Wow Mary you are the real deal! Kind of stumbled onto your videos while searching tutorials, but quickly became a fan of your talent, unique approach, and personality.

The fact this happened just makes me smile. I mean a big sh*t eating grin. Ear to ear. This is just great. I think John REALLY appreciated the exercise of taking a small portion of someone else's song, one you haven't heard completely and aren't influenced by and making it your own. It's a great way to train yourself in songwriting and composition. I think John really admired the guts it took to try this and share it with the world. You got this response because #1 Your version was great too #2 John's a great guy and #3 You impressed him. Congrats. That's a story to take with you forever.

Fully agreed. Others would have sued for copyright infringement... He just elevated the whole thing further. I am speechless!

One of the cooler things I've seen like this was when Linkin Park was gearing up to release A Thousand Suns, they did a remix contest for The Catalyst where only small snippets of various stems were provided and there was no explanation of how they fit together in the context of the song. It was so fun to hear everyone's interpretations of how the song might sound or how it could be twisted into another genre or another form, all without having the bias of hearing the original in full. Pinegrove did something with their last album where they posted the chords and lyrics and asked people to cover the songs, weeks before they were actually released, which was cool too.

I could swear she had to hold in tears a few times, and watching that level of joy in another is everything. What power in music!

Fun! The synth in John's song evokes 1980's Steve Winwood for me.

John sending you the song to react to, sharing your version on his insta, and being so celebratory of you as well as asking for your opinion is such a John thing to do, I love it! I love both versions of the song, and am glad they both exist - and that musicians like you two can remove ego and just make great music, and celebrate each other. This is so wholesome!!
