2024 update! New piano tutorials and sheet music coming soon: emergencypianohotline.com
In 2008 I was on my honeymoon in St. John’s Newfoundland and my wife and I bought this album from an HMV. We went for a 9 hour drive along the coast; we saw whales jumping out of the water; we saw a lot of lighthouses. We listened to this song over and over. Thank you for making me think of that!
Nick Mitchell that sounds prrrrretty amazing
Awwwwwwwwwww
Beautiful imagery, might use it on a film
Newfoundland is such a pure, beautiful place. One of Canada's hidden gems and the people there are extremely friendly.
Ideal honeymoon
When a commercial interrupts such a beautiful piece of music I make a promise to myself to never buy whatever product it was for.
people will get paid to downvote your comment
Commercials paid for the content that you love though. If you don't like commercials you could pay for it yourself, there is an ad-free option.
preach.
Just use an ad-block.
I do this too haha
please, please, cover more of Sigur Ros
I would love to! Any requests?
Now that I think about it, Sigur Ros's frontman, Jon Thor Birgisson did an album collaboration with Alex Somers called "Riceboy Sleeps". The songs "Boy 1904" and "Happiness" are two of my favourites. Honestly, the whole album is wonderful so if you get inspired by any of the songs from that album it'd be amazing!
hoppipolla
+Ale B I've had a look at that one. Might cover it soon. Thanks for the request! 😃
Ara Batur !! :D
Absolutely unbelievable. The pulse of that E note is just perfect
I just listen to the song, observe how your hands carefully execute their mission. Catching up with the feeling that starts in your heart, rushes through your brain, streams further through your fingers which create a heard emotion. An emotion that is picked up by my ear and sent to my brain where it starts to vibrate back and forth with my heart. It moves me inside. It brings back memories and hope. Peace and wonder. Thanks mate. Well done.
by the time the vocal melody kicks in there is a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Well done.
i always keep coming back to this, truly the best svefn g englar cover ive seen.
I’ve been doing some thinking recently about this channel and a thought popped into my mind overnight. It’s been a really interesting journey sharing my love of the piano with everyone all over the world. It still trips me out that I spend an afternoon recording a track (it has to be the afternoon for those curious about the process, as the piano is lit by natural light - it’s best between 1pm - 4pm in the room that I’m recording in), sitting by myself in front of a piano in my music school, and that people from all over the world get to experience a very private moment of my creative process.
What I find particularly interesting though is when I listen back to these interpretations, there’s a pretty strong disconnect between playing/recording the tracks and hearing them back. Without a drop of ego, I personally enjoy listening to these tracks either late at night to help me fall asleep, occasionally in the morning when I wake up to find some more motivation about working on my Radiohead songbook, but my favourite time would definitely be when I’m travelling, especially in airports or on planes, and also on public transport. As there are a lot of returning subscribers and listeners on this channel, my question to you is this: Where and when do you listen to these tracks? What are you doing? Working? Studying? Travelling? Eating breakfast? Passing out? What time of day is it? What do you see? How does it make you feel?
I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts, so hit me up.
As always, thanks for supporting the channel and for incorporating this music into your lives. Man, the internet blows my mind sometimes x
I listen to your covers while I am working but I would love to do it while "in transit". They sound like a perfect soundtrack for traveling.
You've made me discover some tunes -and still like your covers better. Thanks, mate.
Awesome to hear. Thanks for the insight! 😃
Josh Cohen. Not to morbid or anything. But you music helps me through the chemo treatment I recieve. Even if only for a few minutes, I'm able to just step out of my mind and relax. It's very good for me. Thank you Josh. Peace be with you.
Hey Tim, thanks for the comment and glad to hear that the music is helping you relax. If you have a spare moment, can you email me at hello [at] joshcohenmusic [dot] com? Thanks!
Writing my master's thesis. (:
My favorite Sigur Rós from such a masterful pianist... Beautiful...
Same
Moved me to tears. Incredible.
I would sell my kidney for this sheet music. So beautifully done.
If there's any tune played in heaven, That would be this ! Sigur Ros is one of my favourite bands....
Glad you enjoyed the arrangement, Vineet. Thanks for watching! 😀
At nighttime, mostly, or when I need a little inspiration. It makes me feel alive, and makes the world feel beautiful.
And THAT'S a pretty tall order these days. . .if this exquisite piece of music by Josh can't reach someone, NOTHING can.
This is the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard, thank you x
Thanks, Holly. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the interpretation ✌️
Holly Stamford i love you holly stamford
I love Sigur Ros. I found this yesterday and can't stop playing it!
Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása!!!! :D
I would love to! Not sure how to bend notes on a piano though :/
If you wanted to be ambitious, you could build multiple piano tracks over one another.
