Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek" Piano Cover

[hano0k]

thumbs up if you thought the piano closeup at 1:46 made this all very dramatic.

[Ledmaster2]

This................... This video should have 500 million+ views. Someone......spread this gospel of sound across the interwebz that others might see the light!

[MrDouglasp94]

this is sick i love it

[corperalbeast]

gorgeous!! =D

[SileSomers]

asfsjflakfheosofj too beautiful <3

[123corven]

ps 77 people are probably in hell right now

[123corven]

i think i am in heaven @____@ so amazing wait am i crying?

[capnquack]

You need to adjust your recording settings a little lower. It keeps peaking really bad. Also use your pedal a bit more - the chords can't all go at the same time. Not a bad rendition, just some technical things would make it far better.

[gherkinfantastic]

At 2:28 (when you start assaulting the piano with your talent,) THAT'S my favorite part

[gherkinfantastic]

Listen, dude. I will NEVER know how you got this song to work on a piano, but you made it work, and it is TASTY.

[lon3lyaznikka]

I'm a girl and you just gave me a boner

[azuremily]

oh my god, so good.

[olafmydog]

this song rox i luv it!!!!

[fireviper7]

Looks like 77 people were dropped on their heads when they were babies

[JustBecauseCause]

AHHH im so happy hahah! I love you Aj. funny story. I was just looking around for videos of this song and i clicked on it and i was like "WOW that guy looks like.... oh wait YAY!!!!!!!!" Haha love you! You are such an inspiration to me :)

[HOLLIKAT7]

U have given me happy tears.. -holli

[JoutTHEordinary]

Dude you've got a god given talent. Don't ever stop, this is beautiful!!!

[mwhite5990]

Amazing! Definitely the best piano version I've heard.

[ChelseaShambley]

love how you don't even look at the piano... like it's no big deal. I hope I'll be able to play like that one day :)

[KimKarrholm5001]

75 people don't want to play hide and seak

[ninfoot182]

Beyond amazing :-) I love it...good job pal....so beautiful

<3 Ashley

[mauiboynokaoi]

I listened to the first part of this and thought it was gonna be just another abuse of grace notes and rolls. But I have to say I did actually enjoy the heavier transition at about 1:35. The only piece of advice I can really give here is to add more dynamic and tempo contrasts to such a technically unimpressive song as it seemed most of the song was at the same tempo/volume throughout.

[pandappotamus]

@mauiboynokaoi rich

[jmillz99]

Imogen heap should add this piano version into her album;) beautifully fantastic!!!

[mclasala]

75 people have no musical ear

[unleashyourmind]

can you say INSPIRATIONAL. <3 i loved it :)

[Ilikecoffeeandmusic]

damn dude, you're really good. Awesome cover.

[blondeegirl16]

that was amazing

[AubiJoe94]

hey what are the chords you played? i would really love to know.

[mauiboynokaoi]

@AubiJoe94 Chords to Hide and Seek are 1-5-6-4 for the verses and 4-1-6-5 for the hook at the end. In its most basic, that's C, G, Am, F and F, C, Am, G respectively. In this adaptation it looks like he's playing in the key of G so it would be G, D, Em, C and C, G, Em, D. From there you add the melody and add your own flavor to the piece.

[NDawgHoyt]

Damn, one mistake at 3:04. (that I could see)

I hate it when I'm almost done with a song and I make a way noticable stumble, I've done that in a concert before. >.<

Still, absolutely incredible. I wasn't sure what I was gonna think when I saw a piano cover to one of the hardest acapella songs in existance, but you pulled it off beautifully. :)

[msjaelaRenae]

AMAZING :)

[ShiekahTribe]

Very very nice :)

[hhaarrddssttyyllee]

dude, whe're my ears? IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!



[jthoov]

dude the piano intro was so fucking nasty. amazing man.

[casualsharpiee]

hmmmm cutie! :)

[Peacheyxxx]

@TheWazzupDood on top of the piano perhaps?

[slimjimzquinn27]

whoa! you made that jazzy. nice

[craftb8]

@tomwom51 is a Justin Beiber fan and doesn't realize it.

[Nazala96]

Its obvious that 70 people were so awestruck they accidentally pressed the dislike button. What they were really trying to do was like and then restart the video. See? I just cleared up that whole misunderstanding. ^_^

[TheLiv50]

YOU ARE WONDERFUL! :)

I love this sooo much!

[JSwann3104]

TUTORIALL!!

[UareOreocrazy]

That was beautiful.  I loved it!!

