After listening to this cover countless times, i'm still speechless. How Rebecca opens up her voice is uncanny.
yeah... just wow... what an amazing belt tone
The coolness of Rebecca’s voice and the sweetness of Megan’s slide. Wow
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There’s absolutely no genre of music that you two don’t slay and make your own ❤. You make it look too easy, honestly.
They haven't covered a song by The Doors. That will be the real test.
@@audiophileman7047 I could see them doing a killer “The End”
@@audiophileman7047they've done riders on the storm, and their version blows Morrison out the damned water
I'd love to hear them perform anything by The Doors, but yes, The End would be very very cool. The dark poetry in The End is something Rebecca could really get into.👍 @@artistbrindle
I'm not aware of them ever performing a song by The Doors. Where is that cover? Do you have a link to a video or something? I'd like to hear if Rebel Yell really does best The LIzard King. @@mattgoulty7907
This. Is. Unreal. Vocals, slide, all amazing xx
Good Lord I love you both so much, for so many years (too many to mention), Larkin Poe have been my bread and butter, getting me through the worst times like when family die, and also the best times … walked down the aisle to Larkin Poe playing out the speakers.
The inimitable Larkin Poe. What a performance…
Megan 's slide in the room's natural reverb sounds brilliantly haunting. Assuming she didn't already have some reverb on. And Rebecca's use of her vocal dynamics building it up. Goosebumps y'all!
очень сильный реверберация в настройке - мне так нравится)
There's lots of reverb on Megan's amp. Also on Rebecca's voice when she really belts + echo. Very nicely done.
Wow! The best compliment I can pay this is that the original gives me goosebumps and so does your cover.
Bitter Sweet is a hard tune to put a different slant on because it's the same 4 chords all the way through - but you've found a way that makes it sound MEGA. Great effort. 🙏
Goosebumps also here
So much has already been said about this performance, but here's my 2 cents worth: At times, so much more emotional intensity can be given over to an audience by employing a stripped back musical arrangement such as we see and hear in this video. Rebecca's vocals start very quietly and as she sings a bit louder, she switches to a more breathy-like whispering tone.
Meagan comes in with the song's identifiable musical motif using a large hall reverb, giving her notes a much deeper perceived sound stage. (P.S. The string orchestra melody used by the Verve was actually sampled from an early Rolling Stones song)
By the middle of the song, Rebecca starts to use more of a full voice which grows in intensity, range, and volume.
If you listen closely, it sounds like they were using some kind of gated echo that only gets heard when Rebecca's voice exceeds the set threshold, especially near the end when she sings "Have you been down" a few times. It's those louder, short vocal phrases, along with that cascading echo which makes it sound as if she was singing her heart out upon a mountain top.
So you see, a sparse musical arrangement utilizing some judicious use of signal processing can result in some powerful emotional connections between performer & audience.
Two more notes: That last vocal part of Rebecca's along with the echo actually reminded me of Ann Wilson's voice of Heart. Songs like Heart's "What About Love?" comes to mind. The dynamic range of her voice plus those echoes in the louder high parts always sound full of intensity & emotion.
BTW... anyone recognize the microphone? To me, it looks a bit like a vintage Neumann U-67, but I'm not sure. It's certainly a large diaphragm condenser mic for sure... and Rebecca certainly put the mic's capabilities on display with that vocal. J.R. 🎶😎🎶
Exactly.
Oh ladies, fantastic. Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Goosebumps - Rebecca’s vocals and Megan’s sublime artistry really takes you on a complete journey though the lyrics of this cover. Simply love the way RebL builds from such a gentle start to full blown song as our slide queen brings her strings to life… together pushing the notes and lyrics into our souls. Larkin Poe!!! 🖤⚡️🖤
Very true. I've known this song for a loooong time and have even made a modest cover version of it myself but never have I felt the lyrics that intensely. Sublime artistry indeed!
Listened again...Rebecca's vocal are the best I've heard her sing. Megan's slide beautifully sensitive. Together, just stunning.
Beautiful music 💕💕💕
Wow you ladies never disappoint. Thanks for this beautiful arrangement of this classic tune. Vocals off the charts and Lap steel so amazing. You two are legendary as you continue to keep on sending us sweet ear candy..love yall❤ please do "You Shook Me" the Zeppelin style version it would be killer Lark N Poe style ❤
Simple, Powerful, Extraordinary! 👏👏👏
Not that simple, actually.
This piece deserves a full studio production!!! Hauntingly beautiful!
