  • type in repeat after "youtube" in the url to repeat :)

  • Fantastic!

  • A+

  • This is my favorite piece by Jon Brion. I wish this melody was revisited in other parts of the movie, but it was just one short part...maybe it was a smart move to not overuse it.

  • best cover/medley of this song! i really hope you do a longer version of this! and i really hope for the tutorial too! :)

    Thank's for sharin'

  • Great!!

  • THankyouthankyouythankyou for doing a longer, lovelier version than others on the web

    One minute really isn't long enough....

  • So beautiful.

  • Thank you for doing an extended version of the Elephant Parade. I'm really grateful for this.

  • this song just fits so perfectly with eternal sunshine. and you definitely played it beautifully :) great job. makes me tear up, this was def jim carrey's best "love" films aside from his comedy, even though the movie was a pretty funny too but more serious.

  • Great !

  • wow

  • please don't stop playing broskie....the love of "eternal sunshine" characters will forever be in my mind...but i'll give you my view of the movie right here..(which is truth)...He loved her while he was losing memory of her, she only realized she loved someone when she was reminded of him....(elijah wood) *saying "i'm trying to be friendly!" she knows who he was to her, and she tries to get him back...But he just got her recently erased so he had no clue to who she was... LOVE LIFE PLZ

  • 6 morons! Fantastic piece!

  • @jazincky

    I agree. THE PUBLIC NEEDS THIS SHEET MUSIC.

  • "...i wish i'd stayed..."

  • how happy are the blameless vestal's lot

    the world forgetting by the world forgot

    eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

    each prayer accepted, each wish resigned <3

    this is my favorite movie of all time, i never get tired of watching it.

  • Can anyone figure out the notes he is playing with his left hand during the main melody?

  • Clementine: This is it Joel, It\s going to be gone soon.... Joel: I know.... Clementine: what do we do joel?? Joel: Enjoy It!!

  • Aaahhh it was awesome but what about the last line?? you played it in the middle somewhere but it was in a lower register :(

    "bum buh duuuuh dee dum (bum > bum > bum...) tweee doop"

  • amazing

  • this is perfect.

  • sin palabras !!!!

  • Can somebody make a tutorial for the PHONE CALL song or BOOKSTORE ??!!!

  • I fell in love with those hands. you are awsome

  • beautiful! can i request you to make a Tutorial video for us amateurs too, please?? i'll be really grateful to ya if ya do, thanks!!

  • beautiful! you are so good!

  • so is this song on the "Eternal Sunshine" album? which track is it?!

  • @SlantieBean

    read the video info dude.

  • I just felt in love...

  • this is probably my favourite movie soundtrack ever. the music is so beautiful. this is was really well done!

  • Wow. Good job. I'll have to learn these by ear as well. No matter how long it takes me, I MUST learn them.

  • will you caress my hands with yours..... will you? lets do face paintings.. and go ice skating. and a long ride at night

  • could you please write down the chords?(:

  • Comment removed

  • Could you write the chords?

  • really beautiful

  • Bloody fantastic.

  • you made it perfect

  • beautifull

  • Thumb up if you had goose bumps!

  • Thanks for your cover ! This melody is really deep !

  • Wow, that's a really cool mix of the two songs. I've really hated that both Peer Pressure and Elephant Parade were so short. It's difficult getting in the right mood, when you're listening to them because of the lenght, so it's awesome that you mixed then and turned into a "normal-lenght" track, good job! But I feel that you're sometimes a bit of, so maybe you should get the sheet music to make a perfect version! :)

  • damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.... this is wonderful!!

  • Sos Grande!

  • "You said "So go" with such disdain y'know?"

  • 4 people dislike this....... that's 4 more people on my hit list

  • jesteś odjazdowy :) just ducky

  • This is wonderful.

  • Excellect job! Did you make it longer somehow or play it through twice? The original is only 1:13. I really like your cover, and how you blended it smoothly with "Elephant Parade." Love this piece.

  • almost makes me cry, feeling strong emotional response, it's beautiful

  • THIS IS THE SHIT :) GOOD SONG :)

  • Favorite movie of all-time!

  • wow, thanks for sharing this with us! i always wanted to see these songs together and extended--seriously, it's wonderful.

  • cry :)

  • An absolutely beautiful arrangement. I love those two pieces so much. This is exactly how Jon Brion should have done it in the first place. Thanks for posting it. :-)

  • I wish I could put this in my ipod

  • @modelefresh U could download the video and then transform it into mp3;) I used xVideoService Thief.

  • Comment removed

  • it's just AWESOME

  • i just cried

  • brilliant. love how you lengthened it.

  • i love it !!!!!!

  • WOW! MAN!! This cover.. it's... it's... WOW! ha ha ha.. I love this song, and this cover it's better the original, really!! *__*

  • you played that exactly how i could have possibly wanted it to be played.

    both those songs are far too short for such beautiful pieces.

    thank you, really.

  • Beautiful! Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this? I really want to learn how to play this on the piano.

  • this is beyond awesome

  • really really amazing <3

  • That was so pretty...

  • Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for posting this.

    Much better than the 26 seconds that we get on the Jon Brion track. :)

  • amazing <3

  • the elephant parade was played when Kirsten Dunst was reciting the Alexander Pope quote that led to the elephant parade in Joel's memory.

  • which song from elephant parade is incorporated with esotsm? I'd like to know so I can look it up :D

  • I believe your thinking of "the strings that tie to you"...

  • oh okay thank you :]

  • AMAZING ! ♥

  • Unreal man! I loved it,I listened to it over and over.

