I had to practice a bit for this one - all done on my keyboard in grand piano mode to give it that unplugged sound.  I also play the song in Am instead of Cm to better fit my vocal range  :P  

I thought about adding in some guitar parts, but decided to leave it all piano...

So here is my unplugged version of Muse's tune called Bliss (2001 Origin of Symmetry)......warts and all......

                                                Bliss  (Muse cover)

Tommy...i am speechless too, you chose one of the most difficult Muse songs vocally to cover, and completely nailed it.

Dramatic and wonderful piano playing combined with a stunning vocal make this one of the best covers I have ever heard of a Muse song.

Thanks friends for listening!!  I'm glad to see some Muse fans out there too!  This is the very first ever complete song that I didn't play guitar on....

I know I'm just learning how to stretch my vocals a bit, so if it sounded like fingernails scratching a chalk board - my apologies... 

I just really luv some of Muse's songs - their incredible actually - so this rocker had to leap outside his warm box for a moment in time....

An epic presentation, Tommy! I agree with you, this works fine without gtr. This is very ambitious pick for a cover - not an easy one, but you made it well! Really good!!

Beautifully done Satchwood. Makes me want to sit down at my piano and give something a shot...but I know mine would turn into a senseless wanking session.

Hey thanks everyone for listening and commenting - I very much appreciate you all!!  Thanks for the support!

I'm sometimes a bit self-conscious of my singing voice  :-\  need to practice more often - so hey it was a big challenge for me and also doing the piano arpegios ~

I'd like to do more songs like this...  I still can't believe I didn't add any guitar on here.....geez..

Could have sworn I posted in this... :/

This is awesome! I didn't know you play piano too! Looks like I'm gonna have to step up my game a bit ;)

I know what you mean about singing. I'm still self conscious about my singing too. :/ You did a great job with it though.
