Coldplay - Every Teardrop is a Waterfall (Piano Cover)

Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
by Coldplay
Hey guys, here's a new cover I just made last night and recorded today. I picked up Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto, a couple days ago and have been loving what I've heard. This song and "Hurts Like Heaven" are definitely two of my favorites off the CD.
My goal in making this arrangement was just to take part of the song (the verse) and vary it in a few different ways. I didn't use much of the chorus, as I personally find the verses to be much more catchy and musically interesting, but I did throw in a little chorus for good measure. This was a tough one to get right, and it's still not perfect, but I really wanted to just go a little crazy on this arrangement (for those of you classical fans, you may notice a little homage to Liszt with the melody split in octaves between the hands!).
I really had a blast recording this one, and I hope you all enjoy the work!

This cover is so killer, I came back to watch it again after 2 years.

[@Linward]

My favorite part is 1:07 to 1:20, when your hands seamlessly alternate, taking turns with the lyrical section. I have this video on my favorites and return to it often.

[@aidanklassen1572]

i love the second sentence of this post. Genuine

[@letsallsinganddance]

You've just made my favourite song impossibly 10 times better, its just so beautiful. I love it. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Mr_King_Cat]

[@neto39199]

I need some of that beer...

[@SanChan1998]

Came back from 2020. Still perfect!

[@bluebrave3655]

Diana Scarlet god this is good

[@AbrahamVLincPwln]

This guy man. This guy right here. This guy's a genius. He makes Skrillex look good, and he boosts Coldplay from "OK I guess" to "brilliant."

[@SheepRacing]

What a show !!! Just one word can describe u: exceptionnal !!

[@BPCwithCharlie]

Music is your language. Spoken so eloquently. Thank you for this.

[@schiiiei]

[@amburgacker]

Excellent, brillant, époustouflant !

[@DiamondHonzz]

This is the best thing performed on piano I've ever seen ❤️

[@techbreath]

Absolutely amazing! I love this so much

[@johnjimenez3600]

Sooo sooo soo good. Soo skilled and such a beautiful rendition. The whole cover is epic but I especially love what you've done with the intro and outro ❤

[@anasantana4702]

Still great in 2019

[@yasminemetwally8266]

you made me hate my life BECAUSE YOURE SO GOOD WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE

[@brittmcgowan]

You are absolutely incredible! This one of my favorite Coldplay songs, and you made it so beautiful and intense and amazing! Thank you for playing.

[@TheMitchelle14]

Amazing.... This is my favorite song.. Honestly never seen a piano cover of it... sure, I've seen piano be the accompany to lyric vocals... But never seen a full out piano only cover. Great job.

[@daneocampo1120]

Probably my favorite cover of all your work. This song of Coldplay has been a favorite of mine both originally, remixed into EDM versions, but it's most beautiful in piano especially the way you portrayed it. Thanks much for this--keep making awesome music for our ears to dance to :D!

[@techbreath]

GENIUS! If you don't mind you should post the notes for this. It's amazing.

[@TheHTMLCode]

I thought it was looped too at the peak of the song however notice when he hits the higher notes with his right hand he moves his left hand to where the right was to carry on the melody - amazing work!

[@DiamondHonzz]

My man, watching this, i had fucking goosebumps. This is one of the best piano jobs I've ever seen!

[@taylorxteddy]

People are always hating on how Coldplay is mainstream. Don't care; they deserve it. One of the few mainstream bands worth the hype they get. I listen to this version daily! I quit piano after 9 years because I knew I didn't have the passion to be this good, but stuff like this makes me miss it.

[@stephenboxerhawkins]

I'm that inspired such beautiful music I might try to learn how to play it

[@giorgialock4027]

You are truly amaizing, every video i have seen of yours it has brought tears to my eyes! what you do is really inspirational and i wish you look in the future

[@timothydonohue9987]

This cover is quite possibly one of the greatest covers I’ve seen of any song ever. The talent is off the chart. Wow. Hope you’re doing well!

[@osulakers17]

[@FrancisIldefonso]

[@longlivethequeenaudrey8047]

Every time I hear him play, it makes me want to play piano *o*

[@TimperW]
