I first heard this tune in a very busy Chinatown near Covent Garden London, 2 guys...I think called the bejing brothers....just the 2 of them started playing this and it was like a movie...the entire place just went silent around me...never heard anything like it....and then as it ended also like a movie the sound of life and the people just came back and everybody went on again as normal....never forgot that moment or this tune.
somehow I feel this music is even better played by piano than singing. so beautiful and touching. I come here now very often just to listen to it. thank you so much for it.
Dear Paul, I can't believe it that you play The moon represents my heart!!! I'm from Taiwan, live in NRW. One of the most famous song of Teresa Teng(borned in Taiwan). I sing the song while watching your performances. I think there's sand in my eyes.😭😭😭 Thank you so much for such wonderful interpretation. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh that's so wonderful!! I wish I could hear you singing along! I didn't realise Teresa Teng was born in Taiwan - she really had SUCH a lovely voice!! You're in Germany too? Well.. Viele Grüße aus Berlin! Thank you for listening and for your beautiful response! ❤️
@@shellyshen3519 oh wow THANK YOU for the coffees!! I actually really need one right now! That is super kind of you, thank you! Maybe I actually WILL go and buy one from the nice cafe on my street where they roast their own beans! Thanks for supporting my work!
Gonna be honest. You are one of the best piano players I've heard. You have a way of making every song so beautiful and peaceful that I haven't seen anyone else do before and this song just proves this point even more. Keep up the good work. And for a song request, how about "life with you" by the proclaimers.
I got so nervous when I read "Gonna be honest" ... haha ... I was expecting the worst :-) - but thank you very much for your kind words - really! I love the proclaimers - have you seen my Wedding Version of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)? ... or as I liked to call it .. "I would walk 500 aisles" ... Seriously though - thank you for what you wrote ... th-cam.com/video/kjPjUfpg9_Y/w-d-xo.html
@@PaulHankinsonMusic yeah, that one is honestly one of my favorite arrangments you've made and really makes me think of the future with my girlfriend who lives 1000 miles away so it really hits home for me.
it really is a lovely song, isn't it? I love it! Such rich, warm harmonies - and somehow... quite magical - Glad you liked listening - thank you Lluís! ❤️
I didn't know this song at all but I really love it. It's really beautiful. That's what one of the the things I love about your channel : I discover new songs. Thank you for this. Music has always been my medicine and your music especially will be part of my playlist from now on.
Thanks so much Vanessa! Music has always been my medicine and therapy too - even though it’s also my work and is the reason I probably *need* therapy sometimes 😁 - I’m honoured to be part of your playlist! ❤️🎹
I was moved to tears while I listened to this. Every note you played got me very emotional in a sentimental way. So much romance and love were expressed through your playing. This happens to be one of my all time favorite Mandarin Chinese song and I'm really so delighted to find out that you made a piano cover of this song. I love this song because of its touching and romantic lyrics. By the way, the reharmonization at the end was really cool. Thanks, Paul. You have no idea how much I really love your improvised rendition of this.
Oh Ron I’m so touched by your amazing response - thank you my friend - I’m really so glad you connected with this one! We should write more often - just get so busy! This week is crazy - but I hope you are inspired and I wish you so well … thanks again for your kindness! ❤️🌝❤️
Gorgeous improvisation of this beloved song! 🥰🥰🥰 It’s probably Teresa’s most famous song and covered by many artists over the years. It can be heard everywhere (tv, movie, films, radio, at yum cha…) in the Chinese community. And it goes without saying I’d love to buy the transcription of this arrangement when it’s ready.
