I’m also a pianist, grew up listening to my dad playing w/other prof.musicians, as my brother & I were taught from the time we were toddlers thru college now both lifelong students as well as teachers. I always say that I also grew up eating MTV w/my Cheerios, so I was always aware of DM’s early work. But it was “Enjoy the Silence” & “Personal Jesus” that actually got me to💰their SoF&D💿that got heavy rotation as I wrote my college papers & during a #of🏥stays after some brutal surgeries. “Condemnation” was my 3rd fav of the💿, I really liked that gospel rooted🎹hymn feel, but not for religious reasons. Something so fixed in our culture going back to the classical Greats was rather different & refreshing to hear in rock music (again, 4me, not 4⛪️reasons, but musicality). You have a solid nice rendition, keeping to the chord structure, of course using broken chords/arpeggios while using the single melody line up top. I’ve been fortunate to have a well crafted grande🎹in which the dynamics R great, also⚡️🎹s that R difficult to get across. I’m not a singer, but if I’m playing pieces that R acting solely as accompaniment & on a keyboard, I think this is also how I would approach it. If you listen to Dave Gahan’s voice, you hear both the dynamic raw cry & utter pleading that makes it so emotionally effective. If the keyboard(/organ) is used to accompany that, sometimes it’s best to hang back playing the simple chord structure, but that’s not what you did. By verse 1, you started breaking up those chords & your personal choices add a fuller scheme, so if alone, it makes for a more interesting soundscape if 1 doesn’t have really good🎹dynamics &/or the🎤to fill it. So imho, you really did the song justice. Thank you for the performance, from another DM fan👍🏻👏🏻🎶😇❗️
Hi folks, I am working on a website that will have the music sheets and midis available of all my covers. I appreciate the patience, will write back as soon as ready. Thanks, CHajp
This is a long shot but I would love to see a cover of "Shadows" by Red House Painters. The piano is a bit detuned in the song but it is somewhere around Eb major. Otherwise, thanks for your awesome covers!
Thank you so much for your amazing covers! I'm very interested in buying your Depeche Mode Pack, is this song included? I can't find it on your web. I really wish some great reward is coming your way!! 😊
Hey, the "Merry Christmas Sale" includes every DM song, but I don't have the MIDIs and sheet for Condemnation since there was no request for it yet. If you buy the "Merry Christmas Sale", I'll prepare Condemnation MIDI and sheet as well and send it to you for free. It will take a few days though.
Thanks so much in advance, I would really appreciate it! I've just bought your "Merry Christmas Sale" pack (order number ending in 27). You have no idea how much this means to fans like me. I'm learning piano on my own, I've spent literally hours on your brilliant Somebody cover, until I could finally play the song (very slowly, that is, but "oh, what a feeling inside of me!" 😉). As Martin wisely put it, "you have to make this life livable"... well, no doubt you're definitely contributing to that! Cheers!

Hi, have you already bought the Depeche Mode pack?
Hi there! No, not yet, I was just waiting for your answer! Does your new "Merry Christmas Sale" include all DM songs?

The best! 10x
This is 2001 version with another tonal
I can tell this is the live version, because the studio version is steps lower this...does anyone here know how many?
studio version is B Major.
👏🙋♀️👍🌹🌈👏👏
Pity it's nowhere near the correct key !!!!