I've thought about it, Finn. At this stage, I plan on keeping it as simple as possible. I like the idea that anyone can replicate the tracks or excerpts of the clips without it getting too complicated. Appreciate the suggestion though!
Fair enough... but you should make this one exception.
Nothing comes close to Viðrar!
(In my opinion)
You've got the talent to do it man. Honestly, work around your setbacks.
I go chukar hunting the hardest uphill rocky sport there is...so utterly hard. Bitter and desolate loneliness out on the high desert in idaho in the elements that make you shiver to the bone. I'm here on my log cabin porch picturesque, or at least as I saw it when I labored painstakingly in the cold and heat outside for it. A little buzzed on beer. I listen to sigur ros because it's like the void between life and death, that happy little medium where it feels like it could make sense...cold lonely icy skies in the Icelandic infirmament. Thanks for the piano version, it is fitting and am glad there is people just like me out there on my wave lenght who are completely different connected by that eternal light world.
Just came upon this by accident. One of my favourite pieces of music ever by one of my favourite bands and your interpretation is absolutely beautiful. I actually have tears in my eyes listening to it.
You're obviously very talented from a technical perspective but the sensitivity and emotion in your playing is breathtaking.
Well done, you should be proud.
Thanks very much. Heard some Sigur Rós on the radio today. Really need to get back into listening to some of their older records again. Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely magnificent! You managed to capture the essence of the song incredibly well. First like I've given in quite some time.
God damn that is a beautiful song.
beautiful boy made me grateful for this song 🥺
me too🥺💓
Me and my kids listen to your work every night; beautiful stuff, Josh.
Ive never seen a song getting a new life like this one, amazing. Just amazing..
Thanks!
Your Sigur Ros, Radiohead, and Bowie covers 💕💕💕
Absolutely amazing. I love the original song but I'm amazed at how beautifully it sounds on piano.
Thanks so much for listening / watching ✌️
Pretty impossible to put into words really. You have such an amazing talent, thank you for sharing it with us. I can only sit back and admire with absolute wonder at this kind of skill. I struggle to make toast.
Thanks so much for the kind words and I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the music 😄
10 minutes of pure bliss
On the bus home from work and late nights at my desk. It's some of the most productive and meditative music I've found. This track in particular. If this were an album I could download, I would in a heartbeat.
RUclips to mp3 my man
Listening to your playing has made it feel like I am listening to Sigur Ros for the first time but also at the same time in a different way that I can’t describe other than that I love it much more! Thank you and keep up the gift of your music!!
Very good interpretation! I really liked that you captured that sonar sound in the song.
I recently discovered your channel, your interpretations are deep and touching. You are extremely talented. Bravo, bravissimo Josh.
Thank you ✌️
First and foremost, thank you for personally responding to my comment on your stunning rendition of Bill Evans Peace Piece. That made my day. That was the first time I had listened to any of your songs. This the second, and it blew me away! Thank you for sharing your music Josh. It was 2:30 in the morning, lying in bed when I came across this gem. Music has been and always will be a big part of my life, and I thank those that have the incredible talent to make it.
You’re most welcome. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel ✌️
To be honest I could listen to them wherever and whenever. They are so beautiful.
As much as I love your other Radiohead work, I thought there's no way you'd do the bow-on-string drone justice. I thought that at any moment I would just stop this video and open the original song. I keep repeating this thought every minute I listened to this cover. And before I knew it, the video was over, and I was still here, at its end. And now I'm going to open the original song, not because I think it's superior, but because you gave me a new perspective from which to appreciate the original.
Thank you, Josh, for another spectacular interpretation.
absolutely gorgeous. not many songs will move me to the point of tears, but this one does it. thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the music. I really enjoyed arranging and playing this track. Such a beautiful tune! 😄
This is enchanting. A lovely version.
Thanks very much, Kris. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
I was stressed, sad and your video came to my feed... THis changes me and my thoughts...i have an open salute for you.
✌️
Great arrangement! It really captures the essence of the original.
Thanks very much. It's a really beautiful track to play :-)
Beauty has a Sound wave, Who would have thought
Wow this brings me to tears. I can feel emotion in the way you play. A gift! I’m so happy I found your channel. I’ve always wanted to get back into playing the piano and you inspire me to feel the music again. To experience every note in complete unison with ur fingers. And physically feel the music! I just can’t believe how beautifully you play.
you're fingers were born to play
You have a very good ear, Josh Cohen. Your renditions are always exhilarating! (Thanks for those!)
I am weeping like a little girl here.
reduced me to tears thank you thank you thank you
Bravo ragazzo. Suona ancora, sempre e comunque, mi rendi felice. Grazie
What a perfection.
