[@jordancunnington259]

Gorgeous song and piano!

[@apalinkas]

THIS is exactly how I think it should be played on piano. It's so so SO good and makes me cry every time I listen!! I've always loved this song as an up-beat pop song but thought the bones of the song lends to a more soulful rendition and you completely mastered it. Very very beautiful!

[@michaelkawamura9296]

Great variety in dynamics, and fairly complex, but not overkill (filled with filler arpeggio like most "hard" covers, holding sustain pedals, etc...). Great piano playing!

[@gregghill4075]

I've seen Toto live many times. This has me in tears! Brilliant!!

[@MarkBowenPiano]

Very nicely played. Well done. I'm sure some people will moan as it's slower than the original but I think it works nicely here. Nice to hear a different take on such an iconic piece by the best band / musicians ever.

[@chrisvandale6413]

Metal guy here..let me elaborate heavy, heavy metal guy here. Love the 80's Toto original and a couple of the metal/rock versions on here. Indeed it is a bit slower, but I wouldn't ask for this guy to play it any other way. Hearing that bellow going into the chorus the second time. Gooodd Night...oddly enough at that exact moment my allergies went nuts and my eyes started to water up..you know bc the allergies 😉

[@alex-plays8407]

Huge thanks for releasing the score for this excellent arrangement. Though you have shown wonderful modesty, here, I suspect that we are all in agreement that this is not merely 'another cover'. Welcome back, Blake.

[@Pianomusings]

:) Thank you!

[@JjGabrielPianist]

your rendition is really different than all the covers out here on the internet , and I love it !!!

[@ponderingmusic]

a beautiful rendition of one's struggle with life

[@JjGabrielPianist]

man this is amazing

[@nonagonproductions]

The emotion and dedication in his face for such a passion about Africa by Toto ❤️

[@Xavier_Denzel]

My wife walked down the aisle to your rendition. Thank you for this.

[@mattcookie]

I like that you slowed it down, I think it works much better that way on a piano like this with a lot heavy sustain, I do that a lot covering pop songs too XD, love this!

[@socang13]

Coming again to listen to this arrangement. It works so good, it make me feel so much.. thanks!

[@VincentvandenAkker]

great dynamicly played! this was i looking for!

[@erinberndt]

My god, this is the most beautiful version I have ever heard.

[@WatermelonMoon260]

This is great. I can see so well how passionate you are in the song. It's a great take on a classic, and you made it your own. I noticed in the chorus you really felt that second chord the C# minor. I was able to feel what you felt and only great musicians and pieces achieve this effect. The syncopated beats as well changes in dynamics really wrap it up in a bow. Great job, I enjoyed

[@Koru-Health]

So much emotion! Well done!

[@pianodrew]

Always great to see you on the grand. A faultless cover, once again. :)

[@peacetinashekwinjo9061]

This was absolutely amazing. I had shivers hearing this. Good job!

[@skykravitz7103]

[@AJHirsch]

So amazing. I've been following your channel since 2009 when I was 15 and just started learning piano. 11 years later I still come back to your videos for inspiration and great music. Hope you're well during this pandemic. Can't wait for more videos in the future!!

[@Pianomusings]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Stay safe.

Thanks Ingrid! And thanks for all the nice comments.

[@banacek8675]

Love what you did there at 3:02

[@xxg0dnatxx663]

powerful!!!

[@carlenemegan]

Pianomusings- this is gorgeous! Is there any chance you could video record this from and above angle so I can see the keys and your fingers so I can learn it?

[@chrismccarron7519]

Amazing cover - makes me want to go get my 1850s Bechstein IV tuned up and just let my fingers fly. Thank you for bringing some joy to my day in this world of shit. chaos, and awful music we're living under. I really enjoyed your cover of this piece.

[@rafaelbarrientos9020]

simplemente inspirador genial ...saludes Costa Rica

[@pearll.a358]

Greetings from Nicaragua ; )

[@nabildoumani4540]

Excellent!

[@glendamarcelin1009]

This is a beautiful cover of Africa. Can you please do "Shark in the Water" by VV Brown next?

[@МайяГладилина]

Классно , просто SUPER ! :)

[@achayahyisreal9555]

Niceeee God bless the rain out in Africa the latter reign

[@PeaceNinja007]

Is that a Yamaha? Sounds a little too bright and “metallic” for my personal liking. Other than that, I love your playing style! :)

[@BenStuff]

Are you playing in a different key? Also if there was a sheet of this it would be amazing! Your version is absolutely stunning and I would love to play it myself! Giving you full credits of course.

