Amanda Seyfried has gone viral for her absolutely incredible rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “California.”
Last night, Amanda appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show and spoke to Jimmy Fallon about one of her quarantine hobbies: learning to play the dulcimer.
For those of you who have never heard of a dulcimer (aka me), it’s an acoustic string instrument that you can play on your lap. It originated in the Appalachian region of the US.
And because Jimmy Fallon would never let a guest not do a cool thing on his show, he had a dulcimer ready to go for Amanda.
So, she checked to make sure it was in tune.
And began to play Joni Mitchell’s song “California.”
Guys…it just might be the prettiest thing I’ve ever heard.
Fans are absolutely crying happy, beautiful tears over it too:
Some people were even shocked at how stunning her voice is (and to those people out there, watch Mamma Mia!, I beg you!!!!):
Some are even hoping this gets her cast in a Joni Mitchell biopic:
I can’t wait to listen to this for the rest of my life.
