My son Sasha never took a piano lesson but he taught himself to play this song by painstakingly following this video. Every day I'd hear him progress a little bit until finally he had learned the entire song. He had a wonderfully soft touch and would sing his heart out on the lyrics. I never tired of listening to him. Sadly, he died two years ago and we had never made a recording of him singing and playing this song. But whenever I hear this song, I am flooded with these memories.
I remember when you guys posted this 4 years ago! This was one of the first tunes I learned on piano! I could barely play this beginning part 😂 It was so hard back then. Thank you guys for doing what you do! 👌😭 Freakin Love you guys!
I made a lofi version of this song on my channel...I learned this version of the accompaniment from all the parts of the HD Piano lessons. Such a beautiful song. Thank you Dan, for liberating my inner Ben Folds...
@@hypegt6885 - Just watched the movie and I heard this song in it. I've been wanting to know what this song was called for years. I freaked out when I heard it again!
Can you please learn how to play "Asleep" by The Smiths!? I love your channel; I've learned how to play "How to Save a Life" and "Mad World" from your videos. Keep up the good work!
Hey your vids are amazing learned how to play some of the songs I play today from you. Can you play rude by magic because that is my favorite song and I really need to know how to play it
I really love your videos! I never played piano before, but you can learn it perfectly with them! Thank you! Could you do 'Kayleigh' by Marillion & 'Motorcycle Drive By' by Third Eye Blind please :)

I have request Could one of you do a tutorial to the song Imagine by Elton john? It would be much appreciated if you could I love your channels videos! Keep them coming!
Can you please make a video teaching us how to play How Long Will I Love You by: Ellie Goulding and one on Listen by: Beyonce and another on Not Like the Movies by: Katy Perry AND another on The Fault in our Stars song by: Troye Sivan and one on Clown by: Emeli Sande and Skinny Love (Cover) by: Birdy... Thanks(:
thx for my favorite song. I just need maybe 4 repeats of each cord to get the hang of it otherwise I have to stop, go back many more times rather than play along. If you repeated each cord 4 times bf moving to the next cord I would learn faster.
Sorry you’re not happy with our pacing- we’re constantly searching for the perfect speed to suit as many people as possible.

Ugggggggg I love the songs that you do and all but ummmmm before you play any new songs could finish the other parts of songs that you've done in the past....#beenwaiting...lol
Thanks for the feedback! Sorry you’re not happy with our pacing- we’re constantly searching for the perfect speed to suit as many learners as possible. The video player at HDpiano.com lets you slow down playback-from mobile AND desktop-for all videos. We also built a custom looping tool that allows the viewer to focus on those extra challenging spots. If you're not interested in trying our site, you can use the speed controls on TH-cam desktop to slow down playback.
I love all of what you're saying and doing, but do you have a channel without "guitar hero" on top of what you're playing? I'm old and find it more distracting than helpful.
You know what would make it really easy ? Just play it and let the lines show us what to hit . You don't have to say a word just play the whole song and show the bars coming down . Why won't you do that ? Is it because you want money ?

Only took me half an hour to get the first 6 notes. You must have giant hands or a smaller keyboard than I do. Lol
It's a regular size keyboard :)
@@HDpiano I have what I consider to be a normal sized piano and just can’t reach that left hand position. Going to have to figure something out.
Ugggggggg I love the songs that you do and all but ummmmm before you play any new songs could finish the other parts of songs that you've done in the past....#beenwaiting...lol
