jameskguy Thank you so much!!

[@jorgepickman2980]

Sara Niemietz ¡Great, great, great voice! Love this version

[@salaopen-official]

One of the best version of this song, LOVEYA!

[@marcelob1178]

U are amazing girl...

[@davidfliflet2642]

very nice!!

[@YusugeMaerchen]

Oh! It's one of Paul Simon's best songs in his solo works. Brava!

[@deborahaviles708]

I cannot even honestly tell you how many times I have listened to this. This was my father's favorite song. He's no longer with us but when you sing this, I think he's listening. Thank you for all of your beautiful covers. 🎶

[@reviewchannel6638]

Beautiful comment! I hope the notification of my comment will remind you of this song, so your dad can hear it again when you revisit it.

[@jerrymariano402]

Sara Niemietz I know God created you, to make us happy and feel good watching you sing .You're awesome.

[@sneezyfido]

This took 7 years to reach me. It's totally worth the wait. For today, I am happy that nothing on the net ever goes away. Also, thank you Sara, just for being as you do.

[@kennethgerber8363]

Just knocked me out. When you can pull a tune of this magnitude off with just guitar and vocal, it says much in respect to melody and words of the song, but also the talent of the performance. She appears to " get it " in spades ( great phrasing ) and the guitarist puts his own spin on the changes, that suit the song so perfectly with this beautiful women's voice. Kudos ... loved every second of it.

[@koldaussie]

One thing I love about you as a singer, is that you don't pick easy songs to cover. You find a lot of people will pick something that they know they can sing easily, but you, you find some pretty hard ones to cover, and not always not the most played songs. Paul Simon has always been one of my favourites and I think you have nailed this probably a bit better. But having that voice, it isn't hard to do. Stunningly gorgeous, and Snuffy is pretty awesome.

[@simshill295]

Sara you and W G Snuffy Walden make me smile. Thankful!!!!!

[@georgehaigler2157]

What a beautiful version. Congratulations! "Sang"!!! What a pure disciplined Guitarist...thank you!

[@paoloa102]

Perhaps the most wonderful song by Paul Simon (for me) and you are very good. Fantastic voice and arrangement

[@johngoatley9870]

Sara, you and Snuffy put your hearts and souls into the music. Absolutely beautiful. I love this song even more now.

[@tombeaudreau9969]

Sara, you and Snuffy are an incredible team! I so enjoy listening and watching. Still watching after all these years.

[@mikecooper877]

I think this is one of , if the best covers you two have ever done!

[@msflath]

what does it feel like to be touched by God as you have been touched? What a blessing you have been given to be able to sing the way you do.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Mark Flath Ah, thank you, Mark! I'm really grateful for the gift of life and the additional gift of a life of music. God is good!

[@34hedgehog]

Oh, wow. One of 'those' moments. You don't find 'em very often, but when you do... what a voice! Beautiful, just beautiful. I've never heard of her before, I'm ashamed to say.

[@windbreaker57]

Now this happens be one of my fave Paul Simon songs. I've never heard this interpreted anywhere near as soulfully uncomplicated, as vocally pristine as you did here.

[@kieranryan2248]

Hi everyone... I am genuinely mortified to admit I have only been "exposed" to Sara and her staggering voice/musicality in the last few weeks... Wow.... and Snuffy...... you can play dude.... you balance the beauty of your gifts with allowing the singer to sing..... that is a talent I applaud. Even if you look a bit like Joe Walsh but slightly LESS surprised when ya hit a note of perfection. Jeez Sara... what can I say that hasn't been said already... go young lady..... you have a voice, a swing, a swagger, a presence that is precious.... best of luck to ya.... Kieran.

[@jrhalpha]

I've been a Paul Simon fan all my life. An excellent cover. Thank you!

[@mikecooper877]

Wonderful cover....you set the bar high...sweet

[@mikecooper877]

Sara, you and Snuffy took a good song and made it great...From the sound of your voice and the look on your face I really believed you ran into your old lover...there must have been some sweet thoughts rolling in your memory! Yes, I believe you! Snuffy, you outdid yourself!

