Ramble On by Led Zeppelin (Cover by Kawehi)

This one's for you, Mark C. up in MI!
Yes, this was crazy fun to do. I had a moment in the beginning when I was wondering how the hell I was going to pull this off and which direction to take it, but once I figured it out...we now have lift off! No other way to explain it. So what was the "aha!" moment? Nintendo sounds.
I was born in the 80's, and although I never owned a Nintendo (because my parents were all like, "Go play outside in the beautiful paradise that is Hawai'i" or "go expand your mind with a great book". Silly parents.) that didn't stop me from barging in on friends houses to haphazardly kick some Street Fighter and Mario Bro's ass (there was no method to my madness - just a chaotic bashing of buttons that surprisingly always ended up in landed sonic booms and flag jumps). So maybe it's no surprise that I'm kinda obsessed with the 8bit.
Sometimes when songs are so classically it's own and the definition of it's era, it's hard to re-imagine it without totally committing to a whole other light. But I thought it'd be cool to bring two different generations together into one song - where we all can sing along and dance and have a kickass time.
Isn't that what music's all about, yo?
Hearts and shit,
Kawehi

I think this performance, raises two significant points, at the same time. 1. Her talent and imagination in this re-interpretation and 2. The strength of the original song.

[@Kado_Tornado]

Absolutely on the second point. If this came out today and the original song and recording never existed, this would be a massive hit and instant classic.

[@Mexicanadiense79]

In the darkest depths of Mordor, my man

[@markgerrard383]

As a lifelong Zep fan I didn't expect to like this... I was wrong very wrong - you're an artist girl.. Love it 👍

[@grayaj23]

IKR? After watching her cover of NIN's Closer, which is objectively fantastic and amazing, I came across this thinking "OK this isn't going to work." I hear the intro sequence and think "Pffft obvi she doesn't "get" this song" And (just like with Closer) I wind up listening to it on repeat for bout an hour, still trying to find a reason not to like it. Spolier alert: It didn't happen.

[@commandercaptain4664]

I feel like a little kid seeing her do this, then going over and hitting a bunch of random keys thinking I'm on her same level.

[@StevenMichaelCunningham]

She IS. 🏄

[@pandorasullivan777]

I was a huge Zeppelin fan, had every album, and saw them in concert in the mid 70’s. This cover makes me so happy! Well done!

[@MichaelDeLawter]

This right here is why I love your covers. You take a song like Ramble On and totally make it your own! Love it!

[@LiveLoopers]

Yes. Exactly +Michael DeLawter

[@Ravenlok28]

so right ! love to hear her update something! Always love it!

[@FROSTYLIFE]

+Michael DeLawter perfectly stated, right?

[@mikecarter8880]

+Michael DeLawter Good point, I normally hate covers. Kawehi isn't even my preferred type of music, she not only nails covers, but she is extremely talented. I got my ticket for San Diego, can't wait.

[@LorenzoNW]

Yeah, I'd much rather listen to a unique personal interpretation than a second-rate copy.

[@darinpeters8873]

Screw all of the haters out there. I like hearing a fresh take on songs. How many original songs are REALLY out there? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Take your blinders off critics and learn to appreciate someone else's interpretation. Great job Kawehi!

[@atreyuscurse80]

I love hearing covers.Its awesome to hear artists take on songs they cover.Most of the time I like covers better than the original.

[@mokfproductions3972]

I just keep imagining what a collaboration between you Tash Sultana and Rachel Collier (UK) would sound like. I think my brain would explode with pleasure!!!!😆😆😆💓💓💓

[@Themadfranklin]

Trust me, this ain’t easy. Only the good ones make it look that way...she’s good!

[@michaelvanness4074]

I'm in love with this performance! Such talent! Addictive...

[@brucelivingston2220]

This is amazing, 80's synth Zeppelin? Yes, please.

[@nemseck]

You're not just covering songs, you give them a new soul! I really really really REALLY like this!

[@CompoundProjects]

I can't stop coming back here and listening. It's just so good. You rock.

[@blanchae]

Was expecting a more traditional cover and was pleasantly surprised. You did a great job and made it your own. For all the haters posting - she did something extremely difficult and did it great! Keep up the great work.

[@captaincodebook3200]

I'm a 50 year old die hard zepplin fan and this is one of the most original and quite frankly awesome covers I have ever heard of a zepplin song great outside the Box original way to go girl

[@war_gamer]

roger that

[@pandorasullivan777]

Huge fan here, I saw Zeppelin in concert in the 70’s, along with all the other greats of the 70’s. I had every album. She blew this one out of the water! 64 here, and still rocking!

