I Know It's Over - The Smiths/Jeff Buckley Cover

Our live, one-take version of a great song called "I Know It's Over", originally by the Smiths but inspired by Jeff Buckley's cover version from the "You and I" album just released in March.

In my opinion no one can ever top the smiths, but this is incredible.

[@chavezchris36]

Buckley did imo

[@filippozamp]

Do you ever heard jeff Buckley's cover? I think it's better

[@francopersano9475]

like they said buckley version murders smiths one, but that's becouse jeff buckley is actually impossible to cover himself

[@ishthefish9006]

@@filippozamp nah

[@ishthefish9006]

@@filippozamp morissey has a unique baritone voice that cant be duplicated. He is better for this song its a crime to say buckley was better i like his cover alot too but nope morissey is the best

[@dbp-wv1hs]

As a diehard Smiths fan you've done this masterpiece justice, can't give a greater complement than that. Now I'm off to find where those onions have came from.

[@stefgeerts7431]

Amazing voice! The whole song was delightful but especially the way "more than she loves you" was delivered was just.. Wow! Gave me goosebumps & brought tears to my eyes. Love the bands she covers & love her!

[@HayleyRichman]

Thanks for the support!

[@dankek34]

Out of all your incredible tunes, originals or covers, this is the one that touches me the most. So beautifully expressive, combined with dad's wonderful playing and tone. Thank you so much for this, albeit five years after the fact. Miss you xXx

[@DmitryNikitenko]

Blew me away with that ŋ sound in the end. And how the song builds up, it's amazing.

[@modernandclassicscooterser2681]

Your vocals bring the same tears as Morrissey's and Jeff Buckley's , wonderful cover you do this song justice.

[@IanCrouse]

Why am I just finding this? I have no words for my admiration for this cover. Seriously, nothing can express my connection.

[@ShadowAttic]

Just wow, the deeper meaning of the song is totally projected through your delicate voice.........great stuff.

[@MultiCappie]

Three years on, still listening. I hope you're doing well, whatever it is you're doing, and I'm forever a grateful fan for what you've already shared.

[@NoelleHorn]

this song is the one song that just makes my eyes automatically start to water

[@nicolefafutis1965]

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh well. Enough said. I know it's over - still I cling I don't know where else I can go Oh ... Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head See, the sea wants to take me The knife wants to slit me Do you think you can help me ? Sad veiled bride, please be happy Handsome groom, give her room Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly (Though she needs you More than she loves you) And I know it's over - still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over and over and over and over Over and over, la ... I know it's over And it never really began But in my heart it was so real And you even spoke to me, and said : If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight ? And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight ? If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight ? If you're so very good-looking Why do you sleep alone tonight ? I know ... 'Cause tonight is just like any other night That's why you're on your own tonight With your triumphs and your charms While they're in each other's arms... It's so easy to laugh It's so easy to hate It takes strength to be gentle and kind Over, over, over, over It's so easy to laugh It's so easy to hate It takes guts to be gentle and kind Over, over Love is Natural and Real But not for you, my love Not tonight, my love Love is Natural and Real But not for such as you and I, my love Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

It's sad, painful and ....so beautiful!

Finally a smiths tune! Great cover Hayley you've done it perfectly

[@IIGrudge]

Whoever is doing your arrangements has amazing talent!

[@rubyclaveria89]

Please sing Asleep of The Smiths!!!!!!!!!

[@josephcarvalho6599]

I can Sing?

[@ChelseaZic]

fucking beautiful as always. would love more smiths covers, and of course more originals!

[@HayleyRichman]

more originals hopefully on the way soon :) thank you love xx

[@jenniferg226]

Still my favorite cover all these years later

[@yho6982]

I love your voice. It's beautiful.

[@retrofuk4724]

got the same taste in music and you are my favorite singer on youtube!

[@ninjamagang]

Amazing.. that touched my soul's chords.

Beautiful performance as always. I love listening to your voice.

[@murilomapas]

I just cried...that's really amazing. Wonderful!

[@HayleyRichman]

💗

[@dmo8895]

This is probably the most beautiful version of this song i hav e ever heard

[@jacksapsford2368]

Such an incredible and unique voice! Your passion for your work is so beautiful to see. It's inspiring to see someone working so hard and with so much heart.

