Stellar my friend. My favorite part was when you were sitting in my studio on my throne chair at the end. But you know I'm biased. Phenomenal job. Next time have Jimmy Color would really bring out the lighting on this :)
gorgeous!!!! it was beautiful! and could you do a cover of 'Light and Softness' by Brian Crain? It would be sooo awesome!
Calen Smith I'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation :)
Very good. Never thought of expanding your promotion side? Say a web show called "Peters friends" with a new artist every week. Some kind of music video introduction of the artist, a interview section, a behind the scenes and a colab music part(You and the artist). A show like that could be on prime-time TV
Love this!! Such a beautiful piece!!
Absolutely beautiful.
My recommendation is an entire Disney Collection ala, Jim Brickman collection except WAY WAY better and Nathan style :)
+Peter Hollens wowie...um...hi
This is absolutely gorgeous, Nathan!
I'm basically listening all your covers while attempting to finish my final essay for a class, and it is amazing.
Good luck!
I love how you add your own flavor to all of these songs to make them subtly different and fun to listen to
You make the piano sing. Lovely.
+Donya Dunlap Thanks, Donya!
This is just so beautiful. Can't wait to hear more.
Yay! So glad to see you're uploading solos again. Love your collabs as well, but it's really great to hear your solo work. Well done, and blessings to ya! :)
there are those that play to show off, some play because it makes them happy, then there are the rare few that play with their entire soul. thank you for sharing yours with us. much love.
Caolionn MacDougall That is very sweet, thank you!
love your improves!so wonderful!merry christmas🎅
your covers are so inspirational. thanks!
this one also is an amazing piece of you! love it! you really has inspired me to play piano after a long time of break from it
No one can make that piano sing the way you can. Stunning job, Nathan :)
Isa Quinones Thanks!
Beautiful! Loved the trills!
STUNNING!
Uggh this is just too beautiful. I'll will be listening to this everyday from now on. Thank you soo much
I absolutely love this song in general and you just made me love it even more! You're truly amazing!
So glad you posted another video! It was amazing!! I can't imagine ever being able to play that well if I had the sheet music, let alone creating it!! Simply beautiful :)
My sister is absolutely in love with the changing colors in the lights she asked if it could change to a more wide verity range of colors 👌
very nice. That piano has a wonderful, rich, tone.
Totally blown away by your interpretation of these songs, they were interesting to listen to because you took a song that a lot of people know really well and made it new and more interesting. I really felt the emotional pull to the song rather than just singing the words, if you know what I mean. Really really awe-inspiring, seriously keep doing this because I want to listen to more!
I can hear Moonlight Sonata played poorly but when I hear it played expressively, it brings me to tears. I would LOVE to hear you play it. You make people buy pianos!
This is amazing..
This is so wonderful! I love how emotionally invested you seem in whatever you are playing. It adds so much to the already fantastic arrangements! Love this. :)
OMG!!! I really love this song and you have made me like it much more. Seriously, do not stop doing this. ❤️
Incredible! I wish you'd keep uploading! God bless!
I really like this song and you played it beautifully. Hope all going well for you in SF.
I love it!!!! :D I can't wait to hear more!!!!
It's a beautiful song, and your arrangement is wonderful !
Thanks, this is actually the first time I've enjoyed this song :)
Breathtaking! Love your work :)
Beautiful!!!
You are so talented!! I'm obsessed with this!
This was the perfect start to my day :) Absolutely perfect.
Hey Nathan ! Long time no see, this cover is outstandingly amazing as all your art. I do wish you the success you deserve :)
My best friend charles is no longer in my life but the last night we were together this song played and ever since then this song brings me to tears. Great job
Wow, thank you so much. It's comments like these that remind me how meaningful music can really be.
Simply beautiful talent and music, Nathan. Keep moving forward with your incredible music. You have a bright present and future.
Beautiful! You are amazingly talented!
Great job, Nathan. Perfect for listening to on a sunday-evening like now. Made a perfect end to a great weekend.
