Alex Clare - Too Close (Evan Duffy Piano Cover)

Too Close
by Alex Clare
Here's my newest arrangement - Alex Clare "Too Close." For this one I went a little deeper with some jazzy/ragtime elements. Definitely some other influences in there too, though! :) I hope you guys enjoy it!

This is the greatest sound to ever enter my ears. The Angels themselves fell at the greatness and beauty of this song.

I shed a few tears watching this. I wish I had the commitment and passion you have. I've been playing the piano since I was 4 but I will never be this good due to my laziness and lack of practicing. I wish I had your talent. :''''')

[@iwishiwasabeetle]

this. is. so. goooooooood. I come back to this all the time and it's still my favorite ughhh💖

[@ronsolomon1405]

I am trying to think of the right words to express how talented I think you are. It is obvious you put a lot of time and thought in your music. It certainly shows in your performances. I loved this piece in particular. From simplicity to bombastic. Take great pride in your accomplishments. You show a command of the keyboard that is usually only apparent in much more mature people. Your technique is the engine that allows you such great express and dynamics in your playing. Be regards.

[@ChloeBeeMusic]

you are actually my idol• thank you for the inspirational boost•

[@Bluewhitegrl]

Share this on Facebook! This is amazing! Great job, Evan!

[@huizardjnoize]

wow such an amazing cover bro your my inspiration

[@H3MarimbaGeneralHLG]

Man. The soul in your body movement and the music is ridiculous

[@acalthu]

[@chipburgess7100]

Incredible!!!!

[@82ndReaper]

Subbed. You have true talent in every sense of the word. Simply amazing. I wish I woulda have continued my piano lessons, THIS is something I could have seen myself doing!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!

[@H3MarimbaGeneralHLG]

Oh and like on your other video. Your application of dynamic contour is spectacular

[@moon-of1jw]

You know I'm not one to break promises I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe At the end of it all you're still my best friend But there's something inside that I need to release Which way is right? Which way is wrong? How do I say that I need to move on? You know we're heading separate ways And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can lie no more I can hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way You've given me more than I can return Yet there's oh so much you deserve Nothing to say Nothing to do I've nothing to give I must live without you You know we're heading separate ways And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can lie no more I can hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way So I'll be on my way And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can lie no more I can hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way So I'll be on my way Перевести на русский

This made me hyperventilate a little bit with how powerful it is, especially the low key hit around 1:43. Jeebus this is strong.

[@ElJefeGT]

I absolutely love this arrangement. The original is one of my favorite Alex Clare songs and the ragtime elements you added to this spice it up so much. Excellent!

[@LukeAxon]

I was considering making a piano cover of this song... and then I saw yours and decided it can't be done better than this!

[@MrDeadMauSkrillex]

JAZZZZZZZ STYLE!!!

[@mexisxchrissy]

How...on...earth...are you not famous yet? God I love you, you should really like be one of those dueling pianists (: You'd kill it!

[@MatthewVanDyken]

Thanks for uploading all these covers. :)

[@JDX45]

Holy jesus mother of mercy awesome skillz

[@hun64597]

I love that Jazz type of feel you put into it. I can just see you playing it in a lounge with some female singer with a powerful and sassy voice just going to town. :D I would pay to see that.
