Trees | twenty one pilots Piano Cover

Forewarning: I'm gonna yap. About a week ago, I got to see the boys perform in Chicago from the center of the pit during their Clancy World Tour. My friend and I were pretty close to both Tyler and Josh during their Trees performance, and were able to get some great videos of them doing the crowd-drumming. For those of you who haven't experienced Trees from a pit, (or live, in general), it is truly a magical experience for everybody involved. Nothing compares to that camaraderie between the fans and the band in that moment, and the general synergy between everyone in the room is something I have yet to experience better at other concerts. And that confetti-fall at the climax is special every single time. (But shoutout to the Jumpsuit confetti / petals during the bridge, that had me super close to crying in the pit lmao.) It's crazy how far a track that started off as an autotuned mess has come in the importance of this band...

Anyways, I've been riding that concert high all week, and anytime I get reminded of how much I love this band, I get the urge to do a cover. I realized Trees never got one, and I was really feeling this arrangement I had been messing around with, so here it is! I hope you enjoy, and hopefully you don't mind some of the creative liberties in the second verse :)

Lyrics (starting at 0:17):

I know where you stand
Silent in the trees
And that's where I am
Silent in the trees
Why won't you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees
Standing cowardly

I can feel your breath
I can feel my death
I want to know you
I want to see
I want to say

Hello, hello
Hello, hello

I know where you stand
Silent in the trees
And that's where I am
Silent in the trees
Why won't you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees
Standing cowardly

I can feel your breath
I can feel moy death
I want to know you
I want to see
I want to say
Hello
Hello

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Yeah

Hello, hello!
Hello, hello!
