    Not for the first time, these Elliott Covers have uncovered some of the musicality of his composition in a unique way. The simplicity and complexity of his chord choice and changes is so idiosyncratic and...genius I guess. You do an amazing job.

    First the mic, then a half cigarette
    Singing, "Cathy's Clown"
    That's the man she's married to now
    That's the girl that he takes around town
    She appears composed, so she is, I suppose
    Who can really tell?
    She shows no emotion at all
    Stares into space like a dead china doll
    I'm never gonna know you now
    But I'm gonna love you anyhow
    Now she's done and they're calling someone
    Such a familiar name
    I'm so glad that my memory's remote
    'Cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
    Here it is, the revenge to the tune
    "You're no good
    You're no good, you're no good, you're no good"
    Can't you tell that it's well understood?
    I'm never gonna know you now
    But I'm gonna love you anyhow
    I'm here today and expected to stay
    On and on and on
    I'm tired
    I'm tired
    Looking out on the substitute scene
    Still going strong
    XO, mom
    It's okay, it's alright, nothing's wrong
    Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
    In the place where I make no mistakes
    In the place where I have what it takes
    I'm never gonna know you now
    But I'm gonna love you anyhow
    I'm never gonna know you now
    But I'm gonna love you anyhow
    I'm never gonna know you now

    @RundeKatze 7 лет назад +3

    Oh by the way. I don't know how this piano will sound but some uprights sounds even better on recordings when you put your device behind your piano and record the "backside" because you do not have this "attacking clicking sound" of the hits and a more soft tone. But you need to insulate the area around the microphone that no hall will be recorded. I tried it sometimes. I pull my piano around 30cm away from the wall, and put a pillow between the microphones and the wall of the room to avoid reflections. But i did not uploaded any videos with this technique so I can't show you the result.

    • @heavypiano
      @heavypiano  7 лет назад +3

      I've done that-I prefer the clarity of the sound of micing up front. I usually angle the recorder up a bit so it doesn't get so much hammer attack noise.
