  • Beautiful.

  • just so everyone knows, he's actually singing about the day his daughter will grow up and move out. (says a random from youtube)

  • @xvxtobyxvx Uhm, actually he says somewhere at a live show that it's "a break or maybe it's another kind of leaving". Still, this song hits me perfectly; you still love the person, but you respect her and lets her go even though it hurts

  • @DashSlashDash "or maybe it's another kind of leaving" you say? i think ol' jonny colty may be trolling us.

  • @xvxtobyxvx He wrote the song when his daughter was very young. Its about her growing up and eventually leaving. Check his website for citation.

  • @JilliBelle Actually I was making an inside joke/reference I think. I can't remember waht it is now so looks like it'll be lost FOREEEVERR!

  • I understand this song all to well.

  • seriously crying right now - i loved the song already, but hearing it to piano gives it more beauty.... great job

  • Its a pity I cannot watch your hands as I was going to be trying to use this as a base for my own cover (Including vocals). That said, this is beautiful and has given me the hope that I might be able to achieve similar.

  • This sounds gorgeous <3

  • Very good cover!

    Kudos to you!!

    Is it just me, or can anyone relate to the lyrics to the letter?!

  • I don't suppose that you can provide sheet music for this? That would be incredibly kick-ass.

  • Exquisite arrangement. With the piano accompaniment, this song becomes astoundingly beautiful. The acapella arrangement never really did it for me. Thanks for sharing!

  • Your arrangement makes it sound even more like Harry Nilsson.

  • BBSo lovely what you did with this! 

  • Sometimes it takes one of the of the saddest moments of your life to realize how to move on, and to take the perspective you need to grow from what you're losing.

    Listening to this song is always going to give me memories, and probably almost always going to bring a tear to my eyes, but it's also going to remind me of why I had to leave, and why it had to end.

    It hurts to remember the good times... but it's better than crying about the bad ones.

  • @jjfpeep Hang in there, DJ.

  • It hurts my heart so much listening to this that I'm actually crying right now.

    I never really got over her.

  • I've been dying to cover this, your video was so helpful! I'm going to be staring at your fingers for a while :D

  • beautiful song

  • i listen to this so much, it's so amazing i didn't know he could do a unfunny song this well :P i was so wrong....

  • Probably wasnt good to listen to when ive just been hurt by an amazing girl ;/

  • @RistolkWoW

    That is the only time to listen to it... If you -really- want to appreciate it. That, or you know that it's coming and that you can't stop it, no matter what you do.

  • i love this!! its beautiful:)

  • Absolutely beautiful!! Wow Great Audio too.

  • Exquisite arrangement, excellent work putting the two together, and, as always, an incredibly touching song that is added to wonderfully by the piano arrangement.

  • Comment removed

  • I love to listen to it when i'm doing my work, so peaceful

  • Exquisite and heart warming. ;_;

  • Beautiful! I was just going to figure this song out for piano tomorrow, when I found your rendition! Now I'll have something to base off of... :)

    Might I ask, how are you recording this? The piano comes through so clean!

  • My synthesizer can sample itself and save a wav file to digital media.

  • I see. What kind do you have, if you don't mind me asking.

    One of the problems I've been encountering since recording is getting a good sound quality. Pianos are pretty stationary, and the only one on campus is in the middle of a chapel, so I've just been using some camera microphones..

  • Oh. Ignore my original answer. I didn't realize which video you were asking about.

    I have a Rode NT1-A condenser microphone and an E-MU 0404 USB audio interface that I connect to a laptop.

    The music in all my other videos were sampled from my synthesizer, which is Korg TRITON Extreme 88-key workstation.

  • hehe no problem.

    Thanks!

  • Thank you Mr.Heather this is very beautiful =)

  • You should have more subs because of stuff like this.

  • Nice

  • Very very beautiful.