Beautifully played by you❤! One of my favourite songs from Theresa Teng. But this is my first time to hear it played on a piano. Love it!😊 Thanks so much for sharing!😊
🌕 Thank you for listening everybody! If you wish to leave me a tip please use: ☕️BUY ME A COFFEE -▸ www.buymeacoffee.com/PaulHankinson ... Thanks so much guys! Can we get to 100K SUBSCRIBERS this year? I loved playing this beautiful Chinese love song today!! ❤️
Thank you so much Paul for fulfilling my request! It is so so beautiful. Would it be ok for me to use it at my wedding later this year? ... I would love to walk down the aisle to this song 💕. Growing up in Australia (hello from a fellow Australian) I wanted to take the opportunity to use a song that was representative of my chinese heritage despite being in a predominantly English speaking environment 🙂. I just listen to it with my fiance and it was such a nice way to end the night. Hope you have a lovely day and thank you again.
Oh Noelle I'm so glad you like it! And of course I'd be honoured if you walk down the ailse to this! That's so wonderful you're getting married - congrats!! Wish I could be there to play you down the aisle! Missing home for sure ... but these are crazy times, hey? When is your wedding? Hopefully you'll be able to have a big party with all your nearest and dearest :-) - well good night you two lovebirds! Sleep well! Dream of the moon! haha!
@@PaulHankinsonMusic Thank you so much Paul - that's really kind of you! We cannot wait. Wedding is on 6 November this year! Fingers crossed no plan changes - as it really has been a crazy couple years. Must be tough not being able to come home as well - hope all is well in Berlin. P.s. I may have already played your arrangement for this song on repeat for the last half hour 😀💕
Hi Paul, just as others said, you really have the magic to make every so beautiful, sweet, romantic, warm, peaceful and more (I can go on and on 😂). I listen to your Lover and Daylight covers the most, like, all the time. 🤣Feel like in another place when I listen to them. ❤ Very happy to see you covering a Chinese song. Beautifully done!!! "The Moon Represents My Heart" is such a classic.
Hi, Paul! This is the first time I've heard this song. The title caught my attention because I am a moon lover. I am a total crazy about her. I must say, your rendition is exquisite!!! I haven't heard the original song but I know this one's sooooooo good. Thank you so much for this! (To my sun, i hope one day you'll see this one. I love you. Till the next eclipse 💙)
Oh thanks! Love the moon too! You might also like this old Italian song … la Luna si veste d’Argento I think it is called - very beautiful … I love that you found your sun … enjoy the next lips eclipse ❤️☀️🌝
After my message to you, I’ll go to check out the original by Teresa Teng. I have, as far as I know, never heard of her. Nevertheless this is really a wonderful piece of music and your performance is beautiful.
The late Teresa Teng is well known to Chinese people. I would conservatively say about 1.5 billion Chinese worldwide know about her and many millions love her singing, especially this song which is also well known. She was mainland China’s favourite singer in the eighties (even though she was from Taiwan) when China was opened up economically. It was a great loss when she died of a sudden asthma attack when she was about 44.
I have heard her singing this song and I really can understand why she was so loved. She has a beautiful voice and a very modest appearance. To bad that she is passed away at such a young age. Thank you Paul for the information about Teresa.
Hello Paul, I and my younger brother have been long time fans of you. We always get excited when you put out something new. But on to my question; I am getting married on December 3 2022 and would love to use your beautiful rendition of this song in my wedding. Is the sheet music available? Side note: Would love to see you cover "Somewhere in My Memory" from Home Alone...THAT would be gorgeous for Christmas time as well!
Hi Shatz 🙂 ... that's so wonderful you're getting married in December! Just letting you know the sheet music is now available! www.musicnotes.com/l/MHGMm
This is the best piano arrangement I ever listen too! It has such a lovely arrangement and I can help listening to it over and over again 🥰. Many great big thumbs 👍 up for you! I have a request. Can you play Sakura Biyori by Mai Hoshimura? It's my favourite japanese song and with your talent, I'm sure I'll definitely enjoy listening to your arrangement 😊.
Thank you Jean! Yes I’ll transcribe it in September for you! I’m so busy making the daily requests I just can’t get them notated fast enough 😅… I’m like a piano hamster on a wheel this month ❤️ 🐹
