This is nothing short of amazing! I love the fact that you've included a MIDI file in the video description. It's extremely helpful for those (like me) who have a hard time understanding sheet music. Great job!
Mafija123 Uhm... I watched the whole video exactly, and the song isn´t that difficult. I´m not that good at playing, but it still won´t be too difficult to play it. Of course, learning to play it flawlessly and without looking at the sheet is another question.
Gui Caldo Playing the melody in fifths (?) is pretty hard, in my opinion, especially with this speed. The fast things upward shouldn't be much of a problem though.
As a kid I hated practising piano...but listening to this and your other pieces made me so glad my parents forced me into it. Thanks for the inspiration mate! :)
The piano is my favorite instrument. You can either make something really complex of really simple. Its not like most other instruments where you can only play a few notes at a time. With the piano, you can get a friend and make something exceptionally beautiful. Well done Mark.
Dear UKpiano, My name is Julien, I'm 14 and spent nearly my entire life learning songs like this by ear. Some of them sound ok, But i still can't mannage to be as good as you. When i hear the songs i try to lear, i can replay it in my mind perfectly, and hear every single note in my head. I just started taking lessions, and can bearly read notes. But my teacher said i have very special talent. Please tell me how you got to where you are today, tips, advice, anything please. I'm a huge fan :)
@@wargodanubis8074 i still practice regularly. I'd say i'm substantially better than i was 8 years ago, but still not where i want to be. I fell out of lessons almost as soon as a started, and still can't read sheet music lol
I love this song, but I love how you bring a softness to it at the end, you're the only one I have seen do that and I think its genius in its simplicity.
I have heard this for months, years, but everytime I re-hear it, is like the first time. Absolutely a masterpiece of TSFH, and absolutely my favourite!
You are a truely remarkable pianist! It is incredible that you can play a whole TSFH song. You deserve a lot more subs and awareness than you actually receive from the amount of hard work and dedication you put into your videos.
Your TSFH songs keep me motivated and after playing this song for roughly 2 years now (along with others) I can now play it (closely) to your level. Thanks.
tried and failed at that :( it just does not seem to work on piano very well unfortunately, I couldnt get it to the standard of my other arrangements by TSFH,
Mark Fowler It seems to me that there are only about 4 different parts in that one (Hopefully, or my saxophone ensemble arrangements of it need work lol). Perhaps a separate video for each part all synced together? Anyway, fantastic job man. Love your videos.
I've had the MIDI and Synthesia tutorial up for Magic Of Love for like 3 months, I am suprised how less the video is viewed compared to my other TSFH videos. It's one of the best TSFH songs, and one of the best MIDI's I've made. However, Strength Of A Thousand Men, Nero, and To Glory are one of the most watched videos.
Aw man. I'm a ostrich how can I play this now with only two feet? Oh well I'm happy I can run faster than a horse. 55 miles per hour baby!! Dafuq just happened? I got a little off topic
That was absolutely beautiful. You'r rendition of what is possibly my favorite song of all time made me feel emotional, I actually felt kinda sad at the slower parts. Congratulations, because you are the first person on one instrument to make me feel that way.
So far I have learned this song and heart of courage. They are my favorite two so far. Protectors of the earth is not exactly my cup of tea. Keep it up, it is people like you that keep me going on piano. :)
It is wonderful, but it is missing....something? Can't quite tell, but this is still impressive and amazing on piano. He did it the best, but SOATM can't quite be played on a piano perfectly
J'ai un coup de coeur pour cette version. Tu as parfaitement joué cette musique comme si elle venait de toi. Et j'adore comment tu la finis, tout en douceur.
I did a cover of this with your sheets, too. I love the fact that you play this by ear, because that makes your performance so much more unique than somebody playing with sheets.

I just made a private playlist with this song and set it on replay while playing cs:go.
Ultimate Lego Machines But then how can you hear footsteps or your fellow russians saying "cyka blyat".
Talented and modest.
There isn't much more the world could ask from you.
I can play this easily.... the video i mean.
Diu Dau Good one. Thumbs Up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
YEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS : D
TheLegend Twentyseven *face palms*

How the HELL can you dislike this? I mean my goodness this is fantastic!
There is always them guys who dont like good music :/
Bungeenator There are also guys who go "DAYUM I CANT LEARN THIS BUUUUUUUUUUULSHIET". Just sayin.
Trolls man, trolls.
I agree
they are just jealous
1:24 I want this part played at my funeral :p
+WiseAndThompsonTV i want part 0:28 played at my funeral. XDD
I want 2:38 at my funeral :3
+WiseAndThompsonTV I want it all at my funeral
:)
+WiseAndThompsonTV blackheart i would like =) especially the end part of it
I love your interpretation of TSFH; possibly the best YT channel I have subbed to.
