I'm subscribed to your other channel and I just chanced upon this video. It's nice to see that someone else appreciates a good song when they hear it! Excellent composition, though I feel that the song is a too mechanical without the vocals and I get a completely different vibe from this than I do from Alanis' version. I'll definitely be checking out your other vids now!
> though I feel that the song is a too mechanical without the vocals
It's true that a melody on the piano can't match the expression of the human voice. (Many of my other videos are of me playing blues harp -- and the harp is a lot closer to the human voice: one of the closest of all instruments.)
wow thisis so good! did u have sheets or figure it by ear? oh never mind just read the info and saw u arranged it? even more amazing!! thanks for the awesome music :D
> are you going to post any new Harmonica videos up? I hope so...
Right now my focus is on finishing several video series for my two author channels (ToddAllenGates and ToddAllenGates2), and several more piano videos. I haven't played the harp for a while now ... but thanks for the request--it gives me incentive to start practicing again!

Yes -- I couldn't quite capture what the band was doing, so I came up with an arrangement that I thought sounded right for solo piano.
> even more amazing!!
TOO kind!

Hi Kbkushalutube.
My arrangement of this song *might* be a little complicated for a beginner, but the chord progression is simple:
VERSE = back and forth between a B7 and an E minor
CHORUS = back and forth between an A and a B7
Best of luck!
