I can't explain with words how I feel while listening this cover... This woman have a heaven's gift in her fingers, in her soul... thank you very much for your hard work...
Once you learn the fingerings, master the rhythms, get the chords right, nail the progression, you're not done. You've yet to master the feeling, the passion. Stop. Relax. Have a few glasses of wine. Think about that fiance. Serenade her with your fingers.
This is my favorite song, ever. I've been wanting to learn an instrument for awhile, but wasn't sure if I could keep myself motivated. I looked up the cover to this song to inspire myself, but most videos were just frustrating, like it wasn't quite there. This video makes me want to start learning now, and to learn to play this song be my ultimate goal. Thank you for inspiring me, that was amazing, and perfect.
EXACTLY! finally someone understands me, im a semi-pianist but i dont want fame and anything like that, literally when i hear any piano cover-melody i tear apart because being a pianist isnt just about fame it means passion for something you like and i really love the piano not for the fame and the difficulty I LOVE IT
I have no words. This is simply amazing, and it warmed my heart when I first heard it. This is the type of song that I would listen to on bad days, to cheer me up. Thank you for making this cover!
I don't usually comment on things but this is one of my favourite songs ever, and you made me fall in love with it even more with your beautiful playing. Thank you. You're a true talent
Only person I've ever seen on here that is spot on about the entire piano-playing machines part. In my experience, many pianists only play and teach to get money. Very few actually do it because they love what they do as a teacher and performer. Those rare few are the ones that pass on vital skills, like the skills Vika has with not only playing but emotion, to their students that make them special. Other teachers completely butcher the meaning of playing an instrument.
Vk got it going on!! Nobody plays it better than vk!! Everybody elses cover sounds like a cover of the song...shes smooth!! She flows different than everybody she not human lol thanks vk
It is easily seen that you are educated classical musician from east Europe, the way you play, playing technique you use is like a "trademark". Greetings form Poland.
As a average talented piano player I immediately saw that these cannot be the hands of some amateur. Beautifully done, you are giving all these subtle nuances to this peace of music... I wait for the people who want a video tutorial on this song xD.
Tears.....Gooseflesh....it's one thing to just hear it, but to watch her (you) play is quite another. I saw Tori Amos w/ Rufus Wainright in Vancouver @ queen E theatre some years ago, and have always loved Jackson Browne's piano stuff. I can do a couple things with 2 hands, but nothing with 10 fingers. Keep it up VK, you are 1 in a million
This is the best piano cover I have ever heard. I play piano myself and one day I hope I can be as good as you. You are amazing at what you do. I've showed so many people this cover since I found it a couple months ago. Keep doing what you are doing, you are truly amazing at piano.
HEY JAKE do you have the music sheets for this song? the reason for this question is that i really want to learn it and it would be sooo perfect if you had them. thanks
You are amazing. An exception. You must have been playing daily since you can remember. Unfair. I wish my parents got me into playing the piano as a child but better late than never.
@SunShinesBlack exactly, like I said its all about popularity and if you play popular chart music/r and B etc.. and it looks good you are automatically the best pianist in the world, sadly this is the mass opinon and its wrong and unfair, its a great shame.
what amazes me more than anything is all the songs vika plays without any sheet music.How is it possible so remember all the notes and all those songs?
Hi there! I would just like you to know that we danced to this music on my wedding day... This song is my Hubby's most favorite and you did a fantastic job on this cover! Keep it up and more power!
The OCD in me can't handle that only one of her sleeves is rolled up and not the other. I do love these videos though. This and Bohemian Rhapsody are my favourite. Hopefully one day she will do Whiter Shade of Pale
It's funny... I just started to listen to the regular version of this song today for some reason. Come to find you went and made a cover of it and posted it the same day. Great work as always :)
@UKpiano i almost fully agree, she's the best pianist on youtube i've seen so far. Generally though people who play pop on the piano generally get an image of being less skilled since the music they play often isn't very advanced ;)

One of the most beautiful songs on piano in my opinion, really comes together.
this is the best piano cover out there for iris !! :P Pure talent
pianodrew's version is better.

