Thank you so much for this ...due an illness my I'm becoming deaf (I'm just 48 years old), hearing this was a blessing....piano tones doesn't hurt me, so when I found the songs that I love on piano, I'm on heaven....GOD bless
I hope things are still alright for you, and the illness is not causing hardship ❤️❤️ thanks so much for the kind words and I hope you are doing well ❤️🎶
The ability of humans to create music like this always gives me hope of a creator beyond my comprehension that bestows us with creativity to make life sound better - and this truly does man!!
By far the best cover I've seen so far of this song. You put a lot of feeling and phrasing into your playing and you have a great sense for rythm, as in all the notes are perfectly in sync with the drum track yet feel floaty (if that makes any sense). You're very talented, keep it up!
I found this song about a year ago and listen to it almost daily, I usually start my morning off with it. I've never in my life heard a better cover to this ! You did Hornsby well:) The entire song is beautiful, but 248 and on is pure magic. Amazing work
Just bought a cheapo keyboard to start practising on. The way you play this so naturally by dividing the left and right hand blows my mind! You smashed it dude!🖒🏽
Bro, I'm jealous of you. But in a good way. Much love for your talent. This song is the reason I want to get back on my keyboard. Whenever I hear it, I feel the urge to play it. Much love and respect
Greetings from England. I watch / Listen to this every other week. You did the song justice and played it very well. You played it in such a way that makes me feel everything’s gonna be alright. Thanks!!!!
I think i would like to see you play WITH Bruce. I am an enormous fan of his playing and yours is the only cover I’ve heard to live up to his sound. I gotta hear it again. Thanks man. Good luck in the future.
Ah thanks so much Darrell, really glad you like it and that's super high praise :) If I ever got the chance to play with him I think I'd die of joy :P Cheers pal, you too 😄
I love this cover/arrangement. Wish I could play the piano. I wonder if it's too late to begin with 47 years (only for fun, not professional). My neurologist told me to learn to play an instrument like guitar or piano. I've got multiple scleroses and he thinks it's a good everyday practice for my fingers.
Hey Mike! Thanks for the kind words :) I definitely think it's never too late to start learning, especially for fun! Go about it with no pressure, watch a few youtube videos and trust your ears :) all it is is organised noise that follows a few guidelines, and making any noise is a start in the right direction ☺☺☺ if you give it a go, I hope you enjoy it :))
Just stumbled on this after watching Bruce in some concert footage. You know, this was my favorite album back in '86/'86. Listening to Bruce play it live is good but the studio phrasing just gets me more. You, my friend, hit it perfectly and give it the same life as the original. Very nice.
Thanks so much Brian, really means a lot and super glad you like it!!! I love the tune, and as much as I love listening to the live versions, there's something about the original recording that sits so well with me, so I'm glad to have captured some of that essence! 😄Cheers!
Thanks so much Gareth! And absolutely do, it's such a cathartic thing to do. Pick up something with a decent action like a roland fp30 (I'm not actually affiliated in any way aha) and just play. Don't worry about doing it properly, the more you play the better. Thanks again pal 😄 PLAAAAYYY 😄😄
By far one of the best covers out there, especially with that kinda bluesy run in the chorus, which for the life of me can't seem to figure out and never seems to sound right when I try to play it. Excellent performance, keep up the good work!
@@HenryNewbury Only just the entire song! Jokes aside, mainly just the bit at 0:50. I'd also be interested to know what the left hand is doing there in that whole section before with the "main theme" of the song.
I want to take away points for fading the video out before the song ended... I really do. But I can't. It was just too well done. You sir, have an amazing talent.
I just finished writing my 3000 word english lit essay and just as i was writing the last few sentences this came on in my study playlist, i was typing like YESSS VICTORY AND HAPPINESS I AM RID OF THIS WORK
I’m back again. I can’t stop listening Henry, you put so much emotion into your version. I’m going through a rough patch but this single piece of music has been helping me get through it. Thank you so much.
Henry Newbury Thank you Henry, your music genuinely helped me! I’m in a much better place currently. I wish you every success with your music career, please never stop, you have the power to raise a smile and heal our souls!
Wow! I am just learning to play this song. It is one of my favorite songs of all time! I have almost mastered the intro! But when I see this, I see I have a looong way to go!
