BELIEVER (Imagine Dragons) - LIVE - Jennifer Thomas (Epic Piano/Orchestra/Choir cover)

[@ryans413]

The piano is such a good instrument. It can take vocals of a song turn it instrumental and you can still understand the lyrics

[@Urmom-js2lz]

you do know that any other instrument can do that right?

[@HaharuRecords]

@@Urmom-js2lz 🤣🙏

[@HaharuRecords]

Piano is such a great instrument, which can create harmony which creats unimagineable atmosphere but If you understand some instruments that create natural pitch bends and ornaments like Sitar, the melody brings so deep into emortions.. So it depends basically on three main things that you are in touch most: Melody/Harmony/Rhythm.

[@notesbynush]

Any melodic instrument can do this. What's happening here isn't unique to the piano. In the original song, the lyrics were sung on a melody. A melody is the sequence of notes in a song. The piano here is then playing the melody of "Believer" (along with other parts of its arrangement with harmonization and decorations etc.), and because you know the melody & lyrics already, hearing the melody on the piano without the lyrics reminds you of the lyrics!

[@XxKidnoffxX]

You can do it with other instruments too, like 'fingerpicking' on Guitar. But on the piano, one finger do one note, so the possibility is a lot bigger. My favorite instrument is the Piano, but you can't ignore other instruments. And I mean, it's not for nothing that the piano is ALWAYS the main instrument when you have it in a orchestra like here. It's a leader

[@stayfitandy8658]

I love the darkness of the intro

[@lillymaymusic2661]

First things first I'ma say all the words inside my head I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh The way that things have been, oh-ooh Second thing second Don't you tell me what you think that I could be I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh The master of my sea, oh-ooh I was broken from a young age Taking my sulking to the masses Writing my poems for the few That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me Singing from heartache from the pain Taking my message from the veins Speaking my lesson from the brain Seeing the beauty through the... Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer Pain! You break me down and build me up, believer, believer Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain My life, my love, my drive, it came from... Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer First things first Can you imagine what's about to happen? It's Weezy the Dragon, I link with the Dragons And we gon' get ratchet, no need for imaginin' This is what's happenin' Second thing second, I reckon immaculate Sound about accurate I know that strength, it don't come, don't come without strategy I know the sweet, it don't come without cavities I know the passages come with some traffic I start with from the basement, end up in the attic And third thing third Whoever call me out, they simply can't count Let's get mathematic, I'm up in this, huh

[@underplot101]

Only just now finding this masterpiece, this was very well put together! And using a piano for the vocals definitely works (and just makes it sound even better)

[@jenniferthomas]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Why the hell there are 21 dislikes

[@fade_mango1248]

As a piano player I hate it when ppl throw their hands in the air after they play a not on the piano it’s just so annoying cause it’s literally not necessary😂

[@jenniferthomas]

Sorry, to be fair, on the reverse side, it's equally boring to watch a pianist who sits like a robot with no performance flair. Just saying. For me, being immersed in the music also becomes like a dance for my hands, and they go up and flair often! 😉

[@toddshinn4955]

It is distracting for me as a listener, but as a player, it helps my timing.

[@aguidner7285]

why you didnt make a singer do the melody?

[@jenniferthomas]

Well, it was always meant to focus on the song as an instrumental version, with the choir as effect - as I'm a pianist (and I wrote the arrangement to focus on the piano). But if I do perform this ever again live with symphony and choir, I think I'll have the choir singing melody more towards the end.

[@justmusic4249]

@@jenniferthomas Scrolling through the comments after listening to this for the 50th time in 24 hours, I just wanted to respond to this exchange. While I do respect the original poster's opinion/question and your graceful reply, I LOVE the focus of the arrangement on the piano and how you integrated the choir. If you do ever perform this again live, leave as is (my humble but picky opinion). :-) Very, very well done. This arrangement had me exploring your other works. I'm certainly not caught up, but have downloaded your Christmas album to add to my collection of holiday music. We'll also see how well I do at learning your arrangement of O Holy Night. ;-) Have a wonderful Christmas!

[@sblva]

The main tool was to make a violin.

[@hans-peterbrugger8963]

...and the choir for what... decoration?!?

[@jenniferthomas]

Yes actually lol. Please understand I am a pianist and I arranged this piece to feature the piano on melody, hence why I am up front as the soloist. Choir can be a color and not the feature.

[@Zero-vu8se]

She doesn't look very happy xD

[@jenniferthomas]

Lol just concentrating lol 😂❤️
