Exile Vilify Cover - The National

[deepstarsix]

Now that is one nice looking piano, all shiny and.. CHARLIE!

[Fendarion]

...and further x hours to learn the piece itself. At all. No I did not say I learned it within an hour. Because it wouldn't be true.

[Fendarion]

Ooooh it's almost done isn't it. GREAT JOB! And do not EVER apologize for the vocals. For me, it took an HOUR to learn to sing and play this piece at the same time and it's still not perfect. :D

Stay tuned for Fendarion's version, currently under construction. Should be up here in a day or so!

[Kantasan]

Haha my dog's name is Charlie :)

[Humyoutouchmytalala]

Piano : Nice

Voice : Bad

[mariojacksonmoonwalk]

@Humyoutouchmytalala I'd like to see you do better... Her voice is fine

[compdude47]

Your piano sounds out of tune.

[QueAwkwardNoises]

Amazing cover. I love it. Subbed.

[B1aKWoLf]

haha was that guinea pigs in back ground... btw awesome!!!

[markleycrew2009]

Can i use this as a sound file in my video? please

[MoostacheFarmsPro]

Amazing piano skills! It's very amazing! ^w^ I just needed to ask you something...Would it be alright if I used some of your piano playing footage? I wanted to make a Music Video for Exile Vilify. I'll even credit you. Would that be alright? I'd really appreciate it. =)

[AlexandraKlemm7]

@MoostacheFarmsPro Sounds cool! Show me when it's done!

[blackbelt481]

You are infectiously talented my dear. Much love from Renton, Washington!

[ExplodingCakes]

@blackbelt481 I agree! From Seattle, Washington. :)

[117raph]

Well I have the MIDI file, if anyone would be interested... ;)

send me your e-mail

[ApprovedByJesus]

@117raph only piano? cuz id be highly interested in drums... just the basics.

[117raph]

@ApprovedByJesus

...sorry :( yes, i'ts only piano.

[Fumaseraph]

who is this person behind the angel voice?

[DerHellRazor]

Holy shit you have a voice girl :D I LOVE the harmony's you've added into this. Something I think you could work on is dynamics and possibly missing a few notes and build up. This is a depressing song, so it all doesn't have to be there at the start, but you could add more and build up to anger at the end?

That's what I'd do. Awesome stuff!! You better keep making videos :P

[Jayhem117]

This is amazing! :)

[nicktube333]

cmon please do a tutorial, ive already learned most of it but its impossible trying to figure out these chords pleeeeaaasssee pretty pleaseee with a cake on top [:

[AlexandraKlemm7]

@nicktube333 It's been up, dude.

[nicktube333]

@AlexandraKlemm7 oops O.o

[kolmats]

Nice Job! This song is so pretty! The best part was the singing!

[macsgotgame]

Overhead video of you playing this? I could learn it in about an hour if I knew where to start. ;)

[waosixniner]

Very nice voice. I was surprised. Don't be afraid to project.

[CoDDeminator]

AMAZING cover. You are very talented. Keep up the good work!! Great voice aswell :)

[wcability109]

nice voice

[MrChameleon95]

guys, just google "exile vilify sheet scribd" Thats some sheet music i found (right before the google results for exile vilify sheet where only questions "OMG WHERE CAN I GET IT???"). It's the first result you find and in my opinion it's pretty good.

[lsaul95]

What are the chords? :)

[dotShinoda]

:D It's awesome

[panchociarer]

you have great hands to play piano

[whomeverisnotreal]

Awesome! Love love love this song, can't wait to hear the rest of it sometime!! MOAR VIDS!

[pyrom100]

This song made me wish I hadn't given up Piano years ago :(

[Happypast]

@pyrom100 Begin again! I stopped playing years ago but about a year ago I started again. Now all the pressure is gone and all that's left is fun! :3 (I'm not that good tough but hell, I don't have to be!)

[pyrom100]

@Happypast I might, once the pressure of school is over. Also took up guitar about three years ago. TO be honest, I cant remember much about my time playing piano, I was about 5 when I started, lasted for a year or two. Could probably pick it up again though fairly quickly.

[JamesWrenWaZErE]

I really want to learn this but I fail at reading sheet music, can't wait to see the tutorial.

[Benmorphz]

Tutorial please!

