Radiohead - Reckoner [Piano Cover]

[@blakeO34]

This is my favorite Radiohead song. I’m so glad you graced this wonderful piece of music with your incredible skills!

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks Blake, it is truly my pleasure

Lyrics:
Reckoner
You can't take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all hu-
All human beings
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
(In rainbows)
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
(In rainbows)
Reckoner
Take me with you
Dedicated to all hu-
All human beings

You've always been one of my favorite Radiohead cover artists, right up there with Josh Cohen!!

[@aajfranklin]

Josh is on another plane altogether imo, so I consider this serious praise!

[@catgh0st]

@@aajfranklin You deserve itttt!!! :DD

[@georgeUpo]

Incredible as always

[@aajfranklin]

Thank you 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@deadpanshortman]

This is the first time one of your amazing covers has moved me to tears. Very well done! I hope you feel better soon.

[@aajfranklin]

This was very touching for me to read - thank you

[@h.s.clayton6864]

Amazing. I've been waiting for someone to do this for years...
Thank you Alex.

[@aajfranklin]

I've been wanting to do it for years, so that works out 😃

[@greek_shmeek]

This is one of radiohead's finest songs, sounds great!

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks!

[@rumble_fr]

this is gorgeous omg
also im aware at how annoying the constant requests in your comments must be, and i know you typically don't like to redo old covers youre happy with, but i just have to say that i would do anything to have your rendition of Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) done with your modern setup! it moves me every time i hear it, and your cover is the only one i've found that perfectly matches the sheer beauty of that song. ive been trying to figure it out by ear from your video but im just not that good haha
either way, this is another video that's going in my Must-Learn piano playlist. awesome stuff!!

[@aajfranklin]

First up congrats on your excellent Radiohead fan handle.
Thanks for the kind words! It is flattering when people ask for updated versions of my older covers. I've been knocking about the idea of doing a 'remake' every 5 or 6 videos or so, because there are some songs I covered pre-2020 where I either regret some of the choices I made in the arrangement or would just like a higher quality version out there.
So that's my way of saying 'maybe eventually'! But I reserve the right to tweak the arrangement when I revisit it!

[@rumble_fr]

@@aajfranklin thanks for the response! and hey, even if you plan on tweaking it, i have full faith that whatever you do with it will be fantastic regardless :)

[@sybolicious]

This is beautiful, thank you Alex.

Thanks young Simon

[@blurryface3392]

I'm happy that this exists

[@aajfranklin]

I'm happy you commented

[@kasimiro3571]

this is so so so beautiful. Awesome work dude

[@aajfranklin]

Cheers, I'm proud of this one!

[@CTqueenie]

I'll be honest: For some reason, this song never hit me like so many of their others have. At least not instantly. It's grown on me, but I've still never quite got there. Your performance though...its forces me to focus on nothing but those beautiful chords. That transition going into and out of the bridge, and beyond. This is wonderful.
I have to go back and listen to this song again. And again! You've made it better for me.

[@aajfranklin]

I'm surprised! This song was an instant click for me, 16 years ago 👴 I'm glad I could give a different perspective on it for you.

[@sisumara]

absolutely stunning. great work as always!

[@aajfranklin]

Thank you!

[@Senijs]

[@clairebears]

@@aajfranklin yay!!

[@niklasmerz7240]

Wow thanks so much. I am trying to teach me this song by myself on piano and i'm struggeling a lot. Do you use some sheets or do you just have everything in your mind?

[@aajfranklin]

It's all in my head through lots of repetition and practice.

[@forrkwidd6912]

do you have the sheet music for your covers?

[@aajfranklin]

I play and arrange by ear so I'm afraid I have no sheet musci.

[@christophecouture9480]

Ta partition est top, si t es pas sue Smusic, inscris toi ça rendra service à tt le monde en plus de te rapporter de l argent

[@christophecouture9480]
