FINALLY. THANK YOU. I've been looking for Bruce Hornsby and the Range - The Way It Is for YEARS and could never find it because all I knew were the intro notes, no lyrics.
Very nicely done! Thanks for helping me find John Lennon's "Imagine" as well, I was looking through piano covers of 70's - 80's songs to try and find that melody stuck in my head!
@@paulfaganpianist i found your video trying to remmeber a pop song intro but is not in your list. i can only compare that the melody is sam as this > hoofdini th-cam.com/video/5H2ihFEOm5k/w-d-xo.html and melody also like clayderman in this minute> th-cam.com/video/nvw66WFltRw/w-d-xo.html but is used as intro in a pop song i can't remember and comes to me sometimes and cant frozen it in my mind to find it. is like it comes and goes and i am going crazy lol. please help !!! XD
You have so many of my favorite songs; I wasn't expecting to find "Beautiful", "Desperado", "December 1963" "Bad Day".... these are from my childhood. Thank you so much for making these memories come flooding back. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. From one pianist to another, play on, my dude! ❤
Dear Sir Paul Fagan! This awsome compilation is a masterpiece of demonstration how versatile the piano as an instrument is in all genre! Absolute brilliant
Holy crap thank you! The Forrest Gump theme has been stuck in my head in a nostalgic, but creepy way last night and I didn't know where the song is from and it was super creepy and I couldn't sleep, so I searched for this and now that I know the context I feel a lot better xD, kinda stupid but still thanks :D.
Awesome! Great work man! Impressive how you could play so good for so long time and how you could remember everything. I am also a pianist so I know how hard it is.
Thanks very much. Yes there was a bit of prep involved. It's tense by the end when recording as you cannot make a mistake or it's start over so it's hard to keep relaxed.
Clocks by Coldplay!!! That's what that song is. Never knew the song title or artist! Still can't find the other (similar) one I'm looking for, but that's one down, so thank you!
awesome vid. i appreciate the picks you went with. now, somehow the format of [artist] on top of [song title] got flipped after The Way It Is and back again after I Want You Back and back again after December 1963 and then immediately back after Hold The Line but it stuck to it after that. other than that one thing, love it !
Thanks for your comment. From my point of view, it's not that hard to get there... Some grades, some theory and a lot of enjoying it helps. Best of luck with your progress 👍
King of Pain (The Police). Not solo piano, but mostly. A lot of the suggestions in the comments are keyboard parts (synths) but not acoustic piano. How to save a life (The Fray) was the first one that jumped to my mind when I saw the topic.
@@paulfaganpianist it’ll be good craic I want loads of Metallica and the misses isn’t happy 😂😂😂 she’ll be in touch soon with a few requests just remember mine 😂
Meatloaf's "I'd Do Anything For Love", Evanescence's "Bring me to Life", Evanescence's "My Immortal", Christina Aguilera's "Hurt", One Republic's "Apologize", Maroon 5's "This Love", Halloween (movie) theme, Linkin Park's "What I've Done", Heart's "Alone", Van Halen's"Jump", Cheer's (TV show) intro, Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets".
Thank you so much. You helped me to find the song that I have been searching for mounths. The name of the song is A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. Great job by the way 👌
this is lovely , but i hope that the one im looking for is also here if you don't mind do you know the one that is similar to VACIO intro? that was im looking for hope you see this thank you ,
Love the mixture of the songs ! Very well done!❤️ I love watching you play and most of all I love to listen to it. You think you could play “Sailing “ by Christopher Cross ? I don’t know if this song is piano material. If not I truly understand. Thank you anyways :))
Only recognized 18 (and can play myself at least one: 'Listen to your heart') As I stay as far as possible from hip hop I can forgive myself not knowing some Eminem or DR.Dre ju... I mean, stuff but you had also picked quite seldom heard movie tunes!? Ok, 'American beauty' and 'Forrest Gump' definitely are famous movies but themes from those movies not really. Of the famous intros that I have myself played a lot back in the day i found 'Alone' by Heart very amusing to play. It's almost just black keys but wouldn't call it complicated - just fun!
Really impressive,I enjoyed it very much though Imagine is simpler than you made it sound and Hold the line was slightly fast ,but as I wrote really impressive.
I am looking for the piano opening that is exactly the same as Joni Mitchell's (live) piano opening for "Woodstock." It's a famous classic rock song of the 1970s, and sadly not included here. :-(

