    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.

    Outstanding!!! Really captures that impossibly delicate yet powerful gravity of the original. Beautiful.

    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 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 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.

    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