Lyrics
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

@Adam West did you take up piano then? 7 years of practice would make you a pretty competent player by now.
@@DKy0 9 years now :) I'm going to decide to belive he did and he's great now.
Ive been watching this woman for about 3 years now and still , she never ceases to amaze me.
The song is more emotional in piano than the original
Tetsuya Graal INDEED!!!! 😍😍😍
I don't agree
I think its both... Its just the way you like it... Maybe some people yes or maybe somepeople no. It depends ;)
I'm offended by the lack of defending the ones who could maybe be offended.
@@Earl_E_Burd ?
It's amazing how something as small as this, can inspire so many people.
You didn't shy away from the bluesy dissonant note thank you 👍👍
my wife walked down the isle to this version of this song! we love all of your songs vk
I'd give up forever to have this piano talent
Epic, genius, badass, pure perfection. Very few mortals can do what Vika does. I especially love this work of art here. As good as it gets.
EXACTLY! finally someone understands me, im a semi-pianist but i dont want fame and anything like that, literally when i hear any piano cover-melody i tear apart because being a pianist isnt just about fame it means passion for something you like and i really love the piano not for the fame and the difficulty I LOVE IT
those who chose thumbs down, don't understand the meaning of good music and don't appreciate how beautiful a piano cover makes a single song.
Her mastery of dynamics is amazing. Really want to start playing the piano again and this is great inspiration
I have no words. This is simply amazing, and it warmed my heart when I first heard it. This is the type of song that I would listen to on bad days, to cheer me up. Thank you for making this cover!
His fingers are so fast to change the keys quickly! Impressive! 👏❤️
She's actually a girl! Look at her other stuff to see for yourself!
Why are we talking about David Sides? This is HER video. Let's talk about how amazingly beautiful she played this song.
vika is worth her weight in gold. I've been uplifted countless times from hearing your covers.
I don't usually comment on things but this is one of my favourite songs ever, and you made me fall in love with it even more with your beautiful playing. Thank you. You're a true talent
Thank you very much
I love the way you start it of so mudled and then turn mor back to the orign for the break just genius
I think I am obsessed with the exact notes and rhythms. That's why I take years to learn something by ear...

I love your skills. Much respect
Started crying while listening to this...this is called talent my friend. Endless talent. Keep going Vk!
WOW! Bravo! Bravo! More awesomeness! Thank you again!
I hung on every key on this song. I just love the haunting melody. You did it perfectly.
That was wonderful. Way harder than the version I'm learning. So much extra voice.
i love the way you started the song
You are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent
literally gave me chills, so good
Never saw you playing without the sheets. You must really like this song
Vk got it going on!! Nobody plays it better than vk!! Everybody elses cover sounds like a cover of the song...shes smooth!! She flows different than everybody she not human lol thanks vk
Thank you !
This is the song I would listen to when I would feel lovesick for someone. It really sets the mood. Nice work!
It' been a longtime since I heard this song, and this has to be the best version I've heard, beautiful playing.
It is easily seen that you are educated classical musician from east Europe, the way you play, playing technique you use is like a "trademark".
Greetings form Poland.
Your art pleases my heart, the way you put it in the piano is just lovely, deep and explosive. Keep on Rocking VK! Best regards.
You have no idea how happy i was when i saw this in my subscription box. I love this song. And you played it beautifuly as always!
As a average talented piano player I immediately saw that these cannot be the hands of some amateur. Beautifully done, you are giving all these subtle nuances to this peace of music...
I wait for the people who want a video tutorial on this song xD.
I've seen them live twice and this song is always the best performance.
I wanna play like that someday. :0 it's so amazing i think i'm crying
how can someone dislike this
Just because there's always those creepers out there
Competitors, most likely.
Vika doesn't have competitors. She's kind of like the Chuck Norris of piano playing. :)
Jealous?
Because of 0:45
Tears.....Gooseflesh....it's one thing to just hear it, but to watch her (you) play is quite another.