[@MikeeHollMartz]

As a Zepp Fan, all i can say is: AMAZING!!! :)

[@jg2716]

Yep

[@torycatherine2044]

The only problem with this cover is the people in the comments getting so butt hurt over it because they're comparing it to the original. Why get so pissy about someone else showing appreciation for a great band? Having appreciation for great artists is where other great artists come from. Everyone is a fucking critic

[@ericheether4449]

I agree. We've all heard the original way too many times. It's always time for something new when it comes to music. That's exactly why I love Post Modern Jukebox.

[@MrSgtskip]

I love her on Zepplin.... I found her through NIN.

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

Let's be clear here, she is the furthest thing there is from a "great artist" .... I laughed so hard at that I am literally coughing my lungs out. This is cheap easy to product music. I think her main inspiration isn't the songs she is mangling, but the views she is hoping to gain. Did you guys know that during the middle ages after the fall of Rome that literally 99% of the earths population forgot to read and write over the course of several hundred years. Only Monks keep this alive and some nobility. This music is proof enough that were are headed in that direction again. Musicianship, music theory .. raw talent is quickly vanishing. Raise your hands if any of you honestly think that Justin Bieber will one day be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? If you raised your hand, please go outside and stand in the street.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

ikr. "the time is now" :/

[@markgerrard383]

@@all.day.day-dreamer What a load of mean-minded nonsense...

[@donotrytofuckus190]

Okay, just discovered you 2 hours ago and it's the most amazing thing that happened to me today... You've got all my support and admiration lady! :D

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I've loved Ramble On since I first heard in 1977, love your version as well. I'm glad you found it and made it your own. Thanks.

[@hashtag8534]

There's a cover, and then there's an interpretation. Anyone with a little talent can pull off a decent cover. But to really nail an interpretation, it shouldn't be immediately obvious what the song is. This is a perfect example. The familiarity came after the beat and groove were established. I really enjoyed this infectious take on a classic Zeppelin song! Next: please do "Kashmir."

[@ericheether4449]

Even people without talent can pull off a cover. Interpretation (which requires talent) is the correct definition!

[@achrisdesign]

Great comment.... @Hash Tag :-) Thanks... amazing music info!

[@angelusnielson7135]

I disagree, a truly great cover to me is an interpretation. If I want the original song I'll listen to the original song, not a cover.

[@markdavies981]

This is brilliant. Such a unique and original take on this song. I'm a Led Zep fan, but I love this version!!

[@PaulConstableMusic]

Great job, Kawehi. Keep it up. This boomer loves it. And you are dead on. Singing along and dancing and having a kickass time is what music is all about!

[@TaiViinikka]

CBC Radio One music people brought me here and I am grateful. Thanks for using the creativity to figure out how to do this one, Kawehi! Hope your show here last night was great!

[@carolmlangford3250]

Totally great! Love her artistry!

[@jo05dk]

I love everything about this cover. You're SO bloody talented, and the way you turned this song into your own is a textbook excample of what that term means. REALLY well done!

[@bentyreman5769]

this proves to me how good the song is, you have completely changed the style and it still holds strong, great arrangement!

[@mitchlacasse361]

wow, that was, surprisingly really good, even better than I had expected

[@StutleyConstable]

Not the bubblegum pop version I was hoping for, but I think this is the most original cover of a Led Zeppelin song I've ever heard.

[@MovieHound17]

+StutleyConstable piss on bubble gum pop...leave that for the 13 year old girls that don't know any better and cream to 1 D....this was a perfect cover.

[@46wireboy]

Wow, this wasn't bubblegum enough? What are you, 6?

[@BaphometsLounge]

The dog pictures in the background were the perfect touch.

[@steelerspittsburgh21]

OMG.......Kawehi you are truly a superstar. I love this cover to death. I can't stop listening to this magnificent cover. You killed this one dead on with your own uniqueness. Kawehi you rock girl.....!!!!!!!!

[@DeeV8night]

Literally one of my all time fave Zep songs. Love your interpretation 👌🏼

[@Pyrosage2009]

Really enjoyed your take on the song, the beat was very catchy and is now currently stuck in my head... so kudos, this was definitely a very enjoyable listening experience to chill out to.

[@cheneyrobert]

You blow our minds 🤯🤪every single time with your insane creative take on the song 🎶👏👏👏

[@commandercaptain4664]

I have a love/hate relationship with KZbin's algorithm. Love that it recommend this to me. Hate that it's 5 years later.

[@kimberlyoliver7308]

I honestly thought she was going to butcher a Zeppelin classic but damn she took a classic and put a very unique spin on it and i must say this is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ramble on gurl ❤

[@SepehrNaserkhaki]

This is now one of my favorite videos on youtube, KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT!

