Truman Sleeps (Philip Glass)

[BTWWTFBOOOOM]

Es ist schwer so ein schönes Stück schlecht klingen zu lassen aber ihr habt es echt geschafft und ich hab mir beim zuhören wahrscheinlich ne Frankophobie eingefangen :( echt traurig das manche Leute diese Version zum ersten mal hören und ein schlechten Eindruck vom Lied kriegen

[meheh]

too much cymbal... I do like your version of it, though, and especially with the added voice of the conductor...I know it's a practice, but I like the voice in it. :)

[Tosslandais]

Arrêtez le massacre!!...

[totti01992]

this video shows that it's possibly to destroy the wonderful original

[manorack]

LOLLL X 1000000  EXACTLY

[MessengerForte]

not to my taste but well performed and arranged.

[Lokakuunmaa]

Mixing sucks. Was there any?

[implorato]

strange interpretation

terrible jazz trial

Josti band homp

[ButterflyInGlassMaze]

I quite like that interpretation. Just needs a little polishing.

[Cld65]

terrible rithmic...

[MacKiwi15]

awesome! You played it beautifully!! :)

does any1 know where i could find sheet music for this???

[andmattyc]

this is really quite bad, those cymbals are shocking, especially being pitched. this should be left to the original piano part!

[blower1]

terrible!and that drummer lol,whats with the cymbols lol,leave them alone!!

[EricTheRed03]

Maybe it was his first video and he was nervous.

[WillySausage]

I find it to be quite a smooth transition from the original! It sounds like something Explosions in the Sky would do. Very nice :)

[juicyphilip]

what a crap!

[WrinkleReleaser]

they did ruin this song, the only cool part was their jazz improv part at the end

[moonlitesymphony]

The jazziness of this seems forced. Up until then the percussion seemed forced and entirely unnecessary. Brushes probably would have helped too for that matter.

[bras07]

omfg this is horrible

[forette4ever]

SHIT

[bing9o]

this is SHIT it ruined everything-.-

[vikoros]

bravisssimi

[SynapsenFick]

ihr habt aus solch einen schönem stück einen solchen mock gemacht... das kann ja nur aus frankreich kommen!

naja der kern hat seine schönheit bewahrt

[cazaj69]

Drums ruined it for me. at the begining anyway

[JayEffW]

truely - even though they might just be too loud. If you play reaaaaally gently and turn up the guitar and piano... ? :)

[wopper35]

why the worst thing that you ever heard... I think you can't do better?

[koscheii666]

it's just his/her opinion.  Free will's a bitch

[etmanano]

its the worst thing that i've ever heard

[SilentShinai]

I like your interpretation of the piece. The first half reminds me of Radiohead.

[pietsen]

damn i don't like the drums

[laurent059]

quel massacre l'horreur arreter de plagier comme ca pour detruire bande de naze c a chier vous devriez avoir honte

[danielringao]

plagier quoi?

[moonmoon63]

i disagree. i think the simple chords used to make up the song are catchy, but are in effect pretty mundane.

[incrediblub]

Agreed! I wish everyone could see this. Catchy progression doesn't mean cool music outside of the pop world. Phillip Glass is in the same category as Jon Schmidt.

[crazywales]

Philip glass is an amazing composer and has studied under some of the greatest composers. GTD13447 obviously has only heard about 4 or 5 of his pieces. being a performer i can assure you that alot of his pieces are incredibly technical and difficult to play. Although i have to say that the people in this video do ruin a good piece. ( the drums mainly ).

[rankin9ct]

fun fun fun - I loved it!

[musicvideo291]

nice try of changing it into rock, i can't think about it before, Great Job!

[macMajorD]

Bass alone was too much at times... Loved the Jazz break. And Philip Glass can create interesting pieces Examples are: "Heroes" and the "Low" Symphonies. Course who cares it's only Rock and Roll but I like it. Hahaha

[manilakila]

Haha. Where do you think post rock took its influence from? Classical music will always be a higher form of music than post-rock.

I actually dug the piece.

[cleomagoolando]

I agree, but Philip Glass is not at all representative of anything that's good about classical music. He's a disgustingly pretentious hack who's never learned how to say no to his own self-gratifying impulses and his half-assed compositional choices. I would never lump him in with the loads of other excellent composers who made (and continue to make) 20th century classical music so amazing and unprecedented.

[GTD13447]

I agree. Philip Glass is a pathetic excuse for a composer. Any fool can do it. Pick four chords and make them roots (Not 1st inversion or 2nd inversion, that's too complicated). Then repeat over and over and over again...

[cleomagoolando]

Bingo. That's the big secret to his supposed musical genius. Simple chord progressions have plenty of dignity, yes, especially when you see how effective bands like the Beatles were with utilizing this to their advantage. Glass's stuff just sounds lifeless and about as forced as music can possibly get.

[xMissyRachox]

and the world is not flat ( obviously )but chumps thimk its so simple after the fact.

[GTD13447]

This music should never have been discovered. Terrible harmonies, no emotion and it just gets drummed into your head untill you want to cut your own head off.

[weefeatures]

I think that you believe that in order for music to be good, it aught to show off the composers technical ability. You forget that music is something people want to listen to, and most of the best songs are the ones that are kept simple. u might just be annoyed that this composition is way below the peak of your technical ability, but he came up with something a lot of people like. can you say the same?

[Shanethefilmmaker]

Rock came from more than classical music, it came from the blues, country, and Jazz.

[cleomagoolando]

I hope you guys know that post-rock bands all around the world out-compose Philip Glass in his own boring style, so this is really like watching a hackneyed post-rock band. If music is your life, you'd be better off doing anything besides this crap. Nobody in the video looks like they're having any fun at all and the jazz section has no vibe whatsoever.

[danielringao]

Thanks for your sugestion(???).

Why don't you put up some music of your own so we could se exactly what are you talking about?

Pleas keep me posted. Thanks. Daniel.

[cleomagoolando]

Last I checked, 'comments' sections are places where people can criticize things. I'm not trying to start some kind of my-music-your-music cockfight here. I just think that you guys could be dedicating your musical abilities (which I'm not questioning) to music that's more dynamic than Philip Glass's. His work is just too damned emotionless and skeletal.

[danielringao]

I don't think we can put all of Philip Glass's work in the same sack. This song specificly is not a good example of Philip Glass's music. It has a nice melody and I like it. What I mean is that I don't really care who is the composer and all the other stuff he did. I care about this one piece.

[val0em]

dont listen to this retard the music was amazing keep up the great work :)

[deadleather]

i didn't like the bass. But everything else was good.

[mishaco]

experimental. that's what it's all about !

[mangakareikiartist]

it seems like two pieces to a puzzle that dont fit together.

either way, it was awesome.

[FrancoFX2]

Bass to high... and in this song , as Earaem said.. drums don't fit

Sry mr Drummer... but there are some songs you just dont fit =)

[Earaem]

Indeed that was a smart and nice vid.. ..but i have to agree the drumer doesn't truly fit

The pianist, though, is very cute ! =)

[omabuub]

i like the guitars, the drumms are also well combined, but it´s just not a song to combine with a drummer, it´s great, but not praticall

[Kikextreme2]

Felicitaciones Chicos, es un Buen Video
