  • This is my piano cover/arrangement of Brand New Colony by The Postal Service. I can't sing very well (that is actually an overstatement, my singing is horrendous) but hope you guys like it.
    For more music, go to www.myspace.com/frenchvanillamusic
    If you'd like the sheet music, you can download it here.
    www.sendspace.com/file/4s8s5o
    I wrote it off the top of my head in class one day so I may have skipped a few measures at the beginning and written some wrong notes. Sorry, I'll try to fix it one of these days

    this is such a beautiful, beautiful cover.
    the emotion that this conveys is so powerful to me for some reason.
    This is definitely one of the best covers of any song I've ever heard, period. My deepest thanks for being able to hear this :) please keep up the great work.

    @steelecarrington 17 лет назад

    I usually think that youtube covers are all EXTREMELY bad, but this one changed my mind. You're a very good musician and I have recently been trying to learn how to play the piano so I can play "What Sarah Said" by Deathcab for Cutie. If you could make a video of you playing that I'd be forever greatful.
