To the "technical and trained classical" musicians commenting negatively on Mr. Side's videos: what David is doing is what the TH-cam generation/viewers want to see and enjoy. We appreciate this. We think it's brilliant. We might be wrong from a technical and trained perspective - Mr. Side might suck to a trained professional - and you might be a better classical piano player than Mr. Side, but you're not providing us with this entertain we love. So go back to your opera house and stop hating.
This is not a competition it is MUSIC.You can feel the love for MUSIC when he plays and for you to make it about how Hard it isn't well that my friend says something about you.
I am truly appalled by how good you made my ears feel while watching this. Please, keep doing what you do till your fingers no longer move on that piano.
hey David, so i was hoping ,as a big fan of your vídeos, you could check my own version of the scientist...i wrote it myself : Piano - Coldplay - The Scientist - Cover
se necesitarian 3 manos para tocar bien ese tema, ya que no se puede seguir la continuidad del bajo y los acordes al mismo tiempo que se toca la melodía.
@YouT0Tube Well, I can understand why people dislike this video. Generally, I like David's covers, but this one sounds very boring. I think it could have been done in a much more interesting way. I even like Adrien Lee's cover better than that. P.S. I make piano covers myself, so maybe that's why I can see how this one can be improved. And once again, I like David's covers very much, I just think this one he didn't work on long and thoroughly enough.
This is beautiful, wonderful work. :) I arranged a cover of The Scientist, and it's always so inspiring to hear all the different personal interpretations of the same song. Keep it up!
excellent comment if you meant it to be funny, most people do not even understand why they like music, it is to sing a-long with the vocalist, that is why instrumental music is boring to most people, how many sing by themselves a cappella without a recording? while instrumentalists drive their spouses crazy improvising while trying to get their partner to give them a happy ending at the same time, With the birth of the first artist, came the inevitable afterbirth of the critic,lol
TH-cam is littered with people that can't sing, so they change the original song and call it a cover. It's hard to learn from it if you want to sing and it's annoying to listen to the piano alone. As a piano player it's really annoying when you have to search hundreds of covers to find one vocal/piano cover. I'm not hating, I'm just frustrated that there are so many damn piano players and no one knows or has the confidence to sing.
funny , meaning schase10353 was intentionally acting dumb and dumber because he is not witty in any other way,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if someone has no talent, at least they can be a youtube critic and think they are
@Ytierssen23 you lie! that's the same link someone posted onto well crap hundreds of videos! search that link anybody into google and someone posted the exact same link onto random vids of piano. heads up on this one
Subliminal....BRAVO! some people said it was slow and so on but i like it just the way David did it...You know you are a musician when both the original and the cover are amazing...Thank you David. You are blessed.
yo dude this is sick... but i was wondering could you make a version of slow dancing in a burning room too? i've been trying to play this song for at least two years and it still sounds like crap lol
i wasnt bein racist i have friends who r black and they r not into this music. i am not racist at all far from it. i meant this song makes me happy. sorry if i offended anyone i do apologise
this video was rated 5 stars. deservedly so...excellent job, although i'm sure u've got plebt of positive feedback...i'd try to give some critisism but i just can't well done.
I can use this instrument for its French rap? I rap and I would put on this kind of instrument .. it is perfect, good job .. I would mention your name .. Thank you: D
I'm too lazy to look at the past 2551 comments. Can someone tell me if Coldplay has commented on this one? I think Chris Martin would probably love it. Great cover!
MrmasterchiefXD I read ur comment just then and tommorow I'm going on holiday wiv my best friend so it was wright!!!!:) all that u put was wright as well!:)xx
Well done David! This is one of my favourite songs and you just hit it out of the park, beautiful... You should be extremely proud of yourself for the happiness you bring to people!!
@Eazy24Erik I hate how you automaticly assume technical people play classical. I play modern rock/alternative song on my piano, and I still think he isn't great compared to other TH-camrs. Don't get me wrong, he is good at piano, and considering that this was made four years ago, and he has most likely inproved alot since, he definatly has the potential to be great. I wouldn't mind watching a redo of some of his song with his current skill, but the "technical classical lovers" have a point.