I was afriad this would only be pop intros, but you put in a whole lot of classic rock as well! Great job man!!
Thank you Tori. Glad you enjoyed
Where is the bohemian rhapsody??
@@salcatanzano8630 I was wondering the same lol
The recording studio version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel
@@salcatanzano8630
"Don't stop believing" by Journey, the only context I had for searching was "piano intro 80s" lol, thanks for the vid.
Very welcome 😁
Still Dre and lose yourself and I want you back my childhood just came rushing back 😂😂😂 very good Paul
Glad you enjoyed it.
OMG, you just helped me to find a song that I was searching for months
thank youu D;
Great! Which one?
@@paulfaganpianist coldplay - clocks
@@pa3io843 Brilliant. Glad you found it 👌
Me too ! But not the same song ! Bruce Hornsby, the way it is . Thank you Paul Fagan
I was looking for „Still dre - Dr. Dre“ for soo long. Ty
I came here looking for "A Thousand Miles" while I didn't know anything except the opening melody. This helped tremendously. Thank you!
You're very welcome. Glad it helped
Same! 😂
same for me but hall of fame. the feeling of finding THAT SONG. Amazing lol
Abba - The winner takes it all. One of the best piano intros of all time for a pop song. You don't have to be an Abba fan to appreciate the song.
ABBAs intro to "GImme, gimme, gimme" gave Madonna a no1 hit single in 41 countries.
Why doesn't this have more views?! Loved this thank you!
Thank you very much
Why am I.... here? I have school
In 4 hours and I haven’t done any of the homework
Music will rewire your thinking. ☀️😇☀️
So true
That's an interesting thought...

0:40 2Pac Sample for his song Changes. Rest in Piece Tupac Shakur ❤️

Clocks is so recognizable that if you don't recognize it, then, you must be lying

I recognize that song any time of the day.
You tied each song together beautifully!
Thanks for your comment.

The Fray 🥰
This video is inspiring lol, it just makes me go like: "Forget about learning entire songs, just draw a crowd with the intro"
I came here trying to find still d.r.e. And ended up loving the video 😂
Glad you did! Nice to get a surprise 🙂
Gotta hit me in the feels with them Avicii songs, huh? Great job man.
Thank you. Yeah Avicii was great
Scouring the internet to find this one piano intro I loved and after months I had found it! Walking in Memphis! Thank you so much!
Glad you found it!
Such a great song!!
Saudações do Brazil, sucesso !
Muito obrigado
These songs are my childhood🥰😎
I was still looking for still Dre after a month. Thank you. Also it’s cool u put don’t stop believing in here
Your welcome. Thanks for your comment
Love this so much!
Hallelujah would be another one!
Glad you did. Yes, it's a beautiful song that I'd consider second time around.
Im here for Coldplay, I knew somewhere there was the word clocks. I have been looking for a long time. Thank you
Glad you found it 👍
Yeah Clocks is the most recognizable to me, it's just, I heard it a lot.
Short but simple but instantly recognisable... Spice Girls' Wannabe.
Love that dirty lower octave piano riff!
Thanks for your suggestion
Holy crap thank you! The Forrest Gump theme has been stuck in my head in a nostalgic, but creepy way last night and I didn't know where the song is from and it was super creepy and I couldn't sleep, so I searched for this and now that I know the context I feel a lot better xD, kinda stupid but still thanks :D.