I started writing my Phd a month ago. I may have listen your Sigur ros adaptations at least 3 times a day since that. It is very rich and translate perfectly the spirit of the original in my opinion .. Thanks a lot. Hurt is pretty cool too.. all of them actually.. but this one !
Thanks very much, Pierre. Good luck with the PhD ✌️
This is perfection. Thank you.
I've been playing this one in my classes a lot lately. Very chill. Very pretty. I started with the Radiohead covers, but I'm thinking I like your Sigur Ros stuff the most. The simplicity makes for pure vibes.
Thank you ✌️
That was beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Gorgeous!
Beautiful!!!
Just found your channel two days ago and I'm hooked. It's so nice to listen to some of my favorite songs in my favorite instrument.
Thanks for the support, Jesse ✌️
I just found your channel as I bought a new keyboard and am playing for the first time in 20 years. I love your selection of songs and your talent is so inspiring to me. Thank you thank you!!
You’re most welcome, Kelly ✌️
This is remarkable. Thank you for sharing it.
wow... I'm flying
Perfect. Thanks a lot for this moment ♥
I just started this in sync with the original and it was amazing!
You're perfect, love it. Thank you so much for this beatiful cover ❤️
This is simply breathtaking!
Unbelievable Sound Josh !
Absolutely amazing cover. Can't stop listening to it. Bravo!
Purely Beautiful
beautiful. thank you.
it's incredible, we have the SAME musical taste. You recorded a lot of my favourite songs to play on piano...instant follow
Haha awesome. So what's next on the menu? Any requests?
"Your hand in mine" from explosion in the sky could be a nice piece to play i think :)
Awesome. I'll check it out!
or also one of my favourite songs from radiohead, which is you and whose army
Nice one. I believe that track has been requested a number of times now, so I'll definitely have to look into it.
That was magical. I've been playing Hoppipolla for a while but never thought to try this one until now. You've inspired me to have a go at it soon!
You are truly gifted
..and Sigur Ros too!! I'm overwhelmed by this treasure trove of this channel and work of yours. ^_^ Please continue!
Truly beautiful
this is really good josh
Your pulse and dynamics are impeccable.
Great take on the Sigur Ros song!
that's amazing! Not only the execution, but you also arranged it so well! Love it ❤
Glad you enjoyed, Cauê. Appreciate the support! 😀
Nicely done!
i love this song...I had really great feelings to heard it in real by sigur ros ...
Beautiful
This is fantastic! You really nailed it!❤❤❤
Best cover I've heard.
I'm crying. This is so beautiful 😭🙌🏻
I absolutely love your arrangements, they're so so accurate to the originals. You've captured the exact imagery on such an amazingly complicated instrument. I vary from listening while getting ready in the morning, lazing in the afternoon, or background music as I draw. It's hard to not pay attention to your playing
I could stay here for hours listening to your beautiful covers. You're amazing my friend!
Thanks, Rino. Glad you enjoyed the music. Thanks for watching! 😄
Im a fan of Sigur Ròs, and to hear someone cover this song like you did is truly awesome, 👍
Major chills 😍
This is a beautiful piece... thank you for making this great cover
You're welcome. Thanks for watching! 😀
absolute masterpeace!
Beautiful, thank you
N'ai pas le sentiment d'être seul !...
Superb 👍
This particular rendition has a special place in my heart, listened to it a lot during the last couple of years in high-school.
I was learning piano and always wanted to learn this piece but IIRC there aren't any existing sheet music. I don't have a piano anymore and I seriously miss playing, but at least I can find comfort in hearing pieces that take me back.
This is really sweet. Unfortunately, like all of my tracks, they’re improvised and not played from sheet music. Glad it’s bringing some comfort to you ✌️
Wow. This is perfect
Needs more views..really captures the atmosphere of the original. One of my favorite non Radiohead covers by you. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome, Tim. Thanks for watching!
Soooo beautiful, Josh, you're the master I wish I could have been.
Great job. More Sigur Ros Please.
Wonderful !!! Magnificent !!!
Beautiful !!!
Thanks for sharing your excellent this real masterpiece !!!
Greetings from Chile.
This song is very, very important to me, my compreension about my life! everything is clearly in this hamonies...
Best cover of this song!
Wow, man...wouldn't have ever thought this one up as a suggestion but it sounds awesome. You reminded me of an album I've not listened to in a long while. I like how you translated the "guitar bow" effect on the keys, nice!
Thanks for covering one of my favourite songs. A rather not so " popular" song but it's magical. And so are you.
Josh.. just thank you. thank you a million times for this.
You’re most welcome ✌️
You got my subscription with this one. Brilliant!