Thanks for that
Mark Fowler would even be better if you had a transcriber that could do sheet music and put it on here :P
Mark Fowler you are god piano
Mafija123 Uhm... I watched the whole video exactly, and the song isn´t that difficult. I´m not that good at playing, but it still won´t be too difficult to play it. Of course, learning to play it flawlessly and without looking at the sheet is another question.

You deserve more subscribers.
+alan vang i know i do....
oh wait you wern't talking to me
XD
Класс ! молодец! душу захватывает.
Wish we could hear more of this kind of music on the radio and other media
As a kid I hated practising piano...but listening to this and your other pieces made me so glad my parents forced me into it. Thanks for the inspiration mate! :)
Exactly what I imagined it would sound when I clicked this video. Beautiful!
The piano is my favorite instrument. You can either make something really complex of really simple. Its not like most other instruments where you can only play a few notes at a time. With the piano, you can get a friend and make something exceptionally beautiful. Well done Mark.
I truly enjoyed this piece. The beautiful sound of piano makes my soul feel exhilarated. Hats off to you and thank you.
Oh my god... This is beyond excellent. My good sir, I salute you. Keep fighting the good fight.
RUclips's shitty audio quality isn't worthy of the this awesomeness.. If only this was on Spotify :/
The difference is negligible though
Mark Fowler Haha completely noticable if you have good headphones though :) love your vids
+Fluffy Greyfoot I agree. My speakers couldn't handle the awesomeness either... -.-
+Fluffy Greyfoot you got spotify premium?
yep

SON WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU!!!!!! DID YOU BECOME THE GOD OF PIANO YET!!!
@@wargodanubis8074 i still practice regularly. I'd say i'm substantially better than i was 8 years ago, but still not where i want to be. I fell out of lessons almost as soon as a started, and still can't read sheet music lol
You are awesome!
After 5 years, you still top all of the other covers!! Still my favorite songs to play
You put so emotion in your covers, as TSFH has so much emotion in their pieces the two things combined really is a emotionally evoking experience :D
Not only the music, but the way his hands move is just... epic and graceful. Can't. Stop. Watching
Благодарю Бога за такую музыку. Thanx God for that music
I love this song, but I love how you bring a softness to it at the end, you're the only one I have seen do that and I think its genius in its simplicity.
Exceptional skill and talent.
Respect :-)
I *sooo* love the quieter and slower "outro" rendition of the main motif. Great playing indeed.
Fantastic! You are a true talent!
I have heard this for months, years, but everytime I re-hear it, is like the first time.
Absolutely a masterpiece of TSFH, and absolutely my favourite!
Strength of a Thousand men is the best two steps from hell song
Depends on the situation
What do you mean?
Do you mean the remix version?
Justin Jones Generally, TSFH Music goes with certain scenes or settings. SoaTM usually goes as a pre-battle kinda thing.
oh, I see
+Justin Jones listen to Norvegian Pirates. IT IS DEFINITLY THE BEST
Few words can describe this. Here's one: Beautiful.
You are a truely remarkable pianist! It is incredible that you can play a whole TSFH song. You deserve a lot more subs and awareness than you actually receive from the amount of hard work and dedication you put into your videos.
Pianoversion is even better. You, sir, are amazing!
you got fingers of a thousand man !!!!!
Really beautiful!!! 👏🏻
Man this is awesome, it melts my heart ♥ love this song! you're the boss!
Gods of music must have a great plans for u... Simply perfect... Keep up a good work...
Your TSFH songs keep me motivated and after playing this song for roughly 2 years now (along with others) I can now play it (closely) to your level.
Thanks.
I'm in love with his piano playing. 😍 how I wish I can be the same. 😍 very soothing to the ears.
You're not alone with that point.
Like from Russia! Fantastic composition!
You are an amazing player and you learned this song by just ear....now that is just awesome my good sir.
Makes me want to play again. So nice
Mate this is brilliant!!!! I listen to this daily now! What a player!!!! :)
It makes me proud this song does but this is better than the real version
Молодчага бро)))) Уважаю тех, кто так любит играть, что исполняет без нот. Они в сердце... 👍👍👍
You can see the tendons on his forearm doing the wave... Amazing piano playing too!
This guy has the skills of a North Korean
Hahahahaha
Kim Jong Un Hi supreme leader
Kim Jong Un Hi supreme leader
+Kim Jong Un No, he has the skills of a Nazi.
lol
You and your piano have a strength of a thousand men!
TSFH!!! Yeah! Can you play Atlantis and Love and Loss, please!!! Thanks
Love and Loss is incredible
DuMaChetDi And blackheart is incredible, too.
scaperist and invincible too.
Henry Chak and Black Blade is incredible too.
Every TSFH is amazing!
lol
:D
the quality of this man is incredible
it looks like strength of thousands of claps
Beautiful music in outstanding performances. thank you for the pleasure)))
Man you are good!!Awesome!
This is the quality we need back on yt
You should do United We Stand, Divided We Fall.
tried and failed at that :( it just does not seem to work on piano very well unfortunately, I couldnt get it to the standard of my other arrangements by TSFH,
Mark Fowler
It seems to me that there are only about 4 different parts in that one (Hopefully, or my saxophone ensemble arrangements of it need work lol). Perhaps a separate video for each part all synced together?