[@ericglock6932]

Really w/o acoustic I didn't think this nature oriented song could work, but it did! Good job! New Life to an old classic.

[@johnb2314]

Love it - love your covers! Keep them coming, and don't stop what you're doing. It is clear that this is fun to you, and it shows. People are always up for fun!

[@SoulDjinn]

I really admire what you're doing. I like every cover I have heard so far. You made this song sound so different, in a good way.

[@udontwanna1]

Ok I just came here from Nine inch nails bite the hand that feeds, and wow! Led zeppelin has been my lifelong favorite group. I can really appreciate your take on it. Very impressive! Keep up the great work!

[@jaydonovan5819]

My prayers have been answerd Kawehi does a zeppelin coverr... Wowww. You truely are my hero!! MArry me?

[@dajify]

This is your best song selection by far!

[@markmccomish7864]

Pfff! What can you say when you watch this level of talent? Awesome ❤

[@sifuone]

You should have well over 1m subs! Can't believe the less talented tubers out there doing ignorant things get more attention than this phenomenal film and music production.

[@Traveler13]

Favourit band ever since the mid 70s, first listen I wasn't sure but second and 3rd listen yes I like it, so give it a chance

[@tankbitsscatter127]

This is a cover, and by that definition I love how you expressed your spin on it. You smashed my expectations, love it!!!

[@alladinsane68]

hey kawehi… musicians know what is talent. You got a lot! Great job and go on

[@jonnypropaganda]

Anyone who loves dogs as much as you do is good people. You pile so much talent and style on great stuff.. and make it your own greater stuff. Much love.

[@bbook1997]

Weirdly awesome :) BTW, totally dig the 3 photos of your dogs in the background!

[@stephenkubica9829]

This Lady rocks!

[@joshuaaitkenhead8407]

I honestly don't believe it's possible you know how good you are. Like, no human as good as you could have a clear idea. As someone with zero musical talent, I'm so jealous ^_^ thanks for being amazing!!

[@emilyarmy6]

i love how much fun you had with this, and it turned out to be amazing! i like your style, you come off so care-free. keep it up!

[@ghobbie]

amazing talent! this is so awesome. thank you for taking a wonderful song and putting your magic spin on it

[@corinabishop4015]

I'm a huge Zep fan...and my wife and I loved this fresh and talented young lady's interpretation !!!!

[@benjamina2711]

I LOVE your covers and originals! You are a real talent, I love your voice, and your creativity. Thanks so much!

[@PauloNavarroDev]

Months pass and I just keep listening and listening... I loved!

[@ogrwindrider]

You drew me in on that one. Started different than what I expected, but half-waythrough I realized I was grooving on it and really enjoying it. Major cool turnaround version of a classic. Love it when people do a different take on an established song, and give it a whole new feel.

[@jakethedevil8500]

Wow...I've been a Zeppelin for as long as I can remember hearing Rock music. I have been a drummer for over 30 years too. SO with that said I would be very hard to convince that this would stand up....BUT I think this was absolutely AMAZING !!! I really enjoyed this. My Rock n Roll hat is off to you for an amazing approach to this song.

[@rob7657]

amazing stuff, Kawehi. endless creativity. you are the queen of all my dreams.

[@marioman75]

Talent! Loved your spin on this song.

[@Mindwerkz]

Best cover is best.

[@призрак999]

I am super bummed I missed you in Rochester NY. If you come back to town I will be there with company for sure. Loving your work.

[@dabsan]

Very good!! Always a pleasure to hear your wonderful voice.

[@LouiesRanch]

No words to describe your amazing talent! Ramble on!!!!!!!!

[@donkoo7687]

[@WKellyJW]

This song is at the top of the list of Zeppelin Songs. I like this version. Great Sounding Kawehi! I had to listen to it twice. Thank You

[@badkluster]

Another tune by Kawehi? And it's Led Zeppelin? Today was a GOOD DAY.

[@Decal0327]

This is an amazing producer right here.

[@Raymond23rdOBC]

very nice! This made my day!

[@Super_Naught]

totally different feel to the song, but you still created something good. this is how covers should be....reimaginings and not the same song by different musicians. well done

[@yccmzimmy]

you're in, your voice is in... the rest is music to support and sustain... but the voice and prescence is worthful enough

[@diggdog528]

That is a cool version of a classic tune! thanks Kawehi!

[@drfabulous77]

This is insane. In the very best way possible.

[@generalwoundwort2366]

The taste of this girl in music is really something, and I love to hear all the songs I like with a fresh interpertation. Hats off for all your songs

[@adriantyler6911]

Well that was an unexpected delight....came in with an old man perspective.....left dancing!