@DickKnowsBest I wasn't arguing that at all. I'm just saying that unless you have a prodigy or something, a pro will always sound better then some person who doesn't know what they're doing as much. And a prodigy is someone who plays like a pro without training, or at a very young age. I'm not dissing dave sides, but I'm saying he's not a prodigy and I know plenty of people who are trained classical pianists that can play this much better. But this is by no means a bad performance in my opinion.
@EvangelionUnit13 they are still entitled to their opinion. You can't say, "just because it's not positive means it isn't allowed." Good or bad, people have freedom of speech. Maybe you're not from america, but Mr. Sides is and those are one of the rights of this country. Haters gonna hate, just let them and don't take it upon yourself to do anything about it because you can't change their minds. Those 126 dislikes aren't going to disappear from your actions.
@TheRealrocker74 The point is that David Sides seems to be the only person playing piano covers to new, popular songs and sharing them on TH-cam, and untrained people love it. Other pianists might be able to do the same thing, but they're not! So why comment negatively on Mr. Sides' videos? To make themselves feel better? The untrained folk don't give a crap if Mr. Sides sucks, it sounds cool enough to us. If it's not even worth explaining, as you said, then don't say anything at all.
@Eazy24Erik people aren't hating on this guy as a musician, just as a pianist because he has terrible technique. that doesn't make him a bad musician. It just means that all he can play is stuff like this, he will never be able to play on the level of a classically trained or jazz pianist. I'm sure he's perfectly fine with that. People are free to voice their opinions here in the comments, so if someone who has put thousands of hours into practicing and honing their technique, wants to say...
@EvangelionUnit13 Well I don't know what pianists you know, but almost all pianists I know trained in Classical or Jazz styles can play all types of amazing shit without anything in front of them. Part of classical training is Aural Dictation and being able to figure intervals, chord progressions, and melodies out by ear, so if you know pianists that can't play stuff without music in front of them, they just aren't very good. Sorry :P
@locri94 well technically you can, HE is a musician which requires of all things alone, MUSICAL TALENT, a rapper requires well a computer with the software to make beats. Is this making any sence to you or am I waisting my breath? Weather it's im gonna kill the police OR mary had a little lamb either requires about the same amount of talent! Bottom line he is a MUSICIAN, they are not, case closed!
What the hell do you think your doing with those grace notes? Also, improve your bass arrangements. The bass and melody is highly disconnected as well as your style of playing being very expressionless and mechanic - that does not suit this song. The 'chorus' part of the arrangement is shocking. Playing octave intervals in octaves above what was originally written does not do anything musically.
@CliffRichard55555 See, I love music like this. Piano is so expressive of emotion. I'm terribly addicted to the idea of how music affects people. It is my dream to be able to create such music... To play with your heart, not with your hands. Play with your soul, give it your all... and somehow, you may play the same notes as the next person, but you will truly affect people. This man is gifted.
I like your music a lot. But your website is corrupt. I have ordered music from this website and did not receive it as indicated on the site. I have contacted PayPal and registered a dispute. The customer service link on the site is non functional and I have not been able to contact anyone about my order. I not be purchasing any more music from your site and I don't recommend anyone do.
nahh i dont think im "simon cowell of the piano".. i have an opinion.. another you tube argument.. wow.. the many millions you see on here every day... for me.. sounds bit to slow and something at the start doesnt quite do it for me either.. also sounds like a key change as well.. but im not sure.. hope your happy.. wasted my time with a reply.. cheers.. you will never meet me.. you will never know me.. i will never meet you.. i will never know you... POINTLESS !!
you freaking wankers.... he plays with touch.... with his emotions in it.... he doesn't say it's good or it's not... he shows how it sounds on piano and he gives the music his own twist to it. His own imagine, his own thought... So don't go cry if you say he isn't good... he IS good... well i should say to you @goodarzi Take your 2 hours and post a vid. of a song which David didn't play yet and it has to be a NEW song... than we will talk again ;) good luck my friend, show us your skills.. XD
Finally someone who forgets about the music that's being played and judges the way it's played cause let me tell u SIdes' playing style is far off anything that could be called good. i mean look at the comments people make saying "hey thats good :) " no it's not. the only reason you like it is that he is playing a cover of a pop song - a very bad cover nevertheless. PLEASE WAKE UP AND REALISE IT'S NOT GOOD. i could play his cover of aplogise in the space of two hrs. Its not hard.
i completly agree but playing classic piano is a damn sight harder and i think that people like david are very over rated just cause the music they play is more understandable and easier to listen to. Personally i like classic and jazz piano and i understand that everyone has different taste but it would be a good idea to think outside the box and try something different, something far more complex but far more beautiful. And even if they dont then try listening to a better cover than this one.