Anyway, fantastic job man. Love your videos.
I figured out heart of courage...now it's your turn strength of a thousand men. the sheet music shall not stay unconquered!
There needs to be a second like button. And a third, fourth, fifth.... I would press them all!
In playing this song you have ascended to a higher form of life. We grovel at this fantastic player and his fantastic music.
who else gets that feeling at 0:51
I know what you mean; for me that feeling starts at 1:24 though. I love that melody.
+AJ Batty Me too
DaHoePatrol, 1:24 is kinda better :P
This is one of the best covers of one of the best songs!
Who would dislike this?
People that are jealous, or people who just don't like the song and think they have to dislike and amazing piano player because of that.
You never fail to impress me man... a true pleasure to listen to all your performances!
please make TSFH - To Glory Cover
Outstanding version of this song!! Excelent job Mark!!
Epic
Very Thanks! - Remarkable performance. Good luck you.
can you play magic of love or leave no man behind???
I've had the MIDI and Synthesia tutorial up for Magic Of Love for like 3 months, I am suprised how less the video is viewed compared to my other TSFH videos. It's one of the best TSFH songs, and one of the best MIDI's I've made. However, Strength Of A Thousand Men, Nero, and To Glory are one of the most watched videos.
You play so heart warming, it just make me drop a tear.
I so glad im an octopus so I can play this #lifeisgoodwhenyouareanoctopus
***** Haha
but wouldn't you only be able to press 8 keys?
Aw man. I'm a ostrich how can I play this now with only two feet? Oh well I'm happy I can run faster than a horse. 55 miles per hour baby!!
Dafuq just happened? I got a little off topic
That was absolutely beautiful. You'r rendition of what is possibly my favorite song of all time made me feel emotional, I actually felt kinda sad at the slower parts. Congratulations, because you are the first person on one instrument to make me feel that way.
Strength Of 4,291 Men
4,554
4,576 now
311,432 now
1,298,177 men
So far I have learned this song and heart of courage. They are my favorite two so far. Protectors of the earth is not exactly my cup of tea. Keep it up, it is people like you that keep me going on piano. :)
My left hand hurts playing this song, any solution?
Justin A. Lee don't play, problem solved
Justin A. Lee lower ur piano so ur arms are not aimed upwards
Wow, just wow. Absolutely love your addition at the end.
Is there sheets for this? I would really like to play it!
This is just perfect! ♥
Who can dislike this. Shame on you if you dislike. : )
Beautiful Great well done. I wished i could play the piano that good! Perfect
hey, what happened to your piano sheets??? i noticed that some disappeared
not allowed to share them anymore.
Mark Fowler Why is that? Too many people re-posting them as their own?
ahh man i loved to play your songs on piano dude, plz share them again
Mark Fowler Why not? I love your music and as a piano player, I would really love to play it.
***** copy right issues got him in trouble. Not saying I 100% agree with them but yeah.
Epic Song + a amazing man with a piano = Death by happyness ;)
Your piano skills are that of an Asian 8 hand chuck norris
Best song ever!! I listen to this night and day!!
апллодисменты стоя
Outstanding performance. 10 out of 10.
As much as I enjoy Marks work, this doesn't quite capture the soul of SoaTM
Do you feel there are other versions on youtube that do? Just a question, not annoyed or anything ☺️
Mark Fowler None at all, and I have looked. There are just some pieces that a piano can't quite do.
It is wonderful, but it is missing....something? Can't quite tell, but this is still impressive and amazing on piano. He did it the best, but SOATM can't quite be played on a piano perfectly
It is hard to replicate the magnitude of an orchestra of over 100 people and as many vocalists with 10 fingers....
Whoami691 Obviously... hence why it will never measure up.
J'ai un coup de coeur pour cette version. Tu as parfaitement joué cette musique comme si elle venait de toi. Et j'adore comment tu la finis, tout en douceur.
this is ... I can't describe it. it's incredibly amazing ...
Beautifully played
This is worth appreciating and watching
I would pay all my many to do what u did in this video, two steps from hell is amazing music
Fantastic cover! God job!!
oh my god, TSFH is like one of my favorite artists. i love meeting people who like them too,
right hand is so fluid it's insane.
i press like button multiple times and still its not enough. i need epic button
How can anyone dislike this amazing piece of art? They must be incredibly jealous.
I did a cover of this with your sheets, too. I love the fact that you play this by ear, because that makes your performance so much more unique than somebody playing with sheets.
SIR, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!
2:36 this is sooo perfect...
I have listened to this video a bunch of times, but somehow it keeps getting more epic.
United we Stand Divided we Fall was the one I was the most excited to hear :(
beautifully executed
Excellent and there is nothing more to add, well, except that I did not hear it better!
you are playing my favorite ''songs'' thanks man
