Keep Me In The Open - Gang Of Youths (cover)

[@Dslayer62]

Tahlia I don't know if you'll ever read this comment, but Go Farther in Lightness also changed my life. After a breakup I found this album and listened to 'Do not let your spirit wayne' every day on the way to work. The album inspired me to do something absolutely wild with my head held high and I moved from Australia to London - leaving everything behind. I've been here for a year and I'm about to go home. I think I've grown into myself and become a much more mature, independant, and confident person. Listening to your cover while reflecting on my time here is really helping me realise how far I've come. I'm close to to being able to think about her, and my past self, without shame, regret, and jealousy. Thank you, this is a beautiful cover. I hope you continue to sing, even if you don't upload anything to youtube anymore. Go Farther in Lightness.

It's amazing how a song can take on such a new vibe just by having a female voice -- and a beautiful one at that. This is terrific, Tahlia!

Thank you so much! I’m hoping to post some more Gang of Youths covers in the near future - they are one of my favourite bands of all time. Glad to see another person appreciating them as much as me!

Hey there, love this song! Is there any chance you have a better video of you playing the piano? I'm relatively new to piano and would like to learn how to play this song

[@talzei]

Dominic Holden thank you! Sorry I think this is the only video I kept when I recorded this cover, I actually used some chords I found online, and played around in the key to find the melody I play in between the verses. I’m actually relatively new to piano too, and self taught haha! I generally have to sit there and play melodies and rifs over and over until I build up the muscle memory as I’m not classically trained. Sorry if this isn’t very helpful!

also, how fucking amazing is gang of youths?? i also think that im unhealthily obsessed

[@flyinggeese1868]

oh my. that is beautiful. wow!! next time though please increase the volume of your wonderful vocal, because the piano kinda drowns it out. but still an amazing cover, ive had it on loop for the last half our and i still am in love with it

[@talzei]

flyinggeese thank you so much for being so kind!!! I have been working on my sound in my newer covers, hopefully I will fix the sound issues I’m having completely in the future! Thanks again 😌

[@flyinggeese1868]

thats totally cool, the whole cover completely makes up for the minor sound issue :)

[@jacksonbowen867]

Help me learn how to play this!!

[@talzei]

Jackson Bowen honestly I just got the chords online and note bashed until I played the right thing lol I’m not much of an instrumentalist, I can only play enough to accompany myself haha but good luck! If I can figure it out anyone can i reckon (I really don’t know what I’m doing)
