"Fireflies" is Track 1 on David Baron - Piano Covers album

Hey guys,

Really excited about this week's video! I recorded the piano, guitar, and vocals each in 1 take, then Bob Bryan (yes, that Bob Bryan) edited all the video together. Huge thank you to Michelle Alvarez and Bob, who can now ad cameraman and film editor to his ridiculously awesome resume.

I think "Fireflies" is an uncommonly beautiful modern radio hit, and in my cover, I wanted to break down the song's arrangements to show how the music and melody could shine on their own without any of the original version's production flourishes (which are amazing in their own right, by the way). I'm psyched with how it came out, and think Bob's really cool video edit does well to show how this cover was conceived.

Oh, and next week's gonna be a doozy.

- David

  • @mhoef19k

    you are out of your mind. While i actually like the original versions instramentals better because of its techno pop sound, this guy here sings it fa better. Owl City does a horrible vocal job. Kudos to this guy for awesome vocals

  • amazing how the weight loss made Jonah Hill look, apparently he plays piano as well

  • Marry me?

  • The musiciants are brilliant.you have a very good voice but some times not in tune. Fire flies is not your number ....

  • your other covers are good but yeah this one sucks

  • stick to the piano mate ;) your voice is shit

  • Good Job! But I think you need a slightly higher key. When you sing,"planet earth turns slowly" (0:58) in one spot, it's too low for you. Thank you!

  • you sound like youre trying to sing it 70s style

  • Singing is something that can be discussed whether he sings good or not, I personally think he sings good, but what the fuck dude. How can you possibly say he's a bad guitar player, when you have only seen him play, what he needs to play? Ridiculous.
