In both versions of the song (this and the original), they both give of an overwhelming sense of hurt in a way. But while in the original it's channeled through rage, in this version it's more passionate. Almost like the music itself is crying out. It's sad but beautiful at the same time. This is my favorite AILD song brother, you did it right. 👍🏼
Yes. This describes it, theirs a lot of hurt in this song and in this version we get to hear its tears, we get to feel its pain and it's a beautiful thing
This sounds so powerful and sad. In the sense of attempting to rise and triumph over a most difficult obstacle, and the feeling of succeeding, only to realize that there's an endless amount of impossible tasks that lay ahead. And remaining unsure if one should carry on when you know it is meaningless. Perfect composition. Your music depicts stories sir. Thank you.
Thanks Tim. This was one of my favourite tracks to work on. It translated so naturally. Fun fact - I actually began working on this cover during a late night thunderstorm. Haha. The heavy rain and lightning provided the perfect inspiration!
So utterly beautiful. Throughout all of the fury of the original, laid the backbone of this rendition. Blessed is he that can find such peace in chaos.
***** you are briliant, genius and your music sooooo beuatiful. i'm so thankful you do cover for As I Lay Dying. please cover Underoath, please, please... :)
+Sean Townsend Would you bother if i try putting some vocals into it? I was listening to this great cover again and had some ideas, but of course... if you're agree
This is so beautiful it sounds like it could be a very emotional soundtrack to an equally emotional videogame (pokemon reborn to give an example), absolutely wonderful job man and it makes me appreciate the original more as well
You cannot start hating on this beautiful band for maybe a misdeed of their lead singer. The band has 5 members and if you loved their music there is no reason to not still do so.. As always Sean excellent work and I hope we listen more from you! :)
Thou art a legend to be foretold for the ages hereon and after. May you live long and prosper for the years and years to come, and the years and years to go. Your pieces have always been satisfying to one's ears and will always be as long as you keep doing what you are doing. Well done, and stay enticing.
i have been listening to a bunch of music from this guy for the past hour and have not heard 1 bad song from him dude seriously keep it up you're really talented
As of right now, this is my favorite to turn on to help me fall asleep. maybe because 5 and 1/2 minutes is usually the right amount of time, or maybe it's just the one that sticks in my mind the most.. Plus AILD is my favorite
Unfortunately I cannot support a band I detest so sternly, but what you can do to such a song/band is utterly amazing. For me, you form something I hate, into something I love. You have a skill unlike most. Please keep it up and do more regularly
"Confined" Yeah That night that I never came home Wandering souls captured my thoughts Emptiness filled my mind Urgency spoke her lies In the confines of these grey walls I watched them move together Taking me places I cannot remember (remember) We have been poured out Into a loveless bride How quickly I forget That this is meaningless How quickly I forget That this is meaningless (Yeah) In a world passing through my fingers I still chase the wind How quickly I forget That this is meaningless How quickly I forget That this is meaningless Yeah What have I learned from yesterday? What have I learned from yesterday?
Unbelievable, this is beautiful. If anything I would love to see my younger sister learn this and play it for our family. She's so talented! Do you have the notes?
What can I say other than what everyone else is saying? Another beautiful cover Sean, your choice of pictures was also perfect (reflecting the rainy environment from the Confined video) It's amazing to see someone who has the courage, determination, and skill to make such stunning piano covers. Where do you get those pictures from!!??! 1:40 and 4:20 were particularly mesmerizing =) ~Nabil
Hearing it on piano makes me really realize how amazing this melody is

Deeply appreciated Logan. Glad I could do it justice
Yes. This describes it, theirs a lot of hurt in this song and in this version we get to hear its tears, we get to feel its pain and it's a beautiful thing
I think that goes for every As I Lay Dying song.Greatest band ever in my honest opinion.
What Logan said...and Sean is magical
I’m with you 100%. Mr. Townsend did this song justice, as is his apparent mode of operation.
This is just as intense as the original but in a completely different, very original way. Love it.
Being quarantined with this, seriously makes things all better! Thank you sooo much!

Been listening to this rendition for years, its just simply AMAZING
It's amazing how the images in this video represent how beautiful this cover is. Thank you for this.
I come back to this often. My favorite A.I.L.D. song. Both the original, and your interpretation, are masterpieces.
Thanks Tim. This was one of my favourite tracks to work on. It translated so naturally. Fun fact - I actually began working on this cover during a late night thunderstorm. Haha. The heavy rain and lightning provided the perfect inspiration!

