Andrew, I have the lyric sheet in front of me. Exactly how many seconds in on this video does the verse begin? I'm having trouble just figuring out where the words start. Thanks

So beautiful, even only piano parts though. I do love this sound. Thank you!

[@Mario-xr3jo]

This is PURE MAGIC! Thank you so much! If only I had seen this tutorial in the 80's, I would have definitely learned to play it. I got the sheet music instead, but reading the musical notation was way too painstaking for me. So I only learned some part of it.

[@MrChocman]

Where did you get it, i cannot find a sheet music as accurate as this

[@Mario-xr3jo]

@@MrChocman I'm quite slow at sight reading while playing piano, so don't use sheet music often. Tutorials like this are perfect for me. As far as I can remember, I got sheet music for this one in one of music shops in the UK in the 90's.

thanks Piano Vampire. This helps, but what no one is showing is the vocal that goes with the verse. The verses of this song are not melodically distinct, which makes it hard to learn. It would be a lot more helpful if the vocal was included with the piano arrangement being displayed. The chorus is more distinct, but there's not much of a hook even in the chorus. Ultimate Guitar Chords shows a "pre chorus" and a "chorus", which sort of makes my point, that there's very little hook in this tune, no definite resolve, which adds to the complexity. That may be why some people like the song, but try to learn it if you're not that experienced.

[@Mario-xr3jo]

Oh, please, Piano Vampire! Never ever add any vocal to it. It would only ruin this immaculate instrumental version!

[@Mcode11Youtube]

Awesome but why is this audio so quiet?

[@cristianoalmeida6886]

Yeah

[@Mario-xr3jo]

But the keyboard is quite clear, isn't it? It's only a manual, not a Hi-Fi stereo system. When you finally learn how to play, you can do it as loud as you like.

Lyrics: He came from somewhere back in her long ago The sentimental fool don't see Tryin' hard to recreate What had yet to be created once in her life She musters a smile For his nostalgic tale Never coming near what he wanted to say Only to realize It never really was She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing And nothing at all keeps sending him... Somewhere back in her long ago Where he can still believe there's a place in her life Someday, somewhere, she will return She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing There's nothing at all But what a fool believes he sees...

In fact "She came"...

Is it really so hard to play the original recording (with Michael singing) and compare? After all, you must have some ears for music if you sing at all....

[@iurikorolev]

Amazing...but audio is too low

[@Mcode11Youtube]

Agreed

[@ltpaddy5]

I think this left hand is the bass player and not Michael's left hand, makes an already difficult song darn near impossible. Pretty sure the left hand is simple octaves through most of the prechorus and chorus.

[@culturedslob]

You’re right, but I was surprised to see just how much of the bassline IS actually played on piano left hand according to a copy of sheet music I found. Pretty hard tune

[@tompastian3447]

You're right, "what a fool believes is difficult. I'm just trying to learn the right hand part, forget the bass all together. Let the bass guitar player learn the bass part. This song has some inherent problems when it comes to learning; no distinct melody line in the verses, a pre chorus and a chorus, both with not much of a hook, and no clear resolve. It's more of a jazz song than a pop song.

[@Mario-xr3jo]

There are so many videos with Michael playing the keyboard (while singing) that it should not be too difficult to verify...

[@DudeMannn]

Why so much echo. Wow. The actual piano playing is perfect and brilliant. But, the original song doesn't have all that echo. That is what makes that song a classic. It has a compact and sharp piano sound.

[@Spiffier]

this is just a midi file uploaded so people can learn the song, the program plays itself with default sounds Edit: check out sheet music boss on YT you'll see what i mean