Excellent, loving how you're grace-noting the shi... out of this bad boy, awesome, You got this down, nicely done. I think Hornsby would say not bad kid ;-)
Your Technique is flawless and absolutely perfect. May I kindly ask? Did you start taking piano lessons at a very young age ? It sure sounds like you started when you were a very young child. Perfect 10
Thanks Andrew! I very much appreciate the kind words :) there is a huge amount I cannot do, but I am pleased with how it is going so far :) I didn't really take lessons, my dad showed me how to play a song with both hands and I taught myself with trial and error for what sounded right or wrong and copying pianists I liked from videos on TH-cam :p there is a lot you can learn on your own :)) take care! ☺️
@@HenryNewbury your absolutely welcome it’s my pleasure. That’s amazing friend you play so well without lessons and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. You are doing well the way you learned and keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing your talent on TH-cam 🙏🏻✨
really enjoyed this on a rare cool evening. this made me pause and immerse myself for awhile. this is one of those videos you feel really fortunate to have stumbled across. awesome job!
Congratulations, my man . I`m singer and pianist too, and this is one of the best covers I`ve ever heard about Bruce. Of course you put in there your own " touch " , that is called trademark. Congrats !!!
Henry , I was going to type a comment but then I stopped, I realised everyone else had already said what I was going to say :-D so I'll just add : Beautiful, absolutely beautiful
Dang bro. That’s really good. I just started playing and now have a little more appreciation for how much time and effort you must have put in. Respect.
+Jeffrey Stein Thank you Jeffrey!!! :D Really pleased you like it! And it's a drum machine with a rhythm I programmed, a bass guitar and keys and that's all :)
Astounding. Just listening and without seeing the video, I would have wagered that this was Bruce Hornsby himself. The arpeggiated staccato style of Bruce Hornsby -- in addition to the feel of uneven time between the right and left hands -- make this a very complex song to play. Especially playing it exactly like Bruce. Amazing talent. I hate that I just now ran across this jewel.
Eyy, I've already found you because of Tom Odell cover, and I have to say you, i'm pretty schocked, damm man, you're the piano master, and what can I say about your voice... wow, Only ten minutes ago i was watching your Another Love cover and now I'm subscribe on your account because i'm truly impressed! Good done and my best congratulation! Hope your voice is good soon! :-)
Henry I have watched this video more than I've watched any other TH-cam video. Your talent is amazing! Would you happen to have a MIDI file of your intro? That's very special.
Thanks so much John! I really appreciate the kind words and am super grateful you've watched it a few times! :P I don't actually at the moment, but I can deffo make one. Leave it with me! Thanks!
Henry Newbury no offence it’s a modern take on Bruce’s version I can bare this, but it should definitely have been exactly the same, but you made this your own so for that I have to say fucking amazing and there’s loads of people who like your version toooo🎉I just prefer the original key strokes🤤 But well done anywayyy🎉👌🏻
Wow, you are a fantastic pianist! The position of your hands and fingers are perfect and they are so relaxed. And I'm so impressed that you can take your hands away from the keys, then put them back on the keys and play perfectly. I have been practicing this song - it is a great song. Thanks, Peter Tavlin
Absolutely brilliant playing, especially impressed with your timing and rhythm, nearly flawless. I listen to music on youtube quite a bit and this probably the first time I have ever written a comment. The original song itself is powerful, but honestly I'd rather listen to you play in than Bruce H. Would you consider doing a cover (piano and vocals) of Long December by Counting Crows at some point?
ekoostikmartin Thanks dude, really appreciate the comments :D and omg yes!!! That's been a song I've played on and off for years, amazing tune, will do at some point, so please stay tined!!!! :D
Wonderful! Sounds great! thank you very much..Just quietly though this is not how Bruce played it. (A lot of important fill in notes missing).But you are still amazing :)
Congrats Henry! Your arrangement and version is absolutely brilliant. Your feel, rhythm and timing is incredible. Best I've heard. You are in that pocket so purely, but yet so relaxed and dynamic. You make it look easy. I come back to this video again and again, year after year. No joke, I'm probably at least 1,000 of these views. I know I've already submitted a comment, but hearing it again today inspired me to write another one. Keep it up man! Love it.
