It has been a couple of years since Dani and Lizzy has touched our hearts with their beautiful song, “Dancing in the Sky.”
It was written as a song of mourning and tribute, and people have expressed their own feelings by singing it in honor of their lost loved ones.
The whole trend started back in 2013, when Dani and Lizzy uploaded the original for the first time.
The sister’s internet fame started when Dani (Danielle Nelson) uploaded a video of her singing “Dancing in the Sky” in front of her computer, a song that she wrote together with her sister Lizzy (Elizabeth Nelson).
It was meant to be a tribute to their close friends who unfortunately passed away, but then they decided to share its wonderful message with the internet.
On the strength of their performance, these sisters have been recognized all over the world—and they’ve now become renowned musicians who keep sharing their positivity through their creative songs.
Since then, a lot of people have attempted to cover the song—and that includes this pair, who sang their own version just a few months after Danielle uploaded hers.
Listen to how these two individuals made the song sound even more special!
A singer from San Antonio, Texas named Clifton de Leon collaborated with his friend Colette to sing a cover of “Dancing in the Sky.”
The song meant a lot to them, since they both have people who were special to them who passed away. Colette sings this song specifically to address her father, as well as her other friends and relatives who have died.
Clifton set the mood with his melancholic guitar picking.
The song kicked off with Clifton putting his fingers to work on the strings, building up the right mood for the sad song.
Colette patiently waited for the tune to loop around and started singing when the timing was right. When the time came, she started whispering her angelic voice into the microphone.
Everything sounded heavenly with Colette sending out the chills with her cold and soothing vocals while Clifton strummed his hauntingly beautiful chord progressions.
Needless to say, the pair perfectly expressed their feelings as they performed.
Colette and Clifton brought the song to an even more emotional level, one that anyone could feel.
Their performance was captured in black and white, but it was clear that they brought vibrant color to the performance. Colette could not hold back her tears while recording and the welling of her emotions didn’t stop until the song ended.
Since it was posted, their emotional cover has brought tears to the eyes of viewers all around the world.
Listening to their cover makes it easy for anyone to catch the same feelings as them—namely the sadness of loss and the relief of letting go.
The video of the performance was uploaded on Clifton’s YouTube channel where it racked up 2.3 million views.
