Love is Blue (L'amour est bleu) by Paul Mauriat - piano cover (first version)

Skip to 0:49 to avoid my waffling preamble.
UPDATE!!! I have uploaded a rather sketchy "Style Tutorial" for this tune at • A short Style Pattern ...

[@sovidquack8418]

0:49 hope that helps

[@ShedeasVideos]

Sovidquack Thanks, I hope it does. I had tried saying something similar below my video, but I guess it mustn't be working, so I'll try pinning your comment as well. It all helps ;-)

Today is June 01 2024 and for me this is still the best version ever. Soothing to the soul.

[@agonzaes]

Agreed. I have seen and heard this version several times to get it right. Last time, a couple of minutes ago 😊

[@3434abab]

​@@agonzaesyes, my ex is a concert pianist and it is her favorite too!

[@davidirwin1549]

This is the best piano version of Love is Blue because it is played faster and with more passion than the other covers.

[@michaelbrandt5416]

In my humble opinion, this cover version is better than the original. Wish I had the same talent to actually sound like an entire orchestra as presented by this lovely lady. Bless you for sharing.

[@ShedeasVideos]

And bless you for such a beautiful comment, Michael :-)

[@mikewolverton7904]

This song reminds me of my grandmother sitting in her rocking chair, in silence, praying on her rosary beads. 🙏

[@patrickciacco1083]

i remember hearing this song from the cradle. I'm 56 years old now and this song has only gotten sweeter as the decades of my life have passed by. Love is Bleu is a jewel of a classic.

This ethereal masterpiece has magically transported me once again, back to my childhood.

I loved this one as a child and played it on our upright piano. I think Shedea plays it beautifully, and certainly brings back many memories.

[@ShedeasVideos]

Thank you so much Jim.

[@agonzaes]

Beautify played... My father, who I awfully still miss after many years he's gone, loved this song. Worth trying to play it for him.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Antonio. It is a beautiful idea to learn to play this for him.

Hey, no need for the apology at the begining, just let your playing skills speak for themselves. This is a perfect rendition of Love Is Blue. I've been practising this one on my harmonica - I'm nearly there.

[@nancyoshea8787]

Thank you so much Shedea! 🩵Enjoying your arrangement so much that I have been playing the video over and over🎶 I ordered a sheet music version a few months ago, hoping I could find the one I had in my youth, but the arrangement I purchased was awful. Now, for me, YOUR version is right up there with (and maybe even better than) the original. May God bless you for sharing this gift with us.

[@ShedeasVideos]

You're very welcome Nancy, thank you so much, and I hope you were able to use my tutorial (link below video) as a substitute for such disappointing sheet music.
