    dont get the same feeling with the piano
    the guitar solo is always heavenly

    This video should have millions of views already! Easily one of the best comfortably numb performances.

    if you wanna hear the epic guitar solo just listen to the original. this is something different

  • @chr970
    @chr970 Před 2 lety +2

    I’ll get ripped for saying this, because I’ve seen the comments about harmonies and musicality from all of them....this is great,..9/10....but honestly feel if Joel had taken the vocals totally on his own, and was allowed to own that song by himself,....12/10.

    My God what a beautiful thing! Come play here in Brazil !

    I started this video and saw some of the complaints in the comments and thought I might turn it off a minute or two into it, but this is actually a really great and different take on the song. I don't think this version needs Gilmour's guitar solos, that's what the original is for. Anyway, great singing and playing here. I love the combination of voices.

    Not many can play this song and do it epically...and they did it...

  • @amritagoyal2324
    @amritagoyal2324 Před 7 lety +19

    I always thought David Gilmour's guitar solos were the keynote of, well, any Floyd song. I can't believe how wrong I was. This is beautiful, and the piano and the harmonizing makes it a lovely interpretation. Being a pianist, I love seeing rock guitar solos tastefully covered, and even though the effect is very different, it's absolutely brilliant

    • @thenovelists
      @thenovelists  Před 2 lety +1

      We really appreciate this. So many were furious at us for not re-creating the exact same solo (my favorite guitar solo of all time). Thank you for catching that the difference was intentional.

  • @idh12volt
    @idh12volt Před 10 lety +7

    I remember the first time I heard you guys perform this song live, and was completely blown away. I'm a Pink Floyd fan from WAY back, and VERY picky about anyone covering one of their songs, but this was absolutely brilliant.

  • @angelogandolfo4174
    @angelogandolfo4174 Před 2 lety +3

    With any such timeless, beautiful, near-perfect number as your starting point/original, this would always be a HUGE ask. And, IMHO, you’ve done a great job!!!!

    @Likosak Před 8 lety +12

    Love everything about it. That girl voice makes it so interesting together with main vocalist. Piano solo instead of guitar one so original. Love it. Hope you gonna get succesfull cuz you guys deserve it. ;) Peace

    While I long for the hectic master guitar at the end... even after the first note... this version took me on a journey into the depth of the lyrics... to a place I crave and run from. Just brilliant.
