[@fuzznutfilms]

every couple of years or so I re-discover this video again and love it every time.

[@cokoblackk]

Me too🥲😭

[@switchbladeshawtyyy]

SAME… evan duffy 💜

[@peacekagiso9045]

I just discovered the song few days ago 😉

[@frutigermetroboomin]

same

[@ryxnwil]

Same lol

[@amopat5]

I just got married and this was the song that the wedding party and myself walked down the isle to. This was the song that was playing when the gravity of the situation hit me. I had been looking forward to this moment for a while. And I’m glad it was to this song. Thank you Evan!

[@umershaikh7179]

The song was playing instrumental or the actual song?

[@kofe87]

This instrumental does seem like a good song to walk down the isle to.

[@ok1989fish]

Amazing choice and great idea!!

[@jessconstable26]

I walked down the aisle with my dad to this cover earlier this month ❤

[@AniSky759]

My favorite song by Deadmau5, in a different perspective. Love it.

[@themooseisontheloose]

***** I saw Joel's reaction when he found the guy that did the vocals. I couldn't help but laugh my ass off.

[@TheAris621]

+themooseisontheloose Hahaha priceless moment

[@jimethota]

I love it how all of Evan Duffy's videos comments are just people commenting positive things, goes to show the effect music has on people.

[@freddymeisner]

Jimeth I was gonn like this comment but it has 69 likes currently. Instead, I’m just gonna agree with you via a comment.

[@jarrednaidoo4260]

Music is the most pure form of happiness. I remember the first time I watch this in 2013 it made me cry

[@kellcifur6985]

7 years later, and I think the Mau5 would still be very proud of you. Please make a comeback ❤️

[@TheUnexpected6]

hey man, i used to hear this song cover of yours from the back of my parents car in 2013, back when we used to go to the beach and eat typical foods from our island and whatnot. It was so nice hearing this as we drove around. KZbin recommended brought me back here and honestly I couldn't be any happier. This brings me back to that time and place and I just couldn't remember that without this. I hope you're well.

[@Franporky19]

I started crying to this. Seriously. You really catch all the emotion this song has. Thanks a lot for making me feel.

[@catdog5820]

Franporky19 I felt the tears to bro

[@oliverpowell9365]

Evan duffy piano covers I find is the best thing to listen to while trying to study or get works done.

[@SiGy3]

You and Deadmau5 are pure gold

[@nataliehaschek3860]

this is honestly one of the most amazing pieces of music i have ever heard. the first time i watched this video i cried and then seeing deadmau5 play this live at ultra i sobbed. wow, just wow.

[@LackedMushroom0]

Every once in a few months I come bace to this video, it does the song such great justice! I recently read the Veldt, amazing song, book and cover!

[@kindredspirit3960]

those quick over-an-octave jumps are kickin' rad sir

[@12Avoid]

I've watched this at least twenty times and I still get chills up my spine.

[@Majestic184]

why hasnt this a million clicks? Its absolutely outrageous!

[@mdefrancesco92]

So beautiful. This is my favorite song of all time and this gave me chills.

[@kriskemp4226]

I used to listen to this song, the original, while riding the subway in NYC. And, while listening, I would be dancing in place. Thanks for this!

[@juanramosjr.3830]

2:20 Just magical.

[@ChrisKrunchy]

deadmau5's songs are already amazingly comforting at any level, and yet this soft piano cover makes everything even better!

[@tessamarie3106]

I love how passionate he is when he is playing. Truly incredible.

[@ohsnap4966]

one of my fav songs and fav covers ever

[@Bluewhitegrl]

If every fan posted this song on their Facebook page, more people would grow to love and appreciate Evan's talent. I challenge everyone to do it. I do it often and am amazed at how many people are blown away. Keep up the great work, Evan! This is an amazing cover!

[@TheAmazingPeet]

When I was going through a bit of a rough patch in my life this summer I listened to a lot of music to help cope and "The Veldt" was one of the songs I listened to a lot so when I heard this version I got the chills because it was so good. Excellent job.

[@D1RTYD4N13L5]

The world that the children madeeee

[@sclitchmusic]

Hereeeeee

[@vgbondarev]

@@sclitchmusic Happy life with the machines, scattered around the room. Look what they made, they made for me, happy technology.

[@AMAZINGBEAST6]

Taking an amazing song to begin with, and making it eargasmic. I approve.

[@JessieJ7948]

YOU ARE PHENOMENAL! this song sounds so good on piano.

[@MsTransformersrules]

He does such a splendid job at capturing emotion in the pieces he selects. Someone should make him famous because this is talent.

[@celestialnubian]

Over a million views and you deserve every one.

[@TheCreativeCreeps]

I loved this song before hearing the cover. Now I love it more.

[@Adog13]

Found you too late. You bring a modern mysticism to the piano. A sound I truly crave. Thanks for uploading

[@PerlasNegrasXII]

"I decided not to go too crazy with the virtuosic elements" 1:41

[@cmreillythegreat]

Lolz. compared to the Rach prelude he plays really goddamned well, this IS pretty tame.

