Eternal Sunshine - Peer Pressure / Elephant Parade (Piano)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This cover goes off the "Peer Pressure" theme from Jon Brion's score to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's pretty simple, but still beautiful.
*** I've received a number of requests for tutorials or sheet music. I'm not currently living at home, so I don't have access to a piano where I could make a tutorial. Also, there isn't any sheet music that I have found (I just messed around until I had it figured out). Sorry!!
Had a few minutes-- here's the basic skeleton of it. I'm new to Pro Tools score editor, so it's rough, but you should get the idea!

dang. thanks for taking the time man.
Ten years later
Perfect, thanks!
thank you!
absolute legend, thanks!
Jon brion perfectly catched the essence of feeling what love is
And you’ve aptly described it. 🖤
"You said "So go" with such disdain y'know?"
Haunting dialog... And unforgettable delivery
"Awe, I'm sorry, Joel."
That whole sequence is deep, and very moving.
@@Godisglorious1 "it's okay."
@@soumick7104 Absolutely, I think about it to this day
This is the best cover of this song available. No other song can instantly bring me on the verge of tears like this piece. It gets me every single time.
u listen to any ff10 ost songs?
Good god I know what you mean. I really do.
I know this video is over a decade old but I just want you know that here I am in California crying listening to it on a rainy day. Absolutely beautiful. It’s what to me is the feeling of love in a nutshell. Thank you for this whoever you are!
I'm inside on a rainy california day also! glad you still like it :)
Used this song in my wedding. Wish our marriage had ended up different. Still very good tuneage. Methinks it a strange cross between nostalgia over things lost and hope for the future.
So for the late reply but sorry it didn't work out, man. There's still hope in the future.
I commented on this video 4 years ago and I still thank you to this day. Still in my top 5 UA-cam videos.
Marcela Roy same, I've found myself in the exact same spot years later. So glad this is here. Such a profound movie with incredible music. This cover being magnificent.
I instinctively commented on this just now... Just to see I commented here a year ago, lol. Wow....
Derrick Young, I’m back on here too. Insanely wonderful song!!!
I’m back.. 2 years later. I will forever love this cover. Whenever I am looking for peace, I play this. 9 years now. Thank you.
@@Marcela-ke3twTime to come back to this masterpiece
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot
The world forgetting by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Each prayer accepted
And each wish resigned
I was amazed this video is about 13 years ago…still beautiful and touching..thx for playing
Sometimes i come here to hear this music again... it gives me the same emotion everytime
"Bye Joel"
This is what being in love sounded like
+Naseem Syed Those 8 words just told me a story.
Brilliant comment. True.
it sounds like happiness by jonsi and alex
It's more like the nostalgia of some lost love...
I've been using UA-cam since it came out and this is still one of my favorite things here. Please never take it down. You captured the piece(s) and their feelings so well. Jon Brion should be proud.
Thank you for this. Have been listening to your cover for at least 4 years. Its my go-to for when I need to cry and feel love...
Been listening for about a decade. Thanks for being one my favorite youtube videos.
this is probably my favourite movie soundtrack ever. the music is so beautiful. this is was really well done!
PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL, THE WORLD IS DYING WITHOUT IT
accurate
I've come back to this beautiful piano rendition time & again throughout the years, and look forward to continuing to do so. Thank you for sharing such touching music✨💙
i can’t believe i’m nineteen and this cover came out when i was five, i’m learning it today. i always thought this song captured love so well. the dizziness and warmth of it all. will always be one of my faves:)
My god...... just tears, tears streaming down my face your ability is so beautiful
This music still brings tears to my eyes. Every time I hear it.
It’s been 5 years and I think you’re finally letting go of me. I’ll never forget all the memories we shared together. I’m going to miss you so much I love you
Powerful.. I honestly have no other words
Joely, what if you stayed this time?
I can't
☹️
I walked out the door, there's no memory left.
@@GordonGarvey Come back and make up a goodbye at least, let's pretend we had one.....
Meet me in montauk
The best mix of the 2, thank you, exactly what I’ve been searching for. Top notch, please make an exact recording in studio. So great
This just gives me the goosebumps. You've translated this song so well, thank you for sharing this great piece!
It's 2021, and I still return to this. Thank you again.
Alex - this is awesome. This video alone is one of the main reasons I decided to buy a keyboard and try and learn from scratch. Started with Peer Pressure - it's a beaut. Hope to be able to read music one day and learn your interpretation too. Cheers
This just brought me to tears, for the 3rd time. Who could possible not like this?!
Why this old piano videos in UA-cam are probably better than any performance I have ever listened to?
One of the few songs that (almost) always makes me cry! Thanks for sharing your version.
Thanks! That's really cool, glad you liked it. I posted this years ago, it's amazing to come back and see what a positive response people have had to it. Maybe time to get back into videos...?
How bout 8 years later
I second that
I started playing piano because of this video, y'know?
Hope all is well Alexander, stay great🌟
There are 3 Jon Brion songs I love from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This was definitely one of those and was really a joy to watch.
Bookstore peer pressure and....row?
Kevin pusateri Actually, phone call instead of bookstore but you've got the other two right. :)
Kevin pusateri Bookstore is pretty darn good too.
O ya phonecall is a good one. It was a rap beat before being used in the movie. I prefer the movie version but nevertheless props to Jay electronica for creating it.
