Friends, this is my piano cover of one of my favorite songs from the soundtrack, "Despair" (composed by Hans Zimmer for Christopher Nolan's newest film, The Dark Knight Rises).

What an absolutely horrifying song, right? It's so dark...and I had to imitate this on the piano without making it sound "beautiful" or just simply "eerie." I hope I've done this song...JUSTICE.

Happy August 1st, everyone! I have a few (3) BIG piano videos coming out this month in addition to some smaller videos that I'll be making--two of which are Lindsey Stirling covers! I'll release more videos soon!

Stay frosty, friends!
