Swimming Home - Evanescence Cover

Instrumental made by the awesome RequiemLacrimosa. Check out his other instrumentals because he makes superb quality stuff
When I bought the new Evanescence album, I obviously fell in love with every song. But this one positively swept me away.
I know that not everything is great about this cover and I am still learning more and more about mixing, but I hope you are able to just sit back, relax, and enjoy it.
For those curious, this cover was recorded live with the video but all the harmonies and extra was recorded after....obviously. I'm just mentioning because some people enjoy disputing if any of it was recorded at all with the video. Yes...the main vocals were lol xD

and please....if you want to comment on my hair....send it in a private message or channel comment, please. i'd rather not have this page flood with comments related to my hair unless it's added to a comment about the cover lol.

    I don't usually like Evanescence covers, but this is so amazingly beautiful. Your voice has this added sadness that I thought was missing from the original. This actually made me tear up. I downloaded the mp3. Please keep doing covers. You've definitely made a fan out of me. Take care! :)

    Wow. This is so much better than the original version. It's so haunting and beautiful. I have no idea how you managed to do this in one take, at all, because that's just amazing. The harmonies were also just beautiful. You made me tear up a bit, and not just anyone's singing does that to me. You, truly, sing absolutely beautifully. I have no other words to describe it, you're making me speechless. O.o AMAZING.

    Wow. I got here through yr Labyrinth video, "When The World Falls Down." Which I also loved. I had never heard this song ever before but I've been playing yr video on repeat. Without getting into it I was crying this morning listening to yr beautiful voice in this song...it's really hitting at a tough time in my life, relationships etc. Let me say along w all the others that you are so talented. Keep singing & making people feel things, we need more of that!

Just wanted to leave you a quick something saying that you did an outstanding cover of this song. So much so that your version is what I come to listen to when I want to hear it.
