Avril 14th comforts our souls, I thank all those who cover it.

Thanks Elliott! 😊

I have a harp and worked it out but i haven’t worked out the whole song 💎❤️

Conforting is not the word I would use yo describe Arvil 14th personally

that feel when your bard lays down the jam and the whole party gets +5 charisma

You made this sound like it was written for the harp, it's absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing.

[@tamarayoung39]

Thanks so much Nathan

[@mosley3485]

To be fair, it's essentially a piano piece and a piano is just a harp with hammers.

[@nathan5260]

@@mosley3485 I mean if you're going to reduce two instruments right down and ignore any difference in acoustics and timbre... Sure?

Purchasing a harp isn't as, well, let's just say, easy as it most instruments.

[@SPEXWISE]

I'm still here....listening to this. Out of all the covers out there, this one pleases me the most.

[@rhodesyt2106]

I like how diverse his discography is, from ambient music to piano pieces and some really loud drum and bass electronic genre that I dont know the name of, I will forever cherish his music, Great cover btw.

[@tamarayoung39]

Totally Agree with you !

[@Deadsea_1993]

This was absolutely beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, Aphex Twin is the greatest artist from the last 30 years. His first album, Selected Ambient Works:Volume 1, is commonly cited as the greatest and most important album for electronic music and that it was the electronic equivalent to Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon.

[@tamarayoung39]

CHILLS ALL OVER MY ARMS

[@sonsofoak]

I’ve been down an Avril 14th rabbit hole on UA-cam, seeing so many beautiful covers with all different kinds of instruments.. This one is the pinnacle🤟 Thankyou for that experience.

[@petexii]

I too have been on the quest and this is without a doubt the best.

[@imperfectclark]

I am browsing covers of this tune and... this takes the trophy. Hits every note/chord but with perfect touch... I'm awed

[@maudiojunky]

I shed a tear and looked up to see you holding back the same. What a beautiful performance!

[@proto_martyrrr]

Coming back to this gem on April 14th.

[@rephlax]

That feel when you fall in love with someone on the first sight and the first tune they send is this.

[@tamarayoung39]

Thank you !

[@thalesvondasos]

That feel when you fall in love with someone but the feelings aren't mutual and you know you'll get over them eventually but it hurts nevertheless

[@desireecoad7557]

You did that beautifully. Thank you so much

[@kjones311]

The resonance and clarity of your touch comes thru so much more when one DLs the piece. So worth it. Masterful

The sensibility in each note, how you play passionately
Your face meanwhile playing was like you realy felt the music, i swear, at some point this is like you showing us your soul...
I swear, this is one of the most beautiful things i ever saw in my life... thank you so much... musicians talented just like you realy makes me feel like i live in a world of true beauty... i love this videos