I would so love to play on that piano. How you play it sounds amazing but I'd love to be able to play this song the way I play it. Not saying in any way at all that yours is bad but I'd love to hear my version on a real piano instead of a pos 10 year old keyboard lol. Also nice to see the older videos from back in the day before hd cameras =-)
@DickKnowsBest and I'm sorry, but I don't care how much a person loves a song and how much effort they put into it. Someone who has been playing for 10-20 years and had good teachers will always be more enjoyable to listen to because they know what they are doing and they are better players. That's why those are the people getting the gigs...not novices.
@DickKnowsBest A trained professional first of all doesn't have to practice as much because they are on such a level, that they could probably site read something like this. Second of all, professionals DO practice more than novices because they have a lot more endurance, skill, and practice techniques. So what you just said makes no sense haha
@EvangelionUnit13 that's fine. I didn't say that whatever their comments are, is okay, but as a user of youtube they are allowed to post whatever they want. That's my point, I didn't say you couldn't, it's perfectly alright for you to comment. I'm just saying that you attacking the haters really solves nothing except for fueling them...unless that's what you want.
@myuzeefreak No, actually, I am well known and I'd be safe betting that I make for in one night than you do in a month. I'm not 'bringing' anybody down. The idea of comments is to voice opinions. I didn't say he should play classical music. 'Amazing' is your opinion. I am an expert and you are not correct. There is nothing remarkable about this video!
Well in the video, David Sides starts w/ 2 hands. I listened to the song again and it sounds like THERE are 2 hands playing the intro. Now I really do think I have the wrong music sheets b/c I just realized that my sheets say it was arranged by Ludy, the words and music were by Guy Berryman, John Buckland, Will Champion, and Christ Martin. What do you think?
You could make your own music with this fascinating playing, and you can make money from it, but money isn't what matters, what matters is that you can be big, you can please others with your amazing talent, your talent to play music perfectly and be recognized in all the big rich metropolises and in all of the poor deserts by playing amazing music. Think about it.
Yeah, I do. Musicians giving constructive criticism to each other really isn't anything terrible; there's always room for improvement somewhere. I learned on a cheapie unweighted keyboard, so I understand how hard it is to adjust to the dynamic range of a grand piano at first. The only thing your playing lacks is dynamic control, as did mine for quite awhile.
Dude, you can be famous. At least for me you are already an Icon! I saw almost your videos, you made me LOVE Coldplay!!!! I own ya that :) And i hope you never give up, even if other dumbasses start making bad comments!! As far as i know, "jelously" is one of the mortal sins XD Keep it up bud ;) Ya are the best!
You show such passion in playing a wonderful song like this. well played my piano brother. Keep up the good playing. kinda wish i had the time to play more but it is what it is. hahah maybe ill make the ball n chain deal with me having some much needed time to play.
@hero10031995 You are no were near him! he plays all by ear and does it in one take. he is a true piano genius! don't lie or try to compare yourself with him. post over a 100 songs all by ear and play them first take then compare. until then your in fantasy land.
wow this is just beautiful the song it self is.. and you only add to it. you are fucking amazing. i seriously can't get over you. lol i have friends from all over & i showed them yr videos. and they were like HOW DO MORE PEOPLE NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS GUY?!!. :] you are the shizzzlee
I completly agree with you. i think the only reason people like him is that he plays pop and hip hop songs. i would really like to see him play a classic. if u really want to hear a proper pianist then you have came to the wrong place, try searching kissin or barenboim or lang lang.
