Nightwish - Storytime - Piano version (Dean Kopri)

New way to support my work - Buy me a coffee on ko-fi ko-fi.com/deankopri777
This song needed a re-upload, a new version and the video! Although I like the version I uploaded few years ago I wanted to make a new one! And here it is! :) I did it really quick actually, and had some funny moments with Khal, my cat while recording it xD
Anyway, this year Nightwish has a 20th anniversary, so time to make plenty new videos to celebrate it! \m/

------------------
I'm preparing for next Kitee International Music and Art Festival 2016 (former Nightwish days) that will happen in July so you can expect more covers and live performances from there. I'll be working with a group of 8 talented vocalists so you'll have a chance to hear NW songs in a bit different arrangements ;) Find us on a Facebook and maybe you could visit us in Kitee or watch the live stream - / kiteemusican. .
-------------
And also, I'm participant of a new Nightwish documentary about fans that is being filmed at the moment. Check it out if you want to be a part of it - / fellowimagin. .

This reveals the essence of the composition, somewhere between classical and pop.

'Twas the night before When all through the world, No words, no dreams Then one day, A writer by a fire Imagined all of Gaia Took a journey into a child-man's heart... A painter on the shore Imagined all the world Within a snowflake on his palm Unframed by poetry A canvas of awe Planet Earth falling back into the stars I am the voice of Never-Never-Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear I am the journey, I am the destination, I am the home The tale that reads you A way to taste the night, The elusive high Follow the madness, Alice you know once did Imaginarium, a dream emporium! Caress the tales And they will dream you real A storyteller's game, Lips that intoxicate The core of all life Is a limitless chest of tales... I am the voice of Never-Never-Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear I am the voice of Never-Never-Land The innocence, the dreams of every man Searching heavens for another Earth I am the voice of Never, Never Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky, Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear

Thank you! :)

[@pepehernandez2083]

Wooooooo,q chingón felicidades chico mucho animooo adelante con todo

[@Sephirothll]

Wow, That's awesome. I loved the final, you really took the feeling of nightwish. @Edit: You are one of the fews that can cover nightwish songs and keep the feeling of the song. A song that I really would love to hear a true piano version is The Islander. I've searched over the KZbin, but no one could do something like "Shaman - Fairy Tale".

[@DeanKopri]

+LeoLupinos Thank you for a nice comment :D I did play Islander a bit when Dark passion was released... maybe I could give it a go in time ;)

[@4evaism]

Damn man, Shaman's Fairy Tale is on an entirely another level, almost unreachable realm.

[@taizacosta5868]

loved the cute cat!

[@DeanKopri]

:D

[@badsiony]

Beautiful job, sounds amazing. It would be awesome if you could release these onto steaming services such as Spotify, I'd love to have your music on my playlist :)

[@DeanKopri]

Hmmm I should check out how does that work because of the copyright. Last time I was looking it up, I think that I would need to pay some money to have a cover song on Spotify and with all my Nightwish covers... that would be too much money xD

[@misswishnight7]

Cute cat who wants to play piano ♥ so epic, can't stop laughing everytime XD

[@naragarcia921]

Very good interpretation! did you spend much time practicing? This is one of The best Nightwish songs and I Liked your piano version a lot guy, congratulations!

[@DeanKopri]

Thank you Nara! I actually don't practice the songs that much. Most of them I've played on concerts few times so they kind of stick to my memory :D And then I just need to repeat them from time to time :)

[@river114]

Odličan!! Poz iz hrv 😁😁🤘🤘

[@gelucarausu]

if that piano would have cost 100 times more it still would have been at least 100 times cheap because of your skill, btw, I love your cat. hope she gives us a sonata soon, if she wants it...

[@pexpriest1568]

Dude this is epic! I'm just replay-replay-replay-replay-etc.! Please tell me that there are sheets or at least midi files to this one :D I want to learn it ^^ As my favourite Nightwish song it would be awesome :D

[@fabiolaandrea6968]

Will you ever make a bad version?? XD Very nice, a lot of feelings in it.... ( :3 prrrr kitty moments, always nice moments)

[@DeanKopri]

+Isabella Stoll Hey Isabella! Thank you for a nice comment. Unfortunately, I never write the sheets down :/ And my favorite song would be.. hmmm probably Sleeping sun.. although Ghost love score, Greatest show on the earth, Poet and the pendulum... and the list goes on :D

[@stephenwillet4075]

Do you ever post the sheet music anywhere? Would love the chance to learn this.

[@vankmiriam]

Beautifully covered. I know this pieces are not easy to convert to the piano version. :) However, how can you play when your piano doesn't state still? It makes me nervous every time I have to play sth like this. Like the keys jump below my hands. :D

[@DeanKopri]
