I had the good fortune of seeing The Smile in Brussels two weeks ago. I have mixed feelings about the album version of Bending Hectic. Specifically I really dislike the harsh mix in the final chorus. Live, however, it was incredible - absolutely the highlight of the show. This inspired me to try my hand at a piano version.

Naturally the song doesn't immediately lend itself to the piano because the instrumentation is very dense, so this arrangement is kind of its own thing. I hope you like it!

04:50 - Second verse - "The ground is coming for me now..."
06:00 - Cacophony
06:24 - Last chorus - "Despite these sings..."
