Sydnie Christmas and Grant Higgins: A Heartfelt Cover of “Make You Feel My Love”

Sydnie Christmas

In 2015, Sydnie Christmas and her friend Grant Higgins recorded a stunningly simple yet deeply emotional cover of Adele’s “Make You Feel My Love” from a humble setting—live from a cabin. The production was stripped back, with the audio captured directly from the camera, allowing the raw beauty of their performance to shine through without any artificial enhancements. The result is a beautifully intimate rendition that captivates listeners with its sincerity and warmth.

This live recording, though lacking the flashy set designs or elaborate stage production typical of modern performances, brings something far more powerful: genuine emotion. The simplicity of the setup only highlights the strength of Sydnie’s voice and the heartfelt connection between the two musicians. Both Sydnie and Grant are clearly passionate about the music they’re creating, and this cover is a testament to their skill and chemistry as artists.

The song itself, originally written by Bob Dylan and famously covered by Adele, is a powerful ballad about unconditional love and devotion. Sydnie and Grant’s rendition, though simple, resonates deeply as they give the song a fresh, personal touch. The stripped-back production allows their voices to take center stage, each note felt and communicated with raw emotion.

While the performance may not have the grandeur of a high-budget music video or concert stage, it’s precisely this unadorned approach that makes it so special. The authenticity of their connection, combined with their stunning musicality, makes this live recording of “Make You Feel My Love” one that will stay with listeners long after the final note fades. For Sydnie Christmas, it was just another example of her unique ability to make a powerful impact with nothing more than her voice, a guitar, and a simple cabin setting.