[bdarling87]

it's pretty easy by ear. I've got the first part down :)

[squeezeslemons]

very nice cover, and all by ear? craziness

[reviloguy]

Anyon know where i can get sheet music for this? Btw amazing cover ;)

[pepisnazos]

(L) Im learning to play piano, I hope some day i do it like u do^^

[Zi0in0]

Nice

[SuperCute8D]

Omg I want to learn this so bad but I'm horrible with sheet music. You said you'd be uploading the tutorial soon so I guess I have to subscribe to you! Please, please post the tutorial, it's such a pretty song <3

[Zeconski]

Such passion, such grace! Shamefully we never get to see what pretty face must be in hiding behind such a marvelous voice, and sadly the tones of the piano overshadow the song. Regardless, a true delight to hear, that is one heck of a voice you've got yourself there. Good luck in your future endeavours!

[Katdude180]

spaaaaaace! I heard this song in portal 2 and know im trying to get my sister to learn it :P

[hornattack]

Do you happen to have the sheet music for this? Or write it? I can't find it on the internet! (Just saw your comment above about how you learned it by ear lol. Oops)

[Hilieh]

You have the chords ? :D

[TheParaxore]

I love how this is posted right after portal 2 gets released. LOL

[itscalledfutbol16]

i think one of the chords is a tad bit off. But its still a great cover :D. And i too will also be awaiting your tutorial lol

[Alwayswatching2]

Somebody transcribed sheet music;

dl.dropbox.com/u/8326975/Exile­%20Vilify%20Tab.pdf

[extrovertigo]

@Alwayswatching2 The link doesn't work, it says 404 error. Any ideas?

Still planning to do a tutorial for this, Alexandra? It sounds great! :)

[emmalols]

This is pretty awesome! :) I'm trying to learn by ear too but I kinda suck so I would also be pretty interested in sheet music or a tutorial~

[wededlol]

You're a really good singer, and obviously a good piano player, but to be honest i don't think your voice suits the song, you don't put in the emotion that the original singer does...

also, what was your dogs name at the end there?

[icygumball3000]

No one throw the combustible lemons at this person's house.

[FengShuiEngine]

This is great, hope you post a tutorial up! :)

[brianak100]

longer version please



[Gabricokun]

I love your voice.

[Anbrad43]

Nice voice :D

[Sakounette]

My guess for the start, according from what I hear in the original:

D#m F# B G#m

Then: D#m G#m F# (x2)

G#m E D#m (w/ F# bass) F# (x2)

For the variation (at the end):

C#m B G#m D#m

C#m B G#m F#

[SolanineDelta]

This is beautiful. Please, PLEASE upload a tutorial.

[kinshin15]

Good work. We're done here!

[SKILLEDxASSASSIN]

Right when i played this, a portal commercial came on. WEIRD

[markusidelev]

tutorial plz )))

[VoidHawkz]

Tutorial! ;)

[disarm25]

I really like your voice for this song, not to bash the original but a female voice just fits so well

[leetdragon7]

god i cant fucking wait till you post the tutorial

[tiffpietiff]

Can you, like...WRITE sheet music? Or chords? Or something?

[ThePiersonettes]

Dear god please post a tutorial. Or at least an overhead of the chord progression. My piano is out of tune and it's driving me nuts trying to figure this out.

[AlexandraKlemm7]

@ThePiersonettes I plan on uploading a tutorial-like video after I've worked it all out. You can probably expect it some time next week! Thanks for watching!

[ThePiersonettes]

@AlexandraKlemm7 SWEET! Looking forward to it. Thanks so much!

[Vaskis4life]

@AlexandraKlemm7 please please please do! i'm trying to figure it out but i suck at piano so i'm having trouble...

[Pe0ads]

@ThePiersonettes

I think the piano is in tune, it's just that it's been recorded in mono, which always messes piano up for some reason.

[thebigreddog90]

The right hand is playing all sharps, in no particular rhythm,

D#, A#, D#, G#, F#, D#, C#. Chords are easy to find, and as far as I can tell so far the right hand is simply staying within them aside from the melody.

[toyboxhay]

Portal 2! :D Awesome playing and singing! Was trying to look for a "How to" for this song...and came here.

[Teagonmo93]

:)

[Hellhunter120]

Gah, I need a piano tutorial for this.

That aside, I like your voice and excellent playing ^_^

[IisCrazyFool]

You have a great voice you just sang kinda off key. Good job though I cant wait to learn it.... or at least try

[NarrowHomerJay]

Can you please do a lesson

[pieman4545]

@NarrowHomerJay or even just a different view to see what youre playing

[LookItMoved]

wow! you obviously have a great talent!!!

[LookItMoved]

wow! you obviously have a grat talent!!!

[hefletpakard]

nice work

[Promptfish]

do you have sheet music? this is excellent :)

[AlexandraKlemm7]

@Promptfish Thanks! Sorry, learned by ear, so no sheet music.

[charlestwoo]

that was very nice