  • Thank you for Elephant Parade.

  • It was nice

  • DUDE!!!! this is fucking amazing!! how did you figure this out? please tell your secrets. i would give more stars but i can't go over 5 lol.

  • One of the few songs that (almost) always makes me cry! Thanks for sharing your version.

  • @ironcountry almost holding as I read it

  • fucking amazing

  • 1:20ish on is off on the right hand. no offense meant. just wanted to let you know.

  • wow. This is the first time I have EVER bothered to write a comment on Youtube. Alexander J Smolowe, this is beautiful. x

  • Yeah if you could make up a tutorial/chords for that, it would be GREAT! a lot of people love this song, and even though I've tried to mess around with it myself it hasn't really worked :S

  • Comment removed

  • peer pressure and elephant parade are my favorites. this is amazing.

  • would there ne a way just to write the notes and such that you play and email them or whatnot? It is truly a beautiful song

  • Amazing, simply amazing

    i love you for putting this together.

  • 10 stars!

  • Amazing !!!!! congrats. Love the movie and the soundtrack

  • You compiled the two of these songs so well, it's amazing. i often listened to peer pressure and elephant parade back to back, I admit. Too beautiful.

  • awesome stuff man. wish it was this fleshed out on the soundtrack.

  • I need to learn this sing so badly!!!

  • absolutely amazing-yes, so simple, but such an impact. I defenitely agree

  • brilliant joel

  • Absolutely beautiful song and cover.

  • i feel that the simplest of melodies have the strongest effect. Claire de lune is another technically simple song to play but yet is beautifully complex.

  • SHEET MUSIC

    PLEASE

  • The best ETSOTSM-video so far. No useless video effects, not spending 90 % of time working in video-SW as the others do. Just your own skills. Musically good performance, makes the wholle spirit of these original 30 seconds last much more, even without damaging it. THUMB UP!

  • Great song awesome playing,I was gonna ask if you could do a tutorial haha but judging by the previous comments that doesn't look like such a good idea haha

  • This melody never fails to make me tear up. The whole soundtrack is absolutely brilliant.

  • Very well said. Listened to this song for the first time, and it is absolutly beautiful. Very well played too.

    ;)

  • wow, sheet music?

  • i've been trying to find it for days.

    not working.

    let me know if you find some.

  • for sure.

  • That was beautiful. You're beautiful.

  • I love you.

  • there is no sound more adorable in the world than this one

  • :( :( :( very nice

  • Beautiful playing! And an excellent selection. I really liked this film, and the music has a simple yet lingering quality to it...dreamlike, just like the subject of the film.

  • My two favorite songs from my absolute favorite movie.

    Great job...I needed this tonight.

  • hermoso!!!

    escepcional

    excelente

    tocas muy bonito el piano!!

    felicidades

    apunta a cosas mas grandes

  • ámazing song... gorgeous

  • He says "But it's Not a tutorial, try to change that", It was a play on words, like if my friend wants to see a movie, and I reply 'But it's not a comedy, lets change that'. I'd be implying that I'd rather watch a comedy. So Skaman007 is suggesting that AlexanderJSmolowe make a tutorial.

  • ohhhhhhh i get it... then i most certainly agree skaman007!!!

    thanks for the clarification matty

  • Anytime. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk in my explanation. Have a good day, and a wonderful life.

  • haha nah you're alright. funny how you say 'have a wonderful life'... just two souls passing each other in this big world. take care :)

  • Poetic. Nice.

  • so have you tried learning this song through the other dude's tutorial?

  • No, I'm actually in the midst of writing a song with my friend. It's nothing special,but it's OUR song, and that's what makes it what it is.

  • Absolutely Sublime!! (But Is Not A Tutorial, try to change that)

  • where does it say tutoiral?

  • He was subtly suggesting that he make a tutorial.

  • ...... where?

  • nice job man.

  • ahh best 2 songs from the soundtrack well done

  • this song is incredible.. well done

  • im totally into this video! listen to it almost every single day!

  • Btw, great job on the video.

  • loved it!

  • Bravo! Loved it man,thank you very much man.That was awesome.

  • Just back the fuck off you moron, maybe not everyone is looking for a goddamn tutorial. He played this song really well now give him some fucking credit instead of bitching and moaning that you can't do it yourself and he made you look like an idiot.

  • haha wow, you really hate this video. whats your deal

  • Beautiful. Good job!

  • Great piece. Loved the movie. Darlie would love the movie almost as much as I love her.

  • Beautiful

  • I love you Ruth.. This is our song

  • Ruth Laskin?

  • which would you like, i would pefer ruth but i can be flexable

  • That was fantastic. Thanks.

  • Thanks for the input, friend.

    Also, you messed up on some spelling. You should work on that.

  • The cover sounded good to me. Better than how I play it, so just stop being a cock.

  • i could definitely tell where you mixed the two songs together and you did a good job of it. i did like how you extended peer pressure a little too.

  • i like that, because it's longer than the track in the album, and you played it as good as the official version.

  • Its been weeks, I belive I speak for all youtbe people that we want a tuorial. Please make time. Also, the movie captures of the things we mis out on the orld, Tutorial on peer pressure. Thats all. Etc.

  • Like I said. When Me + Piano&Camera = In the same room, I'll do a tutorial. Until then, English please.

  • thank you

  • awesome

  • great great job!!

  • what are the notes for this song???

  • wow

  • omg...even though you said this song was simple....i just think it is a combination of some of the most beautiful sounds i've ever heard!!! i think that sometimes the most beautiful things are the simplest things! what a beautiful song! <3