[JaveyKins]

awesomeee.

[karino]

love it!!!

check out my cover if you get a chance :)

[tomwom51]

Why does everybody say on every video that when there is a dislike it is from a Justin Beiber fan? Yes I'm not a fan of his music but that doesn't mean I go around hating on the kid. If you don't like him, Don't listen to him. It is a much more effective way of showing you don't like him

[amazingloozar]

@YearsBehind ... um sorry to break it to you, but no they really don't.

[katrinajosefina]

@amazingloozar lol hes talking about the 68 people that disliked this.

[YearsBehind]

68 people prefer Justin Beiber's musical talent.

[mugenjin1986]

pre ang ganda ng cover mo

[dainismichel]

to clear up the "note high thing," this was played in something around G major, but the original version is in A. great rendition...very good job.

[shashiL0ve]

This is absolutely phenomenal! You are an amazing pianist. You should seriously consider doing a tutorial. I would love to learn your rendition of the song.

[boojwahz]

dude, this is really good. faved.

[GreySniper17]

... wow, amazing :)

[Leviatan24orangemail]

I am sorry to tell you, but a think you dont see a difference between PIANO and FORTE.... But its still quite good .)

[daisyhinojosa23]

love the peace sign in the beginning! :D

[rrpauldoran]

Best cover, simply because you add your own style and personality to your piano playing, unlike most of the covers here on YouTube that are so bland, plain, and generic.

Keep up the good work.

[ImprovSF]

great job ~

[12345678910hithere]

u were aquarter note to high but very very good :)

[JewClawClan]

@12345678910hithere ...what? A quarter note is a measure of beat, not pitch; How could he have been a quarter note high?

[Cheetahstar2]

@12345678910hithere

What does that even mean? XD

[Aerosmith589]

He did it by ear.

[kateperforms98]

do you have a sheet music version or was it just by ear?

[grayandgray]

Lots of people can play the piano well, but some, like this guy, have the gift beyond that.

[dizzle91roxmysox]

Great cover, I really wish I could play the piano.... especially to that song@@@

[azclawson]

You ARE insanity!!! 8D

[123corven]

Are you philipino?

[roblesames]

Nice!! Congratulations...

[fizmo100]

Wow - that was such a powerful version - I love the way you play, thanks for sharing!

[xXxrainbowFreakxXx]

wow this was amazing(:

are you filipino??

[DavidB5501]

It sounds good, but I notice he's playing it in G major, which is easier than the original key (A major).

[itscalledfutbol16]

OMG 67 PEOPLE DONT LIKE THIS?!?!?!?!?!?? WHATS WRONG WITH SOCIETY THESE DAYS??!?!?!?!?

[nannersishott]

that was beyond words!!! I would love to have that sheet music!!!

[CupCakeAreYummY]

[TheHoIIister]

"You make me wanna say oh oh oh , oh oh oh , oh oh, oh my God."

[SoggyWetDog]

Brilliant... different key to the original, but brilliant nonetheless. It's amazing that you did this by ear - and since theres no sheet music, maybe you should make a tutorial video? I'd love to be able to play this!

[twilightgirli]

[melimunchh]

great job! is it a hard song to play on the piano?

[tomheli]

wauw and that all by ear

BEAUTIFUL

[MidAbsentia]

There is only one word for this: WOW.

[comprehensivemuskrat]

Very nicely done, although piano isn't the ideal instrument for this song because it can't crescendo long tones, which is part of what makes this song so beautiful.

[imjustachillin]

Nice playing, pitty about the sound from the piano.

Please don't take this the wrong way,

I just think it would sound so much better on a good piano and recorded on better equipment.

You got talent but you are only as good as the quality of the instrument you play.

[omelettecrap]

@qlutxangoi your message is so confusing.

[swimsuitparker]

better recording and i'd be downloading this right now

[xAnGeLMiRaHx]

[TheKellybellyjelly]

[DieNathy]

I really love how you find the the good-sounding middle between copying the song 1:1 and making a total different song out of it. Plus: I never heard a good piano version of this song except of yours^^ nice one^^

[alarmingsilence]

This is really amazing. :) You're gifted.

[thejukebox705]

hello from germany

you're pretty good. love your style but i think you should use less grace notes. they are beautiful but they lose their effect if you play too many of them...

[sophiemadg]

marry me! holy shit!

[indygofire]

Man, this version brought me to tears! Brava. Immy would be very touched I'm sure.

[EjectTheReject00]
