Phil Collins - Against All Odds (cover on piano)

  • Pleased to hear he is out of retirement - one of the smoothest voices in the industry. This song is big on character and has been on my radar for some time because of its highly distinctive chord progression and defiant use of suspensions, inversions and pedal tones. Phil Collins performed this song during the original Live Aid concert while he was in the UK before taking a Concord to Philadelphia to play drums at the same event.

    Watching these video performances motivated me to buy a keyboard... hopefully one day I will be able to play something....Paul, great job! Keep it up and thanks for the inspiration!

      Same here... watching him play motivated me so much. Would be great to be half as good as him one day. Practice! Practice!

    How can I just let you walk away,
    Just let you leave without a trace?
    When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
    You're the only one who really knew me at all
    How can you just walk away from me
    When all I can do is watch you leave?
    'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
    And even shared the tears
    You're the only one who really knew me at all
    So take a look at me now
    'Cause there's just an empty space
    And there's nothing left here to remind me
    Just the memory of your face
    Take a look at me now
    Well there's just an empty space
    And you coming back to me is against the odds
    And that's what I've got to face, oh
    I wish I could just make you turn around
    Turn around and see me cry
    There's so much I need to say to you
    So many reasons why
    You're the only one who really knew me at all
    So take a look at me now
    Well there's just an empty space
    And there's nothing left here to remind me
    Just the memory of your face
    Take a look at me now
    See there's just an empty space
    But to wait for you is all I can do
    And that's what I've got to face
    Take a good look at me now
    'Cause I'll still be standing here
    And you coming back to me is against all odds
    That's the chance I've gotta take
    Take a look at me now
    Take a look at me now
    Take a look at me now

  • @equesfuscus
    @equesfuscus 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the way you synthesize the piano's upper notes and the melody. I was worried for a second that you'd do one or the other. But as always, you showed me that Paul's got it ALL under control! :-) Wonderful improvisations and additions in the second verse. Fantastic work, sir.

    • @paulwwells
      @paulwwells  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +equesfuscus Thank you. I'm starting to do that more and more and it feels quite liberating. The piano is sensitive enough, and the recording and play-back is clean enough to distinguish between melody and accompaniment - so why not? The melody doesn't have to be the top line.

    Sir. How did you make the arrangement so beautiful in piano? It’s perfect 👌 😍

    • @paulwwells
      @paulwwells  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Romel - I'll try to give you the best answer I can to your question. I try lots of songs and only develop the ones which sound good. In other words, I accept that some songs cannot sound good on piano. I usually play three parts, left hand bass, right hand melody and accompaniment. I play the melody loudly and the accompaniment quietly and I occasionally use my left hand to add accompaniment. I play the song lots of times, adjusting the arrangement a little bit each time I play it to make incremental improvements. I hope this at least partly answers your question. Paul.

      @@paulwwells such great musicianship from this old lady's era! No auto tune baloney. Just the real deal! I'm working on Joni Mitchell's Help Me and this aging diva (me) is having a hell of a time working on my vocal break (chest into head voice). I hate getting old. Oh well. At least I was accepted to sing at Carnegie Hall and get called any time to join the chorus. Just search my name in TH-cam. Enjoy the madness!