[@nickpearsonuk]

A good song! It's a masterpiece for heavens sake. Don't get me wrong this is a great performance but the original is incredible.

[@pequenovitor]

Sometimes you're just 100%. The day is right, the time is right, and you're ready. This is what this feels like. You can ride that kinda high for years. I've been watching this video regularly for quite some time, and it never fails to put me in that mind set. Dare to say it's as inspired as the original.

[@GoldSabre]

I had to listen to this one twice. Such a perfect duet, with each of you trading the sound so effortlessly.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you! TWO listens! Wow!

[@JackKirbyFan]

I've been a follower of Paul Simon all my life. His music has offered me comfort through some very difficult times in my life. Your version is remarkable. You've added a layer of emotion that Paul could never achieve. I was truly touched by it. Now -- can you do American Tune! I have heard many versions and so many fail to capture the emotion of the song properly. I know you will.

[@kennethgerber8363]

Dave CGS You can never compare the artist that wrote any given song , to anyone that covers it, and make a credible comment ,like Paul not putting the emotion in it. This girl indeed has the best cover of this song I've ever heard,and I agree she puts a heartfelt emotion in and to the song . She feels it, and I'm NOT taking anything away from her performance, it's truly remarkable and I'm sure if Paul ever heard it, he too would give it a big thumbs up. I would love to hear her sing some originals, either of her own material or other unknown songwriters . She has the voice,the phrasing ,the style and certainly a degree of pulchritude.

[@Grizzly_Dragon]

Heartbreaking renditions of some super-classics. You put your heart into these, Sara. Beautiful. And, Snuffy's fingering brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing these. Instant fan.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Adrian G. Griffiths Thank you so much, Adrian! Yes - I love this song so much. What a beautifully written tune. Snuffy's playing is suburb - I agree!

[@chrismayka]

Dear Sara, W O W - awasome song and very beautiful singing, we love your style of performaing Sara, you sung this song with so much feeling and dedication, our compliments to you - BRAVO !! Have a very nice week. Dearest greetings from Chris and Mayka - The Netherlands - Western Europe.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you, Chris! Thank you, Mayka! Really appreciate you watching my videos!! I hope the Netherlands are doing well!

[@stevennewit5729]

Fabulous performance. Beautiful guitar and exquisite vocal. Paul Simon songs can be such evocative poems.

[@jaxparadigm]

Sara ~ Well . . .Well . . .Well !!! About a year ago, I thought ... "This is it!" I thought this is good as she is going to get ... as good as you could get !! You had already crossed into uncharted realms of musical ecstasy where no one had been before. Well Sara, I was sooooo wrong! You just kept going .... further .... and further. At times it is so good it is almost scary. Wow! Wow! WOW! Your dedication, your passion, your gift. THANK YOU

[@SaraNiemietz]

Wow, wow, wow! Thank YOU for the incredibly kind comment! It's been funning learning and singing and learning and singing! Glad you like the direction!

[@craigboone998]

Thank you both for your incredible mastery of your "instruments."

[@duncanmacbean6949]

I keep coming back to listen to this again and again and again. it makes me smile.

[@Nimrodgizmo]

Amazingly wonderful! Love you both!

[@alhuggins3646]

what a pure classic tune to cover. she nailed it and i know Paul Simon would have listened to it more than once and gave a big thumbs up....

[@Midnightrose2467]

👍

[@SaraNiemietz]

Al Huggins Wow! That would be amazing. Thanks, Al!

[@alhuggins3646]

Sara Niemietz just mentioning your name with a song is my pleasure. i want to see you make it big, big, BIG Sara, you got evrything you need. :):):)

[@BenLeedsCarson]

Um ... "would have"? So I'm just going to say that Paul Simon isn't dead.

[@JohnBehrens118]

Considering they sang it together at one point, I imagine you're correct.

[@shannoncash3237]

Absolutely beautiful guitar and stunning voice as always. Such a great song.

[@stevemena6498]

As always, my most favorite singer of all time, beautiful rendition, Sara.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you so much, Steve!

[@bernardfox9078]

Superb vocal range ! Another wonderful song written by Mr Simon.

