I am going through a hard time, you have no idea how much this song has helped

[@nicholascrow8133]

A decade later (whilst playing this on guitar the whole time, ask my annoyed friends), this song still moves and helps me so much, I feel you man!

[@CassandraDarling]

I think this is one of the most beautiful solo piano covers of any song ever

[@Koreanflow]

It's great the way it is...it doesn't need anything. Has it's own merits just with a pure sound-no noise or anything.

[@raicho20]

One of the more interesting harmonies in modern songs I have found! His lyrics are profound, as always, and the musical level is really high!

[@unclesam997]

I love the minor maj7/13 idea

[@raicho20]

Me too! Gives me goosebumps every time. Remember watching an interview with John Mayer where he said he'd rather affect people with his music and bring emotion than have some idiot walk up to him and ask "Was that a mixolydian", but I personally think it's possible to stimulate on both levels, both the emotional raw one, and the nerdy music theory person!

[@unclesam997]

raicho20 Definitely. For me the only reason I learned any theory was to understand how to play the sounds that affected me and how people made them.

[@orionesq]

Still beautiful after all these years…

[@pedgeman]

thats the way a piano is supposed to be played. Brilliant!

[@BigWormJ]

Over 10 years since it was published and I still come back to it. Just love it man!

[@NatePunzalan]

Same here

[@ashleybarbour5895]

What a hidden gem. Excellent.

[@BuckyJoe00]

I remember watching this for the first time shortly after this video was uploaded. Even now after 13 years, I still come back from time to time and get lost in the beauty of it all. Absolutely incredible!

[@ousulivan]

Thank you. I've been miserable these days, and listening to this play has helped me so much to move on.

[@Shadowofzero]

Man, I remember finding this video YEARS ago! Just thought I'd come back for another listen.

[@Silverbugle2005]

I came here six years ago and the number of likes hasen't changed its number of zeros.... out of the many piano arrangements there are for this song, it's a shame that this one - which is one of the best - is so underrated :(
