honest keys
Добавлен 13 янв 2024
Hi there! I produce piano recordings with minimal editing and maximum rehearsal to authentically showcase each performance.

As I arrange and play by ear, most of my recordings don't have sheet music available. If I’ve written one for a video, a link will be in the description.

honest replays - Let It Snow | 2020-12-24
I’ve recently moved and currently don’t have access to an acoustic piano, so for the time being I'll be sharing old recordings of mine through this "honest replays" segment. These recordings were originally audio only, so I’ve paired them with simple slice of life footage to hopefully make them more interesting...!

This version of "Let It Snow" was a gift I made for friends and family for Christmas 2020.

Just Like Chet - Laufey | Piano Cover
Просмотров 495День назад
It's been a while since I played something by Laufey, so I hope you enjoy this piano arrangement of her song "Just Like Chet." The song itself is inspired by the late Chet Baker, another favorite musician of mine. I'm about to move to a new place where I won't have a piano at least for a while. I'll probably use this time to upload some older recordings, work on new transcriptions, and start a ...
Félix (Je suis centenaire) - Thomas Fersen | Piano Cover
Просмотров 65Месяц назад
Voici ma reprise au piano de cette belle et à la fois amusante chanson de Thomas Fersen, qui célèbre la joie de vieillir. After discovering this song on a TV5Monde program last year, I always thought it’d be a fun one to play someday. As honest keys, besides playing "honest" unedited music, I hope to introduce you all to songs I genuinely enjoy, even if they’re a bit more on the obscure side, l...
The Place Where Lost Things Go | Piano Cover
Просмотров 972 месяца назад
Most of us probably know the feeling of suddenly losing random things, whether it's a sock, a shirt, or a pair of earphones. One moment they’re here, and the next, they’ve disappeared. Sometimes, I get the funny feeling that they’ve somehow drifted into another parallel dimension. This song, written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, captures that feeling that I get, though in a much more poeti...
Emoji of a Wave 🌊 - John Mayer | Piano Cover

I cycle through phases in my music listening habits, and right now I’m deep into a John Mayer phase, once again. Hope you enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed learning it 🌊
Remember Me (from Coco) | Jazz Waltz
Просмотров 2734 месяца назад
Hey everyone! I’ve missed practicing, recording, and sharing videos with you this summer. Today’s song is "Remember Me" by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Ever since I first watched Coco years ago, this song has been one of my favorites. There are already many versions of this song on RUclips, so I decided to try something new by turning it into a jazz waltz. It was much more challengi...
Moon River (for Sandra) - Henry Mancini
Просмотров 7455 месяцев назад
Every now and then, I pick up the guitar and try to learn something new. I remember one of those times a few years ago when I searched for guitar renditions of my favorite song, "Moon River." I stumbled upon Sandra Bae's version after having listened to a few others, and immediately stopped looking further. Her arrangement was stunningly beautiful. Recently, I thought of the song again and trie...
L'amour, les baguettes, Paris - Stella Jang | Piano Cover
Просмотров 6156 месяцев назад
Une chanson trop belle de Stella Jang. Je l'ai découverte il y a à peu près deux mois et elle est vite devenue une de mes chansons préférée en français. Ce qui est vraiment fou, c'est que la compositrice n'est même pas une française native. Je trouve ça vraiment inspirant~ And yeah, to continue the sound quality story from my last video's description, I think my Zoom recorder is really having s...
A Night To Remember - beabadoobee & Laufey | Latin Piano
Просмотров 8 тыс.7 месяцев назад
My take on this super awesome Latin tune by beabadoobe and Laufey! Something weird happened to all of the recordings I did for this song that made them all sound super resonant. I think it was either my room's acoustics or my recorder (I hope not!!). Fortunately the best take (this one) is also among the least resonant so I hope the sound quality is ok!
Cinema Paradiso (Love Theme) - Ennio Morricone | Jazz Improvisation
Просмотров 6428 месяцев назад
Ciao! Questa è la mia interpretazione di un classico del maestro Ennio Morricone. Recording the improv section for this was tough because I tend to mess up when I also have to accompany myself (without a band). One day I would love to record this with a bassist, which would allow me to focus just on the improv. As it is right now, it's probably best looked at as a proof of concept. I also wrote...
J'ai 18 Ans - Rose | Piano Cover
Просмотров 6059 месяцев назад
My cover of this beautiful and deceivingly simple song by Rose. The main melody contains very few notes, which also means it can easily become stale if we're not careful. In the original recording, one way that Rose addressed this problem was by varying the rhythm a lot, which I also tried to do here. The song also feels to me like it's in 6/8, even though it's not. The lovely lyrics talk about...
Like The Movies - Laufey | Jazz Piano
Просмотров 22 тыс.9 месяцев назад
My arrangement of yet another future jazz standard by Laufey! It was pretty difficult to get right and I must have done a hundred takes to get this one (which is still far from perfect) On another note, I had my piano tuned! However, the technician must have also done something that left my sustain pedal really creaky now, which you can hear in the recording :( I will contact them again and hop...
How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees | Light Reharmonization
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Sheet music: www.patreon.com/posts/how-deep-is-your-111513480 My arrangement of this iconic song by the Bee Gees. Though I made up an ending for this recording, when I play this song by myself, I usually just keep playing forever because there's not really an ending in the original and it just creates a seamless loop.
Stop This Train - John Mayer | Piano Cover
Просмотров 34910 месяцев назад
There was a time in my life when I would just grab the guitar and play this song for hours on end. This is my attempt at recreating John Mayer's signature pluck and chuck style on the piano. On the technical side, I tried not to play too many notes at a time to better emulate the sound of a guitar. The left-hand part, though simple, was surprisingly difficult for me because it consists of repet...

