnMcDermott-t6l]

I know, it is superfantabulous

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

Love this comment.

[@umimigrantebrasileiroemlon6137]

The best video of the year. Well done.

[@stonefree67]

That was really fun. You shine and make December a little less dark. Thank you for sharing.

[@billymorris8819]

I’ve watched it at least four times. Still haven’t absorbed all of the Beatles bits and Easter eggs. The animation is very reminiscent like magical mystery tour, and Terry Gilliam of Monty Python style. I wish I could watch it in slow motion to pick up on all the imagery. Love your deep dives into the music documentaries, narration, humor, and style. You truly are a Beatles fan. Thank you for sharing with other fans.

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

Billy - You can watch it in slow motion. There is a little wheel gear like icon - right next to the "CC" button - at the bottom of the video screen. Click on that - and you can select the playback speed of the video.

[@Martin-iom]

Brilliant - well worth all that glue, string, dancing, playing, learning, singing, recording, editing and 3D creativity! Thanks for a lovely pre Christmas present! Another addition to your handmade Beatles album - inspired by and beautifully capturing the spirit of the music!

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

Super comment

[@braudabo]

I knew it all the time. Fathom was the walrus. That's the proof! 😃😃

[@quackman]

If you play some of Fathom's videos backwards, you'll hear "goo-goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob"

[@koelschpop]

Listen to "Glass Onion": Well, here's another clue for you all: The walrus was Paul ;-)

[@braudabo]

@@koelschpop Well, in "God" Lennon sings: "I waaaaaas the walrus" 🙃

[@hendrikvanderkeur4677]

Big compliments. Also checked yr music on spotify. Yr music is now part of my libary.

[@quackman]

did not realize Fathom was on Spotify, thanks!

[@JohnNiemsMusic]

WOW! NO WORDS! BRAVO!!!!!

[@faolanliath6687]

This may very well be the best cover I've heard. 😎👍

[@jimpollock8303]

Fab Fab Fab Fab !!!!

[@fuccasound3897]

completely in the spirit of the original. Very entertaining.

[@dhulbert855]

BRAVO! That Was Incredible! You Are Amazing! I second Mozartsbaby's opinion "As a lifetime lover of all things 'late' Beatles, I salute you!"

[@dhulbert855]

As a postscript, I haven't enjoyed any choreography so much since Louis Cole's I'm tight! That might be insulting to the creativity of this woman, but I mean it in the best way!

[@kenjarrell4123]

Goo goo good job! 👍👍

[@kristofftaylovoski60]

You broke the internet... well done...

[@mokamo23]

this fabulous. it is the only cover i've ever heard that did the chorus, correctly, by including the original "Weeeh..." just before the "woooo." ("I am the eggman--weeeeh-WOOOOH...") Your attentiveness to those little things that the Beatles (and George Martin) did that take their music next level.

[@theemraldwolf5874]

I hope you see this cause I just want to tell you I absolutely fucking LOVE the Dadaism in this. It’s my favourite art style and you captured it so well, fits great with the song too. Your work seems really amazing and I really hope you do more of what you love and more amazing art like this

[@fathommusicnz]

Thank you kindly!

[@timsopinion]

This is one of those songs where the details MATTER. And well, you nailed all of it. You also infused the song with a personal charm all your own, while managing to preserve what makes it the incredible song it is. I'm in awe, truly. So much great work put into this - would love to see more!

[@stratfanstl]

I would love to see a two-part follow-up to this... 1) behind the scenes for the audio, with a tour of all the instruments, the recording environment and the gear. 2) behind the scenes on the video creation and editing. Technology has made a lot of these effects easier to do than in the past and more affordable for mere mortals but it hasn't eliminated the HUNDREDS of choices that have to be made. That was a metric crap-ton of labor.

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

Great idea. Behind the scenes video... on the making of Nancy's video.

[@paulcrosby46]

Wowee!

[@Ronald-sg4ym]

Very creative design 😊and imagination 😊

[@WaterShowsProd]

Even Little Nicola would have to admit that you are indeed The Walrus. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@jimstewart8122]

Erm...let me think. What superlative hasn't been been used yet? First class!! Truly, top-notch.

[@robbie8118]

Brilliant!! Lennon would be proud!!

[@garykatz775]

Thank you! So creative, fun and hilarious! Great job!

[@jayorag]

Lovely and unexpected tribute to Lucy Lawless! Fantastic cover, congratulations!

[@oliveryoung5332]

Amazing! The amount of time it must have taken to make outfits for all the Nancys 😲

[@johnsilva9139]

This is the best thing I've seen and heard since the Beatles. Can't imagine all the work that went into this, and the amazing finished product. Can't wait for more. Guess I'll have to wait till next Christmas.

[@fathommusicnz]

kzbin.info/aero/PLxvWXlhtRxVOlqzn0c2AeLIUR67Xw2op6&si=MBBBvFphTjoJ9Ea4 Here as some from the last few years, while you wait. 🫡

[@duncanmacphee200]

This is a wonderful cover. Your inventiveness and resourcefulness is absolutely top-notch - something that Lennon would most undoubtedly approve of.

[@ConradSpoke]

BEST. COVER. EVER.

[@nolarobert]

Bloody brilliant it is! I think John would have loved it.

[@Anarchouettisme]

Exceptional, marvellous, incredible, the power, the imagination, the creativity, what a talent you possess!!

[@FromtheQuarries]

Excellent. So much work and talent - congratulations!