I disagree. It doesn't need anything else, except a commercial release.
@@PaulRandle-sc8qk lets settle on both.
Those low notes at the beginning really challenged your vocals, but you lit it up. This is actually the first time I've ever really "heard" the lyrics, although I've heard this on the radio many times. Your rendition took it up a notch. When you two play together you really "inhabit" the song. making it a very good experience. Thank you.
Simply beautiful! What a fabulous way to enjoy a Wednesday morning!
That's way beyond a cover --- it's a deconstruction and reconstruction. So beautiful!!!
You are giving this old man unforgivable goosebumps, you know. There will simply have to be an accounting for this. [Hits rewind with serious intent.]
Wow. This has always been a song that I will nod my head for about 30 seconds and then get distracted cause it couldn't hold my attention. Alot of live loopers like to cover this cause it's so, well, simple. This cover is the best I've heard, and you kept me engaged throughout. Your vocals are, as ever, spectacular, but Megan's approach to the steel on that strings line is inspired. I stopped what I was doing and was just enchanted. Beautiful!
This is otherworldly, a quality we can expect from Poe. But they continue to surprise us.❤❤
Magnifique!!! 😍😍😍😍
Never been a big fan of this song - until now 😊. Megan's slide guitar is like an orchestra ❤
Go off Megan!! that riff sounds so good on the slide. Yall always kill it.
Such a good song and cover. I love their taste in music. They have done tons of covers and there are only a few that weren't on my radar.
This sounded fantastic! 👌🎸🤘🔥
This brought me to tears, so very powerful! You two are out of this world 🙌
Same here. Crying like a baby and goosebumps like a sow's nipples as we say in German.^^
@@BlackAdder665 😂 love the German language
@@laurmcb Thanks! 😁(That expression might be rather regional, though)
Wow! I wasn’t sure about this when I saw the thumbnail, and it started off slowly but Meghan’s added a haunting melancholy. Then Rebecca’s vocal got an edge of angst and … wow. I was surprised but really like this.
Makes me so glad, I had that lazy Sunday morning a few years back. And saw these two beautiful and talented ladies on CBS Sunday Morning. It has been a fantastic journey that still treks on today. Thank you Megan and Rebecca Lovelle.🤘👍
Wow. What a fantastic interpretation. Knockin' it out the park as per usual.
Got to love it when a performance gives you chills.... Just Awesome Talent!
I hope you two realize what it's like listening to the covers you do. This one was absolutely uplifting. It was an experience listening. I think I'll listen again.
I wished I had seen you for $15 bucks when I had the opportunity!
@@laurafordahl5817 I am pretty good but I am sure you would find Larkin Poe more entertaining. :o)
Yep, just got the chills!! Great job ladies!!
Oh my goodness, that was ridiculously wonderful.
Holy Moses, I'm speechless! Just incredible
That is so much better than the original version. Absolutely brilliant. I now actually like that song.
I kinda fell in love with these guys the first video of them that I saw, "Mad as a Hatter," the one where they performed live in that church
Beautiful song,.Megan's slide is hauntingly beautiful. Rebecca's vocals are also amazing.
All the goosebumps in the world! And it’s the first time when I gave attention to the text of this song.
When the night comes, you take on a whole new meaning to me. Say nothing to the dark as it whispers to me. I can feel you like truth holding you still as my touch dares to tell me lies. The night was meant for love, and the day comes in like it never cries. So we let the day go by as it plays. Once again, the night comes to hold us this way. But then the dream breaks the reality and the night never stays....Keep singing like Larkin Poe!
Jesus....if you listen to this and your Soul isn't about to explode we probably couldn't be friends...Cover be damned, it just doesn't get any better than this.
This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Beautifully done, LP. RIP Rachel Scott.
Holy Makeral...... I am... in awe.... so moved by this.
I love this so much. Just...speechless. Definitely going to have this video on repeat for a while.
We watch every tune. In the mindset of we have been long fans, My wife said: "She keeps getting better"
Beautiful song, amazing performance. Thank you so much. The Verve deserve more recognition
Well my ears just got blown off with majesty, so that's nice.
I can't stop watching this. It's beautiful.
Excellentissime ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A religious experience! Just speechless!!
Wow!
All the way Yes!!!
Wow! I hope there’s a Kindred Spirits sequel and this is on it. Incredible.
Off topic, I think Blood Harmony is your best album. I’ve listened to it more than any other music in the last year, and I still just can’t get enough of it.