Beautiful ❤ have been following your hand to play for few days, looking forward for the musical sheet 😊
Thank you 💕I'm working on this sheet at the moment and hopefully will get it done before the end of the year!

Oh wow
This is beautiful I’ve never needed sheet music more in my life 🙏
@@ethanross5105 thank you ❤️ I'll try to get to it at some point
Swore I'd seen you before Watched you walk through the door Something in your eye Reminded me of somebody I used to know You touch my back I took your hand Something from your touch felt shockingly familiar And I'd swore I'd seen you before Oh, I swore I'd seen you before Underneath the sheets, you enchanted me And whispered sweet nothings in my ear I shivered beneath you All wrapped up in embers It was a night to remember Then I walked away You asked me to stay Well, you're thinkin' of what could've been But you've become someone I've seen before I swore I'd seen you before Underneath the sheets, you enchanted me And whispered sweet nothings in my ear I shivered beneath you All wrapped up in embers It was a night, enchantin' night To remember
So nice 😊
i know this is my third comment but i just love this do you play by ear?
@@Sunny-ke1ie hey, no worries I love the enthusiasm! I'll try to answer all of your questions here: my piano is a Yamaha upright U3. I don't think it matters that much though -- this is the same piano I've used since I was a kid. Yes I play by ear. I don't think I'll have time to write this sheet music soon, but maybe next year :)

Hey! There's no sheet for this one yet, but it's on my todo list. So far I've only done "Valentine" and "Amore mio aiutami".
@@honestkeys Thnks, I just learned your Valentine arrangement and I liked it so much that my mind told me I had to play this one. both amazing arrangements, thank you very much!
This made me cry its so good seriously i wish i could play like that wow
Thank you so much! :) It always makes me really happy to hear that people connect to music emotionally
nahhh id die to see you do live perfomances 😩🙏🏻
Thank you! Hopefully one day!
I love all your videos, I'm here every time a new one comes out, and I loved this one too!!! <3
That means I won't have to worry about getting 0 views on my videos ^_^ so glad to have your support!!! 🙏🙏🙏
i love your covers!!
Yay thank you!!
Wow, really good job my friend!! Your piano sounds really cool as always, cant wait to see you play some Beethoven!^^🎸
Thank you! For now I think I can only focus on covers but never say never ^_^!
U literally make my favorite covers on RUclips and have such good form good job and keep it up 👍
Thank you so much! I"m more of a theory/composition person so I've never actually been too confident in my technique xD
@honestkeys I know exactly what u mean cuz I'm also a really big theory and composition pianist, not as good as u but I still like to improvise all songs I learn and I've never been entirely confident cuz I always feel like there's more I could add or stuff to remove. But keep doing what ur doing it's incredible
@@richhernandez2441 always great to hear from people with the same background! Good luck on your musical journey too!
You should play bored by laufey, I think your style and song preferences would go perfect with it
It's a great song! Hopefully I can get to it at some point!
goes insanely hard
bros cookin, good luck
Thank you!
🔥
This is so good! And awesome you're playing by ear!
Glad you enjoyed it!
