The Antlers - Wake [Piano Cover]

[@sabgha]

With the door closed, shades drawn, the world shrinks Let's open up those blinds But someone has to sweep the floor Pick up her dirty clothes That job's not mine Now that everyone's an enemy, my heart sinks Let's put away those claws I don't blame them for their curtains-calls Because I pulled the rope I want to call them back out for applause Spring and Thompson on the first of May is horrible We hid in catacombs So now I'm sleeping next to mousetraps In a bed of all our clothes While I hope that she won't come home It was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones Than to show my skin Because the hardest thing Is never to repent for someone else It's letting people in Well you can come inside Unlock the door, take off your shoes But this might take all night To explain to you I would have walked out those sliding doors But the timing never seemed right When your helicopter came and tried to lift me out I put its rope around my neck And after that you didn't bother with the airlift or the rescue You knew just what to expect That with the door closed, shades drawn We're dead enough They don't open from outside And someone has to speak with their teeth behind their tongue To never let that right be denied We can't rely on photographs and visitation time But I just don't know where to begin I want to bust down the door If you're willing to forgive I've go the keys, I'm letting people in Don't be scared to speak Don't speak with someone's tooth Don't bargain when you're weak Don't take that sharp abuse Some patients can't be saved But that burden's not on you Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that

beautiful arrangement! this is my favourite song by The Antlers so thank you for this :)

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks, it's my favourite of theirs too. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@Noelia768]

This is beautiful. Thanks a lot.♥

[@aajfranklin]

Thank you for listening and sharing that response.

So beautiful!! I love any and all piano covers of Hospice. My personal favourite is Apathy, man that song gets to me, but Wake is just as haunting and you absolutely did it justice. Hope you're still playing today. Well wishes from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks for the kind words, Madenique! I'm absolutely still playing today, though I haven't listened to or played this arrangement in a long time. This comment was a nice excuse to revisit it - thank you.

[@PabloEscobar-jz1js]

This cover is a gem! I know this video is old and I know from the comments that there's no sheets for this, so this might be futile to ask, but is there a possibility that you can release a synthesia version like your more recent videos?

[@catvans]

[@aajfranklin]

[@larsniklasson6637]

This video got me into the Antlers! Hospice is so good!

[@aajfranklin]

Oh wow, that's great to hear! Hospice is a wonderful album.

[@matttrevaskis1172]

Would you have the sheet music for this at all? I'm planning to learn the piano in the not too distant future and I would love to be able to play this arrangement one day

[@aajfranklin]

I don't have sheet music as I did this by ear, my apologies. Good luck with starting the piano!

[@hahman12]

This is awesome. One of my favourite songs to sing. Would you mind if I used this for a vocal cover? I understand if not. Probably won't even end up doing it hahaha but it would be nice to have some awesome piano to sing with

[@gentoo6081]

Do you happen to have the sheet music by any chance?

[@aajfranklin]

+James Livingston I'm afraid I arranged this by ear, sorry.

[@natt3158]

I absolutely love this album thank you so much for making this. Its beautiful (and been on repeat all day) Just one thing, do you have the chords or sheet music for this? I'd love to learn it. If not that's okay :) Thank you again for uploading.

[@aajfranklin]

I don't have sheet music I'm afraid. Thank you for your lovely comments on this and my Flume video too though.

[@natt3158]

ah thats okay, i love your music

[@kolbielee5429]

so wonderful! did you use sheet music or did you do this by ear? either way it is incredibly beautiful

[@kolbielee5429]

ah, i just noticed "My arrangement." ^.^ splendid

[@aajfranklin]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It arranges itself to an extent, but I'm still very proud of this rendition.
