[silvermountaincreek]

[didighana1]

[harpsinth]

Your technic are that terrible "modern-pop striking the keys" ...

But the instrument sounds so good !! Is this a Spinnet isn´t it ?

Who is the maker ??

[jeremybdman]

So fucking amazing

[NoFacePlayer]

This... is amazing. Great job! =)

[ThePillowBoyfriend]

You realised one of my dreams...

Thanks a lot!... ^_^

[margarettheteach]

very well done!

[framedanddried]

Please keep playing.....that was without a doubt the best cover of blood roses I have ever heard from anyone on the net...you are amazing....

[mrneasa]

Any sheet music??? Why do you play this in a different key than the original??? I cant seem to find the ACTUAL sheet music. The only stuff I find is a simplified version of this song!!!

[CelticRaE19]

i want one



[amandaconda5]

I shaved every place where you've been boy.

[UBdevoid0910]

Did you play it by ear or with music sheet ?! Cos' I have the music sheet and it seems not to be an accurate transcription of the music, so I gave up trying to play this one, and I'm sad cannot play Blood Roses which is a kick ass to play...

[vhtsouza]

my favourite cover so far!

[cymbeli]

I'm singing with you...filling in the vocals :)

[Objectification]

YAY!

[oneimaginarygirl5]

fantastic!!!!

[sadakoprochichi]

Oh wow... perfect. People always butcher her tempos and rhythms, but this is stunningly accurate. Thanks!

~Lesser Mortal

[snelopy]

This is a damn near perfect cover. I love the harpsichord sound - I wish Tori did more with it.

[Boneaparte386]

[slatskatya]

awesome!!!

[barryframic]

this is the best version I have seen of this, well done. you know if you played this on keyboard and recorded it via MIDI to a pc, soooooo many people would love you!

[Tenifus]

I love this! And are you standing up and playing?

[meaning1]

This just shows that the entire piano family is truly magnificent. Excellent playing; the sound is so haunting, yet so wonderful.

[pckimackl]

This is really cool. You play so well. It's just brilliant. We love the sound of your Spinet too. Do you mind me asking what Kit this is and where your Dad ordered it from? We are thinking of building one also, and yours has a really nice sound. Yor Dad has done a wonderful job in assembling it and making it work so well!

Kind Regards,

Maria and Russell

[darkeyedtree]

I believe that it was a Zuckerman kit -- if you search the company on Google, I think you can view some of their products.

[1foreversedated1]

this makes it so much easier to learn by ear. :D i tried finding the sheet music for this, but all i found were a whole bunch of crappy versions. hahaha, i suppose it wouldnt matter if i had found any good ones anyway, since i cant read music. >w< thank you for posting this!

[tickedoffnow]

this is beautiful XD

[janotosinnumeros]

Wow, that's so accurate I'm dropping my jaw. I've been traying to get this song on the piano...I thought I was accurate :/ ...

[plurboy15]

How did you decipher all of the notes to this? This is literally SPOT ON.... no sheet music is this detailed. Do you have the sheet music written down? It's truly amazing...

[RasputnaViolist]

excuse my language but that's fucking amazing!

[disposition073]

Wow! perfectly done!

[nottheredbaron]

this is sick hot.

fuckin sick. <3

[Ashchethem]

I'm blown away... this is just amazing. Well done. :)

[Caphill0]

Great, great, great, great!!

[Caphill0]

Great, great, great, great!!!

[njrib]

I am impressed. You've made me appreciate this song in a whole new way, and shown me that, as a pianist, I still have so much to learn.

[bonkure123]

Whenever I hear this piece,

I think of an immortal man who can never die,

travelling travelling alone,

observing the world,

watch the world as they unite,

divide, embrace and till the day it all falls into ruin

[guiguilerennais]

really really good !

[clintdawley]

WOW! You burned that spinet down!!

[Witchywn]

Amazing!!!! Totally blew me away. Best Tori cover I have ever heard.

[snedlulu]

Absolutely amazing! Well done!! :)

[Hawkeyes711]

[theS70RM]

[Jolinare]

This is astonishing! Probably the best Tori cover on Youtube!

It would be great to see you post more here.

[utopirla]

PERFECT.

[ladyfola]

[ToriaMusic]

That was absolutely incredible :D

[TomDemian]

[grandmadeath86]

[uprzejma]

[darkeyedtree]

[somethingblue2u]

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing

[jotavandyck]

this is amazing! great performance, thank you for sharing it! :DDD

[sixthcrusifix]

That is SO FREAKING AWESOME!

[o0datura0o]

love this. kudos to you and your dad (for building it)

[VeyaMusic]

What can I say you nailed it! This is great art!

