Nightwish - Escapist - Piano version (Dean Kopri)

New way to support my work - Buy me a coffee on ko-fi ko-fi.com/dean...
Tuomas Holopainen's Escapist (Nightwish) -
Escapist is actually really fun song to play, but not so much when you try to record it 4-5 times in a row... As you can see it turned dark outside until I finished it! :) And the best part is the Nightingale singing in the beginning of the video! ...
As with the Amaranth, I had to change some parts 'cause those are almost impossible to play on piano :) So in some parts it's more a cover, or a variation, when compared to original version... But what a heck - this is just for fun! :D
Can't wait for the Imaginarium!
Cheers,
Dean Kopri \m/

Outstanding! Please make updated version !!!

[@emberblack9085]

Amazing! Could you maybe someday rerecord it in higher quality? :)

[@DeanKopri]

I started playing piano when I was 6-7 years old. A year later I started to go to a primary music school, then high school and finally Academy... That would be 18-19 years LOL xD I don't have the musical sheets - I never write them :)

[@DeanKopri]

@TristanaMayFeather Thank you for a nice comment. I'm glad you liked my video. Greetings from Croatia ;)

[@cutewilbunnies]

This is a perfect instrumental version to one of my favorite songs! I would love for you to record it and sell it as an Mp3. This would make an awesome lullaby.

[@GrissyPink7y9]

[@Radartista65]

Congratulations! I am a big fan of Nightwish, and what you do with their songs is really wonderful! Since now I am fan of yours too ... I would love hear a full version of While your lips are still red ... I think the most moving piano composition of Tuomas.

[@DeanKopri]

6 years later, I hope you found my cover of While your lips are still red :)

[@DeanKopri]

@matijaos hehehe... malo izbacio. Sto je najgore nisam ni planirao svirati na ovom klaviru, a drugi klavir je okrenut na drugu stranu tako da se tetovaza slucajno pojavila u kadru :D

[@vandelfi]

ma svaka čast hoštapleru. imaš zlatne ruke :-)

[@mariaceciliamiko9581]

Hey, I'm from Poland. I also can't wait for the new album Imaginarium:D, but slowly coming:). Wow, you really play the piano beautifully, I'm jealous;) Good work, you changed the song nicely. Really, really nice to listen to your composition, congratulations!:)

[@safirewolf93]

[@DeanKopri]

@0NightStar0 Thanks :)

[@corneag2596]

I listened to this now for at least the 30th time, it's so good! Please, if you ever get the opportunity again, rerecord this on grand piano together with Elmas Mehmet on vocals- that would be so awsome!

[@PriiCN]

@7evendeuce Sorry, that's really lot of work. And it's tricky 'cause the intro has lots of different measures. And I don't have enough free time for it. :/