Yeah, Sum 41 copied the chords for "Pieces", as well. The chords are very appealing to the human ear. It'd be interesting to see if anymore artists used these as well. You should watch Rob Pavlonian's thing on Pachabel's "Canon in D" to see how many artists used That one, haha. Good find, though!
After 11 years, this is still my favorite piano cover.
I´m 28 years old and i love piano.... next month i will start my piano class! Never its to late. You are very good! Congrats.
question from present: Did u learn anything?
REALLY AMAZING!!!!******
To you all I say:
Laugh when you can,
apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.
play hard,
forgive quickly,
take chances,
give everything
and have no regrets.
Life's too short to be anything...but happy.
Absolutely love your covers! This is the first one I came across years ago and I still come back to listen to my favourites.
I feel so much things when I listen it.. it was the song for my dad funeral.. You play it so well that you make me cry haha !
u make me wanna play the piano. good job man. glad to see u r still active
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh
I find it amazing how you arrange music so competently and consistenly.
Came across this cover back in 2007! Still loving it in 2014 as if it were the first time hearing it! Well done David!
Aysar Drabick
Aysar Drabick d
Aysar Dr ab mich
i didnt think id see a black person who likes coldplay.makes me happy.your really good mate.well done
Amazing that talent my congratulations!!!!
Thanks!
To the "technical and trained classical" musicians commenting negatively on Mr. Side's videos: what David is doing is what the TH-cam generation/viewers want to see and enjoy. We appreciate this. We think it's brilliant. We might be wrong from a technical and trained perspective - Mr. Side might suck to a trained professional - and you might be a better classical piano player than Mr. Side, but you're not providing us with this entertain we love. So go back to your opera house and stop hating.
this reminds me of friend ho would had been 11 today but he is de dead
This is not a competition it is MUSIC.You can feel the love for MUSIC when he plays and for you to make it about how Hard it isn't well that my friend says something about you.
I am truly appalled by how good you made my ears feel while watching this. Please, keep doing what you do till your fingers no longer move on that piano.
now i dont have piano anymore and had play this song a lot times;
everytime i want to hear piano cover i listen this! thank u!
2022!!! And still!! ❤️
Thank you!
It's really sad that people are fighting instead of listening to David's gorgeous covers...
dislikes? i don't understand ? why people can't just enjoy the music ? thanks dude.
love the "Nobody said" octaves part
so perfect
Amazing
Watching your videos has touched me more than anything else I can remember.
hey David, so i was hoping ,as a big fan of your vídeos, you could check my own version of the scientist...i wrote it myself : Piano - Coldplay - The Scientist - Cover
music is so much more then just a sound or a beat or a lyric its LIFE
It dose not matter if it's slow or not he is PERFECT!!!!!! My hero!
words cannot describe the mastery of this composition
That was absolutely beautiful
Its also the first song i had taught myself to play.
Brings back so many memories 😪 ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏾
David Sides can give a piano a voice of it's own.
se necesitarian 3 manos para tocar bien ese tema, ya que no se puede seguir la continuidad del bajo y los acordes al mismo tiempo que se toca la melodía.
this is why there should be a minimal age and IQ requirement to comment on youtube...
you make happy a lot of persons.... thanks for all, best wishes from Spain.
@YouT0Tube Well, I can understand why people dislike this video. Generally, I like David's covers, but this one sounds very boring. I think it could have been done in a much more interesting way. I even like Adrien Lee's cover better than that.

I LOVE this you're the man well after dave grohl you are lol
i'ma disregard that statement because you are right for the most part.
doesn't matter what race. he's great.
typical gamer
what I would give to have a talent like this! I need to get a keyboard and a self-learn book...
Now you’ve been playing piano for 17 years now

Thank you! 🙌🏾
very easy listning music unlike that heavy metal sh*t ...apart from linkin park,paramore and evernesence .....lol....very good 5/5 stars.
just posted a video response for the same song - the scientist. your version's really awesome! great playing there, keep rocking!
How would that make you a geek? I think trying to disguise yourself as not being a geek is more geekier than actually being a geek.
Inspiring, I am now subscribed :)
You play very well but in all your vids the pianno is out of tune... tune it please.
It is just the high ones ok?
