Does anyone else think this song has a Rihanna-meets-Sia-meets-post-2007-Linkin-Park sound to it? By the way, thank you for everyone who has stopped by already. I'm sure a lot of you are looking for the actual recording of this song by Rihanna and found this instead, but I appreciate those who stayed to listen.
I've taken the liberty of subscribing to your channel. I'm getting my talent agent license after having worked as a casting director. Hopefully the occasion will arise when I can call upon your musical talents.
The more I hear this song, the more I like it. Your piano cover is equally amazing! I try to learn piano, but then my teacher moved away and I haven't practiced in awhile. Still my favorite instrument.
I will definitely try again soon. It's the only instrument I really want to play. I had no idea there was so much math involve though and I'm terrible at math haha. I did managed to get the opening of Adele's Someone Like You down pretty good so there's hope yet.
Stephen hello beautiful chanel, a collection of covers pop not indifferent ... that I have heard is fantastic, beautiful sound, beautiful interpretation!
I think my biggest problem is that I rush most (all?) of my covers. Gotta work on that. It's one of those things that I know I do and I can't help but doing. Thanks for watching!
Dearest Stephen, I keep checking your channel to see if you have done a cover of the song by Bruno Mars - 24k Magic. I know you must be very busy... Perhaps in the future would you consider doing a cover? You're amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!! P.S. This video, Rihanna - Sledgehammer is my most favor video of yours!
I've been doing this for five years. I have 61 videos and over 2 and a quarter million views and this has to be the best comment I've ever gotten. Rock on lmao
Elida, it's pretty easy to learn! Chord scheme goes D major - B flat major - G minor (I think, haha). Only real variation to that is at the end of the chorus each time on the word "Sledgehammer" you could go up to C major instead of down to the G minor. I do that in this cover and it sounds like she does it in the song but either way sounds fine. Good luck!
Stephen Guilbert Hahah :D That kinda counts for me as well :3 I had one year of Keyboard-(sigh)-lessons in primary school, but I quitted it cuz, I really didn't care for this instrument back then :c ... I started with the piano then during november '13 cuz I really wanted to play some soundtracks from the Hunger Games :P Well.. since then I was taking it again more serious :3 I'm also sometimes uploading some stuff on yt just for fun :D Are you planning to study something with music in the future? :3
Probably not...just continue with the piano and try to become a more diverse pianist. That's so cool that it was The Hunger Games that made you want to learn the piano. I have one cover of a song from The Hunger Games on my channel (Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift/The Civil Wars) and I loved playing it. What other songs did you want to learn?
*Eyes roll back* this is absolutely perfect. As a fellow pianist this arrangement is stunning. Thank you for sharing
That is so nice of you to say, Jameson. Thanks so much and thank you for checking out my video/channel.
This is beautifully done! I love your arrangement so much! It makes me want to learn how to play it!!
Thanks!
love this cover. just covered this song myself

Yes, Sia was partially responsible for composing "Sledgehammer".
Stephen, thank you for sharing this!!!
That makes so much sense. Even the way Rihanna pronounces "Sledgehammer" sometimes has a Sia vibe to it.
Thanks for listening! And the comment. :)

That sounds good to me. You know where to find me. Best of luck!
Bro I hope all those five who disliked your video die suffering from aids, keep up much love
Very nice ! Star Trek brought me here. You're great on the keys.
Star Trek brought me here too! As did Rihanna. It's like combining my two favorite things in life haha.
Hahaha it's funny because it's true. Cannot wait for this to come out
The more I hear this song, the more I like it. Your piano cover is equally amazing! I try to learn piano, but then my teacher moved away and I haven't practiced in awhile. Still my favorite instrument.
I hope you continue to play. It really is a magical instrument.
I will definitely try again soon. It's the only instrument I really want to play. I had no idea there was so much math involve though and I'm terrible at math haha. I did managed to get the opening of Adele's Someone Like You down pretty good so there's hope yet.
Subscribed to a fellow artist :D great work!!
Thank you, Dario!

"Sledgehammer" lyrics
RIHANNA LYRICS
"Sledgehammer"
I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low
Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor, the floor
They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes
Oh, what could I do to change your mind?
Nothing
I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go
I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole
I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall
You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through, make it through
I can't survive a life that's without you, that's without you, yeah
And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now
Oh, the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving spilled, yeah
I was bracing for the pain and then I let it go
I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole
I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall
You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

I want to learn this so bad 😫😫 good job tho 🙌🏼🙌🏼😊
Elida, it's pretty easy to learn! Chord scheme goes D major - B flat major - G minor (I think, haha).

Great performance! :)

Stephen Guilbert You're absolutely welcome :)) How long have you been playing the piano? :D
I've been playing since I was five. On/off in high school and college but got serious with it again towards the end of college. Do you play?
Stephen Guilbert Hahah :D That kinda counts for me as well :3 I had one year of Keyboard-(sigh)-lessons in primary school, but I quitted it cuz, I really didn't care for this instrument back then :c ... I started with the piano then during november '13 cuz I really wanted to play some soundtracks from the Hunger Games :P Well.. since then I was taking it again more serious :3 I'm also sometimes uploading some stuff on yt just for fun :D Are you planning to study something with music in the future? :3
