Many bands have taken on the challenge of covering this classic since it’s 1964 release, some of which even putting their own different spin on it. The band Disturbed has a well-known cover of it, with a heavy metal sound juxtaposed alongside the sweet ballad style of the original.

Jadyn Rylee takes on the style of Disturbed, in a way, moreso than the original. She utilizes the heavy metal bands background music, and the singer’s vocal stylings. She truly captures the heartfelt emotion of the song, with her young but promising vocals and dedication!

Jadyn opens by vocalizing along with the piano background. Like the song, she is very no-frills. It is simply her and her lovely vocals with the background music, matching the scene of her dressed in a simple t-shirt with nothing but a microphone and a black backdrop.

As the video progresses, Jadyn’s style of simplicity never changes – she lets her vocal pipes say everything for her! A few scenes show another talented young girl on the drums. She is playing along with great talent as the song’s crescendo builds. The two make quite a fantastically talented pair!

The song closes as simply and as lovely as it began, but anyone watching it likely has a different feeling than in the beginning. The song’s haunting track has remained a hit for generation after generation, and these two young girls have truly done it justice! Check out the video right here:
