Breathe / Time - Pink Floyd (acoustic cover)

TUTORIAL: / coreyheuvel
STARBIRD -- my latest album of original music:
• Starbird (2022) (Listen here!)
WEBSITE: coreyheuvel.com
A medley from the iconic Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon which was released in 1973.
This is always very difficult to do in one take as the solo requires full attention to maintain the harmony and execute any decent phrases, on top of singing two songs in one! Awesome challenge though, I love to try again and improve. As usual, I'm not completely satisfied but this will have to do for now! Hope you enjoy :)

[@frogblues]

Hi Corey, do you include tabs on the lessons on your Patreon? Thank you. Oh, also your talent just blows me away!

[@coreyheuvel]

@@frogblues thanks so much! Some have tabs included, like Little Wing, but most including this one do not. I’m trying to motivate myself to make more of them, but I find that challenging. I’m working on it 👍

[@frogblues]

@@coreyheuvel Thanks for the response. Also I'd definitely pay extra for tabs for your compositions, especially for Guitar pro versions. Cheers!

[@RayMitchell-z8f]

Great work n God Bless

[@DrHomieTj]

fun fact, most of these covers are taken straight from his livestream, no cuts, no retakes, just pure flow. He makes minute mistakes here and there but covers them so brilliant. Absolutely world class mate.

[@jochem420]

didnt know that, i just assumed he took hundreds of takes for the right one. this makes it even more impressive

[@VunterSlaushbby]

Not even an ear piece like most to hear if it’s decent when singing… all organic singing the way it should be

[@badikkkkk]

pure talent and hard worker

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

Cool, he's good. I like his voice and guitar skills.

[@eddiemoney1093]

Don't worry. He sat alone in a room and played them 500 times messing up in various ways until he got to this point, no doubt. I mean that's how I do anyway. He might be a prodigy for all I know. He certainly sounds good enough.

[@jerrysaunders3672]

I lost my Dad a week before Fathers' day this year. He was always a Pink Floyd fan. He taught me how to play the Guitar as a kid but he only knew how to play by ear. He couldn't read music. As a teenager I introduced him to tabs. He was blown away. We played a little together but we didn't like the same songs at the time. - it was my fault as a punk a$$ teenager that was too cool for his dad. FFWD 20 years and I would give anything to go back to listening to him and his friends play and record some classics on a reel to reel. Your videos make me want to knock the dust off his old Guild, the one that's been hanging on the wall for a while, and burn some callouses back in. I haven't played in years but pops would absolutely love it. I wish he was still here. "and then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun.."

[@coreyheuvel]

🙏 ❤️

[@trevorfromengland]

💜💚💛❤💙🧡 Go for it.....that Guild deserves to be played, Jerry

[@GroundbreakGames]

Sorry for your loss. Been missing my dad a lot lately and this brought a tear to my eye.

[@meherhowji]

Hope you find love and peace again! ❤ Those lines you mentioned, touches my heart the same way!

[@lkwrules]

Hope you find peace in music again.

[@bourgsen8601]

My mind is blown. You are setting the bar higher with performances like this.

[@cletesizemore2780]

Excellent.

[@costaliberta5969]

nah, bot really. he's still getting an applaud.

[@TWGarg]

I don’t know why, but this brought tears to my eyes. I guess this is what happens when a cover artist does a song justice. Beautiful.

[@КлимСомов-х6с]

Same

[@mrswan7745]

Dude i gotta say you have probably the most artfully pictographic acoustic covers of electric songs Ive ever seen. Flawless work man its gorgeous stuff

[@AndyRhodes1]

Very true

[@CasperLabuschagne]

Not many Pink Floyd covers around since here lies the hallowed ground that only the most talented may enter - Corey Heuvel owns this territory.

[@timhalley6987]

So good to see the younger generation embracing the solo acoustic approach. People don't realize most electric stuff was written that way. This is just outstanding. And I really like the small-bodied Stonebridge.

[@gened9787]

Every song this dude does is top quality. Love watching his videos

[@emruyan]

absolutely

[@tylerkraft41]

Soon buddy, you’re gonna have so many more followers... the algorithms got u in its sights. More and more every week, just please don’t stop uploading my god dude ur incredible

[@dominikocon2394]

yup, i just start listening, hes playng affect me with some new ideas, great playng, keep it rolling dude!

