The Proclaimers - I'M GONNA BE (500 MILES) - Wedding Version | Piano Cover by Paul Hankinson

[@daved8551]

YES!!!!!! A WEDDING VERSION!!! this is such a great song - 500 aisles!! 😋😋 what a great way to end a Tuesday. Thanks Paul! 😁

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

But I would walk 500 aisles and I would walk 500 more, Just to be the bride who walked a thousand aisles to say "I do" once more! .... Glad you like this one Dave!! This song was such a HUGE Number 1 hit in Australia in 1990 - it was so nice to re-visit it and to realise how beautiful it really is underneath. Hope your Wednesday is even better than your Tuesday Dave! Thursdays and Saturdays are my favourite days.. I don't know why or how but they always seem to be the best. 😊

[@daved8551]

@@PaulHankinsonMusic hahaha your lyrics are ALMOST as great as your piano skills, Paul!!! 😁😁. You have a great rest of your week as well! For me, Fridays are like a giant exhale before the wonderful slide into the weekend.... so im holding out for Friday! Hahaha. 😋

Our wedding has been postponed 3 times due to the pandemic (a postponed wedding is the least of the world's troubles, we know, & we're eternally grateful to still have our health!). On a positive note it now means we get to hear this beautiful piano version of one of the most underrated songs. Thank you for your mesmerising talent, Paul. 🥰😘

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Oh thanks Alison!! Hope you’ll be walking that aisle soon! Glad you like this one! Postponing 3 times is really tough! ❤️

[@lucaschmidmusic]

I actually never heard such a beautiful interpretation of this song.... EVER This is just amazing. The way you arrange your pieces is astonishing every time. Keep it up

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Thanks so much Luca!! I need to get back to you on insta - sorry I've just been working a lot. Today I want to finish arranging my next piece but later in the week let's have a chat na endlich! Hope you're going well and feeling motivated and inspired. ❤️

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

oh thanks so much! Kind comments like yours make my day! ❤️

[@Truus1949]

Then we have both our day 😁

[@lindago3747]

Moved me to tears (happy tears though!). As a person in a long distance relationship (NL - GER) during Corona times, this really got me. Always having this uncertainty at the moment if regulations change and you can't see your loved one for a long time. We've been really lucky so far though. :) This reminded me of how we can always count on each other even if we're far away. Would love to have this version of the song playing at our wedding one day!

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Yes it's certainly been a difficult and uncertain time. Wish you and your love all the best and hope you can be together more often soon - I actually live in Berlin so who knows... maybe I can play it for you live at your wedding one day! ❤️

[@lindago3747]

@@PaulHankinsonMusic That would be amazing! And thank you very much for your kind words. :)

[@duanespiano]

This is so lovely & soulful, sir Paul. Looking forward to your future wedding covers : ) I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Thanks Duane! You are lovely and soulful too! 😊 What pieces are you working on at the moment? 🎹

[@duanespiano]

Ohh thanks, Sir😅 I stopped on memorising pieces. I'm now trying to improve my sight-reading, techniques, and scales with Alfred's Adult Basic book. I also set a schedule on when to practice the piano (30mins - 1 hour) because I've fallen behind in school with bad grades😂 and btw I'm also working on to cure my phone addiction.

[@mehpainter]

This is great! Good job Paul you covered one of my favorite songs and made it sound even more emotional than it originally was, thank you for maki g such a good cover!

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

It is such a great song - it was really a joy to cover it - especially because I was making it for Ryan and Sam for their wedding! ❤️ Glad you like it, thank you!!

And you seem to be a really kind and fun and good-hearted guy - wish you a great day! Sun is shining in Berlin. ❤️😊🎹

[@harleyfrench9364]

@@PaulHankinsonMusic Thank you so much mate. My grandad lent me a keyboard which I learnt 'can you feel the love tonight' and the start of 'let it be'. Unfortunately it had to go to my cousin when he passed away. Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate that. I feel asleep to your spotify last night. Have a lovely day.

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Harley French sorry to hear you lost your grandad ❤️ ... hope another keyboard comes your way soon so you can continue playing and learning. In the meantime - I’ll play you lullabies anytime 😊

[@broganelbers2184]

This has been my dream processional for the last 2 years as I have been planning my wedding. I was struggling to find a cover that fit what I was looking for. I looked for months and months and when this was posted I lost my mind. It’s SO PERFECT! Can you please post on Spotify 🙏🏼 I get married in 2 weeks!!!

Is this version on Spotify?- I found so many of your covers but really love this one and would like to add to a playlist!

[@KB-ri5qf]

Absolutely stunning. Have you uploaded this version to your Spotify channel? I had hoped to add it to my playlist but did not see it. This song is beautiful!

[@JohnDonasco]

This is so beautiful! Did you use a VST for this, and what VST if ever? It sounded so lovely!

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Thanks so much John! I have a Yamaha Upright piano with the SH Silent System built in so I record onto a usb stick directly from the piano. It’s a sample of a Yamaha CFX concert grand - I really love it. I then add some reverb (QL Spaces) in Pro Tools

Thanks Jamie!

[@willkinney5051]

I feel like there’s a major Scottish influence in this arrangement. The proclaimers are from Scotland, right? Beautiful and brilliant work- I love these wedding arrangements, Paul... wonderfully well done.

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Thanks so much Will! They are indeed brothers from Scotland! So I guess there is that kind of Scottish folk or Celtic influence in the way I arranged it - I love that style of music. Glad you're enjoying my work - thanks so much for your kind words! 😊

[@willkinney5051]

@@PaulHankinsonMusic I love your arrangements! I've even bought a few of them, in the hopes that I can start playing again in the future. I miss playing piano... But life's just been so hectic. Your wedding arrangements in particular- sometimes I listen to them before bed after a tough day. Music heals the soul, man... Your work is no exception, but definitely exceptional!

the beginning sounds like a pachebel's canon

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

that's because it IS Pachelbel's Canon 😊 ... My "Wedding Versions" usually include some Canon in D moments - listen at 1:15 and there it is again.. and also at the end. Hope you like it! Thanks for listening! ❤️

[@joscelyncouch3499]

Oh my goodness. If you could do Faithfully by Journey for myself (Joscelyn) and my boyfriend Darius I would bawl. Its been our song since we've met.

[@cautiouslyhopeful]

Erm. Sorry but u can't call every song a wedding version just by jamming canon in d into it. This one sounded forced. Don't get me wrong, you play beautifully. This just didn't fit.
