An unusual interpretation of "the sound of silence" by Holly Henry that i like very much. It is a very theatrical presentation of this great song. Voices singing, whispering, haunted/dreamlike voices, a chorus that sometimes sound metallic, generally Henry and i guess some other people (?) there do wonderful things with their voices.
To listen to this cover use high quality speakers or headphones, and make sure there are no sound sources around.

This is a small series of videos (3, so far) i uploaded that contains music from young artists that i heard for the first time on youtube and i like their music.

In the following there is a list of links for some more young artists.

I'll start with Sheryl Shazwanie who has a very smooth voice. In the following link you can listen to her singing with Charlie Puth (they use some kind of program to do that)

and in the next the link is preview of her own song "Friendship Starts With Hello"

A wonderful cover of "Summer wine" by a young singer called Mia May follows

The next three videos are just music, without vocal part (mostly).

The first is by the cellist Tina Guo that has performed in major concert halls all over the world and this video is one of the best i've seen (the colors are excellent in my opinion).
The song is called "Sakura" and was composed by D. Cullen.

Check also Tina Guo's Pulp Fiction theme with William Joseph & Caroline Campbell. She also uploaded a cello cover of the "Rain's of Castamere".

The second is a cover of the Lanisters Song "Rain's of Castamere" by two young harpists, Camille and Kennerly, the Harp Twins.

They two have performed in several countries. Their channel contains a lot of covers of known songs ( metal, rock and movies music usually), and an original song of theirs (NORTH (Original Song) – Camille and Kennerly).
Check also their video "VIKINGS Theme (If I Had A Heart) Harp Twins" where a bear appears during the video recording outdoors.

Finally there is a cover of the Game of Thrones theme by two young artists from India, Purnendu Mukherjee and Arghyadeep Giri. They play it using Sarod and Quitar , and i think it has a bass and kind of primitive sound of the Sarod fits this theme perfectly.
The title of the video is "Game of Thrones Theme Song Cover Indian Version"