[@estebancandiaburgos]

same here, inspiration/motivation comes instantly after listen him play

[@mattz8234]

He's too talented to have many followers. Besides he's got no cleavage, long hair or seducing smiles.

[@MrBenG3]

@@mattz8234 not to mention he doesn't mumble, or rap, or speak of sex money drugs etc.

[@jrenaud22]

You may be right. I just found him because YT suggested his Little Wing cover to me. Upon checking how active his channel was, I subscribed immediately. I can't believe I haven't been watching him for years.

[@joshbrown487]

God damn, I’ve listened to this countless times now and I still can’t get over how great that solo is, never heard an acoustic guitar solo like it. Props ;)

[@natchezbone]

Solo is 🔥 🔥 🔥 like to see him and Billy Strings collab on something!

[@matthewguilfoyle1660]

This guy has the best taste out of any cover channel I’ve seen

[@mikeoxlong5568]

The Acoustician got a new serious competitor goddamn you're good

[@מנגו-ר1ח]

Wow, your guitar playing is so clean and accurate.

[@jeffb8562]

I’ve never heard classical guitar thrown into a Floyd solo. You did very well. Bravo.

[@Mxrider92i]

Massage for my ears and my soul right there.

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Beautifully done… Love to see young people appreciating classic music like this and doing justice to it!👍🎸☮️

[@TheCybrKnyf]

Wow, bro - you are the GOAT of acoustic sounds. Close enough to original so that nobody mistakes it, yet so perfectly crisp that most will consider it better than the original - and believe me, Pink Floyd is a tough act to follow - but you just murdered that track. I could listen to you all day...

[@carlrickards6708]

You just broke You Tube ! !!! This is pure talent! Great job !!! Thank you for posting!

[@thebeastlybest]

All hail algorithm. This guy deserves the hits!!! What a legend!

[@rhythmiccolor9648]

Over the years your voice has slowly but surely caught up to your amazing guitar playing, it's been incredible to watch.

[@stanlemke3569]

I am playing the rhythm while you're in your solo, you made my day!

[@alexaponte3664]

You are the bomb, playing pink floyd songs on acoustic.

[@ronsta11]

This is what music should do to people. Inspire them to make something exceptional like this. My friend, you are truly gifted. God bless you and thank you for the beautiful music you create for all of us. I truly enjoyed it.

[@davidnunnery7339]

Beautiful cover pal. Saw the Floyd Knebworth 90 with my brother and some friends. A night to remember

[@johnh5738]

Just...beautiful, bud. Well balanced skill and expression and soulfulness... I can only imagine those long, long hours of practice.

[@danymajr]

Dood... KZbin's definitely hating on talents like this... literally the best cover of this song period! P.Floyd would be so so fucking proud!!!

[@vitordeandradeszmaragd1262]

One of the bests covers i have ever seen. Simply amazing

[@MyKoolTV2042]

❤ wonderful

[@RVERBINSKY]

Wow! How in the earth are there so many talented people like him? I loved this cover.

[@kylestringer7879]

This dude does the best covers ive ever seen in my life. No bullshit hes the real deal

[@carlrichards9333]

I can honestly say I've never come across a better singer/acoustic guitar player than this dude.... You really have raised the bar, absolutely sensational 🙏

[@robpearson9526]

Corey, as a fellow guitar player/singer, I can appreciate the time that you've put into this. It's evident that this is truly your passion, as it is mine. I really enjoyed this! Well done brother, well done indeed!

[@chriscarr6392]

Amazing cover. The guitar playing is pure art. Thanks so much!

[@sonkelohndorf6593]

Auf Deutsch wir haben das vor 6 Jahren ungefähr gecovert. Dieser song ist so verdammt schwer... Daher, ziehe ich den Hut vor dir!!!! Grossartig, deine Interpretation! Echt richtig gut

[@iconliving9076]

Oh, the amazing things a guitar can do when it's in the hands of a true master.

[@christhiele3836]

Corey provides a unique catalyst for me to time travel back to some of the best years of my teenage years. What an amazing artist!

