this version probably has less views because the other videos usually have Tokyo Ghoul thumbnails, no one really knows this is the original version

The one, original, and incredible Donna Burke. Wish you were in more anime. Your music is awesome!

I love how she's still hearting every comment, it shows that she still cares.

One of my best friends introduced Tokyo Ghoul to me a few years ago. Not only did she open the door for me to discover the world of a great anime, but I was astounded by how spectacular the music is in the series. Glassy Sky is a gem in the middle of all the other original songs. Donna, I wanted to thank you for lending your voice for the song. I sing or hum it in tandem with you every time I listen to it. Truly a special song in my life that I might never forget.

She doesn’t get enough credit, she’s the one who sang this masterpiece

I've been listening to this song for years, and I've never got tired of it And every time I hear it as if I am hearing it for the first time ♥

Came to hear a "Glassy Sky" cover, discovered that Donna Burke is the singer, and finally understood why I love this song so much. Grew up with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and loved the intro song. You are awesome, you're that kind of people that we take with us through the games/anime of our lives without even knowing that you are here. Thank you.

Can't believe this master piece is already 8 years old.

Have you noticed how the bass drum is sort of out of sync? Like his heart beat has changed now that he's a Ghoul..I had to ask them to mute it when I recorded it as it was so unsettling- but in the final mix it's perfect..

3:40 She’s not just singing, she’s creating emotions and bringing them out from the inner depths of her soul and ours. Mountain sized chills all over!

still one the greatest song of all time after all these years... goosebumps everytimes, love it

People as talented as you made the first season of TG such an awesome and iconic experience to have, thank you

When you you realise this ain't a cover

Love how people be like, "Wow such a great cover" without knowing she is the person who performed this song

Donna Burke, thank you so much for being the voice for this song. Gives me goosebumps every time! I love it.

The fact that i can’t stop watching Tokyo ghoul because of this song is absolutely insane and i thank you 😊 ❤

the voice of an angel...

Every time I hear this song, the one thing that comes up to my mind....... “Welcome to Anteiku”

I’m 17 right now and back about 6 years ago I watched Tokyo ghoul, for years this has been the only song to ever make me cry. Being able to cry to this song has helped me develop emotion and become myself and realize who I am as a person. I know you don’t know who I am but I thank you deeply for your work and I respect the hell out of you. Thank you Donna Burke.

This song still makes me crying when i listen to it. Real Goosebumps. Beautiful. "GLASSY SKY ABOVE, COVERS OVER ME, OVER ME..." such a great lyrics as well. I can feel the pain as well. Thank you, Donna. Youre a great singer.

Tokyo Ghouls anime could’ve been a masterpiece have they followed the manga... I’m so mad that they didn’t do it justice :/

thank you for making toyko ghoul even more beautiful with your voice T_T

Omg this voice is insaneee. I already thought that the opening of tokyo ghoul was insane but this is sick too. I could never imagine to be this good in singing big ups!

“ the city , the crowd is fading , moving on “ Oh my god many memories hits hard every time i hear this music , listen to these words , it almost has been 7 years and it still hits . Thanks from my heart Donna Burke for this magnificent masterpiece ❤️❤️❤️.

You have no idea how many days and nights I've spent crying to this song. Once I heard it on Tokyo Ghoul, I was bawling. It fit the scenes so well and your voice is the most hauntingly beautiful thing I have ever heard. I immediately had to find out who sang it. It has been a few years since then, but I still listen to it and cry and have just barely seen this video. Thank you so much for your wonderful voice. It fits so perfectly with the music. ❤

what a nice cover... . . wait....

I have literally no idea how you made this… It’s literally THE best song I’ve ever heard. And I’m not kidding here. I can remember all the songs i loved and this one out of all is the best one. It fills me with so much emotion and makes me feel relaxed at the same time. I cry tears of happiness and sadness at the same time each time i listen to this. And you still communicate with your community on a 6 year old video. Shows how much you care about us. Thank you for this heavenly masterpiece.

I wonder how it feels that so many people hear your voice every once in a while because they love both the song and the series dearly, and probably will continue to listen to it until their last days. I know I will.

This isnt singing anymore. Its a woman telling us the story of two broken hearts.

