Not the Sufjan we expected but the Sufjan we needed
Cheers :)
this cover has helped me through crazy times. thanks for sharing your talent.
Wow that was amazing thanks,who knew an electronic song could turn so beautifully to a piano solo. I would love to hear you tackle All Delighted People by Sufjan.
Thanks Jim. I added your request to my list. :)
Outstanding!!! Really captures that impossibly delicate yet powerful gravity of the original. Beautiful.
thanks dizzykiwi3
If only I could unsubscribe to you, and then re-subscribe to you and have it count as double. You never disappoint with your piano arrangements and your playing. Sufjan is one of my favorite artists of all time, and to see you do this such justice is mesmerizing and heart-warming. I hope he has the opportunity to see this himself one day.
Thanks Josh! You made my day.
I really wish you were appreciated enough for this wonderful piece
Thanks gruber4life. I do have to remind myself it's about creating music and not seeking recognition. However, knowing that people are finding these videos and enjoying them is really rewarding for me, so I'm thankful for your kind comment.
This is soothing and gently tells me to stop fucking around. Love it.
Ha! Thanks EP
This is so beautiful, I'm seriously blown away! Never expected to hear a piano version of this song. I think a cover of Sufjan's "Oh Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head!" would also be incredible.
Thanks Jordan. I'll add that song to my list.
Amazing work. I remember seeing on your your videos about 10 years ago... Didn't know you're still making them, but I recognised the style.
One of my favorite Sufjan Songs, so underrated
This is so perfect. I can’t even believe it. Thank you x1000. For everything.
Beautiful arrangement and so calming. I'd love to someday hear your take on "Mercury" if possible :)
Thanks, tonematrix. I'll add your song to my list.
yesss pls
I soooo agree with this ^^ your instrumentals are addicting!
Got the chills. This is INCREDIBLE.
It's magical to hear and see it put like this, thank you
Thanks, George!
All Suf's covers are addictive (just as the originals) :) Thank you so much!
Hello! This is beautiful :) Do you think you'd be able to do a cover of Sufjan Steven's 'Untitled'? And possibly make a tutorial/sheet music for it?
Hi, I'll add your request to my list!
I'd love to purchase sheet music of this arrangement!
Bennett, I'm really flattered and I wish I had the time. Would you ever consider reaching out to transcribers on fivrr to see if any of them could tackle it?
Delicious arrangement.
omg this is beautiful
Thank you, fdoppio!
@@heavypiano please do another sufjan music if you have a time, and maybe The Ascension album one
im crying
well done! an amazing song on piano
I love this! more age of adz plz.
hey. this is amazing. could you please provide sheet music or a tutorial for this?
Hi alja, I only have the chords I figured out written out. I could put together a tutorial though!
💙🎹YouPlax beautifully🎹💙
Thank you, Sonya.
AMAZINGG
Great job
thank you
You're welcome.
It's just amazing!
Thank you Saymon.
This is wonderful! I have yet to hear a piano cover of Eugene, and I think it would be pretty interesting :)
Thanks for listening. I added your request to my list. Have a good weekend!
Is there anyway I can get an mp3 of this? Your work is INCREDIBLE and moving. this song especially. I am so in awe
Allison, thanks, glad you liked it. Could you email me joshua@heavypiano dot com, I can send you an mp3.
Sweet sauce!
Thanks!
Nice transcription. And on a Baldwin Hamilton, no less.
Hey, thanks!
I suppose you don't write your arrangements on sheets, do you? This is great.
Thanks Zachariah. I don't write any of this down, I'm more focused on the improvisation based on chords/melody. Mostly transcribing takes a long time and I work a bit and have a hard time finding time!
Do you have sheet music? Would be amazing to learn this :)
Hi Conway, I don't have sheet music as I just played based off of the chords and melody. I can put together a rough how-to similar to my other how-to videos though if that might help :)
heavypiano That'd be amazing, thanks so much :)
Hey, sorry to bother you but if you have any time to do that it would be greatly appreciated :)
Have you done a tutorial of this?
I have not.
heavypiano you should
Wow!!!!
Holy shit.
To think that I would die this time
Isolated in the room where the bed rises
Photographic ordinary people are everywhere
Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories
I'll find sleep, I'll find peace
Or in death you'll sleep with me
To figure that it was my fault
Or so I've come to realize life is not about
Love with someone (ordinary people are everywhere)
Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Illness is watching, waiting its turn
Did I go at it wrong?
Did I go intentionally to destroy me?
I'm suffering in noise I'm suffering in (touching ordinary body)
The burning from within the burning from with (ordinary hysteria)
I could not be at rest, I could not be at peace (extraordinary hysteria)
So do yourself a good, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes
Or do yourself a favor, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes
Illness likes to prey upon the lonely, prey upon the lonely
Wave goodbye, oh, I would rather be, but I would rather be fine
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
And I forgive you even
As you choke me that way
With the pill or demon
And the shrouded shalom
Under conversation
In tremendous weight of
A crowd of ages outside
Dressed for murder
I'm not fucking around
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around
And shall I kiss you even as you take me that way?
With the pill or demon as my body changes
Apparitions gone awry
They surround me, all sides
But from within I see an unholy changes
I'm not fucking around
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around
any chance getting a mp3 high quality version?
Hey Cam, if you send me an email I will reply with an MP3. Cheers.
wow
the chord progressions are ridiculous
Right?
@@heavypiano that last bit (C --> Eb --> A --> F#) in the left hand at the end of the 1:12 riff brought the whole mood of the song into another solar system. comes out of nowhere. such a peculiar set of chords but it's gorgeous
Any sheet music of this?
Hi Erin, I just improvised this by ear with a few chords I arranged after listening to it several times. I'm sorry I don't have any sheet music for you.
@@heavypiano WOW AMAZINGGGG
How long does it take you to cover a song like this from start to finish?
@@erinlancaster530 This one took a while to learn and practice because of the irregular time signatures. I worked on it off and on for about two weeks.
@@heavypiano If you ever start making sheet music of these arrangements, I would buy them. Definitely. It's gotta feel amazing to have this beautiful work coming through your finger tips.