Wim Boens Glad to hear it!
I was on The Piano Guys and Peter&Evynne Hollens and you!
OMG everybody is talented!!!!!
This is really great Nathan, I love seeing the passion in your music, and I'm so happy you'll be bringing us more! Your talent is really stellar. :)
Laura Jolly Thanks Laura! I am so grateful to have supporters like you!
absolutely beautiful Nathan! :) Thanks for some wonderful music
Thanks for listening! :)
This is ace, completely in awe.
Thanks! Also, excellent use of one of my favorite slang terms.
So I recently discovered your channel and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. You are extremely talented and I have loved all the videos I've seen so far. Keep up the amazing work man! :D
+Valeria Torres Hey thanks! Glad to hear it!
I have always enjoyed music so much and I took piano lessons as a child, but I never could read music!!! I pick at the piano, lol playing by ear, but nothing like you are able to do!! So I appreciate your work more than you will ever know!
Wow, it is so beautifull!!!
I've heard many play the piano but none really get deep! You are great
I really love the way you play that song, so great
Buying it! Best cover yet.
I actually jump every time you upload a new video, solo or with Evynne. Very envious or your passion and talent, but happy that you share with us all! I can't wait to hear more. (:
Thank you! I am doing this full-time now, so I should be faster with the releases. Thanks for watching :)
Magic happens when pure soul meets quality, technique and originality. Loving the Thomas Newman overtones at the start of the piece :)
WOW, amazing! loved every part of this! love the piano playing! wish i could play that well one day!! look forward to hearing more of your music as ive only just found this channel :)
Yep. I need stay with you. He he
That's just amazing..please keep up with incredible work :)
This is amazing! Is it just me or was anyone else humming along? :)
Amazing! I absolutely love the b7 chord with the E thrown in there (ex. 0:30); such a beautiful chord! And the surprise entrance on beat 2 at 1:42... oh my word! This... oh... this is divine! Keep it up! :D
Brian Gruenewald Nerd :p
Dude, I'm a music major :P
And, if you don't mind, I'm challenging myself to write this all down by ear... so far I'm almost to the first chorus. I bet you can agree with me that writing this stuff down is much harder than actually playing it off the top of your head.
Brian Gruenewald Haha I figured, and of course I meant it in the best way! Glad to hear you're transcribing, too, there's really no better way to improve your ear and musical vocabulary. You should upload a video of yourself playing it when you're finished, and I'll share the crap out of it! I'd love to see how it turns out.As for the difference in difficulty between writing it and creating it, I think it just depends on what you're good at and how long it takes. I don't improvise the majority of these arrangements, I devise most of the transitions, intros and outtros, as well as the concepts behind each section before recording. Everything else is improvised, but I have an outline, or "skeleton" if you will, of the arrangement prepared. So I don't necessarily think it's harder to transcribe it, although it certainly takes longer. And transcribing accomplishes a different task than creating an arrangement yourself. Sorry for the semantic argument, but I do think the distinction is important.
***** That's understandable, and really quite awesome! As far as me playing it once it's done... haha, forget about it. I'm good, but nowhere near as good as you. What I could do is show it to you once it's done (somehow), and let you edit it. Then you could publish it. And you know what? Don't let me profit from it. I mean, this is your thing, your music. It's all you, bro - I insist :)
beautiful cover of this wonderful song ,everyone can see how you feel the song and how you are into it
love your music ,keep on
This is so incredible!! I hope to someday be able to play like you. Its people like you that keep me playing.
Is it possible to fall in love from a video because I swear it just made me swoon Haha...
Absolutely beautiful! I loved every single thing about it. I literally just found you just now but I think you're going to end up being my favorite youtuber. You really do have an amazing talent and your passion for it shines through every single second of this cover.
Madarina Thank you so much! I hope I can continue to live up to those high standards :)
I know I'm a little late but I'm so happy to see a new video from you! Can't wait to see more, these piano covers are the reason I followed and supported you in the first place! This quite brightened my day :)
vanilla martini Glad you found it, no matter when! Thanks for watching :)
Great playing, on a great piano, and you look great - you rock :) ! Can't wait for the next video !