Ah thanks so much my friend, that really means a lot - very glad you enjoy it, and super stoked to hear you come back to it still! :D All the best, and stay tuned! Thanks!!!
Thanks so much!!! There should be a wee link in the description :) I'm doing another version which should be up soon, and it'll have a better midi file :) I can do a tutorial too!
That is awesome! I play by ear as well but stopped over a decade ago. Used to play Billy Joel music by ear. Just purchased a baby grand a year ago to try and get back into playing for relaxation. Looking forward to your tutorial. Amazing you figured this out by ear.
Ah cool :)) Yeah I think it's such a good and underrated way to learn! And coool!!! That sounds awesome :) I'll try and make one soonish, and thanks man, it took a while I guess but I'm pleased with the result! :P Enjoy your piano!
I love the way you fling your digits with abandon....and attitude. Been playing drums since this song came out, still have the 45.. Started on piano a few months ago. I can fling on drums, working on the piano part.
Hey Henry. Just discovered this tonight. This is really fantastic! Well done. I don't suppose you ever got round to uploading that midi file? I'd love to learn what you have put together here 👍
+Ciaran O'Floinn Omg I'm so sorry I haven't, literally been busy with stuff.. I know I say it a lot, but hopefully this week I will!!! Sorry!!! And thanks for the kind words Ciaran :D
+Henry Newbury Thanks Henry. I am getting a new baby grand next week and I definitely want your version of this song to be the very first song I learn on it! You rock dude! I'll keep an eye out for the midi link

I don't know why piano appeals so much to people that are going deaf but I know your pain. Best of luck with your ailment.
How is thou doing now?

Amen brother happy new year from Sheffield, UK! ❤❤❤
The most beautiful 3 and half minutes of music I've ever heard in my life sir. You've just made a grown man cry. Thank you.
The ability of humans to create music like this always gives me hope of a creator beyond my comprehension that bestows us with creativity to make life sound better - and this truly does man!!
By far the best cover I've seen so far of this song. You put a lot of feeling and phrasing into your playing and you have a great sense for rythm, as in all the notes are perfectly in sync with the drum track yet feel floaty (if that makes any sense). You're very talented, keep it up!
+HamsterWheelGaming Thanks so much :D That really means a lot!!! :D
Yeah I keep coming back here. This is one of my happy places after Bamboo the skateboarding dog.
❤️I've just found this comment, and I've just found Bamboo the skateboarding dog, amaaazing 😂❤️
Put Bamboo the Skateboarding Dog on mute and play this ^. Best of both worlds.
How did you create the rhythm portion especially that one little Wawa during the intro wonderful arrangement good job
I still come back and watch this every now and again 😀👌
same, it's my feel good video
me pasa igual jajaja
me too...
Man, you've been born to play the piano, I truly envy you !
Thanks so much Allbbrz!!! :D
This is the greatest piano cover of all time🙏
Perfect timing, perfect feeling, relaxed and cool, pristine performing, the way you do it!
Thanks pal! 😄😄
I found this song about a year ago and listen to it almost daily, I usually start my morning off with it. I've never in my life heard a better cover to this ! You did Hornsby well:) The entire song is beautiful, but 248 and on is pure magic. Amazing work
I saw Bruce Hornsby in concert a few years ago, front row -- and your arrangement is just as good as his was! Be proud of yourself!
Mike Brophy thank you so much Mike!!! I must admit I stole this from one of his, but would love to upload an arrangement of my own :)))
Mike Brophy and that must have been so cool!!!!!
Henry, if you're taking requests, would love to see you do his "Song C." =)
I shall add it to my list!!!!! :D Thanks again Mike :D
You make it look so smooth and effortless. I’d love to be able to play like this.
dude, great job! this version makes me so happy. i'll never get sick of this
Thanks kindly Jeffrey!!! :D
I can spot a true musician when I see one. Brilliant.
Awww thanks so much Andy, means a lot :D
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO PLAY LIKE THIS OMG
soul.
Richk lowell fax
@Richard from lowell, Bruce Hornsby & The Range. He has A LOT of great songs. That's just one of them.
That’s just the way it is I suppose.
