    Help! is a wonderful song - and a cry from a man inundated by the new life he's created - a self-imposed prison. I love it. But it's hardly the Beatles' most impressive work. Mr. Wakeman makes it sound like it was written by Frederic Chopin. This man is a gift to mankind. So was Chopin.

      I´m pretty sure if there had been a reunion in 80-90th this song would had been on the table. Lennon made it swing and mentioned once that he would had liked to record Help properly again. Wakeman did his proper version.

    Fingers moving as effortlessly as the wind . I was fortunate enough to attend the Six Wives Of Henry VII concert at Hampton Court Palace , and the meet-and-greet prior to the concert . As he entered the room , we heard " Oh ... Hello ! " , as if he was surprised to see anyone there . The most humble guy you could ever hope to meet . And a modern-day Mozart .

    I think it's a great Beatles song. Anybody asking for help is a hero in my book. The song was confessional - and touches into the universal heart of all of us who at one time or another had to admit we needed help- which isn't so easy for some souls souls like John in particular ~ who are survivors of deep pain.

    I finally got to see Rick at Birmingham Town Hall last Saturday & what a wonderful evening it turned out to be. Rick was in top form, standing in front of the Giant Organ, with umpteen stories & beautiful renditions of selected pieces from the Piano Portraits album & more. I bought a programme which had a free CD attached to the cover & what a revelation that is now I have played it through, with tracks depicting his many genres through the years & I was touched by the exclusive version of "Children of Chernobyl".

    Just discovered tihis! What a Wizard this man is!!!! But wowowowowwow!!! Unbelievable skill, and every note hits home with the emotion, and dynamics, and just moves my soul!!! Like you always have Rick. YES is why I went into pursuing a life of music. Yessongs was that pivot point in my life. Didn't end up making the music I really wanted to, but stil making a living with music. So i got #2. But I just discovered your channel! Forgive me but I should have been here years ago!!! I've seen just about every YES tour in about every configuration any of you guys have been in. Wakeman brings the magic, the feeling, the emotion,. And you're still amazing!!! Glad to have rediscovered an old friend. :)

    This is the way how John Lennon had 'Help!' in his mind. He wanted it as a slow ballad, but the record company kind of forced The Beatles to make it faster and more commercial. Lennon would have been proud on Rick.

    Thank you Mr. Wakeman. I have this on loop to keep me together as I'm typing, I'm headed back to the rooms. I saw death last night. Thank you so much, Mr. Wakeman for helping me through this. I think we share a date in 1985 as that was when I tried my second attempt in the rooms. I bought all of your works of the mid-70's period on vinyl in record shops, NYCity, Greenwich Village. I bought "Country Airs" too. I love the piece for your cat Kookie. I couldn't make it to the Ridgefield Playhouse, CT, USA, as I had hoped. I'm homeless. I was spitting distance from you at the AWBH show, Orange County Speedway, New York, open air. Mr. Anderson admonished a guy in the audience who was making noise during your solo. I would have punched his teeth down his throat had I been near him. Luckily, I was a good distance away. Thank you for enriching my life with your music. You can't know what you've done as I am a listener, a fan. I've listened on loop for 30 minutes and I'm "healed."

    It's nearly impossible to listen to this song without hearing the words / lyrics in your head. But ... when he gets to the ... "won't you please help me .. help me .. " 0:52 .. and @ 2:02 ... it all changes. A "classical composers" touch takes command of the melody and elaborates ... much like Bach or Brahms would have .. { if they were still around} ... lol ...
