Zedd - Clarity ft. Foxes (Evan Duffy Piano Cover)

Clarity ft. Foxes
by Zedd

Ok guys, it's here. I know, I know, long time coming, right? But I really hope it was worth the wait for you... I know it was for me! This is a special video for many reasons. I had some help from my good friends Robert Boag (video) and Josh Woods (audio mix), and this wouldn't look or sound a fraction as good without them.

The video is also special because it's one of my favorite tracks by one of my favorite artists, AND it was my first "live" piano video where I mic'd it up and layered a bunch of different parts. AKA, everything you hear was recorded and filmed live, then layered one on top of each other to give you the full mix (essentially there are up to 5 "pianos" playing at once).

I really hope you guys dig this video. It's been a lot of hard work on everyone's part, and we're so incredibly thrilled to share it with you.

ME (Evan Duffy!)

[Meepston]

Well I'll be damned, Zedd actually started using the beginning of this cover for his B2B set at Echostage a few weeks ago and at EDC yesterday. Full circle.

I'm honestly so frustrated at myself for not being able to discover him, his talent, and his channel, for 7 years until today. The video along with the magic he created just from the piano itself left me speechless. Very original indeed and I never thought the piano could be this any more beautiful. Thank you so much for this video and this really inspired me to make something that gives off a new shed of light and beauty the same way Evan Duffy does, thinking outside the 'box'.

[TheThriceIsRight]

I really don't want to admit that I might like your rendition more than the original but I might like your rendition more than the original

[daniel_jang]

Wow...this is so beautiful..thanks man.

[samsepoil]

this is one of the most soothing, euphoric melodies I have ever heard. I will die with this playing in my head. these tunes make me so happy to have had the privilege to be a human.

[calixtemayoraz]

You see, it's people like you who really push the boundaries of music. By first of all taking musical styles that we wouldn't think would sound THIS GOOD on piano and making a masterpiece, and then using the instrument itself to crank out very very beautiful, mysterious, and interesting sounds.

I hope you will keep on this trajectory, because this is simply amazing.

[DemstarAus]

I'm almost in tears, this is the first time I've genuinely smiled for months. Hugs n stuff from Australia ^_^

[farahdeidewi]

High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull, then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

[AlphaFlip]

You probably heard this already, but this brought tears to my eyes. You are insanely talented and thank you for showing your talent to the world!

[countingstarsagain]

After 2 years of this song being on YouTube I still come back to it to, along with all of his other piano covers and originals. So beautiful, you can feel the passion.

[jeremyadams]

dude played a piano wire like a violen. epic

[nathanlachman]

Who knew that when crossover categories of music began that we'd be listening to EDM as classical arrangements. Less than 15 years ago EDM wasn't even understood. Now this... SMH..incredible. Keep it up. The smoking gun that EDM truly is beautiful music and not just NOISE. Live your passion, you will never "work" a day in your life.

Goosebumps moment 1:08

Haven't heard this song in years...

[blocktar]

"Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?"

Still coming back to this video after all these years!! So dope Evan

[tonipistritto]

Hey!

I just want to let you know that I loved this rendition of Clarity so much I will be using it to walk down the aisle to at my wedding. It’s flawless (and just to happens to be my fiancé and I’s song). 💜 Thank you!

[benvolio]

what's that? The sound of the piano guys awkwardly shuffling in their shoes?? You, sir, set the youtube piano benchmark. thanks for staying in school.

[masterchief]

This honestly gave me goosebumps. Perfect rendition of one my my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists. Thank you Evan!

[marcelventer]

God has given you the most amazing talent ever

[parkerdodson]

The reason this is so good is because it inspires through creativity. That's something many artists fail to do.
