NIK KERSHAW - Wouldn't It Be Good (1984) ~ Piano Cover

[@timburdsey]

This is so much more than a tutorial. It is an absolutely beautiful rendition. You inhabit NK’s song so perfectly. Just exquisite.

[@masterkeyz959]

Thanks so much for your kind words, Tim, much appreciated and I’m glad you enjoyed my arrangement and playing! (This was one of my favourite songs to do a piano cover of!)

[@stuartcooke2997]

This song sounds so great on piano, well done and thank you for a great cover.

[@masterkeyz959]

Cheers, Stuart, I’m glad you enjoyed this video - I really enjoyed playing this classic Nik Kershaw song!!

[@ShakerCuda71]

One of my all time favorite songs. Beautifully done!!

[@adellittle3547]

I love your cover of this song. 😊

I got it bad You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you've got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should The cold is biting Through each and every nerve and fibre My broken spirit is frozen to the core I don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good If we could wish ourselves away? Wouldn't it be good to be on your side? The grass is always greener over there Wouldn't it be good If we could live without a care? You must be joking You don't know a thing about it You've got no problem I'd stay right there if I were you I got it harder You couldn't dream how hard I got it Stay out of my shoes If you know what's good for you The heat is stifling Burning me up from the inside The sweat is coming through each and every pore I don't wanna be here no more I don't wanna be here no more I don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good If we could wish ourselves away? Ooh-ooh-ooh Wouldn't it be good to be on your side? The grass is always greener over there Wouldn't it be good If we could live without a care? I got it bad You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you've got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should Don't wanna be here no more

So perfect, so sweet, great piano cover Maestro 👏 love that ♥️

[@PianoDean]

Very very nicely detailed cover....love it.

[@masterkeyz959]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@PianoDean]

Absolutely! It's my 2nd favorite song of all time...and I hate that it wasn't huge in the US. I have a cover of it on my small and insignificant channel and I would love your opinion of mine if it's not asking too much, but I don't play quite as many "notes" as you do...my ear just didn't develop that amount of detail, but I think I come pretty close to playing it fairly accurately: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnjJiJyrpaxqgLcsi=Hx5k7VQG5mEea_MI@@masterkeyz959

I saw Nik Kershaw in concert last week.

[@dariadelroscio1591]

Thank you for this beautiful song, i've just learnt how to play it and i'm very grateful to you for this video. Can you play "new moon on monday" by Duran Duran please? I hope you can!

[@foreversunrise8749]

Thank you for posting this ;-)

[@vercetti59]

Hope you play the riddle 👍

[@maxoberg4642]

[@TheFlamingPiano]

K2 this time, nice! I also like your flares! Is that trapcode starglow? And good playing of course, never heard of that song though

[@masterkeyz959]

Yeah I think it was the K2 how did you tell?

[@TheFlamingPiano]

@@masterkeyz959 The piano sounds can be distinct in Pianoteq and I used most of it. I can tell between most of the pianos maybe.

[@calcifer1680]

Beautiful

[@wendyraye]

I want to learn this SO BAD. Haven’t played in over 30 years so I don’t remember much. It’s too fast for me to keep up!

[@nicolaaszeven]

give it a try at .75 or .5 speed, option in play settings. Wouldnt that be good?

[@MakeMusic88]

Wow, you did a really good job there ! Thumps up !

[@fabm6724]

These new videos are fantastic man! By the way, I see you uploaded a video for abrsm "Un amanecer en Santa Marta" a while ago. Wanted to ask if you have the midi file of it or if you can upload a new video but in this new format?

[@masterkeyz959]

Magnetic rag uploaded BTW!

[@fabm6724]

Master Keyz Yep, I liked first, superb rendition! Also, could be possible to upload "The Easy Winners" rag in this format? There are very few vids out there of Joplin's rags

[@masterkeyz959]

@@fabm6724 yes we are going to try and edit the tags already recorded to the new style, save re-recording them.

[@douglasmccannpiano]

Master chorus. Terrible verse. And great. Bridge. Bravo recording
