    🎵 "She's Always a Woman" is the 7th track on Billy Joel's 1977 album The Stranger. It is a love song about a modern woman who the singer has fallen totally in love with to the extent of falling for her endearing quirks as well as her flaws. A chilling fact about the song is that a Muzak version of the track was one of the last songs played over the loudspeakers at the former World Trade Center complex before its collapse.
    🐥 This is the piece I was talking about practicing when I posted my All My Loving cover. It took a little bit longer than expected considering I had about 3/4th of the song memorized in February. However it's finally here. As you may know by now I love Billy Joel's music and "She's Always a Woman" is no exception. I found a quality transcription done by The Flaming Piano here on RUclips, definitely check out his stuff here: / noone99990 . The arrangement he transcribed however kind of glazed over some of the parts from the recording. To fix this I edited his transcription and added in some parts that were initially missing. However, kudos to him for arranging it to begin with. It's an absolute barrage of notes and syncopation but I assure any advanced pianists that if you keep playing it the muscle memory and note memory will come. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!

    Some more Billy Joel for you midweek upload. Hey less than a month from the last one that's pretty good. I'll probably do some easier pieces this next month so next upload shouldn't be so long away until I whip out another big one like this. Thanks to the Flaming Piano for transcribing the OG arrangement that I used to make this arrangement, check out his channel here ruclips.net/user/noone99990. Welcome to any new subscribers/viewers. Let me know what you would like to hear in future uploads! Thanks for watching (and reading this)!

      Hi Daniel. Did you happen to record any Billy Joel songs with no melody line? As in..what he would play live with his vocal?

    She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
    She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
    And she only reveals what she wants you to see
    She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
    She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
    She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you
    And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
    Yeah she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me
    Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh, she never gives out and she never gives in
    She just changes her mind
    And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
    Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
    But she brings out the best and the worst you can be
    Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
    Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh, she never gives out and she never gives in
    She just changes her mind
    She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
    She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
    But she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
    And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
    But she's always a woman to me

    I know sir, it will take me years to learn how to play this song, my heart has been longing to play this piece. I haven’t read notes for 30 years and now I’m going back to piano lessons in beginners level & I’m not ashamed of it. Someday when I get back on track I hope I can play like you. Thank you so much for this! Makes us beginners to strive harder and learn. ♥️

      It was pretty beastly for sure. I learned the ending and the beginning in like a month and a half but the middle minute took the most time haha. I also wanted to make sure I memorized it before posting (no reason in particular just so I don't feel like a weak willed pianist haha) so that took longer as well. Thanks again for transcribing the original and sharing the MIDI. 🔥🎹

    I am studying this exact arrangement, since i adore it! However, in some way, my version doesn't sound quite so let's say equal.. meaning, i don't seem to get that smoothness.. any suggestions from anybody? anybody else playing this beautiful arrangement?

    • @danielbearshit
      @danielbearshit  3 года назад +1

      Kathleen Preso any part in particular that you’re having problems with? I know controlling the dynamics was a big thing with this one in order to give it some depth. That along with having the arpeggios being in time with each other for maybe that smoothness you’re talking about?

    • @kathleenpreso6327
      @kathleenpreso6327 3 года назад

      @@danielbearshit So nice that you take the time to answer. No, not the arpeggios, just making sure both hands have the same volume while making sure the melody pops out, yes controlling the dynamics is the most difficult part.. ... i think i've listened to yours a zillion times by now... yours sounds so nice!!

    Despite your absolutely hilarious username, this is one of the most tasteful renditions of She's Always a Woman I have heard in a good while. Also, your addition of the lyrics in the video captions is an exquisite and infinitely helpful touch for those who may not know the lyrics. Noliboy Alix did a rendition on the flute, and it sounded very much like the Muzak rendition one might have heard on the plaza of the Twin Towers back in the day: ruclips.net/video/KCylSe-YGmk/видео.html.
