[@joanbustos3301]

This is so very lovely! Thank you, Charles Szczepanek​! You inspire, awe, enliven, comfort, and bless me with your artistry!

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

Aw, thanks Joan!!!

[@laneyterrell2989]

this is absolutely breathtaking. the original song brings me to tears but this cover absolutely made me cry. it captures the feeling of love and care so well. I wish I could play this well.

I was listening to another piano channel when this video cut in as an ad. At first I felt really annoyed and wanted to skip it after 5 seconds. But instead of 5 seconds, I stayed for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute.....and eventually finished the whole video. Then, without hesitation, I pressed the subscribe button.

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

Thanks Frank! Sorry for the initial annoyance, but glad you like the arrangement and looking forward to staying in touch! Thanks for the sub!

[@Little_Feather]

I was watching a video and your ad came on with this song playing. I watched through the whole ad because you played so beautifully. It reminds me of when I had a dream/passion for playing the piano, but because of a traumatic event. I can't place my fingers on the keys without shaking, so I sold my piano to someone who will use it and cherish it as I cherished it when I was growing up with it.

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

Chantal Martin, that is so touching!! You are so kind and generous to give someone the opportunity to explore music, especially after the trauma you suffer in association with music. I’m honored that you listened through the song and took the time to write. Thank you for sharing some of your story!

[@krazykryz12]

My wife walked down the aisle to this. And it absolutely floored me. The most beautiful piano rendition!

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

krazykryz12 that’s so sweet! That’s so much! It’s hard to make a percussion instrument sing the way Bens voice does!

[@SamSine]

So beautiful! It has become one of my top 10 personal favorite songs as well. So, I covered it too as a piano and vocal version. Again, so much emotion and grace in your playing.

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

Sam Sine thanks so much! I’ll check out your cover as well!

[@sheerio-82993]

I just wanted to let you know I found this cover so beautiful I walked down the aisle to it at my wedding on 8.8.2020. This song meant alot to me because alot of people thought we were too young to get married, but we knew it was the next step for our relationship and that we would grow together. Thank you for capturing the absolute beauty to this song.

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

sheerio82993 that’s so awesome!!! Thanks for choosing my music to be part of such an important day in your life! Best wishes to you and your new husband!

[@CitizenOfNeverland]

I was just listening to this for the same reason! How did you do the audio? Charles, would you be willing to provide it? It’s gorgeous.

[@joannomahoney5321]

What a beautiful piano play! You use your notes to remember your memories.

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

Thanks so much, Jasmine!

[@SCornfoot]

Absolutely breathtaking, when I try to play it , somehow it sounds like a plodding armadillo. What a talent you have. I very much enjoy watching and listening to your music. Thank you. It's a gift.

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

Thanks so much! I’m sure you sound better than a plodding armadillo! But I must admit that analogy made me chuckle. 😁

[@vishank7]

Beautifully played. Surely looking forward to more of your works!

You say there's so much you don't know You need to go and find yourself You say you'd rather be alone 'Cause you think you won't find it tied to someone else Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you I don't think you have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go You won't be the only one I am unfinished, I've got so much left to learn I don't know how this river runs But I'd like the company through every twist and turn Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you You don't ever have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go I don't know who we'll become I can't promise it's not written in the stars But I believe that when it's done We're gonna see that it was better That we grew up together Tell me you don't wanna leave 'Cause if change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow We'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go

[@annettearizona3812]

🙏💫🎬🎹❤️ Awesome! You are in sync and your interpretation is so creative. I hear both feminine and masculine in your interpretation versus the video with just the male vocal. But I’m no expert! The video is good too! I’ll be attending the next concert! My people cancelled on me for the last one. I’m sure it was great! Have a good week and I’ll be tweeting this. 🐥

Please make a tutorial for this. I will pay anything at all. This hits my heart so perfectly.

[@CharlesSzczepanek]

Mario Chiappetta-Nevel I plan to! It’s going to be a couple months, there are a few other pieces I’m doing first, but I’ll get to it. It’ll be different than what you see most other places on KZbin... I’m calling the series “In Depth Tutorials” and a couple episodes are out. It’s less of how to learn the notes and more about details in technique and musicianship that are hidden inside.
