Mr. Bungle - Sleep (Part II): Carry Stress In The Jaw Lyrics

...he knew the secret song, now...

I can't believe how fantastic this is. The only problem is that I can no longer describe my favorite songs as being ones that are impossible to re-create. It's tied for my favorite piano rendition, along with that guy who plays Beethoven 7.

Many, many thanks for your comment!!!

Yes , the “secret song “ muahahahaha

As a pianist I can tell you did put a lot of effort into this. It sounds incredible and captured their music perfectly. Just not sure if in the Spy part, when he sings "they wouldn't tell me" may he sing G A A♯, C♯ D? who knows haha. Nice work again

Many thanks, Lucas!

Holy fuck. Carry Stress in the Jaw was the most difficult song I ever learned on drums. Spy was just fun 🙂 Arranging the whole thing for piano is a feat one might call Herculean. Bravo. Bravo. 👏👏👏

Many thanks, James!!

Wow I am floured this is one of if not the best cover I've ever seen. I don't even own a piano, I'm a guitarist lol, but it's still such an inspiration to see you attempt something this outright insane technically and musically. Its such an eye opener to the fact that there really are no limits to what you can do with such avant-garde songs and makes me think i can actually do something this crazy one day. Thank you for the extremely great and chilling performance

Checked out more of your channel and wOw most of your covers are like this lmao

Hahaha, it's a complete pleasure to find such appreciative ears :) Thank you!

im a big bungle fan and was wondering if you've considered doing 'after school special'?

It's definitely on the list for some point in the future.

Now you HAVE to complete the Sleep trilogy with Phlegmatics!

I definitely plan to at some point! :)

The Secret Song was incredibly played.. I could not of expected something that good.

Many thanks Joshua!

I know the secret song now!
outstanding transcription and performance, bravo man!

Thank you so much Miguel!

Lord yes! I love you!! Thanks!

Thanks Doug!

the Secret Song had my jaw to the floor. great job!

Thank you so, so much!!!

Dude this is ridiculous lol

My pleasure! :)

Fuck yeah!!!

YouTube needs a ♥️ button

FYI I've been using YouTube since it came out....you are my first subscription.

Thank you so much Michael!! You've really made my day! ❤

Beautiful cover! Reminded me of Conlon Nancarrow. Wish the recording was better but even if you recorded it with a casio calculator it would still rock! Congrats!!!

Many thanks Javier!

This is insanely good.

Thank you, Richard!

Holy fucking shit, how is this even possible?

You absolutely smashed it! One of the best covers I've seen on YouTube .
Well done indeed!

Thank you so much!!!

Amazing man! I'm very curious, how long did it took you to get this done?

Mád Skillz Man

Thanks!

This is amazing - would love to see more in the future.

Thank you! There is much more planned in the future, but I have other focuses for the moment....

amazing - I've watched the Mr Bungle covers now. I've never enjoyed piano so much

Many thanks!!

This is sublime, thanks!

Can you do None Of Them Knew They Were Robots, please?

@Roberto Amaru

Many thanks, Roberto! 'None of Them Knew...' is certainly on the list for some point in the future.....

It's absolutely astonishing! I'd never supposed that someone could make a piano cover of THIS thing of Bungle's heritage! And you did it brilliantly! Thank you!

2:36 - 3:25 Wow you totally nailed the Edgar Allan Poe poem part. It's one of my favorite parts from Bungle and you nailed every note. I mean, you just played Trey's, Danny's, Mike's and Trevor's parts at the same time with two hands on a piano. Just wow. You are very talented! Greetings from Argentina you are the best! You Even did Secret Song! 🙌

Chills...These chills... This song is one of my all time favorites! And you just made the best cover of it! If you ever make an album of these cover songs, please let me know, I'll buy it in any format.

@Niklas J. Rosenberg
Thank you for such a wonderful comment! I would really love to make a whole album of Mr. Bungle covers. I've tried contacting IPECAC several times but so far I've not heard anything back....