I love this arrangement Vika! Keep up the great job you're doing!
This is the best piano cover I have ever heard. I play piano myself and one day I hope I can be as good as you. You are amazing at what you do. I've showed so many people this cover since I found it a couple months ago. Keep doing what you are doing, you are truly amazing at piano.
This is not even HER best piano cover let alone THE best piano cover.
HEY JAKE do you have the music sheets for this song? the reason for this question is that i really want to learn it and it would be sooo perfect if you had them.
thanks
I'm tearing up over here. Omg amazing.
You have captured every aspect Of this song. Amazing playing from start to end. Well done 🎵👍🎹🎶🎼
Why does this bring tears to my eyes? It brings memories to my mind. I don't know why.
You are amazing. An exception. You must have been playing daily since you can remember. Unfair. I wish my parents got me into playing the piano as a child but better late than never.
I love how VK said
“I didn’t think anyone would watch my videos”
:)
I forgot how much I liked this song. Thanks for the reminder.
this song is my favorite song in the whole wide world, and this cover itself has gotten me through my worst days. thank you vika.
Wow. Just wow. Im trying to learn this and I just got my preliminary certificate. I hope one day, I can play like you.
your choice of song is epic. your playing is staggering. amazing stuff
AwesomeGamer126 /// Daily Minecraft Videos daaaamnn, wtf your name bro?
So much beauty from this person can feel her heart beautiful.....
@SunShinesBlack exactly, like I said its all about popularity and if you play popular chart music/r and B etc.. and it looks good you are automatically the best pianist in the world, sadly this is the mass opinon and its wrong and unfair, its a great shame.
I could listen to this all day. Have to admit. Made me cry. But no shame in that.
4 haters? haters will always hate no matter how talented the person is.
i'd sell my soul to do what you do, your the best that ive seen in the 30 years of my existance
So...did you do it?
ayyyyy mama!!! hasta las fibras mas sensibles de mi cuerpo se estremecen al escuchar a esta mujer tocando el piano.. jejeje !!
what amazes me more than anything is all the songs vika plays without any sheet music.How is it possible so remember all the notes and all those songs?
Замечательно! Получил огромное удовольствие от прослушивания.
Hi there! I would just like you to know that we danced to this music on my wedding day... This song is my Hubby's most favorite and you did a fantastic job on this cover! Keep it up and more power!
22 people actually missed the thumb up button Vk is a genius I LOVE YOU VK!!!!
you are amazing!
pure, ambitious, dedicated, hard working american talent for you.. enough said.
Vika... Thank you! i havent thanked you in a while..... your music touches me... more than the orginals... i owe you somehow for these smiles
I am really impress. Mais quelle technique ! I wanna plays this way😪😪
This is unbelievable , greetz and respect from France .

I cried when I saw this....
I want to PLAY the way you do. *TEARS*
Literally, mind BLOWN!
You should seek out a doctor then, mate O-o
Jack Edström nah you see a doctor
This is absolutely outstanding. It made me so happy yet tearful at the same time. Amazing!
Amazing !!! I really enjoy your playing...keep playing on and on !!
Love this song, and you play it beautifully on the piano!
This is unbelievable
It gave me goose bumps as well.
ficou mesmo muito lindo. MARAVILHOSA mesmo!
até parece que as mãos dela tem vida própia!
vitoria dias é pianista prefirida
wowwww so fantastic!! Congrats vika!! Beautiful melody!! I like that
there could never be a better cover...
0:00 - 0:48 it looks easy 0:48 - the rest *throws piano out of window*
Natalia Acevedo exactly 😅😅😅😅
That's probably the easiest part
The OCD in me can't handle that only one of her sleeves is rolled up and not the other. I do love these videos though. This and Bohemian Rhapsody are my favourite. Hopefully one day she will do Whiter Shade of Pale
"Whiter Shade of Pale" would be an excellent piece for her to play.
Now you said it about the sleeves... NOW IT IS IDD REALLY UGHR WHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂
It's funny... I just started to listen to the regular version of this song today for some reason. Come to find you went and made a cover of it and posted it the same day.
Great work as always :)
this made me cry for the first time in months
One of my favorite songs ever :) And she just made it even better !
@UKpiano i almost fully agree, she's the best pianist on youtube i've seen so far. Generally though people who play pop on the piano generally get an image of being less skilled since the music they play often isn't very advanced ;)
holy.....crap....... you started playing and... i was speechless... amazing
goose bump from 01:49 til end.
There are a few usages of an F natural there where I usually hear an F#...but I still like it. It gives it more of a crunch texture. Well done!
I'm beginning to fall in love with your channel. Awesome study music!!!!
Haven't heard this song in a very long time. Beautiful as always, Vika. Thank you
best cover of this song out there
Ok... Just amazing... Really... Great...
No words can tell what I feel listening this....
one of my fav songs and you just made it better
i don't need to watch the video to know how you played this song!!! Awsome ever
Wow, this is so amazing! I have goosebumps everywhere!
This is magic
Best cover of my all time favorite song.
This cover is amazing. Please make sheet music for it!!! Thumbs up this so she sees it!!
do you have sheet music for this? huhu
