This totally exceeded my expectations, her voice and singing awesome, backing vox awesome, instruments and production awesome. 10/10

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you very much!!! :)

[@Agnieszka_Fort_Magnolia]

10/10, I agree. One of the most fantastic voices I've heard.

[@warriorxxwarrior]

Her voice!

[@guilhermedaluz5110]

Please don't stop making music. The world needs artists like you.

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you! We will always be busy making music 😊

[@ricardoss348]

This singer ... is AMAZING!! I LOVE HER!

[@Darren_Tay]

This is probably the best cover of the song

[@MartinSchnella]

🤗🤗🤗

[@Aquivoy]

Oh god, and after several years I find jewels like this

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you!! :)

[@Drekon009]

Probably the best cover of this song 🤘👍

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you 😊

[@pcost]

Not probably, it *IS* then period.

[@ahbmal]

I concur. After listening to the original song which itself has a flavor of it's own, and turning it into something sweet and melodic, I'd have to say, I concur to the above statement. Exceptional!!!

[@aleksandrawestenra3776]

Awesome !!!!!!!

[@bmm9095]

Cannot believe I am just finding this……took my breath away. I live in the acoustic world and this is awesome. The fusion of voices and instruments was spot on.

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you very much :) We have a lot more :)

[@cabbageguy6243]

2000s symphonic metal - awesome. Acoustic folk music - awesome This - also awesome

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you 😀

[@rkellymiller]

9/8/2021, and I'm hearing this for the first time. It's beautiful! Thank you for this!

Thank you 😊 😊 😊

This is definetely the best acoustic cover

[@paulajackson2678]

Everything they cover is the best ever.....

[@arijitdey2978]

I love it...

[@SpeakingFirefly]

Melanie’s voice is gorgeous! What a talent! 👏

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you so much :)

[@rockyblacksmith]

Now THIS is how you use very little to VERY great effect. I didn't expect two guitars, bass, cahon and three voices to achieve this feeling of depth to a piece of music. It feels far bigger than the sum of it's parts. Amazing work by everyone involved.

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you very much! Feel free to check out our other Acoustic Covers! 😊

[@spiritofshadows1554]

Her voice is incredible

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you so much 😊

[@CarletonWatkins1861]

Wow! I need to spend more time looking at some of your older videos. This is amazing!!!!

[@dgmz7379]

This performance impressed me more than the original. Perfect balance of voices and background music. Here, in addition to high-quality sound, there is also a soul. Respect from Moscow.

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you very much 😊😊😊

[@XendayaRougeWolf]

Very impressive. Not many people could have done this song so much justice in the acoustic version like you chose to do. Aweesome, keep it up.

[@der_rasierte_gandalfvon_ho2999]

Auch nach Vier Jahren immer noch der Hammer

[@MartinSchnella]

Danke 😀 Hast du unsere anderen Cover gesehen? Haben noch jede Menge aus dem Genre!

the voice is amazing, so beautifull version

[@kellettthomas9176]

I come back to this over and over. Spectacular! I do like the original. But stylistically, this makes the lyrics fly! “Caress the one, the hiding Amaranth, in a land of the daybreak.”

[@isgalis]

This is like... the best cover I've heard of this song!! I love it very much, thank you guys :D You did an excellent job!

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you 😊

[@user-jp1lo8xs3n]

Amazing musicians!

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you ☺️

[@harriswho]

She's got an amazing voice that cuts through the mix so strong, all female bands would love to have her as their lead singer.

[@MartinSchnella]

Thank you Harris 😊
