Don't Stop Believin' - Journey Piano Cover

[@DwanGarcez]

I always wonder what would the likes of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven or Chopin really think if they could listen to this modern piece of fantastic pop music.

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

I believe they would have a fascinated disdain for it 😆

[@grg537]

mozart is lower quality

[@DwanGarcez]

​@@grg537 that's just your wrong opinion. He's among the top3 or top4 greatest composers of all time in most people's lists.

[@just3047]

How can an opinion be wrong​@@DwanGarcez

[@DwanGarcez]

@@just3047 According to my point of view and the almost universal acclaim, his opinion is wrong. Do you think there are no right or wrong opinions?

[@jdubs-dragonfly]

The intricate amd complex rythms of this arrangement blew my mind. I wouldn't have picked up on it without the visualization. The subtle additions make this a video to watch over and over again.

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

Yes and those intricacies were an absolute pain to get programmed into my muscle memory! 😖

[@theidpboi6205]

this is absolutely brilliant! No idea why this doesn't have tens of thousands of views. Amazing job, seriously!

Of course! And thanks for reading the description instead of asking for sheets 🙃

[@tiefseetaucherr]

@@RyanZPianoGuyWell, some time has passed since. haha. I finally played the piece to the end the first time (yes i know it took long but I play piano like twice a week) but I am no where near the finish. Like some parts could be just some mess of notes thrown all together, but when I look into the video it all sounds so nice. I am gonna learn it so I can play it like you! I said that 4 months ago… You have some crazy skill going on there and where the hell did you learn it like that. See you in 6 months i guess!

[@BrianAndersonTT]

You are hella underrated my friend👏🏽 The vocals, the accelerating right hand guitar solo; just a spectacular truthful representation!

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

Thx man! It took way more work than I anticipated to get that way, but we got it done!

It could be the device you are watching on. For example, when KZbin videos are played on mobile devices the audio lags a little for some reason. I could watch the same video on my laptop and the audio is synced differently. Let me know if the device makes a difference

He took the midnight train going anywhere So they both took the same train and went to the same place. Gotcha! A singer in a smoky room What does the room smell like? Smell of wine and cheap perfume Those things smell bad. For a while they can share the night Okay. Uhhuh. It goes on and on And on and on Whoa, that’s really long. Strangers What are the strangers doing? Waiting Where? Up and down the boulevard Yeah, but what are Their shadows doing? Shadows searching In the night Is that the end of the song?

This is fun! Aah! My brother’s name is Gabriel. He lives in Sacramento. Working hard just to get my fill Do only some people want a thrill? Everybody wants a thrill That’s what I thought. Just double checking. Paying anything to roll The dice just one more time Does everyone win? Some will win Do some people lose? Some will lose Are some people born To sing the blues? Some are born to sing The blues Called it. Oh the movie never ends Wait, what movie? It goes on and on and on and on Long movie alert! Strangers Wait, the strangers are back? Waiting Where are they waiting now? Up and down the boulevard Are there still shadows? Shadows searching in the night Hey, you know what I miss? The streetlights! Streetlights Yes, they’re back! People No, go back to the streetlights! Living just to find emotion Who gives a crap? more streetlights Hiding somewhere in the night Fine, I guess I’m over the streetlights.