[@kawaiininja4036]

Omg, you are amazing!! Hearing my favorite deadmau5 songs this way makes me love them even more. I would LOVE to hear more!!

[@Ryan-vn7de]

This song brings me so much peace in a world full of uncertainty

[@sargentchau]

your piano playing is amazing.

[@socialinxMD]

this is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. I love the Veldt and saw it live at Wireless this year, and this arrangement is mind blowing. I could sit in a room and watch this video all day, it nearly brings me to tears everytime. 10,000 more subscribers and he'll create Strobe, what are you waiting for?

[@anthonycareyanthonyc]

Anyone trying to learn this? I'm up to the chorus after months and am struggling. The fact that someone can compose this from scratch amazes me and puts into perspective how good this kid is!

[@MsTransformersrules]

This is awesome. And I like how he does piano covers of EDM and dubstep instead of mainly pop like a lot of people on youtube.

[@domino-mao8912]

Great "The Veldt" piano cover - aka my favorite deadmau5/Chris James song!

[@SynAstra]

I shed tears while listening to this, not joking. Just too freakin amazing.

[@hamboneh2701]

Lyrics: Happy life, with the machines. Scattered around the room, Look what they made, they made it for me, happy technology. Outside, the lions run, feeding on remains. We'll never leave, look at us now, so in love with the way we are. Chorus: Here x1 the world that the children made x2 Here, the world that the children made x2

[@jokiboy9153]

+hambone h cool

[@reedy484]

hambone h The lions roam*

[@hlcd1]

its outside the lions ROOM not run...

[@jackmen4]

Every pianist in this world knows the feeling of playing the piano. I felt it.

[@alpharius-l]

This is so damn beautiful....

[@branstenming1]

i can't even begin to explain how much i love this. i watch this video at least 3 times a day

[@emiliabernal4945]

It’s 2019, I’m listening to this, and ngl, I’m tearing up a bit

[@zadsazhad]

Its 2024 and i still come back here for his cover

[@damonchristie]

A fantastic version of one of my favourite songs ever!! Evan takes it to another level that can never be captured on a synth!

[@arthurgudu4178]

Omg... How many hands do you have dude? This is awesome...

[@Lde790]

Arthur Gudu I count 2. 2 hands

[@WannaBWatermelon]

You are so talented. Sometimes i come back here just to listen

[@TheQmara]

Anybody wants sheets? My transcription is almost finished! :)

[@TehCatzMeow]

I WANT PLEASE

[@MoNiBeRrY999]

Me too!! Been wating for YEARS! Thanks!

[@WitMasterB]

Me too!

[@jobwaalwijk1992]

I'd like them too please

[@TheQmara]

Job Waalwijk & others, check my channel, sheets are there. I said the transcription is almost finished three weeks ago! :)

[@brianbernstein3826]

as both a pianist and a fan of deadmau5, I have to tell you honestly, you are an extremely good transcriber and performer. bravo to all your planning, memorizing and execution, I know how much work it is to do projects like this.

[@josepimentel9362]

2:11 This part OMG!!! ❤️😭

[@13karatemaster]

I think it was completely necessary actually, this cover took enormous amounts of skill to master and I wish people would appreciate it more than a Korean guy prancing around. Merry Christmas!

[@glenorbell6218]

You made one more person happy today

[@alekplayer1]

this deserves the vocals sung along with it. its really great that evan i taking the electronic music back to the classical age(whatever that means). found this channel yesterday.

[@BROKEPINKY]

Who are the 71 people who disliked this? I mean how can anyone dislike this video???!???!!???!!!!??

[@markhuyser6246]

Jealousy. Not being able to do what he does. Simple. ;-)

[@Pedro_del_Rod]

That, or people who's dicks are so small that disliking is the only thing that satisfies their sad sad sorry excuse for a purpose in life. I literally met like 3 guys who literally had nothing better to do than give me fat jokes. 3 years later, i got tired of giving a fuck.

[@uski]

I have noticed that most videos on KZbin have close to 1% dislikes. The better the videos, the lower the ratio, but most of the time it's close to 1%. I'm pretty sure it's not actually people disliking the video but KZbin enforcing a minimum dislike amount.

[@Dooky_Doo]

Muggles.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

@@Pedro_del_Rod losers bro

[@user-bv7lc4yi6e]

I can listen to this over and over and it never gets old

[@grzegorzka2144]

Duffy rules

[@rminice]

Yea, I hear it too now that you mentioned it and I tried to listen for it. Now I can't stop hearing it!

[@SamElsden]

I can imagine this in the original Sims build mode.

[@acjbloomerful]

Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude for this and your strobe cover. Long have I said that electro

[@mastablasta5540]

2024 who is there?

[@BoredPCGuy]

So glad I stumbled across this. Between this and your other work... I'm speechless.

[@uski]

"No Sheet Music/MIDI Available" Yea and that sucks.

[@cmyersguy]

My god, you truly put East West Pianos to work. Sounds amazing, and just from this video alone, I now want a VST which I had once thought too much money for what it was. Beautiful.

