Christopher O'Riley plays Elliott Smith- Oh Well OK

[bradshawvincent]

yes im not sure this works well on piano and without lyrics.seems he missed the point although ive got a lot of respect for anyone who can play the piano as its damned hard!

[jrmagic43]

I think some of the people who are saying it sounds nothing like Elliott Smith's song or who are criticizing the pianist I think you should appreciate the fact that he actually played a song by the most amazing artist and just because he didn't sound exactly like Elliott he shouldn't be looked down upon. I don't think Elliott would hate this version just because it's not the same as his, I'm pretty sure he would like it. I certainly wouldn't want to hear a song of mine played the same exact way.

The rhythm is limp. Misses the mark for me. Too bad.

WOW...

[dondempezar]

I just Love the ending, so Dark and rough. .

[TrevorKingKwong]

i actually found the ending to be quite pretentious...but i guess it's just a matter of personal taste.

[dondempezar]

:D!!

[marley404040]

It starts off good, but ends horribly... went way overboard.

[ICantAnswerYou]

Over-harmonized, at times way to dissonant and reeking of arrogance. I can't really see Elliott would have joined this, and i know i don't.

[ModestMousekateer]

is it just me or are some notes really off?

[sixxers]

Yes, i'm not sure if it's intentional or not.

[jenrostyle]

beautiful. i wish you could find sheet music like this.

[nicetattoostupid]

Look on his website, I coulda swore I saw it there-but its not cheap.

[strungoutandthin]

i love listening to home to oblivion and the radiohead tributes as i drive around portland.. perfect!

[neurotik]

hey look, its chris himself! great job there, i love this song, definitely one of my favs too.

[Barca87]

a great song. I like the passion at the end, but maybe a few too many notes for me. Thanks

[swansong6666]

yeah, it is reharmonized a bit, but still pleasing. not quite what elliott intended I'm sure, though a worthy effort.
