Paul manages to capture Sade’s music. The piano is complex but he captures the melody with chords. I play Sade’s music wish I could capture it like Paul. Great job!
Thank you prometheus for your open-mindedness. Yes, there are examples on RUclips (none of them mine though) where a cover matches or exceeds the popularity of the song as first released.

Ah man. I've saved & listened this among my favorite RUclips videos for years now and still love it! Terrific arrangements that create such an intimate atmosphere. Thank you for sharing.
Paul I owe you a huge depth for this tutorial. I have learned so much in playing my fav Sade songs particularly " Is It A Crime. " I can barely see your right - hand for that twinkle part for the chord for the chorus " Is It A Crime. " I tried to play that part by ear and I don't think I'm quite getting it. I would love to see more of your right-hand for this song! Thanks again Paul - your playing is divine!
OH.... MY ..... GOSH .... WE NEED TO COLLAB!!! Dude listening to this must be what HEAVEN sounds like. I'm Sade's BIGGEST fan! Great JOB!!! Keep these vids going!!! Hope to hear more SADE tunes!
Paul you are a gift to upcoming piano players and songwriters like myself. Your piano tutorial on Sade's IS IT A CRIME is a labor of love but educational nonetheless!
@RSTAR2009 There is a lot of interest in learning these songs and I've only done a tutorial for the first one. I'm hoping to start getting sheet music published soon in which case I will make proper sheet versions of these. Thanks for your support and encouragement :)
I worshship you..JK. I grew up on Sade and always wished I could play just one of her songs. I wish you could show a more detailed chord progression, maybe lighted keys? Anyways ...You're awesome though. I'll just watch a million times and learn the hard way. How did you learn all these songs? How long you been tapping the keys?
Dam dude..Came here for smooth operator and u nailed it..But when the clock struck 2:13 you RIPPED my heart out brother.. Never heard that one and i was AFFRAID to after hearing this because i didint want to be disappointed..Very nice job buddy...
You're a great musician,and individuals,who dislike your video,s are simply unintelligent no purpose walkarounds listining to rock or rihanna beyonce and other crap that exists nowaday's,keep up this excellent work
@BipProductionsBeats The problem is that I have to rig up a different camera for the tutorials, it takes time to get it to focus correctly, then it takes ages to transfer it to the video editing software and put it all together; so unfortunately I cannot make tutorials that easily. Plus I'm generally pretty busy at the moment, I've only managed to push out one video in the last five weeks. I will do a batch of tutorials soon though and I'll include this one. Sorry again about the delay.
This may come, this may come as some surprise But I miss you I could see through all of your lies But still I miss you He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now She takes, but surely she doesn't know how Is it a crime? Is it a crime That I still want you? And I want you to want me too My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake My love is taller, taller than the Empire State It dives, it jumps, and it ripples like the deepest ocean I can't give you more than that, surely, you want me back Is it a crime? Is it a crime That I still want you? And I want you to want me too, mmm-mmm My love is wider than Victoria Lake Taller than the Empire State It dives, it jumps I can't give you more than that, surely, you want me back Is it a crime? Is it a crime That I still want you? And I want you to want me too, mmm-mmm It dives, it jumps, and it ripples like the deepest ocean I can't give you more than that, surely, you want it back Tell me, is it a crime?
Paul você é um fenômeno. Curto todos os seus vídeos.Vou tentar aprender a tocar.Faz tempo que tenho um humilde teclado e não sei nada.Acho que vou chegar lá. Um grande abraço desde São Carlos SP Brasil.
Ok - i'll try to squeeze it in next time I set up the camera for tutorials. It's sitting behind 4 other songs in the tutorial votes ranking so I'll have to get them out the way first.
@paulwwells: Paul you're a real smooth operator of the piano yourself! Even if it's a crime to perform these beautiful songs, please continue to play them with passion like you do. Just hang on to your love (which is obviously operating the piano like a smooth criminal). All the best to you! and don't waste precious time on jealous weirdos like this mrJim. Thanks for taking the time to create the tutorials of these songs!
Damn that was great! A piano well played is so pleasing to the ear. BTW, do you by any chance have "ain't no mountain high?" It would sound great on your keyboards.
Very nice medley! Actually i'm working on your tutorial,is it a crime! Very nice song.But i'm stilla begginer at keyboard:started 6 month ago with piano for all lessons.
Thanks Objetivoyrealista - I tend to avoid straight repetition preferring to put related songs together like this. If there was any variation I could have made I would have put it in.
Hi I'm New Here Glad you liked it . I've just run a search for Beatles let it be piano - there must be a hundred or so; I'm going to try to cover some of the stuff which works well but which no-one else has done then do more mainstream stuff. Thanks for the suggestion anyway :)
Paul manages to capture Sade’s music. The piano is complex but he captures the melody with chords. I play Sade’s music wish I could capture it like Paul. Great job!
Thank you for your encouraging words.
The Hang on to Your Love cover was mesmerizing
Thank youTomas :)
Paul, you're one of the few people who's covers I sometimes like more than the original.
Thank you prometheus for your open-mindedness. Yes, there are examples on RUclips (none of them mine though) where a cover matches or exceeds the popularity of the song as first released.
Thank you! I love IS IT A CRIME especially the chorus and the solo parts. You played it all beautifully!

She takes, but surely she doesn't know how
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime
That I still want you?
And I want you to want me too
My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
My love is taller, taller than the Empire State
It dives, it jumps, and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely, you want me back
