    I could have choosen any song of them you so brilliant covered, but it was here, when my heart melted with that nostalgia you drove me into. Im 34, and i remember making myself who i am today, my personality, listening to this album in my teen years. What you did here was no short of magic to me. That punch in the chest that is to be shoved back in that year, with all it comes with, but to been drawned back there, and somehow, having the experience the melody and music in a higher state. You did this. I as the album ins memorable to me, forever it will be aswell this, The moment i heard these covers for the first time. Thank You.

      Hey Paulo, it's amazing how powerful music can be. Also awesome to hear the reaction that a video like this can create. I honestly had no idea what would happen when I started recording these covers, and I'm still unsure where it will go. I do love the community and feedback that people have sent through though - it's been overwhelmingly beautiful to hear stories like this from all over the world, based on me sitting alone in a room in my music school with a camera and some microphones. Such a weird time to be alive.

    A heart that's full up like a landfill
    A job that slowly kills you
    Bruises that won't heal
    You look so tired, unhappy
    Bring down the government
    They don't, they don't speak for us
    I'll take a quiet life
    A handshake of carbon monoxide
    And no alarms and no surprises
    No alarms and no surprises
    No alarms and no surprises
    Silent, silent
    This is my final fit
    My final bellyache
    With no alarms and no surprises
    No alarms and no surprises
    No alarms and no surprises, please
    Such a pretty house
    And such a pretty garden
    No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here)

    No alarms and no surprises, please (get me out of here)

    School has just ended for the summer. You could do anything, but you decide to lie back and breathe in the change of seasons. Life had a different feeling back then. I could never feel such peace again as growing up is a beating. I still feel everything I once felt while listening to this almost like I travelled back in time. We can’t live care free and spontaneous forever. This cover sure makes me believe I can.

    that minor fourth in the beginning motif will always be nostalgic to me as my dad used to (and still does, to an extent) play this song all the time. i think it's one of the most beautiful sounds out there and you delivered it beautifully in this cover, so so so stunning amazing job

    Josh Cohen! Words cannot express, as others have mentioned. I played piano for ten years as a kid/adolescent, but I let it stray away from me. I recently purchased a beautiful Baldwin- the problem is I am practically afraid to sit at it since it's been so long. Your videos truly inspire me and bring me back to the place I felt when playing. man... Piano is true beauty, and you bring it FULL justice. Thank you for all you do, and I am eagerly awaiting the songbook!

    By far the best cover. The thing you do so well in this and your other videos is a continuous rhythmic movement i.e adding all those extra notes whilst the melody is defined, that gives it great pace and vitality. Would love to see sheet music one day so I could attempt it too!