Thanks!!!

Personally i like classic and jazz piano and i understand that everyone has different taste but it would be a good idea to think outside the box and try something different, something far more complex but far more beautiful. And even if they dont then try listening to a better cover than this one.
I found the lyrics and was singing along ! thumbs up for great job.
I would so love to play on that piano. How you play it sounds amazing but I'd love to be able to play this song the way I play it. Not saying in any way at all that yours is bad but I'd love to hear my version on a real piano instead of a pos 10 year old keyboard lol. Also nice to see the older videos from back in the day before hd cameras =-)
@DickKnowsBest and I'm sorry, but I don't care how much a person loves a song and how much effort they put into it. Someone who has been playing for 10-20 years and had good teachers will always be more enjoyable to listen to because they know what they are doing and they are better players. That's why those are the people getting the gigs...not novices.
@DickKnowsBest A trained professional first of all doesn't have to practice as much because they are on such a level, that they could probably site read something like this. Second of all, professionals DO practice more than novices because they have a lot more endurance, skill, and practice techniques. So what you just said makes no sense haha
@EvangelionUnit13 that's fine. I didn't say that whatever their comments are, is okay, but as a user of youtube they are allowed to post whatever they want. That's my point, I didn't say you couldn't, it's perfectly alright for you to comment. I'm just saying that you attacking the haters really solves nothing except for fueling them...unless that's what you want.
@myuzeefreak No, actually, I am well known and I'd be safe betting that I make for in one night than you do in a month.
I'm not 'bringing' anybody down. The idea of comments is to voice opinions.
I didn't say he should play classical music. 'Amazing' is your opinion. I am an expert and you are not correct. There is nothing remarkable about this video!
Well in the video, David Sides starts w/ 2 hands. I listened to the song again and it sounds like THERE are 2 hands playing the intro. Now I really do think I have the wrong music sheets b/c I just realized that my sheets say it was arranged by Ludy, the words and music were by Guy Berryman, John Buckland, Will Champion, and Christ Martin.
What do you think?
You could make your own music with this fascinating playing, and you can make money from it, but money isn't what matters, what matters is that you can be big, you can please others with your amazing talent, your talent to play music perfectly and be recognized in all the big rich metropolises and in all of the poor deserts by playing amazing music.
Think about it.
Yeah, I do. Musicians giving constructive criticism to each other really isn't anything terrible; there's always room for improvement somewhere.
I learned on a cheapie unweighted keyboard, so I understand how hard it is to adjust to the dynamic range of a grand piano at first. The only thing your playing lacks is dynamic control, as did mine for quite awhile.
Dude, you can be famous. At least for me you are already an Icon! I saw almost your videos, you made me LOVE Coldplay!!!! I own ya that :) And i hope you never give up, even if other dumbasses start making bad comments!! As far as i know, "jelously" is one of the mortal sins XD
Keep it up bud ;) Ya are the best!
just great =) i wish i could play that!
You show such passion in playing a wonderful song like this. well played my piano brother. Keep up the good playing. kinda wish i had the time to play more but it is what it is. hahah maybe ill make the ball n chain deal with me having some much needed time to play.
@hero10031995 You are no were near him! he plays all by ear and does it in one take. he is a true piano genius! don't lie or try to compare yourself with him. post over a 100 songs all by ear and play them first take then compare. until then your in fantasy land.
one of the most beautiful songs i've EVER heard
wow
this is just beautiful
the song it self is.. and you only add to it.
you are fucking amazing.
i seriously can't get over you.
lol i have friends from all over & i showed them yr videos. and they were like HOW DO MORE PEOPLE NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS GUY?!!. :]
you are the shizzzlee
I completly agree with you. i think the only reason people like him is that he plays pop and hip hop songs. i would really like to see him play a classic. if u really want to hear a proper pianist then you have came to the wrong place, try searching kissin or barenboim or lang lang.
Yeah, Sum 41 copied the chords for "Pieces", as well. The chords are very appealing to the human ear. It'd be interesting to see if anymore artists used these as well. You should watch Rob Pavlonian's thing on Pachabel's "Canon in D" to see how many artists used That one, haha. Good find, though!
