wow!!

[qwerrtyy1]

notes?

[remnrone]

It sounds as though you are playing without a sustain pedal. Do you, and in which case, is it intentional?

[mattfwilson]

@remnrone Yes, I'm playing with a sustain pedal, however, it is a very light sustain.

[BrutalBecca08]

Beautiful 

[kyapello]

you're dope

[stupreme]

Holy shi!!!!!!!!!!! You're good, did you figure this out on your own???

[mattfwilson]

@stupreme Yeah, most of my covers I figure out by ear since most of the bands I cover don't release sheets for their music. :P

[stupreme]

@mattfwilson Yeah huh? I searched several guitar stores for a guitar tab book for any Decemberists album & got nada. You'd think with 4 or 5 albums they'd be popular enough. They are to me. One of my top 5 fav bands!!!

[annaalive24]

did you figure it out on your own?! because if you have the sheet music i would greatly appreciate it if you passed it along! :D

Very nice man. Very nice. It sounds just great. I love the interpretation of the awesome guitar riff at the 2:00 mark. ;)

i will get you laid if you make a tutorial. PLEAAASE. :)

[singingsavant]

haha...no chance you would want to write out a tab, eh? For me playing chord progressions doesn't really fly. Melodies I can handle...but when it comes to chords...yeah...

[ollieandvia]

please please please do a tutorial on this song! You play it beautifully and I would love to learn it. Thank you!

[MontrealxxLove]

Dude! i totally listened to this like 10 times! with my keyboard and my i pod playing! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!

[GooshTube]

Wonderful.

[mrblonde810]

Ok I listen to this so much that I want the audio for my iPod. Is that possible?

[Advancedgod]

@mrblonde810 There's many applications that let you download the audio of youtube movies. Google is your friend, as always.

[Xemnas677]

Holy... wow. I am in awe. Wish I could do that, but my piano's rather broken at the moment...

[mrblonde810]

This is really incredible!

[DariMarie]

This is absolutely fantastic! I will agree with what you said about Shara's part, but you did it wonderfully with just a piano. Beautiful awesome amazing and many other adjectives. <3333

[Sunnygrrl99]

Great cover, I love hearing the melody and guitar translated into piano, but this just doesn't have the same weight as the original. Still it does make an amazing piano piece.

[123letsrock]

any chance of a lesson?

[MrDescartes]

beautiful :)

[D3XT1MA]

This is just beautiful. Just listening to you makes me want to learn to play piano. I love it.

[elliottsmithxo]

Amazing interpretation. Gave me chills. This and Isn't A Lovely Night are my favorites from the new album, and they sound like siblings. I'd love to hear a piano interpretation of the latter. I'm staring at the screen right now trying to figure out if you're playing octaves after the intro. Heh.

Well done.

[mattfwilson]

Yes, post intro I play octaves for a majority of the remainder of the song.

[elliottsmithxo]

Thanks man. I appreciate itl

You capture the mood of this track so well. I'll have to check out your other stuff.

[macbaron4]

Outstanding. Thank you. I only wish the camera angle was positioned so that I could learn it by sight, as that's the only way I can play piano.

[bigal31891]

dude this is awesome. going to try and learn it by watching this. great job.

[Hoohaz]

Awesome, Ive been meaning to teach myself this song, i do it by ear so it would be a bit harder to do it all 0_0''

[Conker2212]

Very impressive, though I think the 'introduction' trill in Shara's part is wrong. The four note descending trill. Bit too low, I think.

Good though.

[mattfwilson]

Agreed. :-P Shara's ending was definitely the most difficult to covert to piano. Thanks for the feedback.

[teriyaki86]

If by "trill" you mean the four 16th notes in Shara's intro, it should be D-C-Bb-G. It sounds like it's being played as C-D-Bb-G. Not a big deal either way, and I agree that this version is impressive and amazingly accurate.

[apophis77]

I agree with teriyaki86, on both counts: both on the proper order of notes and on the fact that this is quite impressive. I would definitely put this on my mp3 player, and now I want to learn it myself on the piano.

[jackeddemon]

only a fag would play this on piano

[mattfwilson]

Encouraging.

[alecme]

Man i Give you all the props to playthis song by ear might i add (i may be wrong) but no matter it takes skill to do this dispite that one misstake you did :) you aced this

[hmtrussl]

Any chance you wrote this down as sheet music and I could get a copy? I love to play, but have absolutely no ear for it...

[xXAidenxGoesxrawRxX]

i just became a decemberists fan i love their music good job :]

do anyone know if anyone posted a video of the guitar part that follows?

[RippleMagoo]

Awesome job! Im so happy about how many people are loving this ablum beacuse its soooo clever and well put together it deserves being noticed! WELL DONE!

[moogooshupoop]

..guys please do us all the favor and stop using your sheet music like the fucking crutch that it is and and develop some musicianship and theory..PLEASE!

this shit is not mozart..i think a simple bit of ear training would suffice in this case..

[uscareme13]

any chance you could transpose this to sheet music? it would be much appreciated.

[anndreuw]

its just sincerely beautiful

[shakesbeer23]

Awesome! Where can we find sheet music for this?

[AnimaEngima]

Congratulations on another great one Matt. ^O^

[davethenewfie]

You are AMAZING! I tried playing along and I made it up to 1:18 but I can't follow after that. It would be so great if you did up the sheet music for this, or even if you matched the words of the song up with the notes of the right hand melody it would be a huge help. Keep up the good work!

[PartyCheetos]

fantastic job!

[andrefmbarros84]

Well done, another music I did not know but that does sound fantastic, great playing...;)
