Piano Variations

Succession - Variations on a theme

Hi dear Patrons,

Once on a while, I hear a tune and I get really excited about all the opportunities and possibilities there are, and this time I decided to do something without. there is an entire album around this theme from the hit show, ...

James Morrison - Broken Strings

Hi dear Patrons,

Another request filled, and this one was fun to do! Good song, and I realised again that James Morrison made a lot of beautiful songs, which was an added bonus. I hope you like my version, and as always, I've left the wav an...

Keane - This is the last time

Hi Friends, 

Hope you like my version of the third Keane song of this channel! Great band with great tunes.  Hope I did it justice. 

All the best, 

Marcel

A-Ha - Take on me

Hi dear Patrons,

What a classic this is, there's classics and then there's the mother of classics category, which I just made up and also I think it belongs to that set of songs. So familiar, so enticing and won't get out of your head. I'm s...

Creedance Clearwater Revival - Have you ever seen the rain

Hi dear Patrons,

This is probably the longest title of a post :) And a classic that is at least 15 years older than yours truly. Classic for a reason though, and not the only one.. Hope you like my version. Written in C and pretty simple pat...

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine

Bit of a classic vibe these days with some old ones "crossed off" the list. Hope you like my version of this calm but legendary song. I've kept it simple, just like the real version.

If you have suggestions or tips let me know!

As alwa...

Tom Petty - I won't back down

Hi dear Patrons,

Love the message of this song, never back down, never! Beautiful tune as well, and got into a royalty dispute with Sam Smith because Stay with me was so similar (also did that one, maybe this is why it sounded so familiar......

Christina Aguilera - Hurt

Hi dear Patrons,

Happy new year! I started out with a request immediately, and what a beautiful song this is. Didn't add anything because it would only undue the beauty of the chords. Hope you like, it, kept it super simple. 

I've...

Gwen Stefani - Make you like me

Hi dear Patrons,

Christmas edition - and you know I don't do the Christmas songs :-) By very popular request this one, couldn't not do it anymore. Hope you like my version. 

As always, thank you for all the support, I really appre...

SIA - Floating through space

By popular demand, one of my favourite songs.. .I listen to it as I leave work almost every day. We made it through another day, those are words that hit home. Hope you like my piano version, as always I've left the wav and mid file attached.

Pink - All out of fight

Pink over the years has made some beautiful songs, so it's always a pleasure to see one of those appear. I tried my best here, hope you like it! Maybe I once do a compilation of specific artists. If that's the case, Pink would definitely qualify.....

One Republic - Counting Stars

Love this song, and I heard a quiet version of it on the radio the other day, which inspired me to try it myself. Hope you like my version, I think it's lends itself pretty well for a piano cover. 

As always, thanks a lot for the help, ...

Ronan Keating - If tomorrow never comes

Beautiful song, and a very happy request fulfilled. Hope you like my version, but with time I sort of forgot the beauty of this man's voice.. maybe that's the reason I also liked boy zone.... who knows.. anyway, I really like his sound so I'm not ...

Declan Donovan - Giants

Hi dear Patrons,

A slightly less known request this time, but boy did I like the song, so I made quick work of it! Hope it blows up (the song that is, not necessarily my cover although wouldn't that be something, that my piano version makes ...

Lighthouse Family - High

Hi dear Patrons,

It's been a while since my last song, but I've been moving (or put in other excuses for not playing a song). But of course I would never stop playing these songs, and therefore, here's the lighthouse family! Crazy familiar s...

Billie Eilish - What was I made for

Hi dear Patrons,

The Barbie song, I haven't seen the movie yet, but the Billie Eilish - movie song combination has been successful in the past, so I get they went with her for a blockbuster. The songs are usually high quality too, and I kind...

Keane - Everybody's Changing

Hi Friends,

I'm a bit of a Keane trip down memory lane, and these songs lend themselves greatly for a piano version! Beautiful melodies, really, fun to play! Hope you like my version for this one, I've lef the wav and mid file in the attachm...

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

Old one, 1997 that's more than 25 years ago, which is confronting...

Very sticky song though for some reason, so happy to get it crossed off the long list! If you have more suggestions feel free always happy to add names! Hope you like this ...

Goldford - Walk with me

Hi dear Patrons,

I was surprised to find out this song was relatively new. For some reason it feels older, which I guess is a good thing! As always I've left the midi and wav file to the post. If you have questions, of course feel free to re...

James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover

Hi dear Patrons,

I doubled down on James Blunt, so here's the next one :) Beautiful song actually in its simplicity, and I tried to put the little theme while stuffing my left hand through the tone of the right in the middle of the verse, en...

James Blunt - 1973

Hi dear Patrons,

I'm gonna be blunt, again! :) Great song, this and for once not a tip or request, but something I heard on the radio! It's from 2007 it turns out, so quite old... more so than I thought. 

I hope you like my versio...

John Mayer - Perfectly Lonely

Hi dear Patrons,

This one is to remind ourselves that it's very much okay to be alone with ourselves from time to time, and of course it was also a nice song to cover. Hope you like my version!

I've left the wav and mid file attached t...

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

Hi dear Patrons,

Awesome song with a kind of hypnotic left hand, especially in the beginning. Good one to train the consistency of rhythm! Hope you like my version. I have left the midi and wav file to this post, let me know if you have ques...

Evanescence - My Immortal

Hi Dear Patron,

I'm taking a bit of a tour through my childhood here with those early 2000's songs. Hope you enjoy the tour with me, let me know if I help in anyway

I've left the mid and wav file attached below. Thank you for the suppo...

I like you so much

Delayed upload!

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

Another tip from the great unknown, this time a visitor! I heard him play the song and thought, that'd be a good one! And here it is. Apparently almost 20 years old.. which is just a reminder of how old I feel on a daily basis, but that shouldn't ...

Adele - Fire to the rain

Her n1 song on Spotify, and I didn't play it so far. I have to be honest and say that I've been bombarded with Adele songs when they came out to the extend that it took me more than a decade to re-appreciate them. This is clearly a shame, because ...

Michael Schult - Waterfal

Hi Patrons, 

This one is catchy, so I could not resist playing when I got the request.. not a hard song at all, great for beginners! Hope you like my version. I've left the wav and mid file in this post. If you have questions please rea...

Coldplay - The Scientist

It's been 3 years since I did a song by Coldplay, but they're playing in my home town tonight. In fact, I can actually hear them perform live as I'm typing this, so this song today seemed appropriate. 

Hope you like my simple version of...

Rosa Linn - Snap

Snap,

This is one where I really really kept it simple, so not sure what you think of it, but the song itself is not bombastic at all, so to stuff it with many techniques seemed inappropriate. Hope you like it. Let me know if you have sugges...