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

Great! Better than most covers because most guitarists I know ( guilty as charged) can’t play a bowed instrument if their life depended on it.

[@BumblebeeElectron]

Thank you algorithm! This is a talent-drenched delight!

[@Monetize_This]

You seriously captured the spirit of the song! Well done!

[@KneeAches]

And she left out, unless I missed it, the dead dog. Thanks for that. Fun, fun, fun!

[@catnameddog8776]

Fathom is a creative genius I think now .

[@shayhorvath2795]

I admire the dedication with all the different outfits

[@glennsmith7311]

Dr Winston O'Boogie would have been so pleased and proud, this is brilliant thank you. You did something really interesting with the visual representation of the lyrics: you showed how prescient he was. In 1967 he had a sense of what was coming in terms of technology and mass communication, the strange world we now live in would have made complete sense to him. It's like you've unpicked what was going on in his head. Again brilliant stuff thank you.

[@kfiralfiavideo]

Love it! This song is in my favorite top five Lennon-penned Beatles songs. You nailed it.

[@MrTwixraider]

What did I just saw? That was phenomenal, just awesome!!!!!. Great job. I bet the Beatles would also love it.

[@Brunoburningbright]

You do an Elementary Penguin proud.

[@temp-sec]

Wow! This might just be your best ever cover

[@egoneberz4865]

This ist a Christmas Geschenk....the 3 Time i here it....and....a good present ...like it...

[@ingraban98]

Brilliant! Ganz grosses Kino, vielen Dank!

[@fathommusicnz]

Danke! 🎶

[@pablolara797]

Incredible! Beautiful! 👏

[@jpgringo9864]

Bravo!! I wish I could give it a thousand likes! No one thought in 1967 that this would be happening nearly 60 years later!

[@skubic35761]

Lucy (Lawless) in the Sky--Nice!

[@brucefindlay]

Fabulous and highly entertaining. Talented, musical and funny...I love it. ❤

[@fredkrissman6527]

What a great tribute to John just after the anni of his untimely death. We love u Nancy!

[@ModernConversations]

I was smiling through this whole thing. Almost crying.

[@PeterGoetz-o5v]

Bloody brilliant !!!!@

[@naoh4000]

Lots of visual and musical details to marvel at throughout the whole video

[@stlmopoet]

This was wonderful! Your fanatical love for the Beatles shines through all of it!

[@white.lodge.dale.cooper]

You are a damned treasure. Love and thanks from Chicago. :)

[@corenliussulla8677]

Pure Art!

[@pezi873]

Can‘t find any superlative for that! Simply great 👍

[@koelschpop]

Simply great! It was big fun watching it, and it is musically brillant.

[@mikecaetano]

Nice! Nice walrus dance too. The Walrus sure is light on its feet!😄

[@TravlingNow]

Heck yes! This is fantastic! Honestly, this is the most endearing piece of art I've seen in a long time. Brava!

[@seldonsinq]

I think Lucy in the sky was my favorite!

[@4dultw1thj0b]

"Xena can fly?" "I'm not Xena, I'm Lucy Lawless." I saw what you did there 😉 Seriously though, incredible production.

[@quackman]

WOW, you really went all out on this! fun to watch+listen w so much pop art, IRL costumes & makeup....

[@quackman]

PS thx for not wasting the cornflakes!

[@Watchman70]

I think this was Eggsquisite! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 You have my subscription.

[@bobair2]

I knew it was a Beatles cover and at one point it I thought would be I Am The Walrus but the "Sun" kinda of made me think otherwise, but you as I do know there is no such thing as a bad Beatles song! Nancy your cover is so much fun!

[@timothymchugh1926]

Best Beatles cover since the Breeders "Happiness is a Warm Gun." Great video, too. Love your puckish creativity! :D

[@MilesTippett]

Love your bass playing on this!

[@elliotvermette]

Take a bow, I loved that and can hardly wait to see next years performance.👏👏👋

[@billdowney1487]

You did a great job with this -------------------- in many ways. Creative & unabashed. Kudo's to you.

[@jasperchance3382]

Wonderful as expected! You are quite magic.

[@dustystarr2297]

This was a pretty big undertaking with the video and all, excellent job!

[@pethel12345]

Great! Superbly entertaining. You are super talented. Thanks!

[@jornspirit]

...woohoo - sooo creative... LOVE IT, Ms Fathom

[@tomsvideosoup]

Wow. Massive props, kudos and sundry other expressions of awe and admiration. Gibraltar has nothing on you, girl. You rock.

[@buttercup1765]

Just fantastic!!

[@TheodoreWeiser]

Loved it. Well done

[@johnangelopoulos2000]

Great job! Major respect for choosing a song most wouldn't even attempt. Keep going Fathom! 👏🤜

[@NoamFatmen]

[@francovani393]

Best cover so far

[@chrisspurgin6988]

Wow, great work!

[@fineasfogg1461]

Holy smokes, this is wonderful! What a fine video this is ❤❤❤❤

[@zedxxx9]

A most excellent version. It really sounds good and your video is so clever and engaging! Wins top position in my collection of cover songs for each album.

This was excellent! I immediately SUBSCRIBED!

[@EV-cv5ym]

Excellent!!

[@danielferguson6811]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@biffin62]

Now what's I call multi-talented! I don't even have one of the talents needed to perform and edit this. Incredible.

[@MitchHighfill]

Totally & Even Moreso STUNNING!!

[@ComicPower]

I feel like I just took acid. Awesome

[@Myshcan]

A 5 hit performance!

[@HarvestStore]