This is so damn good. I’d love to hear Travolta or Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz

@Vudujin
Thank you so much! I plan to post both this year :)

So much love for this cover holy moly! You’re a great musician, and you did a great job with this one. ❤️

@Zaxxyy ᕕ
Thank you so, so much!!!

This is god damn beautiful! one of my favorite mr bungle songs!

@Mathias Justesen
Many thanks, Mathias!

I thought this Mr/ Bungle videos couldn't be better. But this sir – is just outstanding even in your own universe. Thank you for that. If I only were one of the MB team – I'd be deeply moved. This is simply beautiful.

@Mikolaj Leszczynski
Thank you, Mikolaj, for such a lovely comment!!!

@:noMercy

Thank you! :)

I bow before you, master.

@Espen Storø
That's very kind. Thanks!

Whoever you are, is the most talented musician everrrrr...... jealous....

@Eric Robert
Thank you, Eric! That was such a lovely comment!!

Holy...... shit......

Mr. Bungle had Patton/Spruance/Dunn composing the majority of their material. No wonder they're such a gift even after all these years. Do you have any opinions about how they compare as songwriters? You've done Carry Stress In The Jaw/Holy Filament/Retrovertigo (Dunn) as well as Desert Search...(Spruance) and Ars Moriendi (Patton) - do you have a preference for Dunn in some way? His work does seem extraordinarily difficult and harmonically denser? (I'm not a musical theorist).

Te pasaste!!! Sin palabras!!!

@dust2
Heheh.....

Sequoia Sounds. You’re my new favorite youtube channel. You’re incredible. Thank you.

@Bobby Bang Bang
That's lovely to hear! Thank you so, so much!

Absolute Genius! I wonder if Mike Patton has heard this?

@Pete STUART
Thank you, Pete! I have sent a few messages to Ipecac, but as yet haven't heard anything back.....

Good Luck! Your choice of songs are so good that I'd love to hear some of your own compositions too because you can not only play tremendously well but also have a brilliant ear for melody.

Man, you are one of the greatest musicians I have ever listen. Thanks for letting me discover this song again for the first time.

@Cosme Fulanito
It's such a joy to hear that my work is appreciated. Thank you so, so, much!

so good...thank you

@Lark Vs. Owl
Thank you!

It seems every couple weeks something comes my way that makes me even more impressed with Japan, which is just mind-blowing considering how impressed I already was several years ago.

My friend you're great!

@MountainMushroom
Many thanks!

INSANE! WOW!

@Angel Lerma
I'm glad you liked what I did with it!

I'm sorry, but if there's a joke available, no matter how amazing you are (secret song rules) don't taka offence, it's a bad old joke: Sure he plays amazing piano, but I heard he sucks on the organ

man, I think in this part 6:15 it's G-A-Bb-C#-D in the melody, instead of G-Bb-C-C#-D. I hope understand. Well done

this like the a midi conversion

WOW!! Your videos are amazing! Great work!

@Sean Motley
Thank you so much!

Pleease do "Goodbye Sober Day". Pleeeeeease

@Поль Солнух
It's definitely already on the list (I just haven't worked out yet how I'm going to cover the central Chak chak chak chaka chaka section!)

Awesome!

@Mario Juano
Thank you, Mario!

For f... who are you?!? It's like three metronomes, a hefty orgasm and the distilled essence of good music were put through the LHC. Serious brownie points for doing Cardiacs, too. Buds and Spawn would sound amazing coming out of your fingers... just sayin'...

@kungfuasgaeilge
Thank you so much for your comment! I simply enjoy what I do, and it's a pleasure to share of it, that's all. I'll definitely consider your suggestions in the future if I feel I can do something with them.....

absolutely amazing....

@Just Wilder
Thank you!

You are truly a gift to the world, thank you for inspiring me to start studying again the piano after a painful 5-year long break. I hope everything goes amazing for you and you get all the joy, fame and ease of living you deserve.