[@ryanh5239]

Fantastic. Anyone who put a thumbs down is just a trolling loser, so just ignore them. Great piece.

[@jesalpatel5497]

Ryan H No they're not

[@Lde790]

Rawan Patel yes they are. Fuck yourself

[@darkento]

I've been listing to your covers for hours. YOU ARE AMAZING.

[@marlondeagle]

Which VST Plugin is he using?

[@Lde790]

Marlon Deagle Sylenth 1

[@nocturnal7345]

Lol, that's definitely not sylenth1.

[@Lde790]

M & M Sarcasm.

[@nocturnal7345]

You don't seem to sound sarcasm at all. The fact that the plugin does look kinda like sylenth1. But if it is, then okay.

[@Lde790]

M & M Looks more like toxic biohazard than sylenth to me. It was most definitely sarcasm.

[@spankygang4028]

Man just loved this cover and you really play the hell out of that Rollin electric!

[@rolandoperezlocon2782]

SHEET MUSIC?

[@Nathey15]

Just found your Strobe deadmau5 cover and was amazed, even more amazed to find you've got a range of deadmau5 covers - subscribed, added to favorites & will be back daily! :D

[@sebtodd97]

best shit on youtube.. 10,000 of your views were from me

[@adamcan888]

I can't wait to see your strobe cover!! You are the best pianist I've seen on KZbin!

[@Rightwardsky]

Is it just me, or does every piano cover of a dubstep song sound like it belongs in a JRPG?

[@Mujibar010]

Rightwardsky well this isn't dubstep to begin...

[@Rightwardsky]

Mujibar010 Then I apologize, I'm not really all that familiar with Deadmau5. Allow me to rephrase: "Is it just me, or does every piano cover by this guy sound like it belongs in a JRPG"?

[@Mujibar010]

Rightwardsky then in that case...yeah. yeah i see it.

[@robinenlennard]

Rightwardsky I guess it's because a lot of electronic pop music (not nearly all electronic music) has these uplifting melodies and themes, and he covers a lot of electronic pop

[@Mujibar010]

Lennard Lennard most rememberable songs have very strong melodies that provoke emotion, and thats why they become popular. totally agree with you here man!

[@hsupertrampify]

God..., I play the piano and i absoultely love the songs played at piano, this is a truly good version!!! i really love it

[@CreativePianoChannel]

great work!

[@davidmcpeak5519]

This and your rendition of the veld are absolutely amazing. Loved them!!

[@tessamarie3106]

just watching him gives me the chills.. he is probably the best piano player ever to live.. seriously

[@Oscar797]

Absolutely lost for words! If this isn't music, then nothing is. Awesome job, you earned yourself a subscriber! ^^

[@arrowbinder]

THANK YOU! i've only just gotten into deadmau5 (normally more of a dnb fan) and i've had this song in my head for days! normally playing it on the piano gets rid of it, but this time my own arrangement wasn't sufficient enough to do it. i was so glad to see you had a vid of this song because i always steal a lot of your ideas when i play and it makes it so much more interesting, so thank-you again! you are my hero!!! also if you're into netsky, i'd love to see your take on some of his songs

[@jordanbank8679]

March 7 2018 and still listening. Truly inspiring.

[@skyblu11]

really? i've been watching piano covers of this song but there is nobody who makes it as well as you evan. Just amazing !!

[@moritabieber17]

I love how he puts passion on it, beatiful

[@DJJovian]

i actually watched the ustream of him producing this track. fucking amazing. you did it justice. too many people think of electronic music as not real music. you prove them wrong. props.

[@musicfancier]

oh my head me too! i swear! i sat down to listen to it and w/in seconds it brought tears to my eyes! so beautiful! what a composition!

[@jcklbb]

you are too good at this and i like your style with choosing this sort of music your definitely the first ive seen do stuff like this.

[@rocharoch]

this makes me cry i truly love this with all my heart :')

[@iamstd2]

Every time I come to just listen to this, I end up watching your awesome skills...

[@chaodubz]

listening to this cover in 2021... still as beautiful as ever

[@teefafeedies]

I have to say this gives me a shiver down the spine. LOVE IT

[@maureenerwin6485]

love it... beautiful decrescendo at 2:11... I randomly ran into one of Chris' sisters in a restaurant, I was wearing Deadmau5 shirt.

[@anthurion1]

Sir, this was amazing, and one of the most beautiful piano covers I have listened to. Thank you.

[@lucasz93]

Such a admiration to you but also to many other people who can play piano like this! I've listen to 2 covers of you, and the songs are just as good as the covers. Can't wait for a new coverd song.

[@kristina435]

just hearing you for the first time, dude you are so insanely talented. Im so happy I have found your music its really special

[@sandradoss4159]

One of the most amazing music pieces I've ever heard. You are amazingly talented.. I already love the song and I'm in love with you! Just keep being so wonderful and inspiring.

[@motionmrmakr]

I never thought I'd say this, but its better than the original, this song was made for piano and you nailed it

[@sillyveevee]

I actually can't express how much I love this, It's been on my favorites playlist on my ipod for a while now c:
