The Smile - Pana-vision [Piano Cover]

The first of probably at least a few covers of The Smile. This track is in 7/8. It is tempting to hear the downbeat on 7 (instead of on 1) by mistake, but once you dial it in it feels right.
This video is also my first with a new piano VST.

Just want you to know you've got listeners for whom these aren't novelties... I have some on my repeat, really as my canon version

[@aajfranklin]

That's very special for me to hear - thank you.

[@alexevensen3549]

This is fantastic please more The Smile songs

[@aajfranklin]

I will probably do more once the album is out 👍

[@wutangalex]

This is wonderful. I have been listening to this on repeat all day. Thank you for this.

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks so much =]

[@greenvelvet]

They're doing the riff AND vocal Melody on one hand. WTF!!??????? HOW??!

[@aajfranklin]

Practice 😅

Panavision My eyes are open wide And now I see you Without your robes on Without your crown I don't want to hate you I don't want to bear A kind of fascination That gets in my way A door that opens wide My, how you've altered Oh, Heaven, help me Is that the time? Beginning without end Never lost, never dies Unending, a beam of light A tunnel in my mind As it all pans wide With a filter on the lens She sees everything I do She sees everything I do And without my shoes on Over broken glass I am dancing for pennies I am staring straight ahead A view that is so wide It's gonna break It's like it holds me in its gaze If I go, it's because It's happened once before And now it's starting all again As it all pans wide Forget everything you knew Forget everything you knew As it all pans wide, ah Like a newborn child Like a newborn child Like a newborn child A child A child A child Like a child A child

Yorke would approve. Pardon me while I download this and put it in my playlist. You are great.

[@josep_romero]

i would have never guessed to count it in 7/8, this whole time I was playing it in a 6/8 feel but 7/8 with the downbeat on 1 makes so much more sense after you really listen to it closely. thank you for this, great cover!

[@aajfranklin]

You're welcome! Hope the time signature revelation has helped you!

[@Zarkai_09]

De nada amigo

[@TuzluTilki]

You have to make piano sheets pls

[@aajfranklin]

Making sheet music is very time intensive. I do the best I can to share my arrangements in this format, which is just a hobby for me. I hope it helps people who want to learn but I do not have the time or interest to start writing sheet music, especially since I don't myself use sheet music.

[@vincedoc]

Superbly done. Thanks for helping a truly terrible player.

[@aajfranklin]

You're welcome and I'm sure you're better than you tell yourself.