[TheJoshmire]

This is amazing! You've given it a much smoother sound, different to the recording, but that's what makes a cover! So... great cover!!

[guicravo]

Very cool music (although the lyrics (...) hahahaha)

Wanna play the harpsichord part too :)

In some moments it reminds me "Les Barricades Mystérieuses", by F. Couperin.

You're a great musician. Thank you for posting the video!!!

[tarnlake]

You have such an incredible talent, I hope you'll share more

[HelenaGray]

I might be related to you and that makes me biased, but you are awesome!!!!

[TomDemian]

makes me cry...

it's beautiful

[dobot84]

this is wonderful! are you playing this by ear? even if youre reading you have wonderful aural skills - this really sounds remarkably like tori - she'd certainly be proud! nice job

[darkeyedtree]

Thanks! I did learn this by ear, but it took a really long time!

[MikaTheBest12]

@darkeyedtree woaah!!!! this is simply perfect!

[plurboy15]

i still can't believe how incredibly close this is to tori playing.

[BloodRosesCry]

Beautiful!! Tori amos is a genus and you do this song in the perfection!!

[karadeniz24]

absolute genius Tori Amos is... i think now that i heard this i actually like it instrumental now:)

[ZeroPointLibra]

Wonderful :) Well done :)

[irishmaestro]

Nicely done. Also, I hate to be pedantic, but that's actually a Spinet. =)

[darkeyedtree]

Thanks for the tip!  Is it the fact that it's smaller?

[irishmaestro]

It's the shape, actually. Harpsichords are generally long (shaped a bit like a piano) - whereas this is triangular, and it's got what's called a bentside, making it technically a bentside spinet. =)

[chriswales19]

Superb !

[mark902]

wow. that was really great. usually you see covers and it like, oh, well, it is the same song. but this was great.

[earswfeet29]

gorgeous instrument, gorgeous playing :)

[earswfeet29]

gorgeous instrument, gorgeous playing :)

[HunterzMusic]

i absolutely love this instrument! its very beautiful. especially the inverted key coloring.

[TO220740]

Amazing... Excellent job on such a great song. Where did you purchase that instrument? Way to go.. Keep it up

[darkeyedtree]

Thanks! It's my Dad's; he built it from a kit.

[ggboot]

This is awesome! Great job!

[earthen79]

Awesome job on an awesome piece of equipment :) Keep recording vids! :)

[dktaba]

amazing!

[plurboy15]

oh my god. you play it perfectly.

[stareleades]

You honestly do not know how jealous

I am , I'd kill to be able to play one let alone find where to buy one that isnt like 20k and in America only :(

[MissMiriam1987]

Gorgeous :) Thank you very much for this version!

[yanetzin]

thisis fantastic! really very well done, there are so many notes..

I might sing to it, if I do I will send you a pm..

[nothingbutmeat]

Don't worry about missing notes, it was still brilliant. The harpsichord is the only instrument that does this song justice.

[xx902]

fantastic.

[gouliegirl187]

Well done! I have always wanted to hear the music without the singing just to try and catch the notes...although it looks difficult, one of my favorites. Thanks!!

[zemonsta]

Awesome!

[tojupiterandback]

this is so great, i wish i could play it like that, i can't even play the part after she starts singing

[wbarreguy]

Wonderful. :-)

[josie421]

<3 <3

[ToriAnneSchriver]

BEAUTIFUL!

[ForgotMyPassword69]

O: This is awesome!! <3 Makes me wish even more that I had a harpsicord XD

[HernanEvan]

wooow beautiful!

[JessicaClark]

WOW!! Good job!

[ProgressivePiano]

wow. you've got some great skill playing that harpsichord and yes it's brilliant.

[WTLF85]

Wow, even Tori Amos can't play this anymore.

You are really gifted, you've found almost every single note.

A very good job!

I'm waiting for more stuff ;-)

[JessicaClark]

What makes you think she can't play it anymore? :(

[WTLF85]

I think that Tori lost her skills... she can't really play as she did back in 1996...

:-|

[JessicaClark]

Hum, that's to bad. I saw her back in '07 and she was just as talented to me. She doesn't bring the harpsichord out on stage anymore, but she still rocks the piano just as well in my opinion.

[JessicaClark]

Hey where did your post go?

Yea, I'm not a big fan of the keyboard effects either but you don't think she rocks the plain old bosendorfer either?

I think she was aiming for the 98/99(?) version.

[wbarreguy]

Agreed. Tori Amos has no problem playing piano, keyboard, or harpsichord like she "has the devil in her" as she once said way back when. :-)
