If there was a view counter keeping track of how many times I've listened to this song, I'd have a lot of explaining to do. The conversation would go something like "Sorry I didn't have a chance to call you back yet, I got stuck on TH-cam last week for 67 hours listening to a pianist"
Jon, please never stop making these videos! All of your songs touch my soul! You are such a wonderful pianist! You deserve so much more attention here on TH-cam! 😊
This song has a very meaningful place in my life. One of my best friends who absolutely loved Josh Groban tragically passed away two years ago. By sheer coincidence, the evening she passed, we were sitting on a bench outside listening to this very song. Minutes later she left for what I thought was just the night, and little did I know it would be the last time I ever saw her, even without the chance to give her one last hug or even say goodbye. Since then, listening to this has always allowed me to feel closer to her, and sometimes that she is even right there with me. Thank you for this. I shed a tear, but in a good way. Don't stop sharing your amazing work with the world.
@@jmopiano I completely think this is a place where stories like this can be shared. Music has amazing powers, and this definitely did bring back a good memory. Again, thank you. All of your work is incredible, but this one has a very special place in my life now. I've easily listened 20 times since discovering it yesterday
Bonjour JON , vous avez un don merveilleux , les mots me manque pour vous exprimer mon admiration ....vous écouter est une source de réflexion intérieure, d apaisement profond , et avoir ce luxe de pouvoir regarder les choses sous angle différent est tout simplement la définition simple de la vraie richesse ..MERCI .
One of my favorite tunes. As I browsed your page, I was hoping you might have a rendition of this tune.. And to my surprise.. you did! I really love your version.
No words. You are the inspiration that musicians and listeners alike aspire to. As a pianist, I strive to play with the amount of passion you have. The complexity and beauty of all of your compositions is just unreal. Subscribed, I look forward to watching more of your videos.
@@jmopiano I especially loved your arrangement for “Top of the world”, “I see the light”, “Colours of the wind”, and this one. I actually came across your channel when I was looking for a cover of “Top of the world” as I was going to be doing a live performance at a care home, and the residents loved classics, which included songs by the Carpenters. I saw some awesome covers which were closer to the traditional way of playing the song, but your specific arrangement had that special twinkle, I’m not sure how to describe it, but it most definitely transformed the song into something even more special. Since I learn songs by ear, I usually look up covers for inspiration, then I develop my own version of the song. Your arrangement played a huge part in me learning the song. I learned to play the song listening to your version, but I don’t like to copy people, so I played my own version with my own special touches, taking note with what you’re doing with your own versions. I wanted the song to be “me”, as your own arrangements describe “you”. It definitely opened my eyes up into playing more expressively and putting my own unique touches into songs instead of playing generic versions of them, and I have you to thank for that.
Sitting here grading tonight and listening to your YourTube videos on continuous play. SO RELAXING! Thank you for this gift. It makes my grading almost fun.... I love this arrangement and I'm so proud of your hard work!!!!!!!!
I'm going to be honest in saying I'm not really into Hillsong though I respect people's choices where religion is concerned and I have an eclectic kind of spirituality, but there is for sure some kind of beautiful spirit living right here on earth in you. You are quite remarkable indeed.
Jon! I needed this. Just got furloughed from work today. How beautiful, just made me smile when I heard it yesterday. Listening again tonight. I’d have commented sooner but I was driving. THANK YOU!
very good as always, and this song has a special place in my heart. This song is written by Rolf Løvland from Norway, he is from a little place not far from where i grew up. Met him many times. Wonderful man. I love your rendition, you make it your own in a way, thats what a real artist does. lots of love from Norway.
Really incredible Jon, so anointed, bless you my brother…Don’t know if I can put in a song request..there’s an old song called I’d rather have Jesus (than silver or gold I’d rather be his than have riches untold etc)) have heard it on piano, guitar, ukulele, harp, bluegrass version, any instrument and or vocals of people playing it, it’s just such an awesome, anointed song..if you feel led to would love to hear you play it your way..just love to hear you play full stop..bless you brother Andrew from Australia 🇦🇺
@@jmopiano Do you have sheet music for this arrangement available for purchase? Although it will take me the better part of a lifetime, I would love to learn this arrangement.
I recently discovered you on YT and can’t stop watching you play! You are very talented and play beautifully! I love the skill and complexity in your arrangements. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
You’re a bad man, Mr. Jon!! I just got a Yamaha CVP-605 and currently learning Bless the Broken Road. Look forward to hearing more piano music interpretation from you in the near future 🎹🙏 Bravo 💐
Jon Michael Ogletree is there a way to DM you? Was hoping to share my cover with you of (God Bless the Broken Road). Hoping for any advice you can give me. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Dude - you're awesome. Your blend of music is seamless. How much do you work on your arrangements before recording? Do you just have a general idea of what you'll play but it changes every time?
Thanks David! Once I listen to a song a few times, I can just play it, with my style infused. In the studio, I’m arranging real-time. And yes, every time I play a song, it’s different. That has presented challenges a time or two haha.
I also play "You Raise Me Up" on my piano, it is very beautiful, but I deleted the video because when I released the video, I said that my teacher passed away(which is not true and disrespectful to my teacher).

I’m convinced your the most creative pianist on this platform, amazing…
Thanks so much! That's so kind.
Jon, please never stop making these videos! All of your songs touch my soul! You are such a wonderful pianist! You deserve so much more attention here on TH-cam! 😊

You've got so many textures to the way you play piano. It's hard to find non cheesy versions of balads but this is perfect. You're an amazing talent.

I love playing that one! It's going on the list to record.

Thank you!!
I want to buy the sheet music for this song, where can I buy it?
Thank you! It's not currently available, but I'll forward this to MusicNotes.com to see if they can get it transcribed and uploaded.

@@jmopiano Thank you so much, I have purchased this sheet music now, I am so happy.
Very good!
Thanks Robin!!
what key is this??
It starts off in the key of F, and then it modulates to the key of G
Do you use an app to notate your music as you play it?
Nope. I actually am arranging it real-time. Any sheet music available is actually transcribed after the fact by MusicNotes
🍻💪🏻
Thank you!
I also play "You Raise Me Up" on my piano, it is very beautiful, but I deleted the video because when I released the video, I said that my teacher passed away(which is not true and disrespectful to my teacher).
Thank you so much for checking this out!
Is anyone except him able to play his réarrangement ?
