    Woah, this is slick. I like your interpretation of the heavy parts. I play piano but not quite that well. It's like you took the whole song and made a Rachmonninoff prelude out of it! Very nice, and I remember you commenting on all the Epica songs lol.

    Wow, man! If I close my eyes, i can hear each instrument of the original song. You have made an arragement whit lots of detail. Great job, specially because it is dificult to match, playing the piano, a work whose strength lies in the distorsions and gutural. My most sincere congratulations for that.

    Very nice performance. I don't even call it a cover, it's a real performance, an original arrangement. Liked and shared.

    what absolutely lovely articulation of the vocal lines! it's really hard to transpose vocal melody onto an instrument and have it sound good and blend well without just being like "yep that's that ok", and you've really made that right hand work feel like an essential musical element. of course, epica's a particularly appropriate band for achieving this, because of how simone constructs her parts and the band constructs theirs around her, but still. super beautiful, glad I found this late rather than never :)

    • @russull5589
      @russull5589 3 года назад

      the "I believe, I believe" after the first heavy portion is a great example, where i guess you split the whole notes of the initial I believe into like a duple-triple walk up for the repetition of the phrase, with a bit jazzy-feeling pause between. every little touch of this is gold!

    Something is wrong
    My strength has gone
    Thoughts are corrupting my mind
    I can see I perceive this ain’t me
    Something so strong
    My mood has swung
    I can’t get it out of my head
    I believe that my mind misleads me
    (We confuse)
    Is it a doubt you try to hide
    (Tangle and abuse)
    Just have an open look inside
    (We appear)
    It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
    (Memory stuck in your mind)
    Retrieve your balance
    Use your senses to observe
    (The essence of silence)
    Search for essence
    Find the silence within you
    (The essence is…)
    You’re searching and bursting
    There seems to be no cure
    When tension endures
    Delusions corrupting my mind
    I can see I perceive this ain’t me
    There seems to be no way
    When light fades to grey
    To get them all out my head
    I believe that my mind misleads me
    (We confuse)
    Is it a doubt you try to hide
    (Tangle and abuse)
    Just have an open look inside
    (We appear)
    It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
    (Memory stuck in your mind)
    Retrieve your balance
    Use your senses to observe
    (The essence of silence)
    Search for your essence
    Find the silence within you
    (The essence is…)
    Make a start
    Explore your heart
    When a persistent memory
    Penetrates deep in your mind
    Allow the silence to destroy
    Your thoughts in every kind
    (We confuse)
    Is it a doubt you try to hide
    (Tangle and abuse)
    Just have an open look inside
    (We appear)
    It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
    (Memory stuck in your mind)
    Retrieve your balance
    Use your senses to observe
    (The essence of silence)
    Allow the silence
    To wipe your thoughts away
    Retrieve your balance
    Use your senses to observe
    (The essence of silence)
    Search for essence
    Find the silence within you
    (The essence lies IN SILENCE)

      @VikramShankarMusic  10 лет назад

      Thank you so much! It's definitely a challenge - probably the hardest of my covers thus far just because it was so hard to convert convincingly to piano. I'm glad you liked it! :)
