The Smile - Teleharmonic [Piano Cover]

[@danielthehuman107]

Oh my god this is the most satisfying and faithful piano cover of any song I've ever heard. If Teleharmonic disappeared and I could never hear it again but had this video, I would still be happy.

[@aajfranklin]

That's extremely generous praise Daniel, thank you for your comment.

[@goshaberlinsky]

wow, that's my favorite song from the album. so nice to hear it. thank you!

[@aajfranklin]

I'm glad you like it!

[@DavideDF]

I freaking love this cover

[@aajfranklin]

I'm glad!

[@smirkingshark]

ohhh i love this rendition of teleharmonic! i'm so glad i found your account, it really motivates me to learn the piano more seriously! thank you!

[@aajfranklin]

You're very welcome and thanks for sharing this comment, which also motivates me in return!

[@furryfurry8477]

This is one of those songs that sounds relatively different in the piano version simply because it doesn’t translate the best, but those are my favorite songs to hear translated to piano. Your interpretation of this song is amazing, it still gives me the same chills the original did. Major kudos 🫡

[@aajfranklin]

Yeah it's not an obvious one for the piano but I like how it turned out, thank you!

[@rubayatraiyan9477]

such a great song, sounds so good on your piano

[@aajfranklin]

Thank you!

[@jztarkington]

Excellent as always! Looking forward to what else you will cover on Wall of Eyes.

[@aajfranklin]

Thank you! I'm working on Read the Room, but it might be a while because getting the melody and guitar part together is tricky!

[@thefishtruck]

Love this so much.

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks as always 🙇‍♂️

[@georgeUpo]

​@@aajfranklin Hey hey just wanted to let you know that youre amazing, youre like curing my passion for music (through radiohead). I started playing piano again in january and now i can finally finish some of the songs that you replay :D so thanks :) also i have a question as a beginner ... i have been playing Subterean homesick alien, i am full pro on the right hand, but cannot get the hang of the left one. is there any recommendation from you how to make it work? I mean i can train for months, just wanted to play it fully for my friends at the end of the month. Tbh its not the easiest with any song haha

[@aajfranklin]

@@buterann That's so great to hear, good for you for starting again! Is there a specific part of the strong where you are struggling with the left hand?

[@buterann]

​@@aajfranklin All together, i just cannot handle playing the right hand and the left hand at the same time. It seems to me like i cannot train it, but i guess i have to just give it a time. Just wondered as a trained pianist if you have any ideas how to train it better. :D thank you I Also love man of war, have you thought about making a new video? :D Apreciate your work. ann

[@jeeither]

Obviously, the original song is very layered and that's hard to convey that through a single keyboard. But you still captured the essence of the song. Nothing feels like it's missing, and it's so beautifully played. Also, I don't know why, as the original doesn't make me emotional, but this made me teary. I had a lump in my throat from 1:50 'til the end.

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks for this generous feedback Jess. I'm always touched by your kind thoughts 😭

[@singularit_y]

Hell Yes

[@aajfranklin]

🤘

[@extaliams9195]

omggg yessss

[@aajfranklin]

😁

[@AliBros]

Lovely! I was going to try to learn this by ear. This will make it so much easier! ❤

[@aajfranklin]

That's wonderful, I hope it helps!

[@AliBros]

@@aajfranklin your friend of a friend video helped with my cover that I posted last week! Was struggling with the voicing of the middle part!

[@aajfranklin]

Oh no way! I actually watched your video today before even seeing your comment! It's a really lovely rendition. I will have to subscribe now I know you're a listener here too 😄

[@AliBros]

@@aajfranklin haha no way that’s amazing! Thanks 🙏🙂

[@mindfulrochester2368]

MORE!!!!

[@aajfranklin]

📈

[@mindfulrochester2368]

But seriously, listening to these renditions brings out so much more flavor in the song that I really really appreciate what you do for my experience of this weird reality

[@ClaudeFranklin-gg5tq]

Very very nice! 👍 👍M

[@Zarkai_09]

Immediately screamed “YES!!” when I saw the video pop on my page haha If you see this Alex, what’s your opinion on the album?

[@aajfranklin]

😂 glad to know I can cause this positive reaction. I'm enjoying the album. I think the first record had higher highs but was quite inconsistent. Wall of Eyes functions better as a cohesive single work, imo.

[@Zarkai_09]

@@aajfranklin Ohh, interesting

[@Focando.....4]

Can you do (go slowly)❤

[@aajfranklin]

I already have 😊 you can find it on my channel page