[@ags0y]

Oh my, what a haunting rendition. So glad i stumbled upon this..

[@BestGirlSingersHere1]

Another exquisite duet by Snuffy & Sara !

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you, Bobby!!!!!!

[@peer_64]

Went to a concert with covers of Simon and Garfunkel last night in my hometown. That made me go back listening your performance. It has been 7 years since I heart your performance for the first time and you had me following you since then. And even after 7 years it still stands like nothing else. Love the way you tell the story and that little roughness in your voice. And I'm truly jealous at the beautiful guitar play of Snuffy; what a timing and chordplay. So I sincerely can say: Still crazy after all these years😘

[@RamblinAround]

Your voice is perfect....excellent performance by you both.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you!!!

[@lindaljune23]

Still Crazy After All These Years Paul Simon I met my old lover on the street last night She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers Still crazy after all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years I'm not the kind of man who tends to socialize I seem to lean on old familiar ways And I ain't no fool for love songs That whisper in my ears Still crazy after all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years Four in the morning Crapped out Yawning Longing my life away I'll never worry Why should I Its all gonna fade Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars I fear I'll do some damage one fine day But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers Still crazy after all these years Oh, still crazy Still crazy Still crazy after all these years

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Another wonderful performance Sara and Snuffy!

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you so much!

[@barryholman2645]

Wow, great rendition of a brilliant song, and the guitar work..........................................OMG !

[@flarn1949]

Sara, I just love your song selections. I think I have told you that before, but I really appreciate the classics and a great entertainer who does not rely on the "new stuff" to get an appreciative audience. Thanks again for sharing your gift with us. JohnF

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thanks so much! There are so many songs out there! I cover tunes I love.

[@jordanvanderwerf]

I can watch this over and over and over and over... she is so subtle and beautiful with her gestures while singing..

Aw - thanks, Steve! This album is BRILLIANT! Appreciate you working to wear out the digital grooves. =]

[@Timliu92]

Sara, your voice is absolutely gorgeous. That tone was just mesmerizing. In my opinion your cover really does the original justice. I can close my eyes and imagine every word you are singing. Probably one of the best covers I have seen in KZbin! :) :) :) You have just won yourself a subscriber.

Thank you! It's my birthday song, in this version, every year. ❤️

[@camsna]

Since stumbling upon this video the other day, I've been thinking of what to say and how to say it. Here's about the best I could come up with: As a musician, arranger, and Paul Simon fan; this rendition of Still Crazy is…perfect. As of this moment, this video has 18,924 views. I'm sure that at least 16,500 of those have been me over the last few days! Ha! Ms. Niemietz, my hat is truly off to you. One of the most common criticisms that I have of young, talented vocalists is that they are so often unable to 'get inside' the song. They'll sing words of longing and despair with a smile, or a simple, perfect melody with inappropriate ostentation and flair. What they need is to live awhile longer and have their hearts broken and mended a few times. However. I'm absolutely amazed by how you were able to get inside this one (something that, I'm convinced, very few could hope to do) and catch every sort of existential cue. You captured the not only the lonely, melancholy bits, but also the absurd and subtle silliness, too. Not to mention, you chose just exactly the right key signature. Beautiful. Very. Very well done, indeed. I could go on, but I hate to gush so much that I sound insincere. I'm glad to have found this video and thank you for it. --- Cam

[@SaraNiemietz]

camsna Goodness. Thank you for this incredibly kind, thorough, and articulate comment. This is my favorite song, so I'm honored you liked our version! So grateful for the support!!!

[@ericbaylor4039]

Thank you Sara. Another wonderful song from a wonderful singer. Keep on doing what you are doing because it is great. From a new fan.

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Hey Sara, every time I check out one of your new vids, you're better than the time before! "Four in the morning" you totally nailed that note! Beautiful! Also, exquisite guitar playing by Mr. Walden! Love it.

So I just discovered you yesterday. Am in love with your music and will play some of your particular songs a few times in a row. This is one of them 😊 I do love the raw way you sing 'turn turn turn'. I am hoping to coax you into singing something so right by Paul Simon. Thanks 😇
