I never realized just how beautifully composed that song actually is.

[@bloodboughtsaint777]

Most of the great Metal Songs out there are heavily influenced by Classical music. In fact, taking all of the studio processing and other electronic modifications out of those Metal Songs, and putting them onto a piano lets us know that Metal is not far at all from the Classical Music from hundreds of years ago. In fact, I do argue that Metal Music of a high quality is our Modern Classical Music. Not to be confused with Neo-Classical Music. So, it's not hard for me to see this master piece put to a piano. However, her performance reminds us not only of the skill these musicians have, but the fact that they really do know their stuff, and aren't just playing the same 3 chords.

[@jimthompson8947]

A great loss throughout your life

[@easterdm]

@@bloodboughtsaint777 Exactly. Most metal musicians in Europe, especially places like Finland, Sweden, Norway, are classically trained from a very young age. It's part of their schooling.

I'm a US Army veteran (was in Germany when the wall fell) and combat veteran from the Gulf War. We listened to Metallica all the time after the war. I'm not into heavy metal, but the Fade to Black album spoke to me. I took many years of piano lessons. You've brought it all together for me. The band and songs are truly musical master pieces. I can't help but cry to hear your playing of their songs. It brings so many pieces of my life together. Thank you for touching me so profoundly. It is magical.

To be honest, it was actually more beautiful than I expected. The vocal melodies sound beautifully expressive compared to the original version sung by James, which was one of his first attempts at actually singing and sounded a little awkward. The riffs, translated to piano, add to the emotional dramatism of the song and also sound great. Congratulations, really impressed me beyond just translating a song to piano.

[@TheLucidDreamer12]

Bach, Chopin, and Liszt are infamous for doing exactly that. Bach usually had 4 voices to mirror the bass, tenor, alto, and soprano opera singers. Liszt liked using 5 to add in a tenor singer

[@InhumanImplant]

With this song, definitely know your left hand or the "coordination issue" part lol The more you play it, you'll catch on and won't even know your left hand is there, you shouldn't have to think or anticipate left hand in order to play the song. it's basically like playing on autopilot, the more you play it the more it becomes natural.

[@majorgeek7401]

the genius is in the arrangement, i.e. her 'version' of the song, as you say representing all the parts played by multiple instruments. The playing is good too

[@Жизньсоспотромнавседа]

@@alphamale7783 Excellent point. I had totally forgotten that Cliff Burton (R.I.P.) had a background in classical music.

[@alphamale7783]

@@m.shanebritton7830 There is a lot of Bach in Burton, however I guess he just excelled standing on shoulders of giants as some of the stuff Cliff Burton's Metallica played was in part traversing The well Tempered Clavier in ways not experienced until the 1980s.

It's my favorite song of Metallica, you play very well !

[@trozheka]

Одна из любимых песен самого лучшего альбома группы Metallica! Саша порадовала в эти грустные дни самоизоляции ))) Спасибо!

[@sergeymusatov4158]

В конце словил себя на мысли, что перестал дышать, чтобы не пропустить ни одной ноты. Без пафоса, исполнение захватывает дух! 😊

Шедевр можно и нужно пробовать услышать по новому. Это здорово, когда слезы у мужика от музыки льют.....СПАСИБО!

[@rockudar]

Приятно увидеть и услышать такой красивый кавер на такую красивую песню от такой красивой исполнительницы)) Однозначный лайк от поклонника творчества Metallica)))

[@MrStr43]

Урааа новый видос от Александры. Во время карантина, как глоток свежего воздуха, своей красотой исцеляет взор, а умением игры слух! 😍

Клифф Бёртон тоже играл на фортепиано и это заметно по его произведениям) Божественно! Лайк!

Фух, чуваак, я уж не чаял имя автора (Бёртона) в комментах узреть ++

[@darksculd]

До мурашек... До музыкального оргазм, чччерт!!! Знакомый рифф, и прочее знакомо, Но как шикарно прозвучало соло! По клавишам изящен пальцев бег, Твой кавер- в памяти останется навек. Огромное спасибо!!!!

[@davidmontes3956]

Seriously, made me cry. This is beautiful, so far the best piano cover I've heard in my life. Congratulations and thank you for making me feel too many emotions with this performance. No words for describing it.

[@jeremy782]

What a tremendously magnificent rendition of such a beautiful song done absolutely so well and with such heart and obvious passion!

[@shivanshsingh8173]

I can't comprehend number of hours or even days went into arranging and perfecting this song, and all of that summarized in 5 min video. Definitely earned my sub and thousands of other people who love metal.

From the looks of it, this is the most technically complex song you've covered so far. Great job! Also, I'm so glad that this video was just of you and the piano. I know your cinematographer works hard and does a pretty good job, but I much prefer seeing just you and your piano, working your craft. Badass song choice, as well!

[@danielbuchanan1564]

She is so pretty. And I liked the editing. I liked the videography. But it only uplifts her music. "Fade to Black" is my jam and she crushed it!

[@claeslind9532]

Rhythm and lead together at the end made me catch my breathe, absolutely mind blowing cover and sounds so beautiful on the piano.

[@TheJoelsr1]

I am a huge Metallica fan and Fade to Black is one of my favorite songs but I've never seen it played like that! I was wondering how she would hit Kirk's solo at the end and not only did she nail that but she kept James's rythem going as well. Im sure the band would be very proud of this! Great job 👏

[@andremarques5574]

Oh, my god! I'm a huge Metallica fan and I had never heard a piano version of this song! This is certainly one of the greatest things I have ever heard in my entire life! Congratulations for your talent! Greetings from Brazil!

Lyrics to sing together. Life it seems to fade away Drifting further everyday Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me but now, he's gone No one but me can save myself, but its too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye Goodbye
