I've been watching these covers all out of order from the date they were published, and this song sounds so soft and nice yet very bold at the parts where the main melody is. I haven't heard a better cover of Airbag before, and this is probably the best one I'll ever hear. You are an amazing pianist, and all I can hope is to be somewhat as good as you are one day!
Man, your covers are so insanely good. It encapsulates the elements of the songs on a single instrument in a tremendous manner. Bravo! I love to practice piano myself, but very far below your level. These covers really inspire me to push / practice harder, and hopefully get me closer to playing these beautiful compositions.
Thank you Erik! The idea that I inspire anyone else to practice is very humbling, as I still think of myself very much as an intermediate/amateur. Key for me personally is to not think of practice as pushing or hard, but to find ways to make practice itself enjoyable. It's why I gravitate towards arranging new songs on the regular. Keeps things fresh and exciting, never feels like drilling the same old routines.
Im 12 years old and obsessed with Radiohead. These videos provide me a way to play some of their work on piano, or help me understand their work better. Thank you.
In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut I am born again In the neon sign scrolling up and down I am born again In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent I am born again In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe
Wow did you come up with this rendition? Amazing - you do a perfect balance of tracking all of the parts of the song without ‘overplaying’. No fat on the meat if you will
Omg just discovered this channel. I would like to request a cover if it is possible. I searched the internet for a piano cover of Lady Lynda by the Beach Boys but noone has ever done that. I wish you could. Thanks and keep going with this beautiful channel
@@aajfranklin well that's totally understandable man, Parachutes was an epic album. I personally love all of their first three albums, before they changed to more pop kind of music. Your song choices are awesome by the way. Cheers!
Ah the eternal question 😅 That would be a good chunk of extra labour that would compete for time with actually playing music and making these videos, which is ultimately why I don't do it. Someone did reach out to me recently about writing up sheets based on my arrangement so let's see, you might get lucky if that pans out!
I feel your playing has improved so much over the years that some of your older Radiohead piano covers don't compare to your playing here! Curious if you agree (I'm not a musician)?

I really like that you have both the falling notes and your hands playing them. It makes figuring out which fingers to use so much easier
I'm glad you find the combination helpful!
New appreciation for the original after hearing an interpretation. The best kind of 'Two for One' deal.
That's kind of you to say - thank you!

I love the subtlety of the harmony in this arrangement. Well done, Alex
Oh, I've seen your full cover of OK Computer before! Means a lot from an excellent pianist, thanks for watching and subscribing 🙇🏻♂
This is beautiful man.
@@CortexZero thank you 👍
Beautiful, beautiful cover.
Thanks for listening 😊
I’m only 1 minute in and it sounds heavenly!
Edit: Finished the video and it’s already one of my favourite covers, I’ll give it a try :)
When I see a Radiohead cover notification I immediately jump on it lol
I can tell you waste not time 😂
@@aajfranklin Yeah 😂
Sounds like you are enjoying a good desert. Thanks!
Some might argue that means I've killed the spirit of the song 😅

That's awesome, glad you find them helpful.
Gen A is still keeping Radiohead strong. That makes me so happy! 😄
Softer than an airbag.
I hear those things hurt in reality
@@aajfranklin
In a fast German car
I'm amazed that I survived.
An airbag saved my life.
@@aajfranklin if you cover your steering wheel in rhinestones you won't be concerned about the force of the airbag :P
Always happy to discover a new cover. 👏 M
ooh the opening is so good i love the left hand i sense another amazing cover
Your Spidey sense was tingling
YES! Thank you for making such a moving cover of one of my favorite Radiohead songs :D
You're very welcome!
Another amazing cover. I love it ! Thank you for sharing it :)
Thanks as always for listening Antoine =]
Truly amazing
Very kind, thank you!
This is awesome!
Thank you!
Stunning
Thank you!
In the next world war

Yes this is my own arrangement. Thanks so much for your generous words!

Very good.
Ta!
amazing job
Thanks!
Your covers are unreal man. A cover of Daylight by Coldplay could be pretty epic.
Thank you! Man I haven't heard that song in yeeeeaaaars. I'm more of a Parachutes guy I'm afraid.
@@aajfranklin well that's totally understandable man, Parachutes was an epic album. I personally love all of their first three albums, before they changed to more pop kind of music. Your song choices are awesome by the way. Cheers!
Thanks!
Thanks for your generosity Peter -- I really appreciate it!
@@aajfranklinyw sir! Serious question - How many coffees would it take to entice you to produce sheets? 😂
Ah the eternal question 😅 That would be a good chunk of extra labour that would compete for time with actually playing music and making these videos, which is ultimately why I don't do it. Someone did reach out to me recently about writing up sheets based on my arrangement so let's see, you might get lucky if that pans out!
Alex, have you considered covering some Mitski songs? I’d love to hear your renditions of some of them
I don't know Mitski, what should I listen to?
@@aajfranklin you could try some of her albums. Puberty 2, Bury Me At Makeout Creek or Be The Cowboy are good places to try her music.
I feel your playing has improved so much over the years that some of your older Radiohead piano covers don't compare to your playing here! Curious if you agree (I'm not a musician)?
Yes I agree!
Do you provide the sheet music for this amazing piece, as well as your previous covers? Keep up the great work!
Unfortunately because I play by ear I have no sheet music to share
Plzzzz 5.17 I love this and i really want ti play ittt plzz❤
And also analyze my favorite solo thom york song pzzz would really apriciate
Both of these are on my list to do eventually