[@mateopuna98]

I didn’t think an acoustic cover of this song could so tremendously good. Kudos to you! You are an amazing and incredibly talented musician, and you inspire me to be a better musician myself

[@billburtis8616]

I can listen to well done Pink Floyd covers all day, every day. More please Corey.

[@aneily]

The solo is truly exceptional, wow 😳🔥 The whole performance really does justice to the original. But that solo, I havent seen many people be able to do that, that was really deep broSki 🙏🏽

[@fatmanbhkbjorn]

Just binged like 6-7 songs, totally slack-jawed, and then it dawned on me; Corey too, started out a total noob, just like me. So glad my brain won’t let me get discouraged, but rather inspired by such awesomeness. I will just keep practicing - everyday. Thank you, Corey ❤

[@amrshlomr]

very thankful for you my dude. I actually listen to all your covers while i work and in my off time i am a patron and try to learn from you. Highly recommend this guys! Thanks Corey!

[@GrumpusMaximus83]

So we have the first press of this album. And the sad part is that I have been a snooty human despite being Indian. But this is the cleanest version of these tracks that I have heard, ever. Period. Absolutely joyfully awesome mate!

[@lionelmax2953]

Wow. This is might be the best Pink Floyd cover I’ve seen in this style, amazing talent man. Keep up the good work!

[@amrshlomr]

For anyone hesitant to subscribe to Corey's patreon, I can vouch that he took my guitar playing to an entirely new level and I haven't even scratched the surface of his videos. 10/10 one of the absolute best guitarists on here

[@amrshlomr]

I watch his videos so much i forget which ones i already commented on lmao

[@coreyheuvel]

Thanks so much Omar! Appreciate you man 🤘 🙏

[@sorenarad8]

One of the best cover I've ever seen from this songs. Thanks a lot man 👌🏻♥️🌱

[@peterjohnston8486]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@hedonisticsociety361]

Watching it everyday since weeks and still cant get enough off of it. Awesome work, thank you!!!

[@capoman1]

I'm so impressed with Corey's knowledge and use of theory and chords and scales... This something that simple tabs will never teach you.

[@johnsyversen3460]

I don't leave comments but wow that was fantastic!! A great version of one of my favorite songs, big thumbs up!

[@ravinwolf4970]

Wow. Happy I ran into Corey. Dude knows how to work hard and it’s really really good at it.🎶🤙

Fantastic acoustic cover of a masterpiece

[@leerontaimusic]

You nailed this spot on! A very nice song cover. It's such a wonderful treat to listen to this. I love everything about this song cover - your wonderful voice, your skillful guitar playing and the entire arrangement of this. You definitely deserve more attention to your work than you are getting right now. Keep on going, Corey.

amzing song and singing!

[@kyleralexis8974]

Absolutely f***ing amazing

[@edwardcancienne5359]

Actually after listening to your version of this song frequently over the last few years. Your version of this song is now my favorite. Well done

[@miguela.a.p.135]

this songs are to high for my voice, any way you nailed it. One of the best covers i´ve seen here; nice to hear and watch.

This is unbelievable. Pure flow.

Lyrics: #Breathe(in the air)# Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, but don't leave me Look around And choose your own ground For long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run, rabbit, run Dig that hole, forget the Sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave #Time# Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun But it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The Sun is the same in a relative way But you're older Shorter of breath And one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught Or half a page of scribbled lines (oh, oh) Hanging on in quiet desperation Is the English way The time is gone, the song is over Thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells

[@michaeldavenport1378]

Icrediballs and amazeballs! Never thought I’d hear such an amazing, acoustic version of this song, which has always been one of my faves.

[@ofekshapira4393]

Did you manage to learn it?

[@pavmar5197]

I'm aware this comment is a year old , but as a little tip for the solo part, you can play anything you want within the pentatonic scale in the right key. Improvise a bit, dosent have to be identical, that's the beauty of art.

[@gilbertjeffery2696]

Hands down my favorite guitarist on this app

[@pinksasquatch]

huh? The quality looks good to me.

@@pinksasquatch it's not bad, and I am not really thinking about the sound quality. More the background, ambiance, camera angle etc. It is minor changes but will do a big difference imo
