I’ve been doing some thinking recently about this channel and a thought popped into my mind overnight. It’s been a really interesting journey sharing my love of the piano with everyone all over the world. It still trips me out that I spend an afternoon recording a track (it has to be the afternoon for those curious about the process, as the piano is lit by natural light - it’s best between 1pm - 4pm in the room that I’m recording in), sitting by myself in front of a piano in my music school, and that people from all over the world get to experience a very private moment of my creative process. What I find particularly interesting though is when I listen back to these interpretations, there’s a pretty strong disconnect between playing/recording the tracks and hearing them back. Without a drop of ego, I personally enjoy listening to these tracks either late at night to help me fall asleep, occasionally in the morning when I wake up to find some more motivation about working on my Radiohead songbook, but my favourite time would definitely be when I’m travelling, especially in airports or on planes, and also on public transport. As there are a lot of returning subscribers and listeners on this channel, my question to you is this: Where and when do you listen to these tracks? What are you doing? Working? Studying? Travelling? Eating breakfast? Passing out? What time of day is it? What do you see? How does it make you feel? I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts, so hit me up. As always, thanks for supporting the channel and for incorporating this music into your lives. Man, the internet blows my mind sometimes x
For me, usually when working on something or studying- it helps to hear songs that I love without the distracting lyrics. Thanks Josh :) (Currently living in Canberra, originally Wagga Wagga)
When I'm reading, contemplating, doing repetitive tasks or engaging in my creative pursuits. These interpretations of this beautiful music, for me, create an invigorating and calming atmosphere.
I spend a lot of time sitting outside with my headphones on listening to music obsessively on RU-vid. I try to get as much out of my system during the day when I'm home alone just relaxing. I work in a busy emergency room seeing some pretty terribly sad things and your music in combination with the sunshine soothes my soul. 😌
This song / album is incredible. I couldn't even tell you the number of times I've listened to this track. Every time I spin the record, I feel so calm. Sea Change too.
Josh Cohen I just stumbled upon your channel and I'm like "this is a lot like my current taste in music!", then I see this cover and this comment, even more amazing!
Due to popular demand, I've decided to create a Subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/joshcohenmusic to prioritise upcoming videos. If you'd like to submit your requests, it'll definitely point me in the right direction for future clips. Thanks, Josh :-)
Awesome! Send me a recording - I'd love to hear it. Been trying to tackle this one on the guitar too. I love hearing that high E (and maybe B?) ringing throughout. hello [at] joshcohenmusic.com
You're one of my favourite YT channels. You should be obliged to post more everyday! ahahah Have a nice Xmas :) Thank you for your creativity and time.
Woke up this morning, found a love light in the storm Looked up this morning, saw the roses full of thorns Guns are falling, they don't have nowhere to go Oceans of diamonds always shine, smooth out below Can we start it all over again this morning? I lost all my defenses this morning Won't you show me the way it used to be? I've gone all around 'til there's nothing left to say Wrote it all down into something that couldn't be said I tore it all down and buried me underneath the wave Can we start it all over again this morning? I let down my defenses this morning It was just you and me this morning I fought all my guesses this morning Won't you show me the way it could've been?
I'm so thrilled for your songbook, Josh! And also for the fact that your musical taste is kinda similar to mine. Didn't expected to see this song covered on your channel, but I'm so glad I found it, this track always touches me emotionally, is so simple, yet so beautiful. I'm considering buying your songbook, even tho Reais (brazilian currency) is making it harder, and I still don't know how to read songbooks properly, haha. Congratulations again! Your work amazes people all around the world!
The song was written perfectly beautiful by Beck. I love your cover! It's wonderful like music to my ears. Would you, by any chance, like to share the piano sheet of this particular song with me? Thanks!
Hi Stephanie, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I don't have or know where to obtain the sheet music for this one as I worked it out by ear. I'm also not able to distribute any transcriptions as I am working with a publisher to release my arrangements officially. Sorry I can't be of any more help. Thanks for watching!
Josh Cohen School of Music It is. I only found it recently and I chose it as part of my wedding playlist. I got married on the 8th of Oct. Had I known of your cover I might have put this in their... Anyway I look forward to more videos.