This is simply brilliant.
Almos got to tears.
It really transmits the feeling of the voice.
Congratulations and sorry for my poor English
Nelson Rodríguez Thank you Nelson. I appreciate the kind words. Be blessed my friend
***** you are briliant, genius and your music sooooo beuatiful. i'm so thankful you do cover for As I Lay Dying. please cover Underoath, please, please... :)
+Sean Townsend Would you bother if i try putting some vocals into it? I was listening to this great cover again and had some ideas, but of course... if you're agree
+Nel You have my blessing
This is so beautiful it sounds like it could be a very emotional soundtrack to an equally emotional videogame (pokemon reborn to give an example), absolutely wonderful job man and it makes me appreciate the original more as well
Five years later, still love this just as much, if not more... than the first time I listened. Sean Townsend is brilliant.
I almost made it through without crying. How quickly I forgot that this is meaningless...
anyway of getting sheet music for this. amazing cover love both cover and original
Why do six people dislike someone's take on this.
Regardless if he missed a note, is off key this should NOT HAVE six dislikes.
Phenomenal sir!
I've put this on repeat, fine work.
You cannot start hating on this beautiful band for maybe a misdeed of their lead singer. The band has 5 members and if you loved their music there is no reason to not still do so..
As always Sean excellent work and I hope we listen more from you! :)

i love Sean Townsends music so so much 💖 . i listen to it every night to relax after a long day and it helps me fall asleep !
As of right now, this is my favorite to turn on to help me fall asleep. maybe because 5 and 1/2 minutes is usually the right amount of time, or maybe it's just the one that sticks in my mind the most..
Plus AILD is my favorite
Sean, if you could, do Morning Waits 🥰😍❤️
I think it's my favorite song of theirs of all time. I just don't know how it would translate into piano.

"Confined"
Yeah
That night that I never came home
Wandering souls captured my thoughts
Emptiness filled my mind
Urgency spoke her lies
In the confines of these grey walls
I watched them move together
Taking me places I cannot remember (remember)
We have been poured out
Into a loveless bride
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
(Yeah)
In a world passing through my fingers
I still chase the wind
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
Yeah
What have I learned from yesterday?
What have I learned from yesterday?
Unbelievable, this is beautiful. If anything I would love to see my younger sister learn this and play it for our family. She's so talented! Do you have the notes?
Wtf is this sorcery?!!?!
This is fan-fucking-tastic work!
Somehow you make awesome songs sound even more awesome. Keep it up.
That would be amazing! I would also love to hear that cover
Your best creation
Thanks Ian. Glad to hear you enjoy my work.
Fantastic. The band themselves would be very proud to hear this I think - maybe you should tweet them this or something!
Thanks. Feel free to share it with them

Will your covers ever be available on Spotify along with your originals?
Hey Alex. Unfortunately I can't put my covers on Spotify due to copyright. The best I can offer are free downloads.
Amazing cover
YOU ARE GOOD MAN-KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Красавчик)
What can I say other than what everyone else is saying?
Another beautiful cover Sean, your choice of pictures was also perfect (reflecting the rainy environment from the Confined video)
It's amazing to see someone who has the courage, determination, and skill to make such stunning piano covers.
Where do you get those pictures from!!??!
1:40 and 4:20 were particularly mesmerizing =)
~Nabil
Bravo!!!
Would it be difficult to make August Burns Red covers by chance?
I wish hahaha but it probably is rediculously hard
August Burns Red - Marianas Trench - Piano Cover - ruclips.net/video/HNXlIdJn31U/видео.html
now that I think about it the start of the song kinda reminds me of the Michael Meyers theme song
OH MY GOD this is amazing
Here from the last confined live of the European tour of AILD uploaded to RUclips.
That riff was made beyond your age..
dude he did!
Bro, your work is tremendous! What do you use to record? It makes me want to properly invest time into recording.
Thank you brother man. I use Cubase & Garritan Personal Orchestra.
Better mindset
I agree with previous post, u should cover "arms of sorrow"
SICK BRAHHH!
make "avenged sevenfold - i won't see you tonight part 1" and a lot of "from autumn to ashes" songs ... please
Agree with the FATA covers.
Sean you're great. You should try "The arms of sorrow" by Killswitch Engage :)

Is it possible to get the sheet music for this cover?
Hey man do you think you could send me the sheet music or make a video of how to play this I would love to learn
Hey Matt. Unfortunately I compose everything by ear, so I regret that I don't have any sheet music available. Sorry I couldn't help.
HE ALREADY HAS!
I love this piece! We need to do something together, Sean! I can sing, a soft voice over something would be so awesome! Please respond :-)
capcom vibes
