Like The Movies - Laufey | Jazz Piano

My arrangement of yet another future jazz standard by Laufey! It was pretty difficult to get right and I must have done a hundred takes to get this one (which is still far from perfect)
On another note, I had my piano tuned! However, the technician must have also done something that left my sustain pedal really creaky now, which you can hear in the recording :( I will contact them again and hopefully get it fixed by the next video)

[@kimmaynwjns]

Maybe one day I'll fall in a bookstore Into the arms of a guy We'll sneak into bars and gaze at the stars Surrounded by fireflies Oh, I'd like to sleep in till two on a Sunday And listen to the bluebirds sigh Get soaked in the rain and smile through the pain Slow dance under stormy skies Maybe I'm just old fashioned Read too many fairytales It's no wonder I've had no luck, no one's ever good enough I want a love like I've seen in the movies That's why I'll never fall in love Oh, maybe I'm just old fashioned Read too many fairytales It's no wonder I've had no luck, no one's ever good enough I want a love like I've seen in the movies That's why I'll never fall in love

[@enyablanket7972]

This is absolutely my favourite piano cover of this song, you might just have to write a transript for this, ill pay whatever for it T^T its sooooo good :,)

[@honestkeys]

Thank you so much ;D writing out the music takes quite a bit of time so I only do it every now and then. Once I hit 500 subs (soon!) I'll pick the most liked video to transcribe. You can check the latest community post for more info!

Can you post the piano sheet pleaseee 😭😭😭 rlly need it

[@honestkeys]

No sheet exists atm sorry 😢but if I write one in the future I'll let you know

[@belicity]

​@@honestkeys how do u make covers? I wanna try use urs as inspo so i can play like the movies as well 😀

[@honestkeys]

Hey @@belicity! What really helps me in creating these covers (especially the more jazzy ones) is actually the fact that I spent a lot of time in the past learning to play jazz standards. I would highly recommend looking into them as they help you build the harmonic vocab required to play in this style.

[@belicity]

@@honestkeys thank you! Do u have any more tips about learning jazz?

[@honestkeys]

@@belicity Here are some keywords and topics I think you should look into: - 251 chord progression - chord extensions - learn to play jazz lead sheet - block chords - rootless voicings There are infinitely more to learn in jazz but those are my bread and butter.

[@Sneviahissy]

[@honestkeys]

Thank you so much! If you have any friends who are into this kind of music pls feel free to share my videos with them :P Someone else also just asked about learning jazz. Here are some topics I'd suggest looking into: - 251 chord progression - chord extensions - learn to play jazz lead sheet - block chords - rootless voicings Lmk if you have other questions!

Thank you! No, not at the moment, but I might in the future! I'm currently in the process of transcribing one of my previous videos to celebrate reaching 100 subscribers, and I might do this again for future milestones.

[@honestkeys]

Underrated song that I keep forgetting about. I'll try to learn it!

[@shroom2547]

may I ask will there ever be sheet music🥺🥺🥺🥺????? great arrangement though^^

[@honestkeys]

There might be in the future! I'm currently working on Valentine's sheet for 500 subs and might pick another one when I reach 1000 subs. You can read my past community posts for more details.

[@Falvio098]

I love this cover, do you have any sheet? I can pay for it.

[@honestkeys]

Hey! There's no sheet for this one yet, but it's on my todo list. So far I've only done "Valentine" and "Amore mio aiutami".

[@Falvio098]

​@@honestkeys Thnks, I just learned your Valentine arrangement and I liked it so much that my mind told me I had to play this one. both amazing arrangements, thank you very much!

[@ChiciroYee]

So theres no piano sheets 🎹 but its fine IT SOUNDS SUPER DUPER AMAZING 🤩

[@honestkeys]

Thank you! No sheets atm but there could be, pls check my latest community post where I talk about that in detail ^^ !

He play by ear

[@BenBen-bb7bb]

Hey! Amazing piece, is this in the original key?… Im going to transpose it when I get the chance

[@honestkeys]

Thank you and yes, it's in the original key

[@rayquan4449]

You should do American Strings by Piero Piccioni that songs beautiful

[@honestkeys]

I just gave it a listen. Really beautiful song!

[@Zuwn]

you should make a tutorial on how to start playing jazz fr

[@honestkeys]

Are there any topics that you're interested in in particular? I've kinda thought about it but I feel like there are already a ton of good jazz tutorials out there so I'm not sure

[@Zuwn]

thats very true but all of them are quite hard to follow even if im an amateur at piano. i'd say like "how to play ___ in jazz" so that its geared towards a trendy song and you try to tell us your thought process and tips on how to make the specific song jazzy!@@honestkeys

[@honestkeys]

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I'll have a think about it!@@Zuwn