Alex GG Thanks, Alex! Working on it now!
I cannot get over how absolutely amazing you are at playing the piano, not only your skill level but your ability to get lost in the music, it is beautiful. I have been playing the piano for 9 years and I can only hope I will ever be half as good as you are!♡
Kerry Doherty The most important thing is to love doing it, there is always more to learn, and setting arbitrary goals of progress take the fun out of it!
Amazing job Nathan! Your work is beautiful and you have true musical talent, it's obvious just listening to you play.
andrea cardoza Thanks for listening! :)
You and your music are so beautiful! I love you!
This is excellent! It's so nice to see another video by you Mr. Alef!
Thanks, Andrew! You're not my brother, are you? My brother's name is Andrew.

Nathan you are a superstar man. The way you play and with each touch of the Piano keys gives me goosebumps all over my body. I really pray that you go on and kindly share more. :)
M. Hassan Thank you so much! That is certainly the plan!
I've heard many renditions to this song and this one by far was the best and most beautiful :')
moosasaurus7 Glad you think so!
I absolutely love you and your videos - it's clear that you always try to do your best and the result is amazing :) You inspire people and give them hope. We all know that everyone who listens to your music is feeling something special then, and you're the only person who can give us that. Thank you for your music. You are special, don't you forget that! :)
Gabriela Dolińska Thank you, I really appreciate such a kind and thoughtful response!
The perfect start to my Saturday morning: thank you. This is simply sublime. ^_^
Glad to contribute! Thanks for listening :)
All I have to say is that to me.. The piano isn't what's impressing me, it's how you play it and how you get into it. It's like you go to whole new other world, maybe piano world where all the famous pianists are (lol) but you just get into it and you have such a great passion and I don't know. I hear the piano but all I see is you. (Not meaning to sound weird..) but it's true. You get into your music. You have a passion for it. You are just amazing.
aileen doan Thank you so much, Aileen! I'm glad that all comes across, I just have a whole lot of fun making music and sharing it with the world. It still makes me smile to think that my passion and my profession can be the same thing, it's a beautiful life :)
omfg that was so amazing
Devika Jobanputra Hey thanks!
once again an amazing job Nathan!
Tina Gallaher Thanks Tina!
***** no problem!
Amazing
You are bloody amazing...
hjward100 Thank you!
Epic as always Nathan!
buddysmasters Thanks!
***** NP! Hey, what is the chord at 0:30? It sounds really great there, maybe nothing wild, but in that musical context, I liked it.
Amazing!
Sherry Hsu Thank you, Sherry!
So beautiful! ♡ Such a great song especially when played so wonderfully :-)
+rosieposiearmitage Thank you!
Wow this is so amazing. I wish I knew how to play. Great job
Amanda Espinoza Never too late to start!
***** True! Did you get lessons or did you teach yourself? I feel like piano lessons would be pretty pricey.
amazing! I can learn so much just by watching your videos. I kind of wish you would record some videos with the entire thing filmed from above the keyboard, so I can study it and play it back in slow motion!
***** I will take that under advisement!
Sounds great Nathan. Always amazed at what you can do. :)
Jacob Ven Huizen Thanks, Jacob!
Love this song! I tried learning it on piano, but my skills aren't up to par. Beautiful job!
Hey there! Just wanted to say that the way you play this song is beautiful! I don't know how to describe my feelings, but when I listened to your cover it sounded kinda sad, but I also felt happy at the same time. But still, it's really, really beautiful. Keep up that good work! :) Ah and I love your collaborations with other YT singers! (saw Evynne's video and found you! :D♥)
Sasa-chan Excellent! I'm glad you like it, and it's amazing all that stuff comes through. I think that's exactly the point of the song, emotionally. It's melancholy and pleading, but also celebratory of the good parts of a complicated relationship. Anyway, thanks for listening!