Actually it seems Jay electronica took it from the movie. At the end of his first verse he says "I took the beat from Sunshine boy and killed it." Plus he came out with the song about 5 years later.
Just wanted to say that you did an amazing job bringing these two songs together. I turned the audio from this into an MP3 a few months ago when I first heard it and it is the most played song on my iTunes library (with a good 800 plays or so). Thanks so much for this song!
Michael Guzman do you have a link to that mp3
This melody never fails to make me tear up. The whole soundtrack is absolutely brilliant.
Been listening to this cover for years just want to say awesome job and thank you for this piece of music as it has touched so many of us!!
I love this film, and this song. Great cover.. I wish I knew how to play the piano just to play this
talent is a myth, believe in the power of practice :)
Sam Allen 💖💖💖💖💖
I'm so happy you uploaded this. I get sad when the original ends so soon. You sound incredible.
11 years later… still listening to it. A forever favorite of mine.
An absolutely beautiful arrangement. I love those two pieces so much. This is exactly how Jon Brion should have done it in the first place. Thanks for posting it. :-)
Best cover on UA-cam. Really captured the feeling of the music. This inspired me to make my own cover of the song!
You compiled the two of these songs so well, it's amazing. i often listened to peer pressure and elephant parade back to back, I admit. Too beautiful.
Just to let you know man that I made this into an mp3 and I have it on my iPod and I listen to it whenever I'm driving, relaxing at home etc. Great job! Love the movie and soundtrack! It touches me deep.
Please one day, make a tutorial/sheet music for this. Been coming back to this song for a long time.
Joe Pashley If anyone wanted I found the basic chords for this song:
E, A, F#m
G#m, Dbm, G#m, A, B
Joe Pashley Thank you very much dude!
Joe Pashley Thank you!
+Joe Pashley I come back to listen to it a lot too.
+Joe Pashley So I finally have a digital piano hooked up to a PC. Only took seven years!
Any suggestions from anyone on how I can make this happen for people?
Really good. I just watched this movie and this song grabbed me immediately.
still listening and enjoying in 2020 :)
This evokes so many memories. I'm so thankful for this video. Great performance. I hope you still play.
I want to be a great big, huge elephant!
Jon Brion is such a boss, and so is AlexanderJSmolowe
Здравствуйте. Великолепно! Очень классно! Обожаю эту мелодию! Спасибо вам!
Hello. Sumptuous! Very cool! I love this melody! Thanks you!
Thank you. These are my favorites from the film. You play them very beautifully.
Never fails to make me feel emotions
Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for posting this.
Much better than the 26 seconds that we get on the Jon Brion track. :)
touches my heart. Thank you for sharing Alexander. Appreciation from Austin, TX
peer pressure and elephant parade are my favorites. this is amazing.
surge of goosebumps all over my body my god
Absolutely beautiful. Watch this gorgeous film last weekend. Was stunned by how complex and profound it was. Excellent cover mate.
My two favorite songs from my absolute favorite movie.
Great job...I needed this tonight.
makes me cry that song its so beautiful that i cant take it, thank you thank you for playing the song
I almost cry while watching your video. This music is stunning. Thank you
+Charles Borcke I do cry
Brings me back to a lonely skeleton trying to find a friend, but his friend always ties because the trip is 500 days long. So the skeleton goes back, heartbroken, trying to fine a friend that'll finally survive. Maybe the skeleton would play this at their wedding. :')
Beautiful playing! And an excellent selection. I really liked this film, and the music has a simple yet lingering quality to it...dreamlike, just like the subject of the film.
Listening on a loop... it’s so good. Best cover of this.
Wow. Good job. I'll have to learn these by ear as well. No matter how long it takes me, I MUST learn them.
Just like the imaginative touching masterpiece that is eternal sunshine of the spotless mind did touch my soul also.
素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。
夜中に一人聴いて泣きました。
Unreal man! I loved it,I listened to it over and over.
this piece is so beautiful, and so is your playing💙
This song reminds me of so many things and still Can't stop crying at this.
Still one of the most awesome piano vids that I know.
this song just fits so perfectly with eternal sunshine. and you definitely played it beautifully :) great job. makes me tear up, this was def jim carrey's best "love" films aside from his comedy, even though the movie was a pretty funny too but more serious.
You are playing with heart. That's wonderful.the song really means something to you.
Everytime I listen to this song, I cry.
Elle Marie same here

Going through a divorce. I remembered this movie. I love the soundtrack. Nothing as bittersweet.
I love love love love this song.
THE BEST movie ever made.
Yes! Please get back into posting your music. The world needs more beautiful and soulful music like yours :-)
Are you a judge?
Because you just did justice with the piece
I see what you did there lol
Man. Right in the feels.
amazingly beautiful.... just another reason to love this movie...
Bravo! Loved it man,thank you very much man.That was awesome.
you have amazing piano skills
Thanks for your cover ! This melody is really deep !
This means so much to me!
This is 12 years ago.
WOW
Beautiful
This is my favorite piece by Jon Brion. I wish this melody was revisited in other parts of the movie, but it was just one short part...maybe it was a smart move to not overuse it.
the elephant parade was played when Kirsten Dunst was reciting the Alexander Pope quote that led to the elephant parade in Joel's memory.
this is stunningly beautiful!
@jazincky
I agree. THE PUBLIC NEEDS THIS SHEET MUSIC.
This is lovely, thanks for uploading!
