haha, please do a tutorial? If you can't figure out which chords and notes are being played (as they're being filmed pretty damn clearly), you won't be able to play the song this way anyway.. Cossins has a point, practice!
What always amazes me about this song is that by rights shouldn't be able to last the 6 or 7 minutes it does without getting boring or repetitive but it's just too beautiful to ever be boring.
I was thinking about doing this song and would see if anyone else has done it. Now I'm not so sure, seems like there's nothing more to be said about "piano cover re: stacks"!
I play piano fully by ear as well, but for people who play by the book or who play by watching it's difficult for them to pick up. If you against a tutorial maybe repozition the camera and play it a bit slower so they can see how your playing it. People Learn differently..
@BonIverSUCKS Your youtube name is BonIver Sucks... Really, like why are you picking on her, if you don't like him fine, but don't pick on someone who likes him. Everyones allowed to have an oppinion
please do a tutorial! i think this cover is beautiful and i want to learn it to play for my school performance, i'm really nervous but this song is just amazing!!!!!!!
I think this is absolutely lovely! I miss my piano that's covered under piles (stacks, ehe) of boxes in my parents storage room. You captured the silent loveliness of the song in this version. <3
to everyone who's asking for a tutorial...... it's shot from this view, so that it's visible what keys are being played, making it somewhat easy to figure it out. just pause it every so often, and it shouldn't be too difficult, assuming you have experience with piano.
The sparceness of the chords really make this brilliant, normally piano covers of any song, the player goes overboard trying to mimic the melody of the voice but you nailed it here. Nothing terrible about this at all! :D
Ugh... You say crappy when it's good. You could just say it was a piano version and nothing else so you don't sound like a down-on-me hipster. Great piano playing, jackass.
This is by no means crap !! I've listened to the album and every guitar version of this you can think of and this is easily as good as any that Justin Vernon himself plays ! It's just different is all and thats not always a bad thing if you ask me.
This is lovely.. part of me wants to hear it on a grand piano in a huge hall, and another part argues that it sounds perfectly understated with just an electric piano and is the reason for it's magic.
Spellbinding! And if you dont believe me i even went to the bother of resetting my account just to tell you that. The expressed feeling is so strong...and that is what music is all about after all.I love this song and you have given it a new life for me. I hope you gain some more confidence in your amazing talent soon : )
Simon, this is an absolutely incredible cover of Justin's song. I know him and an going to make sure he hears it. You lived and breathed that song through your hands. Use your gift. Reach out to people with it. I am nearly speechless. Thank you. Thank you.
This is so beautiful! If I should get married once and if I had to chose a song for the marriage it would be this one played on the piano. You play it brilliant and I'm absolutely amazed! If you have this song recorded please send it to me. It's too precious not to be heard out of my stereo :] .
this song is beautiful no matter what and it's great that you were able to express it in another musical form. it's really not as terrible as you think. thanks for sharing! i love it! :)
This is absolutely amazing... I don't know what your talking about. Probably one of the best piano covers I've heard. And plus, if it's not a piano song, you totally just made it one!
This is so lovely. I commented to a friend that you and the piano offer clarity that really shows how beautiful of a tune Bon Hiver wrote. Your skill, the expression of your heart through your fingertips, is amazing.
this video is absolutely amazing. a friend of mine showed it to me after we both discovered this Bon Iver song, and I almost cried haha. which is rare for me.
that was really beuatiful, it's so rare to find something on here where someone has invested so much care and tenderness. you have such a light touch, your playing fills the gap where the lyrics would be.
This is the best cover of Stacks on youtube. You play tenderly, the way it should be played. Thanks for sharing and go Denmark!! my father's home country.
