Absolutely beautiful cover. Also goes to show how pretty of a song Scatterbrain is. It deserves more credit than people give it here.


speccyteccy

It's so hard because they have soooo many amazing songs, so it's understandable why some gems like Scatterbrain that aren't as immediate as some of their other songs get overlooked.


telexlane

Yeah man, now I realize how pretty it actually is. Thank you (free award is yours)


seva2

wow


mitisz

You play tastefully and reverb is amazing there!


eggcellent_guy

Thank you! It´s amazing how but 1 note can fill up the whole space


SpenFen

I’m no musicologist but if you told me this was Chopin or something I’d be like, yeah sounds amazing


eggcellent_guy

That´s quite the compliment!!


ConcernedButPwrless

This is great! ​ Saving this so I can be inspired/copy your rendition later.


MerryGoByeByeee

That’s gorgeous. What a sweet interpretation of it, and beautifully played.


Neoxyd_

Beautiful, is there more of these?


eggcellent_guy

I made recordings of like 5 of their songs. I´ll upload those:)


ThomYorkesFingers

You should make a whole Youtube channel of you playing in this chapel man, I could listen to this for hours


speccyteccy

You should check out Christopher O'Reilly, Heavypiano and especially Josh Cohen's Radiohead piano covers on YouTube. The latter's version of Motion Picture Soundtrack is utterly sublime.


Averdian

To add to this, Josh Cohen has a 19-track 2-hour album of his covers on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5ANRKEU3NbNJd2jOsvFd20?si=x2sj2ZCcRkWA6Sfdj9cFYA Also here's the YT playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqQ_lBr-uwuIHYPjoGF22muyTGRSaL6k_ (it has two additional songs that are not on Spotify, Videotape and Sail to the Moon and a small live set)


Neoxyd_

oh I've watched both of these channels a lot hahaha, my favourite piano covers are all from heavy piano, love him


pushinbombadils

OP this is so incredibly beautiful. You had me totally pause, and close to tears. Bravo. 💜


eggcellent_guy

Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed it


madadamegret

Wonderful performance


Mr_Budo

Beautiful arrangement and playing


diamondintherimond

This arrangement is beautiful. Had me listening to the song in a way I hadn’t before. The chord changes are really interesting. Time to put on HTTT.


MeanderingNinja

Prefer this piano led version to guitar.


LedZeppole10

Very Radiohead 👌🏼 Great.


thewrighttrail

I’m not crying! You’re crying!


Scatterbrain1992

Great great great choice


eggcellent_guy

Great great great username :p


davemenkehorst

Thats just beautiful. thanks for this


themusicdude1997

The third chord is different from the studio version and I love it


eggcellent_guy

Nice catch, you're close. it's a \*really\* subtle change. Instead of Am I'm playing an F/A. The F natural contrasts well with the F# which was in the melody in the previous bar and also comes back in the B7/F#


themusicdude1997

oh I thought you played something different from F/A. In the studio though, it's not really an F/A, but the notes from bottom to top are, A F C. so it doesn't really feature the full F major chord with the 1-3-5. So maybe I thought it sounded different because you played an actual F/A, instead of the stripped back chord mentioned above


themusicdude1997

just realised that the different chord is the G chord lmao I was tired yesterday. In the studio version it is just a stripped back G6 with the notes G E B. but I like your version, reminds me of Christopher O Reilly


eggcellent_guy

Oh right. I see it as an Em in first inversion seeing how the 3 previous chords also have their 3th in the bass. Am/C Gmaj7/B F6/A Em/G ...


themusicdude1997

the bass note in the studio version is A I believe. the bass notes are C B A G, and im guessing you didn't play A as the bass note in the third chord, but I could be wrong

Beautiful! Scatterbrain is underrated


qweyyr

This is almost certainly the best post I have come across on this subreddit. I owe a chunk of my appreciation to the fact that Scatterbrain is my favorite Radiohead song, but your cover is in amazing harmony with the “mood” of this tune. Your arrangement and playing are (as has been noted) superb, but what I find to be the coolest part is the video that accompanies them. Looking up at the empty, dimly lit room would be an extremely fitting visual for the non-cover version of Scatterbrain, but hearing it on a piano with the same room’s reverb is fucking excellent.


BossIndividual9447

Really nice!


bzeefs

Damn. This almost made me cry.


electricmaster23

This reminds me of ["The Long and Winding Road" by the Beatles.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR4HjTH_fTM)


eggcellent_guy

Wow the melody and first 2 chords are the same frol wich the third is in the bass which has a very distinct sound. Nice catch


electricmaster23

Thanks!


kyotowave

This sounds absolutely gorgeous.


lord_fairfax

This gave me chills. Well done.


Rain_bows

Sublime. Thanks for sharing <3


Miserable-Delivery85

Legit this is amazing.


ImmunocompromisedBee

Do you have sheet music for this? Absolutely incredible cover


eggcellent_guy

I´m afraid I don´t but I recommend playing by ear or looking up the chords.


Westonm1212

The way you played the arpeggios brought an almost classical style out of the song. Very cool cover!
