This is impressive as music, as art, as piano, as voice and as film. As a whole, it is a beautiful piece of work. The power of the pianist behind everything, expanding from a smoky circumscribed black and white circle to become the full color whole picture alone just before a goodbye shot tells its own story.
Mitchell's voice telling a different part of the story with silver tears that don't even pool, let alone fall is lovely as it jumps effortlessly from high to low and back.
beauty exudes from every pore. You're easy to watch, no strain in your vocals, all gorgeous in your face. Chris, your style makes me think of Richard Carpenter; Elton John. I'm subscribed
I'm sure you could do it. Just sit down with it and figure it out. That's all I did. It's great to get inside a song like that. Thanks for the comment!
I'm gonna OMG too.. What a great job you have done I like it BETTER than the arrangement that Joni does on youtube, I guess it's later compilation. Its all jazzed up....Lacks that clean clear unambiguous exposition....Not to take away from Joni and the beautiful genius she manifest......But you get closer to the original.....to the TRUTH of that sad song.. ..to Detroit...to...pretty lies...to Joni too.... Thank You SO much for bringing this to me...To us ALL !!
OMG you actually have done the impossible here and done justice to this amazing song! I wouldn't think a cover to "...Richard" would be possible, but you've done it! Amazing vocals and overall video effect. Congrats!
Beautiful tribute performance....love the replicate piano....the vocals....the face.... LOVE ....thank you. You 2 need to check out Laura Nyro ..... you'd fall in love all over again.
reminds me of being 10 years old and my older brothers would play joni,bob,joan you can guess the last names :P you really sound like joni. thankx again, you guys sound good together
Could you give me the piano sheet for that? it really sounds like original one and l have always wanted to play this song.

Been some time since I heard this song, cool rendition, very sixties, and has an air of Joni blues to it.
