"I Can See Clearly Now" - Marsh Family acoustic cover of Johnny Nash song
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- This song choice and performance is dedicated to the family of our amazing friend, Sharla Chittick, whose mum Carlene sadly passed away recently, and for whom a celebration of life (and a tree planting) is taking place this weekend in Bend, Oregon. As recounted by Sharla and family, hers was a remarkable life - full of the outdoors, animals, travels and adventures - that took her from Texas, New Mexico (where a joint love of saxophone led to a lifetime partnership with Eldon), around the world, and back to North America: Edmonton and Vancouver, Idaho, and latterly Arizona and Oregon. So it's maybe not as fully unleashed as the original song by Johnny Nash (in 1972), but there's hopefully a bit of a sense of joy, peace, and also relief in there too - especially since some of the last steps in Carlene's amazing life journey (and therefore those caring for her) involved dealing with the impact of dementia. That disease sometimes clouds memories not just inside those suffering but also the memories of them, so it's even more important to look for and celebrate the blue sky behind and around us.

You guys are awesome!❤
Beautiful. Well done Marsh Family. AGAIN.
bravo what a lovely rendition of the song your harmonies are spot on well done I love it ❤😅
Pretty much one of the best all-time music videos ever. They have it down. They way they pulled off those difficult harmonies.
Nicely done, darlings. Nash would be proud. Much love from across the pond.
I heard this song sung by blind actors in NYC at the close of a Greek tragedy play at The Theater of the Blind.
Yes Yes Yes and Yes ! just fantastic !!!!
Absolutely beautiful those harmonies are amazing well done 👏🏻 ❤
Thanks for getting me through a dark day.
Hope you're feeling better.
Excellent 👍Well done!
I love music.😀❤️ when done by very talented performers it’s just…❤️❤️
I really like that song too.
What a treat! A second Marsh Family video in less than 24 hours! 🎉🎉🎉
I hope this brings peace to many.
I love all the string instruments used - made for a soft and subtle accompaniment. And as always, fantastic vocals. I needed that to start my day, Love, from Texas.
I saw it said somewhere that song & music is so important for people with dementia. It can help reduce anxiety and depression, help maintain speech and language, is helpful at the end of life, enhances quality of life and has a positive impact on caregivers and others with dementia........ A wonderful rendition guys....and the Princess of the song start, Tess, does it again, with a cracking opening. Well done.
The other lass starts it, not Tess.
@@theesbband That would be Ella.
@@theesbband Beg to differ, it was definitely Tess started singing first.
@@pinkseaturtle2000 Correct on the name of the other "Lass", if she had started singing that is, but she didn't it was Tess.
So true. I worked at a facility in memory care. It's so sad. I was surprised by this disease. It robs the victim of their lived ones. So, it's hard as a caregiver to deal with. What's worse. Family stops coming. That's truly sad.
Well done with that lovely fitting tribute to Carlene. 💟
My dear friends, it's a lovely song. Well done Marsh family.
Great work thanks!
This song has long been a favourite of mine and gave me hope in some dark times. Great cover.
Bravo 👏 🐈
Well said, your family rocks with all the newest paradise. God's blessing to you and your family. 💁♀️
I 💕 love the harmony. I also find it impressive that any one of your children can carry the song by themselves. Well Done from America.
Stunning rendition ❤
How absolutely wonderful and a lovely tribute. Brilliant rendition to the this lyric!
RIP, Carlene!
A lovely song on a gray dreary day here. Thank you.☀️
thank you for putting that out - your explanation made me cry - bless that family and their memories
Excellent Cover Guys, you r the best
Another beautiful rendition,thank you . I always look forward to your next song ❤
Reminds me of two years of hearing this song every time my family took friends and relatives to Disney World two to ten times a month while I was stationed in Orlando in the Navy.
Beautiful. One of my very favorite songs❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful harmonies. It's great to see you all working together.
What a kind and beautiful gift for your friend! this is a perfect transition accompaniment for crossing over, especially from a difficult ending.
A beautiful song, and so well done. Perfect for the one that's gone on her way, and for those still here. It is a warm sunshiny day here near Portland Oregon and I hope it is in Bend too!
Love this! What a bright spot in the dreary 32 degree farenheit 0 degree Celsius day 🌞
Lovely rendition. One of my favourite sing along tunes. Never understood how it hasn't become more of an anthem that we suddenly burst in to song with at noteworthy moments. Much better than that awful Sweet Caroline!
Lovely. Much needed right now.
Very nice, Marsh Family!👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome! more covers please ... and from musicals too. 🙂
A beautiful rendition and beautiful harmonies. Well done! 👏👏
Wow. Spin tingling! 👏👏👏👏👏
Very well done, as always. I love the parodies and more serious commentaries you do, but this was a sweet tribute - straight from the heart (and it showed). Well done!
Felt the sense of reflective peace...and was momentarily confused. Then I read the comments and realized the song came off beautifully. Well done!
Love the song and harmonisation, and such a thoughtful way to celebrate a life. You cleared the sky from her final clouds and gave her path in the world back to her. ❤❤❤
Did I misinterpret the meaning of the song? If there's something else behind it for the MF I do apologise and hope everyone is OK x
Beautiful. So proud of you all!
Oooohh.... Lovely harmonies!!! You nailed it again, Marshes... 👏👏

Terrific. What a wonderful homage for Carlene!
Brilliant, Johnny would be proud of you all. I am so glad I follow you!
Ahhhhhh. Beautiful arrangement of one of my all time favourite songs. Great harmonies and intonation. And once again you capture one of the main themes of British life 😂 da wevva!! Let's hope we will get to see clearly in every sense as spring approaches. Happy days x😊
Wow great original rendition of a classic song!
Great job. Lovely harmonies too. It was great to hear a straight cover from you that did not have a satirical bent to it as well. Thank you
Thank you!One of my favourite songs which I sing regularly,a cappella,(i.e:to myself!).All the very best to you😊.

Good job everyone!!!

Love this.
That filled me with such a sense of wellbeing on this cold dark morning! Thanks so much Marsh Family ❤❤❤
Fabulous! Thank you
What a surprise to find the second video in two days from the Marsh Family! You did a wonderful job, as usual, on this classic song, and it was a very beautiful tribute to your friend's Mother. It is a bright sunshiny day where I am right now, and your new song just made it a little brighter!
That was lovely.
Beautifully done❤❤❤
Lovely!
Lovely, such talent x
Ahhhh you’re all fab❤
Nice one, Marshes ! Love this song. 20 years ago, I used to have an occasional brief technical meeting at work with 2 ladies, then when the 1st one departed the meeting a little early, I could (and did !) sing "I can see Deirdre now that Jayne has gone !" much to Deirdre's amusement !
Wonderful! Thank you 😊
Beautiful 👏🏼
I think Nash got stuck in the Marsh. This is so damn good it's hard to believe. The harmonies are wonderful.