3:36 I LOVE the pause , then the drums, then the "GLASSY SKY ABOoOVE" AAHH I'M IN LOVE

本当に感動します。 何度聴いても飽きない 生で聴いてみたい！！

I have listened to this so countless times and every single time i get goosebumps and a massive smile on my face. Thank you so much for this.

作中、この曲を聴いて… 金木くんが見ている世界、感じてる世界がこの曲に詰まってる気がしました すごく切なくてでも強くなければいけない、でもそんな強くなる自分に泣けてくる、とてもとてもいい曲をありがとうございます。

2020 anyone? Her voice is really beautiful...my god

Thank you Donna Burke for such an Unforgettable and gorgeous song for Tokyo Ghoul √A. It has had a beautiful place in my mind for 6 years!!! It feels so alone and cold, but the feeling is so beautiful...

this song is a masterpiece, thank you for singing this beautiful song

Puts me to tears when people shout at the screen with vile language gets 30 million subscribers rather than people of amazing talent like Donna Burke! Donna, never stop what you're doing! Hearing your voice lights up my world every day!

How did so many people here not realise this is the original singer?! Anyway Donna, you sound epic! Hope you can sing more songs like this for animes in the future!

This is, hands down, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The piano, the subtle "electronic" effects, that powerful hook with the drums and electric guitar kicking in, and your voice is superb. I get goosebumps every time.

I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times over the past years and it still sounds so good, amazing voice donna!

I love this song so much! Thanks a bunch for singing it; it wouldn't haven't been nearly as good if not for you :-)

This is the best cover for this song! Wait a second

still listening to this masterpiece, brings so many good memories...so many feelings...the chorus breaks me everytiime

This song reminds me of all the sadness and worries I’ve had in my time on earth. Yet at the same time, I feel so damn glad to still be breathing and healthy, experiencing new days to come. The lyrics are incredibly sad overall, yet the vocals itself is so soothing to listen to which makes me feel this certain way. It’s wild how after all these years the song never fails to have the same impactful impression on me. You’re honestly incredible and I couldn’t imagine a better vocalist for this song.

*i started crying when she started singing* this song is so emotional bruh

With no more MGS from Kojima, I thought we'd heard the last of Donna Burke. Nope, this song starts playing in Tokyo Ghoul. Emotions welling up while this voice cuts through it all, followed by full-body goosebumps. Excellent stuff, you have my thanks.

Every now and then I come back to this video because this song is such a fine piece. I really love the emotion you put into your singing. Beautiful job done

Literal goosebumps when listening to this, Donna you are amazing... the lyrics take you somewhere and every time you zone out your voice brings me back with the chorus ! Thanks you for putting a smile on the face of a stranger ! Lots of love :)

How many days have passed like this? This city the crowd is fading, moving on I sometimes have wondered where you've gone Story carries on Only lost inside I had this dream so many times The moments we spent has past and gone away Could there be an end to this What I'm feeling deep inside You know there's no looking back Glassy sky above As long as I'm alive You will be part of me Glassy sky the cold The broken pieces of me The mystery of it I recall Suddenly the truth will change the way we fall I didn't wanna hurt you, hope you know Empty promises, shattered dreams of love Sometimes I wonder what's beyond I tried many times to make it up to you Can somebody tell me what to do? Thought we're meant to be There's no going back Time has already come Sun is gone and no more shadows Can't give up I know and this life goes on I'll be strong I'll be strong 'til I see the end Glassy sky above As long as I survive You will be part of me Glassy sky the cold The broken pieces of me Glassy sky above Covers over me, over me

WAIT YOU'RE THE OWNER OF GLASSY SKY? YOU MADE GLASSY SKY? OH MY GOSH OH MY AJSDKANSJDLKASD

Probably the most replayed song from an anime for me. And a song that is still stuck in my playlist after all these years. Sooo good

These vocals are so beautiful, moved me to tears tbh -- such talent!

"She was smiling, Like she was at a loss...Like she was a little bit sad...I...thought to myself, how can anyone be...as pretty as her" -Haise Sasaki

How 1 song can change an entire anime ending.. Respect! I hope to hear one of your beautiful songs in the next tokyo ghoul, they best add you in it!!