[@HayleyRichman]

+Jack Sapsford really appreciate the support :)

[@apollomoon1]

I feel as if I might overdo it by commenting to often, but how can I not compliment your talent? It seems as though artists like you come along so rarely. The last I can think of like you is Jewel. Simple honest presentations, with a wonderfully unique vocal ability. At last! One of my favorite Smith's tunes and done beautifully. Such a soulful rendition. Please don't go on any of those stupid talent shows to showcase your talent. I hope if you just keep at it like this you will get the recognition you deserve.

[@HayleyRichman]

+Dave S you are so sweet. that means a lot, thank you x

[@apollomoon1]

+Hayley Richman By the way, it is so fun to play along with some of your vids! I now have a fabulous vocalist at my fingertips!

[@arthur14ribeiro]

I miss your covers

[@timetocallitaday]

I play this song alot on my KZbin. I'm so drawn to it.. Foremost... Vocally.. 2nd.. Lyrically. Just wonderful ❤️❤️

[@mghalichi]

This song is so underrated. Great rendition.

[@khaoimonk7110]

You're so talented, wish we saw more from you

[@adrianner.2440]

Perfection. The crescendo at the end made me cry. Ty so much for posting this!

[@anthonyobrien6336]

One of my favourite songs by my favourite band. So beautiful.

[@AnywaySo]

Nailed it! The balance is perfect, and these lines are perfect for Hayleys voice. :) Guitar also sounds amazing. Just the right amount of reverb, and a really soothing tone! Great work again guys :) I'll throw in a wish at the end, but I totally understand you have ALOT of requests.. The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio

[@HayleyRichman]

+AnywaySo i really appreciate it!!

[@tiagogardino]

I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real 😥

[@jerabrites2980]

i follow u since i was thirteen, know im sixteen. I just wanna say that i always love ur voice, u always make covers of songs that i really love but with this... i dont know how to explain it but your voice sounds like an angel in this song

[@HayleyRichman]

+Jera Brites thank you love!! x

[@ataysgrt2448]

So you are 19 now?

[@leahcar]

Say I had never heard M sing it or even JB, I would be stunned at this, but I have, so I can only say this is a brave and beautiful cover and this is one of the loveliest female voices I've come across. Wonderful.

[@clintbrannan9510]

Fantastic.Amazing.You made this your own.I just saw Morrissey 5 months ago.You have the passion he once had.

[@rael1999]

What an amazing cover...Love The Smiths, my favourite band growing up in Manchester in the 1980's, and this is indeed a great tribute to their writing skills ! Thanks so much for posting and good luck with your singing career !

[@HayleyRichman]

I appreciate that loads! Thank you!

[@rael1999]

You're very welcome Hayley !

[@lovepath777]

I am in complete awe over how good this is.

[@Simonious_Monk]

In my opinion, Hayley improves on every song she covers. Love this version

[@anthonyobrien6336]

I never want it to stop. Well done, brilliant version.

[@whiterabbitcanada]

[@Posterizashin]

"It takes guts to be gentle and kind"

[@OliverGomes]

Havin' Goosebumps & Beautiful, Heavenly !!!!

[@superhunk1989]

Your voice has the most wonderful sound I have heard.

[@PSF1]

Some songs just fit with the singer. This one fits you like a glove. I highly encourage you to do more Smiths/Morrissey. Please consider Seasick, Yet Still Docked.

[@DONTFORGET120498]

This gave me chills the whole way through. Absolutely stunning. 🖤

[@El-ri5cr]

oh my gosh, your voice is so graceful&beautiful

[@davidaguilarr]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful voice!!

[@gpaof2boys475]

Quality is never an accident. On the other hand, quality is not what you and your Dad put into these videos, it is what we, who listen and watch, get out of it.

[@fuzzmonkey0101]

Wow, I usually hate whenever I hear someone cover a song I heard Jeff Buckley perform but you truly did it justice. Beautifully done.

[@HayleyRichman]

+Larry Worthey that means a lot to me, thank you..

[@yzark666]

I miss your music Hayley but is good to see your art in tattoo form, greetings from Mexico.

Wonderful, thank you and well done.

[@dmo8895]

The way she sings 'over' Is much more beautiful than the original.

[@davidonze]

Wow!!! It's been a while since I heard your great covers. And there I come again, and your voice grew up, for the best! It's still the voice I remember from your first covers, but there's definitly something deeper now. You used to have a great voice, you now have a great artist voice!

[@HayleyRichman]

+David Tessier very glad to hear it.. I've got videos from when I was 14 that are still on my channel - they're cringe-worthy for me to hear, but I keep them up for people to see the development. thank you x
