this is absolutely beautiful. i cant even describe how much this song means to me, it will forever be my favorite musical composition until the day i leave this world. sometimes you know things are supposed to be in your life for a reason, and i knew this song was meant for me when i first heard it because of how taken away i was, it gave me tears of joy and goosebumps. been a KsE fan since i was a boy at the age of 12. i have a tattoo that reads" tear down the veil" on my left inner bicep... those are the words i carry myself with each and every single day. this song truly changed my life and the way i view compassion towards others, especially those in need or who have a hard time being nice towards people different from them. there are days where depression takes over and i cant even be bothered to participate in life, but this song is a reminder that no matter how hard it gets, keeping an open heart and being the best you can be towards others will help make everything fall into place. we will all be okay someday. and wow, something about the piano just relieves me of stress. man it was impossible to not tear up hearing this. thank you so much for this cover. the world needs to know about this and reject yourself in general... and this channel. maybe a more toned down piano cover of this type of music would open the public eye more often instead of metal being shunned from those who dont listen to it. never stop sean. thank you with all my heart
Thank you for the heartfelt words my friend. It means a lot to know that my work resonates with you. Hopefully the positive message of Killswitch's music will change many more lives. All we can do is extend our hearts to those who need them most. Be blessed and may the light of your love continue to brighten the world.
Dude you’re comment almost put me in tears man WTF 😭 I’ve been a serious KsE fan since I first saw them in 2003 on the second stage at Ozzfest!! I loved them then and through everything the band had been through I still love them With Jesse or Howard!!
I was in my teens when KSE first hit my ears. A day I'd never ever forget. Now I'm 31. Thank you for helping me recall my childhood in a more melodious and matured way. Never stop making such videos.
Sean this is absolutely brilliant. Speechless at this and 'Always' - please don't stop supplying the world with your talent and the beauty that stems from it. Thank you Sean!
My God, I can not stop thinking that you are someone who was born for music. I've heard many covers in my life, but in yours you can appreciate a total essence of who you are and your essence is huge and fantastic. You were born for music, NEVER DOUBT :) .
absolutely ingenious cover of a band whose songs accompany me since my teenage years and highlight so many great memories and moments back into my memory. Thanks a lot for this.
It's incredible how our brains work, that we can hear these sounds and invoke so many beautiful emotions. I am grateful to be alive every single day, one reason is to enjoy music, like yours Sean. Thanks for giving people a great reason to be alive.
This is my favorite KSE song and I truly believe there's biblical messages sprinkled throughout a lot of their songs. Not saying they're 'worship' (and it's not) it does fit with Christian moral values. This one's meaning in particular is saying we should stop being selfish and love others and help those who are in need; sacrificing what you want (in other words rejecting yourself) for them. Even Jesus Himself said "You must deny yourself" and to "love one another".
One of my favorite pieces by them. I love all of your covers man they are so beautiful and they always leave me speechless and sometimes a few tears roll because I can't take the amount of beauty at once. You are incredible
Listened to your channel for a long time. Please keep up the great work. When I can't sleep your music puts me at peace and helps clear my mind. Chillswitch engage is awesome. A request. Would like to hear your take on Breaking Benjamin in the future.
You should have a million subscribers by now! Your talent is remarkable, and you should be doing this in front of thousands of people nightly! Easily, you are the best pianist I have heard , based on the genre of music I enjoy!
It's beyond beautiful!! This band was my childhood, because I loved metal in general. Now Im here again, because the full meaning of their songs!! Anxiety it's a monster... Now that I'm older and life has proved to me so many times how hard it can be, I feel destroyed!! It's really hard to "move on and do things" when my own mind keep blocking me!! Your covers are helping so much!! They are beautiful and full of soul!! Your soul!! I'm happy that I found you at this moment in my life!! Hope that someday I can get over it!! Maybe moving to a place that I can actually feels better like England... Always loved there!! I really don't know... Thank you so much again!! And sorry for the long comment and for grammar mistakes... English-language it's not my firts language!!
Thank you for the heartfelt message my friend. It honestly means a lot to know that my work is helping you. As someone who has battled anxiety for many years, I totally understand what you're going through. I promise things will get better. Keep fighting. My prayers are with you! God bless
Thank you... your music... I use to write myself... but this... dam my guy... absolutely wondrous... stay immortal my friend... you are appreciated. :) much love...
Give yourself to Compassion!!!!!Wow....Sean....this is absolutely beautiful! I never imagined such beauty could be captured. I feel as though My ears have fulfilled their primary mission in life...such grace in this song. You have breathed new life into my favorite kse song on Daylight Dies. Bless you. For your talent is as endless and deep as the ocean. Perfect.
Mr.townsend...i been coming to your channel sense then your piano tributes have brought me to tears and and raw emotions that I cannot describe in words. Your mice of men cover was one that struck home for me. Please Mr.townsend don't stop what you are doing! You're work is a masterpiece. Would you consider a piano cover of tomorrow won't go down in history by enter shikari? Keep up the excellent Mr.Townsend.
I just wanted to say that I was really moved by your interpretation of the song. I’ve been experiencing anxiety recently and it’s helped hugely. You have a gift for this brother.
Thank you Sam. It really means a lot to know that my work helps you in such a meaningful way. As someone who has battled anxiety for years, I completely appreciate what you're going through. Healing always takes time, but I promise things will get better. I will keep you in my prayers. May the days ahead be gentle for you.
@@seantownsendmusic - Just to let you know that you were right and things did get better. I made some changes in my life and now I haven't had an anxious episode for several months. Thank you :)
This is so profound...damn. Nice man. I'll use this as background to write. I myself create some piano melodies, these are the type I like to hear. Profound, peaceful, and a bit melancholic at the same time. You are gifted my friend.
Please, if possible upload the best quality as possible to stream apps (Tidal, Spotify etc). Your music deserves to be listened by lots of people with the highest quality as possible!
Their cries are blown away with the wind How passive can we be before humanity is lost? Turning our backs on those who need love We must not rest while healing is needed Tear down the veil That bars your heart from feeling this Dedicate yourself Give your souls to compassion With open arms embrace this heart With open eyes behold the truth Embrace this life So little time is left We must be relentless In our pursuit of those in torment Tear down the veil (tear down the veil) That bars your heart from feeling this Dedicate yourself (dedicate yourself) Become the voice of compassion With open arms embrace this heart With open eyes behold the truth Embrace this life Can you reject yourself? Can you feel their agony? In a world that feeds on disregard Heal the broken hearted
