"Esther" by Phish would make a fun piano cover, and Judson probably already knows it by heart.

Cuts you up - Peter Murphy (interpretation)

[@tobra7330]

Stone the crow from Down

What a beautiful interpretation, as usual! I'd really love to hear "Down in a hole" or "Nutshell" by Alice in Chains

[@texashookem22]

Eddie gave this song the weight it needed and deserved. You've added gravity. The two juxtapose with intention and precision. Symbiotic and beautiful. Thank you.

[@vctuberista]

Holy shit, that's FUCKIN' BEAUTIFUL!!

[@julien2231]

This is so beautiful and soul wrenching. Great rendition from one of the best songs of all time imo

[@julien2231]

Ps. Would be awesome if eddie could hear that version.

[@Olivia_Neumann]

Okay.. darling Judson, now you’re just out to break hearts… cause that was just breathtakingly beautiful. Really. A meticulously crafted journey from tender introspective moments of nostalgia and melancholy to intense emotional catharsis. The delicate part leading up to and around the 4 minute mark honestly made me tear up. Possibly my favorite so far, so forgive me for going on about it a bit. The thing about pain is, it demands to be felt. And if grief is love with no place to go, I am sorry, because love and hurt is permeating through every note. How sweet it must be to have been loved by you. And may I just say how elated I am that you are being talked into doing more of these recently. I only wish I could take Richard and applaud your utterly soulful and masterful performances from the front seats in that theater.

Wow. I cant say more. Lol ❤

[@claires_epiphany]

I'm in shock at it all🫂

[@Bobbing4Fries]

Wonderful again Judson. I feel like a broken record but as a fellow pianist I cant help but applaud your emotive touch.

[@bumblefluff79]

I became absolutely re-obsessed with this song about a month ago, and this interpretation is a great reimagination. There are some interesting discordant notes in the last couple of minutes which really prick my ears. It's times like this I wish I knew more music theory.

[@JamesHippe-wy9qh]

I'm really liking these interpretations more than the reactions.. you guys make thoroughly entertaining content.. I'll keep watching

[@Brotha_Teresa]

I can close my eyes and imagine Eddie putting his lyrics to this amazing interpretation, but in reality, don’t know if he could. Remembering all the interviews that Eddie did where he didn’t like the song being so popular because it was really an emotional weighted song for him, I’m not sure he could match the added emotional weight that the piano places on the song.

[@joshredraider]

So much to say... Wishing/hoping/asking for an audio only link to download. Incredible interpretation. Headphones on, closed my eyes and the journey was visceral, haunting, heartbreaking, soulful, hopeful. Thank you.

[@homer292]

Damn near perfection could only be better with Eddie singing with you

[@kathleencilino9661]

Thank you, halfway through I realized I was crying, don't know what that was about, but it was beautiful.

[@gunagetcha9483]

very pleasant to listen to Jud... your love of piano and music comes through to us with each video yall post... sincerely, ty both

[@AlbertFX91]

Lovely Judson! Thanks so much for sharing it with us ❤

Spectacular Measures

[@Bellathor]

Nice. I'm not a huge Pearl Jam fan or anything, I liked a couple of their earlier albums and I remember liking the movie and soundtrack for "Into the Wild"... That being said, every time I listen to this live version on KZbin named "Pearl Jam - Black - LIVE 2012 (Crowd Sings!) " I get the chills. That freakin' crowd singing is incredibly powerful.

[@HyperBali]

Thank you❤️👏

[@robinroberts23]

Just so lovely, Judson.

[@judsong]

Well thank you Red! Lovely for you to say so. I certainly hope youre well

[@justplayn2727]

That was incredible!!! As a fan of the band and a piano player you did that song justice!!

[@b1u3star]

Stunning... Judson you made me love this song even more. I'll never hear it the same way again... I'm not sure it's fair to call it a cover but it's my favorite of all the ones I've heard. You really made it your own.🥰

[@enmitygauged44]

Probably my favorite song of all time. What a wonderful version. PJ would be proud!

[@mariecoleman7751]

Thank you, you made a beautiful song even better.

amazing cover of the great song! Thanks! It brings even more the nuances and the multidimensionality of this outstanding piece of music.

Even deeper then the original...wow! .love it. When your album of covers coming out?

[@GregMcNeish]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@AN-nt3uv]

All these empty rows, people have no idea, what they are missing. A new request in addition to Helmet. Could you check Nevermore "Sound of Silence" cover from 2000s album "Dead heart in a dead world"? Thanks for considering and tell Judson, he brings joy to my musical part of the brain and thus a peaceful mood.

[@WUOTH]

sound of silence by nevermore is one of the best covers ever made... imho

[@AN-nt3uv]

@@WUOTH You are so damn right 🤟

[@GabrielEnriqueTamayoCaraveo]

Great performance and great video edition, love the zooming and gradual coloring that go along with the building of the song.
