The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2 (piano cover)

one of my favorite phil elverum songs. made quite some mistakes though... lyrics:
i took my shirt off in the yard
no one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden
now it's not
my shirt's back on
i forgot my songs
the glow is gone
my gliding body stopped
i could not get through september without a battle
i faced death
i went in with my arms swinging
but i heard my own breath
i had to face that i'm still living
i'm still flesh
i hold on to life with feelings
i'm not dead
there's no end
my face is red
my blood flows harshly
my heart beats loudly
my chest still draws breath
i hold it
i'm boiling
ooh oh oh
there's no end

i know this is an old video but i have to say, this is such a beautiful cover, you played it so nicely with such a creative spin and arrangement and you sang it so well, your voice really fits the song :) amazingly done!!

Anyone who covers Phil is the bee's knees

[@theReal1618]

i am seriously not exaggerating. i randomly clicked on it and let it play in the background and was just blown away. please do!

[@iancmcintyre]

really beautiful. I've always loved this album and this song reminds me of sad and important times in life.

[@jatthijsmanssens3630]

good job, i love this one 😊

[@alexandrosgoulas]

So creative, great job!

[@theReal1618]

this will sound a bit silly but this is THE best cover i've ever heard! holy shit! of any song!
please make more!

[@jatthijsmanssens3630]

thanks :)
the piece is actually quite easy to understand and if you practice enough you'll get comparable results I guess.
the whole piece is written in the E-minor scale and most of the time there's only one chord progression: Emin-Bmin-C-C. once you learn these chords, there inversions and maybe some additional notes (Emin7/9, Bmin7, Cmaj7/9) you can simply smash variations of them at the right moment :D the ending has a G-Bmin-C-C progression.
thanks again & good luck!

This is insane

[@MindCBase]

Good comedic twist :)

[@Diedhard]

Depressing as hell but I'm hooked.

[@ZackandTimSHOW]

[@AdudenamedKemp]
