Mirror - Porter Robinson (Piano Tutorial)

Here is my piano cover of Mirror, from Porter Robinson's upcoming album nurture. I don't usually have too much to say with these uploads, but sitting here waiting for this video to finish rendering has gotten me thinking about how true Porter's message from this song is. Although I've uploaded nearly 200 arrangements on this channel over the past 3 years, there are dozens more half-finished/finished arrangements on my hard drive filled that I never found the courage to upload mainly because of my own self-doubt. As Porter mentioned in his note, it can seem like the majority of criticism comes from other people in our lives when in reality the greatest critic is oneself. I feel like as long as you can say you put everything you had into something, there's really no shame in that.

Sometimes, the inner voice is encouraging Calling for you to run those final few yards You're nearly there Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going It will all be OK in the end

[@traditionallimb]

And if it isn't OK, then it isn't the end yet.

[@RoachRepublic]

Well, you were the aftermath Of every judgment So cold by the sweat that You'll waste away And you carry your enemies But they're so familiar I'm sick of the company So I cull the shame And I know you'll say how I'm a burden Yeah, do your worst, all at once I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking And it's not the voice of all the others You've only said it to yourself I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking (They come to feel like things we're saying to ourselves) An inch from my ears again You should be sorry A solemn man A better song could fix my problems I'm tired of your questioning You're cut down too easily And I don't know what's good for me I can't decide And I know you'll say how I'm a burden Yeah, do your worst, all at once I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking And though they sound like one another You've only said it to yourself I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking (Now these voices have become our own) An inch from my ears again You should be sorry A solemn man A better song could fix my problems I'm tired of your questioning You're cut down too easily And I don't know what's good for me I can't decide And I know you'll say how I'm a burden Yeah, do your worst, all at once I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking And it's not the voice of all the others You've only said it to yourself I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking And I know you'll say how I'm a burden Yeah, do your worst, all at once I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking And though they sound like one another You've only said it to yourself I know what you want from me (from me) I know what you're thinking

This is the exact length of the actual song, it was fun to sing to, thank you!

[@Pianobin]

Glad you enjoyed! ^^

Searched piano version of this song and did not expect to find it, but here we are. Thank you! So beautiful

[@Pianobin]

Much appreciated!

[@shirokyunch.official]

I give you all my respect, this is beautiful

[@MrMeeseeksPiano]

Damn, not only this was fast, but also a great job!

[@Pianobin]

Much appreciated Mr.Meeseeks!

[@jay-virm]

This recreation brought me to tears! I love this! I’ll definitely start practicing when I get the chance! I was always wondering how people would recreate that glitchy intro sound. You seem to have found a way to make it sound beautiful!

[@Pianobin]

Thank you, and thanks for the request for this song the other day! I was stumped on the intro so I ended up doing it last, and just played around with different harmonies until I found something I liked. I'm definitely interested in seeing how other people perceive and recreate the glitchy sounds!

[@Cook1eSP]

This was so fast I wasn't expecting a high quality piano cover/tutorial as this due to the beautiful but complex beats in this song typically the glitch affect. Well done and thank you!

[@Pianobin]

Thanks for the kind words! Started working on this right after the premiere ended and woke up early to finish editing the video haha ^^

[@Cook1eSP]

@@Pianobin you're welcome also noticed your channel has my fav artists Porter Robinson, Madeon and EDEN! You've earned my sub sir.

[@NuclearChicken1000]

This is absolutely perfect, I cannot tell you how many times I have come back to this cover! Love it!

[@Pianobin]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@NuclearChicken1000]

@@Pianobin no thanks needed! Any chance you are able to upload on Spotify? 😅

[@Pianobin]

These videos are more for educational and tutorial purposes, so I've actually never considered putting them on Spotify. Thank you for the interest though, I'll keep it in mind for the future!

[@carolgardens7294]

A lovely time in my morning,just listening. We can teach our noisy self critic that we CANNOT learn,if we do not make mistakes because that is how the human brain works best. Keep sharing with your listeners.You bring so much joy to me.

[@Pianobin]

Thanks for the kind words Carol, much appreciated!!

This is absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job.

[@VortexStolenName]

I synced it perfectly with the original music video, and turned the volume down slightly. Very very satisfying

[@othrsdmusic]

This is a beautiful arrangement. I took some help from this arrangement to make an instrumental cover of Mirror (It just feels unfair to not let you know). Thank you so much for this, really enjoyed it.

Who know the tempo of original track ? I'm trying to remake this song

[@Pianobin]

BPM is ~112 I believe!

[@vergil9397]

Nice vid, great job bro. But beginner like me cant handle those note :( sad

[@Pianobin]

Feel free to make a simplified version of it!

[@noahstelter9490]

there are notes missing on the midi from your patreon?

[@Pianobin]

Hi Noah, the MIDI file is multichannel (with the right hand on the first channel and the left hand on the second channel) and it's likely that you are only viewing one channel if some notes are missing. Most DAWs should give you an option to split the channels into separate tracks, and I think FL Studio is one that I've heard where you have to specify that during the import dialog. Please message me directly on Patreon if you have additional questions!