@Νόσμα Ζάνησμπα
Thank you so much for such a beautiful comment!! I truly appreciate it! And I wish your fingers a happy return to dancing upon piano keys again.....

You are an insane madman. Thank you for being an insane madman and sharing it with the world.

@K J/K
Ha! Thanks! :)

Absolutely outstanding, never imagined this arrangement. Fantastic.
Are you familar with any Secret Chiefs 3?

@jim fear
Thank you, Jim! I do plan to make some Secret Chief 3 covers at some point in the future!

I wonder how you'd do that given the abundance of odd tunings and microtones! But I have faith! I think Tistrya is a lovely composition deserving of your attention. Or Bereshith. Or The Owl In Daylight. But you do you :D

This really was excellent. Very impressive...

@Well Fed Productions
Thank you!

This is amazing, great work!

@Ryan Spratt Music
Many thanks, Ryan!

Got one more for ya brotha, "A Smuggled Mutation" by Estradasphere.

@B.L. Fisher
My bucket list of intentions is growing at a vastly faster rate than I can ever hope to keep up with, but I'll still put it on the list!

Absolutely astonishing! I can't figure out how this is even possible but somehow you did it. So glad you included the "secret" track / "Spy vs. Spy!"

@Mark Ortlieb
Many, many thanks, Mark!!!

It's people like you who make YouTube the best site on the internet. What a task to take on. And you didn't skip the secret song either! Bravo!

@Tantacrul 
Thank you so, so much! Your comment means so much to me!

This is absolutely nuts.

@Astromyxin
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Did that really happen? Oh my god. That's amazing!

@William Exon
Thank you so much, William!

Hell. Yeah. 🤘
Probably my favorite song of all time...

@B.L. Fisher
Thank you, as ever! I'm very fond of this song too, although I honestly don't think that I did it much justice on piano alone. I bit off more than I could chew, but still, I'm glad I had a go at it.....

Hisokana Pianisuto Hey, it's a brutal undertaking, I think you did awesome! I could still sing along...

By far my fav album! Awesome cover!

@RhythMassacre
Thank you!

Amazing. Loved your Retrovertigo and Ars. So glad you're doing more Bungle!

@cody no name
Thank you, Cody! There will be a lot more Bungle in the future!

You nailed that Berenice part! (And the rest, of course) - Thanks for doing this one!

@Alec J
Thank you, Alec!

INCREDIBLE!

@TheEditorChris
Thank you!!

You are one of my favorite people on the planet, right now. In awe. Thank you!

@Adrian Fallwell
That's so lovely of you! Thank you!

You are an ivory tickling monster, sir!

@Chimpinalls
Heheh, thanks!

Brilliant cover!

@WhammyLooper
Thank you!!

absolutely incredible.
I hope this gets billion views and you'll get rich of it.

@slin0089
Thank you so much!!!! :)

I'm pretty sure you could release a record easily on Ipecac or Web of Mimicry with these awesome covers!

@Marty Carlton
Thanks, Marty! I have actually written to IPECAC a few times, but as yet have not heard back from anyone there.....

Merry Go Bye Bye next? Extended of course

Oh nice, can't imagine what the middle section would sound like on piano other than a cacophony of noise.

retrovertigoes I imagine it could be supplemented with sections in Raging Wrath where the noise was just to indecipherable to be useful to recreate ;) God knows we need someone ambitious to bring any form of production to Easter Bunny.. :(

If only man, if seriously only ;)

@The Dude
It's gone on the list :)

@retrovertigoes Imagine th bends better

Yeah! Secret Song!

@Guido Bisocoli
:)

I saw the notification. I said "are you kidding me?"
You were not kidding.

You are a very talented musician.

Suspended Animation is the best!

Pilin on late but nice name and avatar

@ma meeshka mow skwoz
Many, many thanks for your lovely comment!!!

Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz, Sequoia, anyone interested... this is my most recent piece. I covered Retrovertigo in garageband 😁
Use headphones if you have them 😉
