this song is extremely sad. the lyrics, the whole feeling of it. ben gibbard sings with such emotion. i dont get emotion from you. you play well, but you need to immerse yourself into the emotion and feeling of the song. you need to imagine that you are the narrator, that the love of your life is dying. come on! feel it! in your "i will follow you into the dark" and "passenger seat" covers, i didnt get emotion, either. i'm sure it's there, but it is not translating to me. make it so!
I think it was a bit faster than the original, but a great cover - this is the first piano cover I've ever seen on Youtube, if only the rest of them will be half as good I won't be disappointed. And congratulations, too !
@INSigotem No, you're ears are just tricking you because the bassline (descending at that point) causes one to perceive the pitch to drop even lower than the actual note and C and E are a major 3rd apart, (which is very common harmonically). So it may sound like it goes all the way down to C, but it is definitely an E. Kudos for caring enough to be skeptical and test me though.
it was a tad fast, and project your voice a little more. You have a good voice i can hear it hiding, bring out to the open where it belongs :D and please upload a newer video, i would love to hear the progress!
Beautiful.... If you could please redo this, a tad bit slower. You seemed rushed. If you could sing any louder, and slow it down, I'll gladly post an MP3 of this, since you're so amazing at singing and piano. It's simply beautiful. I congratulate you.
Piano was amazing. You went a little fast, but understandable. You voice was good for multitasking, but you seemed dull, quiet, and nasally. Sing more with your throat than your nasal passages, breath with your diaphragm for projection, and feel what you're singing. Put more emotion behind it, this is a very emotional song.
Too fast I Held You Closer, feel the words coming out of your mouth, let the song breath...............you've got some skillz, but you gotta feel it sister!
that was excellent piano and singing talent, i love this song for what its trying to say. As you've probably heard, you were going a little fast (the actual song is 6 minutes long) but that was impressive, you should post a video of transatlanticism, or boston by agustana, that would cool for your talents. two thumbs up!
It's too fast. As you already know. But really you should try to project more. Your piano skills are amazing but I can't hear your voice as well. It's pretty but I can't hear you.
My only comment is meant to move you toward further greatness: Slow down. Savor each note. Make people wait for and anticipate each upcoming phrase. Dread the end of the song and play like you never want it to come.
And always remember--the music is found BETWEEN the notes!
You're cute, but the tempo is wack, youre too quiet and overall just wasn't that good .
you have potential but meh.
