No One But You (Only the Good Die Young) - Queen (Piano Cover)

This is my piano cover of No One But You by Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon - the remaining members of Queen. The 1997 track is a tribute to Freddie Mercury and all others who have died too soon. Joining this category is Alexander "Technoblade", who I dedicate the video to - he passed away just after his 24th birthday last year. The arrangement is my most ambitious so far. It's played with a tuning of A = 450 Hz to better match the pitch of the original track.

Special dedication for this one and a beautifully thought out arrangement. And lovely musical nuances throughout as well. I loved listening in.

PS. So cool you used a A = 450hz tuning. My husband was just talking about that. [He's a cellist and has a far better ear than I do for more subtle nuances!]

[@boredPianoAdv]

@@MotifMusicStudios Ooh! In this case the tuning was to match the pitch of the original track (which was analogously sped up in post); I've really enjoyed using it because it brings C major playing closer the timbreal region of Db major, changing it from one of my least favorite sounds towards one of my most favorite.

This is probably the best Queen piano cover I've ever heard! ❤ You have talent.

[@boredPianoAdv]

Thank you so much! I try to make my original covers special. Glad you found the video!

[@OneHandPianoMan]

Beautifully played and performed. Really enjoy the intricacies in the filler positions of the song. Excellent work!

[@boredPianoAdv]

Many thanks, was hoping you see this! Happy you pointed out what I did for the "filler" sections - the original song has a different singer, lyrics, and instrumentation for each repeating part; I've only got one piano and have to find ways to make them work

[@thatskingbooker]

Wow , just wow , incredible, beautiful

[@boredPianoAdv]

Thanks! Had you known of the original song?

Woww, you even bother to tune it to a slightly higher Hz, I appreciate all these little details / effort there! Also, gotta say this is a really lovely arrangement and performance by you! And NICE, I see some beautiful reflection of some trees from your piano too 😱

[@boredPianoAdv]

Went all in on this one! Been working on the visual quality of the videos, too (great that you like the reflections!) I appreciate your stopping by the channel and leaving such kind words on my videos :D