[@sammrguy03]

Ben it’s a different key, this arrangement is in b minor but the original one is in C# minor

[@francescotallarico1663]

can u make some sheets. i would buy them

[@ulissesrafaeldasilva]

Muito bom ❤️👏🏼🙏🏼

[@Motocrossloversz]

I want this on my wedding! ❤

[@marcosalcaldecellist]

Where I can get the scores from exactly this cover? I will be so happy for help!

[@darrenkascht7164]

Wow!!! That was fantastic! It really makes me want to kick myself for quitting piano when I was a kid! Just fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@AnimeVampireChic]

Love it!!!!

[@John-xh2mq]

muito bom ( very good)

[@str8channel]

Sweet!

[@TheBroadcastStudio365]

Bravo. Sorry that you don't upload anymore.

[@pianosenzanima1]

very nice! 9999 subs...congrats!!!

[@patrickcauchi128]

any sheet music for this song?

[@druskazmogis]

goosebumps :)

[@vincevega1000]

Very Cool

[@banacek8675]

Is there a way to purchase the midi file for this rendition?

[@banacek8675]

More specifically, if I buy the music notes file, would I be able to play it in synthesia?

[@VGHSyntheticOrchestra]

Get more active, my man! You play wonderfully. This was better than your original recording.

[@Pianomusings]

Thank you. Much appreciated!

[@toddflynn6996]

Where was this

[@bp-ik7lz]

Would it be possible to have the sheet music for this? Would love to play your version. I checked your website but couldnt find it

[@Pianomusings]

Sorry, I don't have the sheets for this one.

[@bp-ik7lz]

pianomusings dang thats a shame... Ever since i saw your version on the roland fantom i've been searching for it. Best piano cover by far on youtube

[@RL82]

Ben Parellada the chords are simple enough for this song. It's all in how you interpret the music personally. Get the chords online and mess around with them.

[@bp-ik7lz]

Rich Lucey thanks mate! will look around

[@nudolsnormandia5045]

Beautifull¡¡

[@BMcKenna]

❤

[@joaopedrodecarvalhomagalha7144]

It sounds exactly like the original one if you speed up the video to 1.25 :D

[@Rampaigee]

wow!!!!!!

[@francescocossentino4981]

too much pedal??

[@tiberiusclaudiusnerogermanicis]

Fucking beautiful!

[@buddry538]

This fuckin dude is legit!!

[@Региналайкусик]

Awesome.Im from Russia:)

[@AlainChomik]

Very great cover ! I wish you all the best in 2017 for you, your family and all your friends ;-) Alain

[@Pianomusings]

Thanks! And same to you!

[@lsbigelow1857]

Ah to be in 2017 again not knowing 2020 would go down in history.

[@niezapominajka90]

nice:)

[@tonybarnhill808]

But the intro isn't in 7/4. You're cutting it short by a full beat each time.

[@Pianomusings]

That's true.

[@TheIronDuke9]

Excellent! All the other covers play it way too fast.

[@alaino4185]

Excellent but the number one is Peter Bence for this song... IMHO

[@itsjeremiah444]

Different key but still good

[@vincevega1000]

Unbelievable I tell you!

[@lawrencehollenbachmatiuzzi1290]

This is stunning!! Amazingly well played! But tell me, is this masterpiece a Bosendorfer?

[@enhypedup]

1.25

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

I wish Liszt was still alive.. just to play all the good modern songs for me on a piano.

[@aaronfonseca6031]

Play at 1.25x speed

[@Pastechi]

who ever those 24 people are who hit dislike..how could u?

[@otoñal3equinox]

put on 1.25x for a ride

[@TheWhiteHattedGamer]

first

[@Pianomusings]

nice

[@nguyenthaotruongvinh3568]

akidearest

[@leeleecorbitt8774]

spycakes

[@dadangbeceng887]

6 people dont know music at all

[@yaboicarter21]

Wrong key buddy

[@markusmittwoch1398]

But sounds great.

[@BradSD25]

Didn't like it. Left out the best part (the solo) and was kinda boring overall :(

[@Pianomusings]

Good point! I agree!

[@stevedegaal4963]

wrong key

[@Pianomusings]

Sincere apologies!

[@olegmakarov7877]

Much ado about nothing

[@stitchyduck]

You're missing a lot of beats on the intro; try playing along to the actual song and you'll see what I mean.

[@Pianomusings]

Agree!

[@janicknorman9396]

Too slow man.