I've loved this song since i first heard it. It's unbelievable i've never seen you singing it directly until today. Goosebumps. Such a wonderful voice and a beautiful song that's stuck with me for years. Thank you❤

Her voice OMG is like a can close my eyes and relax let go off everything that bothers me and just focus on what's important to me, my girlfriend and my mom. Specially when I put the volume a bit down and just hear the smoothness of her voice is just so soothing❤

"As long as I'm alive you'll be part of me" makes me think of my twin brother who sadly passed, song gives me a lot of mixed emotions

You can buy this song on itunes- itunes.apple.com/jp/album/glassy-sky-from-dong-jing/id968315914?i=968315978 It's just not under my name but it's me singing!

this song ages like fine wine. it sounds so much more beautiful than the first time i heard it..

Absolutely love your voice! Your voice and this song brought out the emotion and tears in so many scene in Tokyo Ghoul. Wouldn't be the same without this song!!

Not only is she beautiful, but her voice is angelic! Thank you for this masterpiece

Beautiful singing… i literally have no words to describe this song properly

The Most Touching Song As I Ever Heard .. Glassy Sky Thank You Donna Burke !

Nothing beats the original. You are too humble Ms. Burke, you are the One-eyed King these other covers should pay homage to. Keep on rocking in 2018! 😁😀💪👍👏💚💛💜🎸🎶🎵

The fact that I wasn't so hooked and listening every day like pop music, yet came back after 9 years to listen just shows what a masterpiece this is

Your voice and this song makes me so emotional, thank you for singing this masterpiece Donna

Wait, are you trying to say that the singer behind my favourite songs of the Metal Gear saga did that masterpiece played in some random anime that I've watched? My God, that's amazing!

I can feel her pain.. that’s how great her performance is

Even today I could listen to it over and over again. Thank you so much for singing this song, your voice fits the music perfectly.

This music is amazing and this combination was wonderful. You can feel the emotion that the lyrics of the song convey and the singer intensified everything with the sung interpretation, her facial expressions during the song are amazing as if she was really going through that. Thank you so much for this work, Donna Burke, Yutaka Yamada and the instruments people ♥

2020 but still brings out bottled up emotions from deep within the trench i call my heart everytime i listen to it

That Beautiful Voice...

Your voice and your ability to emote through it are just phenomenal. I never watched TG but this song has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Amazing work

This song impacted me so much during these years... Definitely my favorite of all

When I learned that Eminem sampled this song in his latest album I was pretty excited. Keep it up, Donna!

When you realize it’s not a cover...

I've heard a lot of musics my whole life... but this one, for sure, It's the most beautiful one. Such a powerful, touching and beautiful voice.

simply masterpiece. The voice, the melody, incredible!

Donna Burke watches Tokyo Ghoul? Awesome!

It's a lovely song, full of truth ! Thank you Donna for sharing it with us...

The tokyo ghoul ost had some really beautiful tracks, this being one of them. Its one of those osts that has stuck with me for years now, the vocals are so perfect

It's always so bittersweet to listen to this song, I love it and I love how much emotion you put into it as well, truly there isn't anyone that could sing this song like you do, it was meant to be

9 years have already passed by since this masterpiece has been created. ❤

Let us all take a moment to appreciate this wonderful woman for her contributions.. She also happens to sing an old favourite of mine 'Heavens Divide'. Metal Gear Solid fans assemble!

im glad they picked you to sing this song. Its suits your voice perfectly.

I keep coming back to this video, what an amazing voice and harmony!

This still gives me chills, such a sweet and yet so deep voice. Splendid!

Don't know how many times I've fallen asleep to this song at night honestly one of my fave songs now thank you for your voice :)

This song means the world to me , and your voice is something that helped me through very difficult times. Thank you.

I've been listening to this song religiously for a few years (it gets me every time, easily one of my favorite songs of all time) and I never saw the artist behind the voice until now. I knew the vocals were utterly beautiful, but to see the singer perform the song... the talent... the emotion and vibe... the focus... the way she gestures the emotions with her hands, squeezes the note between her fingers... I am absolutely blown away.

Even after all this time, this still hitting different...what a great music and singer!
