Cardiacs - Tarred and Feathered (piano cover)

Показать описание

SHIT. REST IN PEACE TIM SMITH

Sheet music:

Translating this notorious Cardiacs tune to piano is one thing, actually playing it from beginning to end is something different. Here is my best attempt so far. Have a nice day!
You can find some of my own music here:
If you like Cardiacs (as you should), you might like this too.

Give me a minute to scrape my jaw off the floor

The fact that you turned all that into a cohesive piano piece that still represents the original in all its glory and madness is worthy of all the appreciation

I spontaneously went up from my sofa for a standing ovation, now, inspired, typing as if I would transcribe a complex work of art but in doing so realise that I need much more complicated words to express myself and develop my technique properly.

Beautifully played. Farewell Leader of the starry skies.

Stripping the song back like this shows what a work of compositional genius it really is

My piano teacher when I was eight years old would have died of a stroke upon hearing this abomination of song structure and time signature continuity. This is why I quit piano lessons to play baseball and fell in love with the Cardiacs 44 years later. Tim is the most creative song writer since Frank Zappa.

Wow, this piece was complicated enough for a six-piece band let alone just one piano. Outstanding performance and brilliant arrangement.

A lot of Cardiacs songs translate beautifully to the piano, but this must surely be the most difficult of them all to do justice to. And you've gone and aced it here, man! It has a kind of "hybrid (solo-epoch)-William D. Drake/ Full-Cardiacs-Arkestra sound", the way you've done it. Like it's always been an aspect of the band and the song, and all you've done is gone and Excalibured it out of its stone to startle us so pleasantly. Thanks so much for this.

Please cover an entire Cardiacs album and throw it on Bandcamp. Hearing this on keys puts a stupid grin on my face. I think every Cardiacs fan would buy it up immediately. I'm sure you could manage to get approval to sell it.

I'd love for someone to play that as one of their piano Grade pieces and to watch the examiner's face. Tim Smith was a genuine musical genius, and your interpretation is brilliant.

One of the best things I've ever seen on any category.

There are times when you experience something like this and admire the brilliance of the performance (and this is superb) and then realise that this didn't exist before the genius that is Tim Smith sat down and put together a discordant assemblage of musical imagination to create this gem among so many marmitian masterpieces. The beauty lives on.
