Stopping the Shopping Mall Crowd With A-Ha Take On Me Piano | Cole Lam

[@ColeLam]

A massive hit from the 80's - A-Ha Take On Me is brilliant! Loved playing it, and it clearly is a crowd favourite too! Audio isn't great on this one as we had not set up the audio recorders yet, so it's coming from a little vocal mic and the camera mic - hope it's ok!

But still wish SONG FOR ANA , BALLAD FOR ADELLINE AND BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER...🇵🇭🙏🌹✌

Cole is a genius!!!

[@mohork]

I play that on the guitar. Honestly, I really do, that's such a classic. Thankyou, it's a pleasure you play one of my favourate songs today. Thank you.

[@brianouwersloot]

hey there cole i hope you will perform more songs from the 60s 70s and 80s in public and putting them on YT because it is amazing seeing a young piano magician like yourself playing oldschool songs would be amazing so thanks for thisone allready

[@Uller1967]

Such a great song, cool video and you did a wonderful cover of it. Thanks for sharing!

[@raylightbown4968]

A good crowd-pleasing song. As Don said, you always make things the Cole Lan interpretation. I loved the shot of the little kids enjoying it. 🤩💖💖💖👏👏👏

Just a fantastic rendition. Captured the feel of the MV and song. And hope you met that super cute girl who came at the end.

[@muliawatiliento3798]

Woww. I really enjoy it and it really make my day...God bless you Cole..👍😍🙏

[@glennclark5642]

pure genius, thank for making this shite world a whole lot better, you know it gives hope to all ,thank you.

[@lsrose]

This guy Is amazing! His playing sounds like a full orchestra of the song! Don’t know how he managed such a beautiful piece except with lessons and long practices. I wonder if he uses sheet music at all.

[@ColeLam]

Thanks! No I don't use sheet music. I have perfect pitch so I create the arrangements myself from listening to the music

[@lsrose]

@@ColeLam I kind of figured that. What an amazing talent you have!

[@hitekdad]

Love it, Cole. You even looked 16 even though you weren't. You're back to getting great crowds again. I think it'll be shocking how much larger they become as you keep wowing every time.

[@bodhimayes]

A-ha is my fav band i have been trying for 2 years to get martens hair and i think i got it right now and i dress like him a lot

[@aaronsensei7637]

I still appreciate the sound. And yes definitely a crowd pleaser for sure. I love how you give everything your own Cole artistic twist. Awesome performance Cole.

[@mahal3269]

Impeccably talented! One of my favorite 80’s hits! He did so well. Great job Cole! ✨🎵

[@bodhimayes]

love aha

[@wunderkinder_wk]

👏👏👏 woohoo! You got this uploaded already! I was waiting for this since you uploaded a short one. Thanks for sharing Cole! 😊 The audio is ok! I saw the video of A-ha before, huge hit, massive crowd on streets! I didn't expect it will be that good on piano... But you always make any song special, young maestro! And It's not only piano, how did you bring the whole A-ha band with you?! Lovely song, a classic. Lovely performance lllooooddiiii! You brighten our day always! Grateful super fan here! 🖖 Salute!

[@boleap]

Cole, I started following a couple weeks ago and now every time I listen to the radio I find I’m saying to myself “What would this song sound like if Cole played it?!” You’re brilliant, humble and a once in a generation talent! Awesome rendition of a song from my childhood!

[@ColeLam]

Thank you! What's the last one you listened to on the radio?

[@boleap]

A ha! i just watched the beautiful duet with the 9yr old, this seems like during the same day. Very impressive how you can know so many songs fully on the fly!

[@soni245]

Fabuloso! Doy gracias q existan personas con ese TALENTO!

[@bobtoastmaster5442]

GREAT COLE, As Don and Ray have said, you always make each cover your own. This song is particular favourite of mine. It's not that I was a teenager when it came out, the sort of age group which is supposed to follow popular music. I was in fact 33 and managing 97 bank staff at the time. This was released in 1984 and I recall that A-Ha did hit the scene and were an overnight sensation. As the others have said, you really seemed to drawn the crowds on the day. Even better when they appreciate that they are getting a free concert. I sense that Jared and Theo were standing by there, also a bit in awe. Loved it.

[@a-great-fan-of-Cole-Lam]

Hello dear Cole, happy birthday and enjoy your life. I follow you already since years. You are amazing!

[@annebiebrich9155]

Absolutely ♥️loved ♥️ this ♥️ music without words speaks the loudest. 😊 Poetry in piano playing motion, my Mum played Classical music beautifully her hands were like lightening up and down the keys but gentle and melodic too. I don’t play I write poetry instead. Thank you posting this Cole Lam. 💫⚡️🙂

Wow the skill and speed in which you played the piano 🎹 was orsome 👏👏👏.Thanks for sharing and greetings from Beth and Simon ❤️ 🙋

[@donaddington6155]

Oh yes, it's ok, it's more than ok. You know Cole, one of the many things I love and appreciate about you is that when you cover (perform) a piece, you don't just recreate a work that we are already familiar with to one extent or the other, no, you take that piece and re-imagine it, re-work it, give it that "Cole Lam touch", and that's the reason I enjoy each and every performance, because even if its a song I wasn't originally thrilled with, you throw yourself into your own version and make it yours, quite often, imo, making it even better. btw, as I stated before, here 16 is the legal driving age, is it the same there, if so will you now be driving and possibly get your own car? If so please be careful. aa,Lyb,ssah❤❤❤👑of🎹👏👏👏

[@ColeLam]

Thanks Don!

[@williampaganucci1084]

That was great Cole! Public pianos are a wonderful thing. People get a free concert. I'm not on your level but I played pianos on sale at Costco in New Jersey and New York back in November. 🎹 👍

I am blown away! 😵 Still mad at my dad that we had to go right after you played. 😂 Maybe tomorrow if I see you at St Pancras (If you go to watch the Arsenal game) then I can see this in person!

[@ColeLam]

Sometimes if you have to go, you have to go! I will be at St Pancras probably around 12.30 (depends on travel and traffic) and will leave around 2pm. If you are there maybe we can swap in and out of the piano and also play together!