This is so amazing you are so talented and I hope I can get back into piano one day! This needs more views!
Thank you very much. Good luck getting back to it!
On still DRE, the second chord actually plays three times first one 8 times second one 3 times and third one 5 times. Great vid btw
Thanks Jack. Yes that is correct. I mislearned that riff at the time but I decided to live with the mistake when I realised 🙂
0:22 that's the song I've heard SO MANY FRICKING TIMES and I never knew the name of it until now. Thanks.
Very welcome
Nice job with Landed at the end!
Thanks a lot. Great tune

verry nice demonstation , I got to restart to play *
thank you, good job, and I agree with others, your selection helped me find a song I could only remember the intro to but no name!
Great stuff! Which song?
You re so good👍🔥🎹

Thank you. I'll look forward to hearing you play your keyboard!

Kind regards, Jonathan
Thank you very much Jonathan. Looking forward to it.
@@paulfaganpianist it’ll be good craic I want loads of Metallica and the misses isn’t happy 😂😂😂 she’ll be in touch soon with a few requests just remember mine 😂
David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over" & Coldplay's "Clocks", sounds a little similar.

Clocks 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Really nice video! Congratulations!
Thanks very much!
You should make one about piano solos too (if so please include the piano part of Carry On Wayward Son)
Great suggestion. Thanks
Amazing!!!!
Thanks!

Great work 👍👍
Thank you!
Man i think you should make a full version on piano man
Thanks for the suggestion
Thank you so much. You helped me to find the song that I have been searching for mounths. The name of the song is A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. Great job by the way 👌
Glad you found the song. Thanks for the comment 👍

Welcome 🙂
I was trying to find The way it is for so fucking long and here I found it.
Glad you found it. What a great tune
Welcome to the Black Parade. Also, Brick by Benfolds Five
Thanks for your suggestions.
What about Ocean Breeze by Pablo Cruise?
Thanks for your suggestion
Thanks Paul. Fantastic. Which Yamaha are you playing?
Thanks for the comment. I'm playing my Yamaha P255 in that video. I've since moved onto using it with Garritan CFX on later videos.
Love the mixture of the songs ! Very well done!❤️
I love watching you play and most of all I love to listen to it. You think you could play “Sailing “ by Christopher Cross ? I don’t know if this song is piano material. If not I truly understand. Thank you anyways :))
I think " Bohemian Rhapsody" should also be a part of this medley
If you do that particular song on YT, Queen's "people" send a sniper round!

You should have put a list in description..

So rude

Hi - is the sheet music for this available for purchase please?
No, sorry it isn't...

Really impressive,I enjoyed it very much though Imagine is simpler than you made it sound and Hold the line was slightly fast ,but as I wrote really impressive.
Thanks for your comment and feedback
Feel like you need more attention
Thanks! I'll take what comes 😁👍
i only recognised 6
have you tried year of the cat, Al Steward
No. I'll check that one out. Thanks for the suggestion.
I am looking for the piano opening that is exactly the same as Joni Mitchell's (live) piano opening for "Woodstock." It's a famous classic rock song of the 1970s, and sadly not included here. :-(
Sorry to disappoint.
Spent the whole video waiting for welcome to the black parade and now heartbroken
Omg, that's what I came here for! Thank you!
Sorry guys 😅
@@paulfaganpianist noo it’s still an amazing video!

Can you play Suede - Beautiful Ones?
Great song. I'll put it on the maybe list (time permitting ☺️)
@@paulfaganpianist I will appreciate you if you fulfill my request. There is no many people making piano cover for this great song in youtube.
What song is in the background?
.....MAKIN MY WAY DOWNTOWN!
i thought there would be the legendary welcome to the black parade c note akdkdkskdkwk but great vid anyways!!
Thanks for your suggestion
Come sail away?
Good suggestion. I have a many non included songs suggested in these comments so if I ever get round to part two, I'll bring that in!
