    What impresses me even more is that Elton John just sat down at a piano and wrote this from nothing. The creative skills of musicians always seems miraculous to me.

    • @DefinitelyAPotato
      @DefinitelyAPotato ปีที่แล้ว +2

      He didn't do that at all. Quite famously Elton John doesn't write the songs- neither the music nor lyrics for this song were written by Elton John at all.

    • @chrislogan2557
      @chrislogan2557 ปีที่แล้ว

      So they just gave him a songwriting credit for nothing did they? Try again.

      Elton did the music. He famously had a writer for all the lyrics.

      @@DefinitelyAPotato you are very mistaken. Elton John wrote the music and Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics.

    • @motorradtyp
      @motorradtyp 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As per the songwriting credits for this song, Elton John and Davey Johnstone composed the music and Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics.
      Presumably the piano part was all Elton.
      ----- BUT -----
      The piano part that is being played here by Joel is not what Elton John plays.
      Joel has arranged this piece to follow the vocals and added his own rhythm bits which are absolutely flavourful and is more complex than the original.
      If you were to listen to just the piano part that Elton John plays on the track, a lot of it would not even be recognisable without the vocals.

    My own piano playing never went much past the difficulty level of Christmas songs, so I won't blab about things I don't know. But I had a teacher in elementary school in the 1980's and she was a high level musical conservatory pianist, she loved Elton's music. She told us about the importance of adding "feeling" to the notes. Mr Bowerman you add feeling to the notes as good as the best players I've heard in my lifetime, my teacher would highly approve of this! Btw, she played her own version of "O Canada" every morning in the style of Elton John: The soft parts would be delicate, gentle and intricate. The big parts would have bombastic flair, she added extra momentum with multiple low chord changes during the last half of the song... But softened it again near the end with the final delicate right hand high notes to finish the song. Cheers and keep up the good work my friend! People need to know this playing style is still alive with a new generation of young skilled piano players, you're an excellent representative!

    Awesome playing mate, and I'm sure if Sir Elton himself was to see this video, I bet he would love it too.
    Words can not justify how good this is.
    Can you do "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" Please..?

    Don't wish it away
    Don't look at it like it's forever
    Between you and me I can honestly say
    That things will only get better
    And while I'm away
    Dust out the demons inside
    And it won't be long before you and me run
    To the place in our hearts where we hide
    And I guess that's why they call it the blues
    Time on my hands should be time spent with you
    Laughing like children, living like lovers
    Rolling like thunder under the covers
    And I guess that's why they call it the blues
    Just stare into space
    Picture my face in your hands
    Live for each second without hesitation
    And never forget I'm your man, Mary Mary
    Wait on me girl
    Cry in the night if it helps
    But more than ever I simply love you
    More than I love life itself
    And I guess that's why they call it the blues
    Time on my hands should be time spent with you
    Laughing like children, living like lovers
    Rolling like thunder under the covers
    And I guess that's why they call it the blues
    Wait on me boy (Wait on me girl)
    I Want You To Cry in the night if it helps (yeah)
    But more than ever I simply love you
    More than I love life itself

    Time on my hands (time on my hands) should be time spent with you
