@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
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.
Exquisite arrangement. With the piano accompaniment, this song becomes astoundingly beautiful. The acapella arrangement never really did it for me. Thanks for sharing!
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.
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.
Exquisite arrangement, excellent work putting the two together, and, as always, an incredibly touching song that is added to wonderfully by the piano arrangement.
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..
Beautiful.

@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.

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

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.

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.
