    The first time anyone made a pink Floyd song longer than the original.

      Elwood Kuelgen you should listen to the live version of fat old sun, live at BBC, you'll know it's the right one when you see a black and white pic of Gilmour

      The Knark Dight of course pink floyd did that with almost every song they played live, i can say that every live performance by them is better than the studio version

    Josh - I've been playing piano since I was 3, but I've never had that laser focus. I switched instruments several times (and hobbies) but I always go back. As a kid I used to figure out songs by ear and make little arrangements, but as I got older, and more discerning, my self criticism became crippling. In 2011 before embarking on a a months long trip abroad I decided to face my biggest fear and host a solo concert. I did an arrangement / mash up of my favorite Pink Floyd songs including this one that was well received. It still took several years for me to take piano seriously (I decided I needed to be in school to practice) so I moved to New York and majored in it. Regrettably about a year before I graduated I became disabled with a chronic illness and I've been recovering ever since. I recently started playing again, albeit only in little bits due to my condition, spurred by a fellow musician's encouragement. I was googling songs to learn and came across your channel. My biggest influences and favorite composers are also Bill Evans, Debussy, and I'm a huge Floyd and Radiohead fan. It might sound like I came here to blab on about myself but ACTUALLY I just felt an impulse to share how connected I feel to your music and taste and touch! Your covers are mesmerizing and deeply personal. I can feel the meditative nature of your playing. Channeling some Kenny Werner zen. And also, those chord changes are to die for. Thanks and can't wait to get through all your videos.

    This is one of the greatest covers ever. The meandering beginning and they way you introduce the main theme is so cool. The overhead angle is great because it shows how often you're reaching beyond a full octave. Everything sounds to rounded out! Then at 9:08 is my favorite... when you go back into the verse part it just gets magical. The little runs you're adding are soooo crunchy!!!!! I already hum them in my head while listening to the original version :) Thanks so much for the great content I listen to your videos everyday!

    I heard this a few months ago and I had a yearning to play piano again after years just concentrating on my guitar. Ive been practising this song nearly every day, and even though I'm not quite at this level I am amazed at how far I've progressed! Which makes me appreciate how good this cover is... I'm not sure if perfect exists but if it does this is about close as one can get. Thanks for sparking my passion again ❤

    Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
    And after all we're only ordinary men
    Me
    And you (you, you, you)
    God only knows
    It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
    Forward he cried from the rear
    And the front rank died
    And the general sat
    And the lines on the map
    Moved from side to side
    Black (black, black, black)
    And blue (blue, blue)
    And who knows which is which and who is who
    Up (up, up, up, up)
    And down (down, down, down, down)
    And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)
    Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
    The poster bearer cried
    "Listen son", said the man with the gun
    There's room for you inside
    "I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
    So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
    They won't do it again. Dig it?
    I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
    I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
    I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
    Down (down, down, down, down)
    And out (out, out, out, out)
    It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about
    With (with, with, with), without
    And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
    Out of the way
    It's a busy day
    I've got things on my mind
    For the want of the price
    Of tea and a slice
    The old man died

    The way all the chords are mixed and smoothly you convert the song in a perfect beat is just too much to ask. Like life was all convoluted tangled up and slowly all the knots opens up and at the end it's a smooth rope

    @brucekuehn4031 7 лет назад +1

    I have always loved this. And I am talking back to the old bong days - like way back when the song was new. I believe you have found the center of it - all about the chord progressions. Wonderful to listen to - especially late at night. This was like the last vinyl album on the turntable after almost everyone else had passed out. And it's like a memory that has no right to still be there. Guys of a certain age - can you relate? Someone with the skill - please do a brass version of this! Big majestic chords building with all the harmonics - it could be so wonderful! Even at this length, it seems it could go much longer. Oh, I can hear that glorious sax from the original but it begs for more. This is one of those melodies that builds and builds and never wants to release.
