All Eyes On Me - Bo Burnham (Piano Cover)

Sheet Music: pauliano.com/s...
Bo Burnham was restricted to his room and created a show that was written, directed, produced, and performed by no one other than himself. Certain pieces of the special are quite funny, but the majority of his work is about the depression and mental illness caused by the weight of quarantine and isolation. His creativity is now on display in songs like this one in the 90-minute Netflix special "Inside."

What was your favorite piece of INSIDE? Mine was this one, followed closely by White Woman's Instagram. Absolutely brilliant.

[@LawrenceNo23]

Thank you so much for this. It's such a beautiful melody. Genius. I'd love to see you do more of these from "Inside" (particularly "Goodbye" or "Problematic").

[@TiMonsor]

funny feeling

[@coreymoore8695]

This one. All eyes on me is my favorite song of his next to funny feeling. Awesome set. Also is that an 88 or 61/64 key piano?

[@__Logan]

What a beautiful arrangement. Great work on this, you should be incredibly proud of how it turned out!

[@lashedsuns4529]

This was a close second -- WWI was a good one, but my favorite would have to be Welcome to the Internet.

[@illwillpress11]

you can hear the piano say "get your fucking hands up"

[@_hearts4annabeth]

I loved when the harmonies were created with “get on out of your seats.” My ears are at peace

[@dinaemerson7428]

Yes, I agree! It’s really a great feature of his arrangement!

[@sam_lvlcnrn1492]

What harmony?

[@AmandaBee]

watching this was the first time I realized that the melody of "are you feeling nervous, are you having fun," etc. is nearly the same as the "am I going crazy would I even know" part of Goodbye. I know Goodbye intentionally has a lot of callbacks to the earlier songs but I hadn't noticed that one lol

[@__led]

Yes ! I’ve watched the special several times and noticed that Bo reused the melodies to his songs in different ways as background and transitional music in many scenes… like for example the music for the ‘live stream video game’ he does is actually the melody for Look Who’s Inside Again. That blew me away when I first realized it. So talented and creative !

[@katiemcleod1145]

This actually makes even more sense now he's released the earlier version of "All Eyes On Me" which had the lyrics "Am I going crazy? maybe, maybe not" instead of "Are you feeling nervous, are you having fun"

[@AmandaBee]

@@katiemcleod1145 ohh yeah totally! so when goodbye was written it was probably originally referencing that line

[@katiemcleod1145]

@@AmandaBee I think so yeah! It definitely makes a lot of sense for 'Goodbye' to reference the earlier version, because he showed us (via the short hair/beard flashback shot) that he started writing Goodbye early into the project. That and the final version of 'Goodbye' doesn't have a sample of the 'All Eyes On Me' lyrics, but it references all of the other big songs from the special; until reading your comment I thought he hadn't referenced it on purpose to give more emotional weighting to 'All Eyes On Me' - in my mind omitting the reference separates AEOM from the other songs as a raw emotional confession written in the heat of the moment, rather than a pre-planned song for a comedy special. It makes so much sense that he would have referenced it all along with the other songs but because the words changed throughout the creative process it was missed in the final version. Either way, simply genius writing both lyrically and musically

[@AlphaSeagull]

@@katiemcleod1145 yeah looks like there's a lot of things that were referenced in the song we were unaware of. For example, there's a line in Goodbye saying "you can pick the street I'll meet you on the other side" which is likely referencing the Chicken song

[@ashwithapen]

my top three favorite pieces from inside: 1) all eyes on me 2) look who’s inside again 3) welcome to the internet (edit: if i could add a 4th it would be goodbye and #5 would be that funny feeling)

For me, it’s the unsettlingly blunt “GET THE F*** UP!” I always imagine the beat afterwards pausing on something violent.

[@TheLastSleeplessCity]

I legitimately didn't think it was possible for "All Eyes On Me" to be more beautiful than it already was, but you have fully proven me wrong. Seriously, you perfectly encapsulated the emotion and feeling from the original song, and you did it with just 88 black and white pieces of plastic. Well done, mate.

[@rjhaney2614]

At first, I have to be honest, I was a little put off by the lack of echo (or whatever the proper music term is, reverb? I wouldn't know) but when you got to the "You say the ocean's rising" part, it sounded amazing. Well done!

[@GoLD-ec1bw]

He didn’t use the sustained pedal at the beginning so that’s why haha

[@LaMilice.]

I was thinking the exact same thing. The notes ended so abruptly at the beginning of the cover
