I'm 32 now, and I lost my Grandfather around 5 years ago, he was and forever will be the most important person in my life, I miss him so much, so much

First found this video 10 years ago. I’ve kept it in my playlist here, but I hardly ever look into my playlists. So when I do, I get a pleasant reminder that this song, especially this rendition of it, exists. I’ve listened to this countless times, and it makes me feel so incredibly calm. It allows me to feel a sadness and maybe even a little bit bitter at the world while also feeling like someone’s allowing me to feel those feelings in the least judgmental and most calming way possible. Hard to convey. I’m just very glad that this is still here for me to listen to. Thank you so incredibly much.

a decade has passed and I've accomplished fuck all

This is honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Both my parents died of cancer by the time I was 21 and it’s really hard to listen to very sad music that I love. But with your music it’s so much more bearable because it’s just so incredibly fresh and magical and with a voice so beautiful even the angels envy, it becomes a soothing and healing experience for me. This is sort of a first-time experience for me with music. It’s almost meditative. Thank you for this amazing beauty. 🎼

I've had this cover in my head for years. Could never find the video again, here I am at 5:45 in the morning and I finally found it. Beautiful

Isn't that the greatest feeling? I've ran into that a few times, and I always feel elated.

this is something i'm simply going to keep coming back to for the rest of my life.

"And he takes and he takes and he takes "😢😭

This is honestly one of the most beautiful covers of Sufjan Stevens I have ever heard, pure talent.

How to take the most beautiful of songs and make it sound beautiful in a totally different way. I love this. Very talented lady. Thank you for sharing. Brought me a lot of joy listening to you play and sing

all the glory indeed. have been coming back to this for all of quarantine and it’s perfect. Thank you ❤️

Omg yes!!!

Probably the 17th straight day in a row I'm listening. Do work Mikaela. Your voice is killer.

Her voice is hauntingly beautiful.

I can NOT stop listening to this. I think I account for about 100 of those views. Looking forward to your show at the Bug Jar next week!

My Nana played the harp. She was a Polish immigrant who had to leave everything behind when she was a young girl when her family fled Poland during WW2. She picked up the harp because she said the sound gave her hope and helped her feel closer to Jehovah. She passed away years ago, but every time I hear the harp I'm reminded of the hours I'd spend listening to her play. Those memories are precious to me, thank you for your beautiful playing.

Who is this heavenly creature... You made me cry! Love from Holland

Simply beautiful, simply beautiful..........

Goldenrod and the 4H stone The things I brought you When I found out you had cancer of the bone Your father cried on the telephone And he drove his car into the navy yard Just to prove that he was sorry In the morning, through the window shade When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade I could see what you were reading All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications you could do without When I kissed you on the mouth Tuesday night at the Bible study We lift our hands and pray over your body But nothing ever happens I remember at Michael's house In the living room when you kissed my neck And I almost touched your blouse In the morning at the top of the stairs When your father found out what we did that night And you told me you were scared All the glory when you ran outside With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied And you told me not to follow you Sunday night when I cleaned the house I find the card where you wrote it out With the pictures of you mother On the floor at the great divide With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied I am crying in the bathroom In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window In the morning in the winter shade On the 1st of March on the holiday I thought I saw you breathing All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications when I see His face In the morning in the window All the glory when he took our place But he took my shoulders and he shook my face And he takes and he takes and he takes

In my entire life of listening to music, I have never heard a voice like yours. You have a special way of singing and it sounds absolutely beautiful. Keep it up and some day you will be on a stage in front of millions if haven't already. :)

The tone of your voice is SO CONSTANT from high to low it's actually just perfect. I could listen to you sing anything seriously. And then as if that weren't enough you're playing the harp which just makes it 50 times better. Can you just cover everything. This cover is sublime. THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME

I've listened to this for two years and I always come back ❤️

I can't stop watching this video. You are so freaking perfect. I wish I could do at least half of what you did in this video.

My favorite cover of this song by far.

I recognize this video was posted almost 10 years ago, but i just found it so it's new to me. AND WOW and I glad it exists.

Oh my gosh this is the most beautiful song...the frequencies are amazing!!..big fan!♡♡♡..harp music ♡♡♡ her voice is angelic

This is such a beautiful cover. I sincerely hope this goes viral.

Thank you for this piece. I usually listen to the original by Sufjan Stevens, but this version has reminded me of the beauty of what my sister represented.

I’ve listened to your cover 1000 times! This is a very special piece of music to me! Thank you wherever you are!!🫠

i'm a big sufjan fan. i searched his name and this came up and i was a bit disappointed that a cover was at the top of the search results. i shouldn't have been, this is lovely. cheers.

j'adore merci beautifull voice je vais écouter les autres belle reprise merci ;)

I just enjoyed seeing Makaela in person in Chattanooga and I was wondering if she knew Sufjan, and here she is with the most excellent cover of my favorite Sufjan track. WOW!

Every time i come on here to link this to someone i have to listen to it all the way through. So glad i found this. Perfect.

Whole body chills throughout the whole thing not even exaggerating

your voice is insanely good! keep up the amazing work!

I've posted this to my FB page and have listened over 20 times in the last 2 hours, played guitar and sang along with you every time and it just makes me happier and happier. I wish you nothing but the best, you are true talent.

You are amazing! A wonderful cover of a beautiful song.

This is one of my favorite Sufjan songs, so it was cool to hear how you arranged it. Those higher harp trills surprised me in a good way. So much sound. My musical friend Michaela McClain needs to hear you. Keep it up.

You sing so incredibly beautiful! Thanks!

What a wonderful cover to stumble upon.
