"Moon River" (Cover) - Sarah Joy

[@vrigenscaval8698]

I am an orphan and was raised and loved by my paternal grandmother. And this song is her favorite song. I remember when she was lying in a coma in the hospital, I hummed this song to her, and she gently squeezed my hand. This was played in piano on her funeral, and everytime I hear this song, it makes me cry... I love my nana, so much!😟

[@tc-yg6ed]

be strong dude

[@guojingmo908]

There there......

[@yukinochang-leng8272]

Stay strong!

[@evelynpfriem8499]

I know how you feel. Even though I may not have experienced this. It's definitely not a good feeling when you lose a loved one, especially someone close. If you ever feel like you're missing her, you can always talk to me. ♥️

[@antoniosantos4354]

you made me wanna cry and I'm not the crying type. Feel happy for your nanna for she's perfectly happy with JESUS and the SAINTS.

[@evawalters2267]

This is the only 'Moonriver' cover I love almost as much as the original.

[@sarahjoyrecordings]

Oh wow, thank you Eva!

[@auzanagustian192]

Eva Walters you

[@solar173]

Eva Walters Try Reneè she's also amazing but they have completely different voices

[@徐劭辰-t2m]

Me too.

[@drawntomountains]

I have to agree. Just pure bliss !

[@sarahjoyrecordings]

Thank you all so much for getting my "Moon River" cover video over 10,000 views! I am blown away by how much you all supported me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYaTf2N-oLqhjqM&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z13tztdb0zeuijxfb23pcj4xgnfswz5z504

Looking exceedently gorgeous and talented Artist....Congratulations for your performance!

[@betterthanitneeded]

Getting close to 200K now , fantastic rendition.

[@radhityamahendra1586]

My deceased mother listening to this song at every single afternoon when I was kid. Every time I hear this song, I really miss her.

[@fraochmataz]

radhitya mahendra oh yeah you commented that on the audrey hepburn one too, hello again

[@antman525]

She'll always be watching you from the heavens above, I can assure you. She's proud of you. 💙🙏🏾

[@alexkarabuto1857]

One of the the most impressive covers for MOON RIVER EVER! Many thanks!

[@Attingats]

I seen about 30 versions of this song and yours is in the top 3 which includes Andy Williams. I'm sure your friend Lyndsi would be proud of your version. This is a special version.

[@sarahjoyrecordings]

+Attingats Thank you for such a kind comment!

[@steveheckle8847]

A young Filipino artist by the name of Morissette amon has just in the last few days done a cover of this that's just knockout, I do like this one though.

[@Best_blessedRhonda]

So True❣️Beyoncé’s version is also beautiful

[@esllerartsprints9615]

Moon river wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday Oh dream maker, you heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going your way Two drifters off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbows end Waiting round the band My huckleberry friend, moon river and me

[@ccgamedes33]

...round the bend...

[@Danymity1]

Hearing this, immediate pictures of Audrey come to mind. You have really encapsulated the very essence of Audrey in both style and tone of voice. I can easily ascertain that you studied her version of the song in great depth, down to the strokes of her strumming the guitar as it is depicted in your piano playing. Bravo!

[@sarahjoyrecordings]

DullardGuy Thank you so much for taking the time to give such nice words. I did study her version quite closely, and I'm glad that it shows. :)

[@JessJoanne]

That is interesting. I don't see much similarity between the two. I am so partial to Audrey. Maybe only a slight softness in her voice here, but still not like Audrey. I almost heard a bit of Andy Williams in this one.

[@wepickyouwin2647]

A woman playing a stringed instrument singing with the voice of wispers of a thousand angels.... Magnificent. Bravo Sarah 👏 Bravo!

I absolutely loved this version.Elegant and classy and brought tears to my eyes.Such a breathless yet gentle interpretation.The musical arrangement was also excellent.Thank you for a wonderful contribution.

[@MsTinaZee]

Wow! This is phenomenal, Sarah Joy! The black-and-white, artistic look, coupled with your brilliant-and-haunting vocals, gives this a melancholy, almost noir feeling. Tremendously well done!

[@sarahjoyrecordings]

Thank you so much!!

[@kllabboo]

What a beautiful rendition to a much beloved song; my dear husband and I have loved this song “forever”and have a mutual love of the piano and cello , voice and good music!Your voice is mellow , hauntingly sweet and beautiful ... simply timeless . Those of us that love spending time with the one we love and call our best friend , and the sweetness of a song that calls us to explore together, will always appreciate your amazing cover of this song!

[@roberthanna7955]

Far and away, the most beautiful, stunning rendition of this song... Ever ! Smooth... velvety & so warming. Brilliant ! Thankyou

[@ArizonaAirspace]

Very lovely rendition of one of the most beautiful romantic song. A great way to spend a lovely fading Summer afternoon. Thanks.

[@TrangLe-hd9pq]

This is masterpice! “Moon River” was sung by Audrey Hepburn (at least nobody’s ever proven she was dubbed) in character as Holly Golightly, who came out of the rural south to become a party girl who “subsists on dates with wealthy lovers, in the hope that one of them will marry her.” (Truman Capote's heroine Holly Golightly by another name) So it’s easy to interpret the beginning of the song, “I’m crossing you in style some day,” to mean I intend to cross from my plain old world into a glamorous one. But then everything changes. The river is not only a “dream maker,” which fits well with what the beginning implies, but also a “heart breaker,” which means accepting that there can be a price. And the song says “Wherever you’re going, I’m going your way,” switching from the idea of crossing the river to the idea of following the river. She and the river are then termed “two drifters, off to see the world,” as she re-imagines the dream maker and heart breaker, which were a kind of powerful force in contrast to herself, as more of a partner. The song says there’s “such a lot of world to see” before we reach the “rainbow’s end,” so if we’ve seen all the world that we can, then I supposed the “rainbow’s end” can only be death- which has been metaphorized many times already by other writers as the place where the river ends; and it’s the place where the force that has swept her along through life is revealed as not just a partner but a friend. Johnny Mercer, the lyricist, also came out of the rural south and became a prominent, sought-after figure. Some of his dreams came true, others didn’t. Although he was scarcely fifty when he wrote the song, he had lived an amazing life and I think that whatever else “Moon River” is, it’s also a personal summing-up in anticipation of meeting his Maker.
