Lean On Me - Bill Withers (Piano Cover)

Bill Withers died today, so I thought I'd throw this together. First take. Terrible posture. Bad hair. Piano needs a tune. Such a great song and so appropriate for the times we're living in.

[@HoseaRattrey-gs9mm]

That is the best song because we need someone to lean on

[@robholland9245]

I absolutely love this. Gonna replay this many times

Lean on me was my first song I ever learned as a child. It meant the world to me, thanks to bill withers I have a love and passion for music. The older you get, you learn to cherish what you have. Family, friends, and ones who give you the shoulder to lean on. RIP Bill Withers, you truly are and were a great man of soul and music, thank you and god bless.

[@darkwolfree7792]

You know that was the first song I ever attempted to play on my keyboard and I’m still learning your voice is perfect and the way you play it too

[@darkwolfree7792]

Can you do Wiz Kalifia and Charlie Puth See you again

[@Snarl_Marx]

@aac1990able my brother would always play this song on piano and sing along with it. He developed a neurological condition that made it very difficult to play piano, so I learned it (albeit very rudimentary) on guitar so he and I could still sing it together. Such a beautiful, uniting song. Rest in peace to a legend.

[@BrendoniPepperoni]

Nice job dude! This sounds great

[@distance_to_empty]

Brendoni Pepperoni Thanks man!

Thats cool im actually learning lean on me in my music class 😁

[@glasgow757]

Really nice job, first bit of singing seemed like it was a bit low for you but you really got into your stride and sounded great.

[@glasgow757]

In fact, forget that bit about being too low, just listened again and it sounded great all the way through... hope I can get my playing as good one day.

[@distance_to_empty]

glasgow757 That’s EXACTLY what I thought! Was very off-the-cuff given the circumstances, and I’d forgotten just how low that goes! Thanks for the comment.

Wow😍really nice, can you share the sheet with me..?

[@distance_to_empty]

Thanks! I’m afraid I don’t tend to play to notation, I just write the chords out or get them from the internet, plus a few lyrical reminders.