Why can't I stop watching this? This is my favorite song by my favorite artist of all time. Such a great cover!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much Austin!!! :D Means a lot!!
It's a God given gift. Just like Hornsby, they could have done it too. Much respect though.
One of the first versions of the song that touched the heart of the song. This is really good cover.
Ah thanks so much Tesh!!! I really appreciate you saying ☺️☺️
@@HenryNewbury Amazing job on one of the most iconic riffs in music history
IMO the middle of this song has one of the sexiest piano solos ever, and you nailed it my friend.
+Static Announcement They're so good I know!!! Thanks bud, really appreciate it!!!! :D
Listened to this so many times, unbelievable talent!
Thank you so much 😁😁😁
That was fantastic! I love how you put your own style on it too, one of the most enjoyable piano covers I've heard in a while, keep it up
+jawztv Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words!!! :D
You don’t just play the music you feel it, that makes all the difference. Amazing
I've listened to this so many times, such a great cover
Ah thanks so much Samuel! 😄
Check out terrance shider's cover too!!
Easily one of the best instrumental covers of a song on YT. AWESOME!
Just bought a cheapo keyboard to start practising on. The way you play this so naturally by dividing the left and right hand blows my mind! You smashed it dude!🖒🏽
Awww thanks so much!!! That really means a lot, and all the best with your practicing!!! :D

I just don't get tired of hearing this guy playing this awesome song.

Ah thanks again Eddie! That means a lot!! And yeah get back into it!!! You'll love it :D All the best!
Simply brilliant my man...I’m speechless. I’m a guitar player and I think I just found my new passion. Don’t ever stop playing...
By far the best piano cover of this song on youtube. Great job man!
Thanks so much Matthew :)))
Greetings from England. I watch / Listen to this every other week. You did the song justice and played it very well. You played it in such a way that makes me feel everything’s gonna be alright. Thanks!!!!

Thank you Sean, glad you like it! :)
I love this cover/arrangement. Wish I could play the piano. I wonder if it's too late to begin with 47 years (only for fun, not professional).

You make it look easy. I come back to this video again and again, year after year. No joke, I'm probably at least 1,000 of these views. I know I've already submitted a comment, but hearing it again today inspired me to write another one. Keep it up man! Love it.
Ah thanks so much my friend, that really means a lot - very glad you enjoy it, and super stoked to hear you come back to it still! :D All the best, and stay tuned! Thanks!!!
Still love listening to this. You have sheet music for this? Should do a tutorial.
Thanks so much!!! There should be a wee link in the description :) I'm doing another version which should be up soon, and it'll have a better midi file :) I can do a tutorial too!
That is awesome! I play by ear as well but stopped over a decade ago. Used to play Billy Joel music by ear.
Just purchased a baby grand a year ago to try and get back into playing for relaxation. Looking forward to your tutorial. Amazing you figured this out by ear.
Ah cool :)) Yeah I think it's such a good and underrated way to learn! And coool!!! That sounds awesome :) I'll try and make one soonish, and thanks man, it took a while I guess but I'm pleased with the result! :P Enjoy your piano!
Please do a tutorial!!!
Awesome - love this song and am learning it at the moment - tutorial would be excellent. 👍
I love the way you fling your digits with abandon....and attitude.
Been playing drums since this song came out, still have the 45.. Started on piano a few months ago.
I can fling on drums, working on the piano part.
Drums might be the funnest instrument 😛 thanks for the kind words, and happy piano flinging 😛❤️🎹
holy shit that gave me the feels
Aww thanks Barrie!!! :D
definitely a great job Henry...effortless looking on your part!
Thank you Adam!!! There were many, many takes though ahaha
Hey Henry. Just discovered this tonight. This is really fantastic! Well done. I don't suppose you ever got round to uploading that midi file? I'd love to learn what you have put together here 👍
+Ciaran O'Floinn Omg I'm so sorry I haven't, literally been busy with stuff.. I know I say it a lot, but hopefully this week I will!!! Sorry!!! And thanks for the kind words Ciaran :D
+Henry Newbury Thanks Henry. I am getting a new baby grand next week and I definitely want your version of this song to be the very first song I learn on it! You rock dude! I'll keep an eye out for the midi link
Any updates? I'd love to have your interpretation of this song!