Also I finally got to see you live ar Bluesfest Aus this year and it was the best two shows of the festival, and there was some incredible competition this year! Hope you come back for next year!
Larkiiiin love ❤
WUNDERBAR!❤🇩🇪✅
Among your top five covers, if not the best one
So good.
These ladies are absolutely outstanding, so talented.
Oh my word, magnificent, that shook me to the core. Wow, thank you! You both are so blessed and thank you for just blessing me! Rock 🪨 n ladies!
Power and grace. Love it
I listen to all things LP. But in this particular case, I almost didn’t, as the Verve version never inspired me much. In spite of the excellent hook, the original just seemed to “drone on” endlessly. This is absolutely terrific though! The sisters brought life, emotion and musical dynamics to it! Hit it out of the park again!
That's exactly it Jed: The sisters bring soul and life to every song they touch 🎸. They don't just play music, they embody the music.
Can't wait for October in Lyon (FR) : my Kinsider's soul needs it so much 🤩🤘
@@Franck-O.38 you will love the show! I saw their sold out show at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood, and they raised the roof!
One of your best covers… loved it!
When Megan hits with that signature lick, OMG.... Well done ladies, stellar!
Great cover! ❤ Beautiful voice and fantastic slide action. Ever thought about an album just with cover versions?
They did it
They already have an album of covers. It’s called Kindred Spirits.
With all due respect for the bass player and the drummer, as for me: preferably an album with covers by the two sisters on their own. As down to earth as possible.
@@albertjanvanhoek294 they did it, it's called Kindred Spirits (november 2020).
The way Megan looks at Rebecca during this! True sibling love right there!
And the cover is freaking amazing as usual! Rebecca's voice never ceases to amaze me, and Megan is forever the queen of slide!!
Good Gawd, Rebecca's voice beginning at 01:53 is unreal. I "literally" gasped, and I mean that - I hate it when that word is just thrown about. SHe needs to bring that emotion and strength to some more songs. It will change the path of their undeniable star.
Y'all surely have a God given talent 🙏 may he bless you always! 😘❤
The fact that you guys are so brave to take on this song is special....But that i like it is beautiful. Thank you.
You MUST release this.
It's almost surreal. Rebecca's inimitable voice with Megan's eerie and beautiful slide playing, from which a full symphonic orchestra can be heard, is simply stunning. When I see and hear them, I always have one question: how do they do it? No answer yet...❤😍😍🎸🎸
Seriously: I've listened about 10 or 12 times now, over two days, and literally EVERY time there are tears rolling. That's very rarely happened to me, if ever. I adore you!
That's gotta be the sweetest slide guitar ever played, heard, 😮 I could listen to that all night long. Most slide players get on my nerves before the end of one song.
Fantastic!
My new favorite Larkin Poe song.
Magnificent! I just can’t get enough of this song.
Magic Megan makes this Cover so stunning! And the vocals blow me away as always, Man, are these two great, unbelievable ❤
What a world we live in where no talent auto-tune drivel is common place and talent like this has to be searched for. Tells you everything you need to know about mainstream media.
Nice Cover!
People always say laughter is the best medicine I call partial bullcrap..... because listening to you two is like the greatest bandage to my heart and soul!!! 🥰
Oh Stop! These amazing ladies Spark Joy every time I listen to them.
I absolutely love your songwriting, but these covers have been also a great musical companion ever since many years ago I caught you doing one because you loved the acoustics on a stairway. Megan, Becca, you are rock.
Love this, so good ❤❤
Another brilliant cover of a great song. The simplicity makes it sound so fresh and powerful.
I just keep playing it over and over, my word it’s amazing!
Best cover
OUTSTANDING!!!
It gets me every single time. And it's been a couple.
OMG! Rebecca, your voice just keeps getting stronger.
Brilliant, that was amazing
The Slide is just a joy…..fab!!
Oh, the power of that open-throated vocal!
❤❤ cannot stress how talented these two are!!!
Bittersweet symphony has always been one of my favorite songs that has just endured every time it plays it's never old the lyrics are amazing. I love your rendition!
I got goosebumps - That doesn´t happen often. Seriously good
Sublime !!! ❤️🤘🏼❤️
Brings back great memories! I had this CD on repeat back in the late 90's.
Hands down my favourite version of this song... by FAR! You girls ROCK!
Just STUNNIN' !!! God bless you girls!!!
i just cant get enought of this
Just love these covers, I am liking so many of these more than the originals. Keep them coming, they are terrific.
