This just goes to show that Elliott's music reaches beyond a solo artist on guitar, his music can be seen as classically brilliant and emotionally touching beyond anything he could have ever imagined. Miss ya Mr. Smith

[@heavypiano]

Totally agree. Beautifully put!

[@AbsoluteMotivation]

Unbelievable

[@heavypiano]

Thank you.

[@Ethanimor]

I have listened to this version countless time.

[@heavypiano]

Thanks for listening, Ethan.

[@thomasledluz]

Can't stop :)

[@Rangrati]

The flow your fingers have and the way you mimic the plucking sound of the guitar was done so well. You put so much emotion into this cover... It seems impossible. I love it

[@chrisatkeson4638]

Man what a gift you have. So lucky to have all these covers on youtube

[@heavypiano]

Thanks, Chris.

Thanks Hike.

My daughter is 14, and she is obsessed with Elliott Smith, who has been her most played musical act on her Spotify for the last two years. Eternal music.

[@chinchiIIa]

Does your daughter play guitar?

[@jodysawatzki8647]

This sounds remarkably like a Ben Folds riff, and I’m not complaining. He and Elliott are my life. Especially the latter.

[@heavypiano]

Really flattered, thanks!

[@SutpensHundred]

One Elliott’s most beautiful songs! I love this arrangement! Thank you!

[@joshuapiper]

I really appreciate your kind compliments. I am thinking about taking these recordings and making an album, but I need to arrange mechanical licenses first. I already spent a bit of money on my last album, and have another album in the works that I'd like to take to the studio with a bassist and drummer, so I only have money for one project at a time!

@@heavypiano I usually sing this one which makes it harder to play anything complex under it. We are playing the same chord progressions. What I really need is one of your Grand Pianos

After listening to this probably 800 times, is there a chance you may put this on Spotify?

[@dahliafiend]

He was a master of melody and lyrics. Never devolving into plodding doom sounding music even though he wrote sometimes absolute psychological horror. There will be never be another Elliot. All due respect to Kurt but Elliott was the voice of my generation. It’s incredibly rare a musician of that caliber is also a brilliant songwriter and lyricist. In fact I don’t think there’s anyone really. Love Nick Drake and the usual comparisons but that was s different thing entirely. Nick Drake couldn’t sing Because perfectly or play Rachmaninov or sing about preparing for death.

I am finding it hard to be or atleast to sound crtitical. Even as i type, listening to your sound, i support my thumbs up wholeheartedly. It's an E.S. song. Have a good day, yet not but, i studder only in that i think you went from zero to hero......elevator to jumping out of a window higher up than usual. I digress because I fear pretention and honestly you killed it on twilight...i mean colorbars. you towed the line. solution. ballin dude.

killer.

Loving your Elliott and Radiohead covers - Spotify needs more of you - did you work a little bit of "Just the way it is baby" by the Rembrandts into this?

[@heavypiano]

Thanks Thomas! If I worked in the Rembrandts it was unintentional. Most of the Radiohead arrangements should be on Spotify.

Hello Joshua, This is incredibly beautiful! I'm recovering from a brain injury, now I'm able to listen to music again, I've been listening to your channel today and it's truly mesmerising and astoundingly captivating. You're an amazing artist! I was wondering if I could use this fantastic piano piece that you created to create a cover version as a tribute for what would have been Elliott Smith's 50th birthday on the 6th of August? It would be me singing. (I have a couple of rough recordings on my channel if you wondered what I sound like.) It's a tribute and I'd be making no money from the cover. I would of course credit you. Thank you for reading. Please let me know. Best wishes, Luci

[@heavypiano]

I'm very flattered by your comments. I don't mind at all if you create a tribute using my version. I wish you all the best!

[@MsLuciMahon]
