This entire group of musicians nailed this song from the beginning to the end.

[JoelWelter]

I think this is the most animated performance of ALL the musicians for this song. They seem to be really enjoying themselves while playing. Love it.

[PaulinaAngel]

This is one of the most complex songs ever written and recorded, to see these kids do it note perfect is phenomenal, gives me faith in the future of music and musicianship.

[jeremychambers]

I love how the vocalist just gets right into it! Band sounds like they’ve been playing together for years! Great job!

[GlennM]

I let my 28 year old son listen to this and the original, about 2/3'ds of the way through, he looked at me and said, "That girl on bass is killing it!" He is a musician (guitar, bass, keys, and backing and lead vocals) who has toured much of the east coast with a former legit rock star. He likes to point stuff out most would miss, and it doesn't matter how big your name is, if he thinks it's bad he'll tell you. That he was impressed told me so much. While he liked the whole song, that was the only comment he made on the individuals. Kudos to the bass player!

[osvaldoperri]

I never get tired of watching the singer's great performance and the whole group together. 👏

[robertdewalt]

Nice to hear someone singing without using autotune. Individuals with real talent. Good thing this school exists.

[michaeltutnichts-zursache]

This cover is absolutely eleven out of ten. Not only that it sounds absolutely perfect, the face expression and performance of the vocalist makes me forget that these are students. Aden NEEDS to be on stage with that outstandig style. If there would be only one cover of Edie Brickell's song allowed, it has to be this one. The entire group nailed it and as Edie would say "oh, don't make me choose" between the original and the cover 🥰

[valentinvazquez]

The right song for the right vocalist 👏 they all love the song 🤟🏼

[makotoyamakami]

So I've been binge watching these for a couple hours now and, though I really liked most of what I've seen and heard, this is the one that gets me. In every performance we can see they are in different places, some really living the music, some focusing so hard in not making mistakes, some come out as naturals, some really show they're overcoming a lot. They are all great and I can really see the hard work they're putting in, as rough talent is not enough for anyone to deliver what these youngsters are showing us. But this one… from the three lads doing percussion in the back, the amazing fingering on the bass, the steady rythm of the drums, three clearly distinctive guitars playing, keyboard on point, and, of course, the voice… — what a fantastic voice! — everything in this is perfect! They've all reached a point that it seems effortless! And every musician knows the amount of effort needed to make things seem effortless. This song is alive through them!

[JimYowellDesign]

This VOCALIST is incredibly talented! I look for her to become a concert superstar some day....soon I hope.

[joebarajas]

If this is what our future musicians put out, please give me more! I absolutely love the way Aden gets into the song and her vocals are at the highest level possible! The band also does a great job performing this song. Kudos to these super talented young kids! I'm so loving them! 💯%

[keithdavis]

There will never again be 60's electric live rock, but this very new generation is encouraging that there's hope for live music.
