Your arrangements have kept me company for years at home, on drives and plane rides. They have made me feel not so alone when I am alone, thank you Alex.
Chad this is the sweetest message I've received in this channel. Thank you for listening and for sharing this. I'm always humbled if my piano arrangements mean anything to anyone, so I really appreciate this.
It barks at no one else But me Like it's seen A ghost I guess it's seen the sparks A-flowin' No one else Would know Hey man, slow down Slow down Idiot, slow down Slow down Sometimes I get overcharged That's when you See sparks They ask me where the hell I'm going? At a thousand feet per second Hey man, slow down Slow down Idiot, slow down Slow down Hey man, slow down Slow down Idiot, slow down Slow down
@@aajfranklin I am he! I heard of your fame via Jeremy and Rachel. I’ve been revisiting the piano myself and watching many similar, but inferior, videos to yours.
I mean if you're up to doing OK Computer covers though...I wouldn't mind hearing your take on Lucky. Only if you're up to it. Beautiful cover as always.
I feel like I like this song more and more, the more I hear it. I also just feel like I said like and more too many times. I also like seeing the synthesia when I watch your videos because the way you play a lot of your chords, I feel like is similar to how I would voice things. As you've pointed out before, my covers have a looser, more improvised style and I drift farther away from the source material. But still, I can see when I watch your videos that I just feel like our playing is in similar places? Even though we have different ways of approaching the songs? If that makes sense. I hate to phrase it this way but it's like a "levels" thing. Your videos come across ot me as the sort of intermediate level that I concieve of my playing as. So, when I see these covers there's like a nice arrangement that's not too insanely complex and over the top with advanced stuff that can be unnecessary - but it's also not super basic or easy. And somehow I feel like that's about the level I'm at with my playing. I hate to describe it in terms of easy, intermediate and advanced --- but yeah. I've seen other people do videos like this that are just bare bones, basic, super easy arrangements. And then I've seen other super popular channels with millions of subscribers do this same thing but it will be the most advanced, ridiculous, kind of show offy arrangements. So what I'm saying is your channel strikes a nice middle ground. I hope that doesn't come off as an insult to your playing when I describe it that way lol. Anyways, gonna end this comment which turned out way longer than expected. Nice playing!
I get what you're saying. I also sometimes see very popular arrangements with a lot of additional frills that can feel over the top at times. But then I'm not sure if I *actually* think they're over the top or if that's just me rationalising it because I'm not technically solid enough to add the frills - maybe I'd add them if I could, who knows? I appreciate that you think this is a good middle ground, that is sort of what I'm going for =] but if I could play like Josh Cohen, for example, I'd just play like Josh Cohen instead, if you know what I mean.
Ps - I’ve been playing about with let down, on piano, off this album for a while, mostly because I enjoy the vocals though. I bet you could nail that one too.

i love the little nuances, like the second voice in your left hand in the chorus. i'm really impressed, keep up your work!!!
Thanks, I was quite pleased with that addition so I'm glad you noticed it!

Thanks, I will!
It barks at no one else
But me
Like it's seen
A ghost
I guess it's seen the sparks
A-flowin'
No one else
Would know
Hey man, slow down
Slow down
Idiot, slow down
Slow down
Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you
See sparks
They ask me where the hell
I'm going?
At a thousand feet per second
Hey man, slow down
Slow down
Idiot, slow down
Slow down
Hey man, slow down
Slow down
Idiot, slow down
Slow down
What an excellent rendition Alex. A great tune that I’ve not heard for years. Loving your rhythm and melodies. 😊
Thanks very much! Are you the Wojtek Behnke I know personally or is this a crazy coincidence?
@@aajfranklin I am he! I heard of your fame via Jeremy and Rachel. I’ve been revisiting the piano myself and watching many similar, but inferior, videos to yours.

Great cover, have you thought of doing another strokes song any time soon?
Every now and then I play around with Some and Barely Legal, I'm sure I'll finish them some day 😉
how do u achieve that sound, like if i had my ears covered. Very smooth.
The piano sound you're hearing is Native Instruments Noire =]
@@aajfranklin thanks, its very soothing
Amazinggggg!!!!.... It would be great if you could do the cover of "Radiohead - Man of War"
I did, five years ago! th-cam.com/video/jTfhYBCrKyc/w-d-xo.html
@@aajfranklin Oh MY GOD!!! 😲
@@aajfranklin "Radiohead - The Numbers"
Do you take any suggestions? Because I want to hear you play Blow Out if it's possible
I don't know Pablo Honey at all really, but maybe in the distant future I'll do some songs from it. It's my Radiohead blindspot.
@@aajfranklin I see. Same with me. I only really listen to blow out from that album lol
