"Moon River" (Cover) - Sarah Joy
Музыка
This song is dedicated to my dear friend Lyndsi who passed away in 2008. Audrey Hepburn was Lyndsi's favorite actress and "Moon River" has always reminded me of her. I hope that everyone who views this video enjoys this beautiful song as much as I do.

Lyrics:
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me

I am an orphan and was raised and loved by my paternal grandmother. And this song is her favorite song. I remember when she was lying in a coma in the hospital, I hummed this song to her, and she gently squeezed my hand. This was played in piano on her funeral, and everytime I hear this song, it makes me cry... I love my nana, so much!😟

I know how you feel. Even though I may not have experienced this. It's definitely not a good feeling when you lose a loved one, especially someone close. If you ever feel like you're missing her, you can always talk to me. ♥️

you made me wanna cry and I'm not the crying type. Feel happy for your nanna for she's perfectly happy with JESUS and the SAINTS.
This is the only 'Moonriver' cover I love almost as much as the original.

Wow! This is phenomenal, Sarah Joy! The black-and-white, artistic look, coupled with your brilliant-and-haunting vocals, gives this a melancholy, almost noir feeling. Tremendously well done!

What a beautiful rendition to a much beloved song; my dear husband and I have loved this song “forever”and have a mutual love of the piano and cello , voice and good music!Your voice is mellow , hauntingly sweet and beautiful ... simply timeless . Those of us that love spending time with the one we love and call our best friend , and the sweetness of a song that calls us to explore together, will always appreciate your amazing cover of this song!
So beautiful and peaceful like angel 💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰
This is masterpice! “Moon River” was sung by Audrey Hepburn (at least nobody’s ever proven she was dubbed) in character as Holly Golightly, who came out of the rural south to become a party girl who “subsists on dates with wealthy lovers, in the hope that one of them will marry her.” (Truman Capote's heroine Holly Golightly by another name) So it’s easy to interpret the beginning of the song, “I’m crossing you in style some day,” to mean I intend to cross from my plain old world into a glamorous one. But then everything changes. The river is not only a “dream maker,” which fits well with what the beginning implies, but also a “heart breaker,” which means accepting that there can be a price. And the song says “Wherever you’re going, I’m going your way,” switching from the idea of crossing the river to the idea of following the river. She and the river are then termed “two drifters, off to see the world,” as she re-imagines the dream maker and heart breaker, which were a kind of powerful force in contrast to herself, as more of a partner. The song says there’s “such a lot of world to see” before we reach the “rainbow’s end,” so if we’ve seen all the world that we can, then I supposed the “rainbow’s end” can only be death- which has been metaphorized many times already by other writers as the place where the river ends; and it’s the place where the force that has swept her along through life is revealed as not just a partner but a friend. Johnny Mercer, the lyricist, also came out of the rural south and became a prominent, sought-after figure. Some of his dreams came true, others didn’t. Although he was scarcely fifty when he wrote the song, he had lived an amazing life and I think that whatever else “Moon River” is, it’s also a personal summing-up in anticipation of meeting his Maker. From google search
Very lovely rendition of one of the most beautiful romantic song. A great way to spend a lovely fading Summer afternoon. Thanks.
I am crying with love .
Hearing this, immediate pictures of Audrey come to mind. You have really encapsulated the very essence of Audrey in both style and tone of voice. I can easily ascertain that you studied her version of the song in great depth, down to the strokes of her strumming the guitar as it is depicted in your piano playing. Bravo!

That is interesting. I don't see much similarity between the two. I am so partial to Audrey. Maybe only a slight softness in her voice here, but still not like Audrey. I almost heard a bit of Andy Williams in this one.
My god what talent! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Way more than amazing, thank you.
Beautiful and moving. I love it! Thank you for sharing this!

My favorite song when I was a young girl. You have done a wonderful performance. The black and white cinematography, lighting, the mirror, and the shot from behind... there are no words to say how beautiful your work you put in it. What a tribute to your friend. Thank you! I am sharing this on my Facebook post.
So extremely beautifully done with immense feeling. The addition of the cello really enhances the arrangement too. Great video all the way around! ❤️
Breathtaking
You sang that just beautifully. Such a lovely voice.
You are the sweetest singer, warm and tender!
