Britell is a genius for writing this. It really conveys the pain each family member experiences but deep down they’re still family, however twisted and disgusting they are to each other.
It's also chaotic. There's an interview with Brittell with Vanity Fair (it's on youtube) and he explains that the dramatic parts of the theme aren't even in the same scale. Like, he actually went outside of what makes sense musically to convey the emotional whirlwind of the family and show. It's dramatic, bold, and apologetically so, just like Logan.
This variation on the Succession Theme is powerful, haunting, beautiful & touches something deep inside that stirs up the need to play over & over. Thank you.
HBO needs to call this man...... This is very very very good. One of the best theme songs ever made and even better remix. Thank you for giving us this
Lol look who I found. I just recommended that you play this song on your community post so I guess I’ll say it twice. Wanted to know what this song would sound like if a solo pianist like yourself were to play it and I think he did a great job of showing you!
Do you realise that when I play your music it calms my special needs daughter? It literally stops her in her tracks to watch your video, she’s entranced. Thank you, from Australia 🐨🐨🦘🦘
This tune sounds like when you're sitting and brooding over something, waiting for some outcome and then eventually the pieces just fall into place and you suddenly sort of figure it out.
I am currently detoxing from a medicine I was on for ten years. It’s extremely painful and emotional and I just want you to know I’ve watched this so many times already. You play beautifully and it’s helping me pull through.
Are you KIDDING ME?? I had nearly given up hope of finding any new Succession music to feed my fix while waiting for season 3's soundtrack (6 long months *after* S3 finishes 😩). Most of the other RUclipsrs vids are merely playing Britell's music verbatim, and mostly just the intro theme. I had all but given up hope of finding anything fresh. That is, until I found this video. ...Good GRIEF, this is FIRE. The medley mashup of the themes, with variation, feeling, and flourish, is AMAZING. Wow, this easily could pass as having come straight from the hands of Britell himself. The earthquaking "stairs" midway through is my favorite, like descending down the staircase into madness. But then how it stops and turns the other way, coming out of it softly and gently, walking back up the stairs toward sanity, ...only to turn it back around once again, back and forth. Or in other words, "Succession" encapsulated perfectly in music form 👍 It's clear you pour your soul and feeling into your playing, and it shows. Well done!
Very emotional , its remînds me my father that i lost some days begore now , i named my son who was born recently the same name as his grand father, its really a succesion ! Thanks.
God the little sad part that comes in the middle (I like to think of it as Kendall's theme since it always plays when he's down horrendous) gets me so good
I've been playing piano my entire life, 34+ years, and I can honestly say this is incredible. Some people can play piano, but some people, like you, PLAY.
This music is utterly haunting and hair raising.....yet so beautiful that you want to go on listening to it. Starts off quite dark but there are notes of optimism for a brief while.....but they do not last long. Like there is a fierce tug going on between good and evil.
😲 With his arms blackened out, by the end, it's like just two unattached flying hands dancing across the keyboard, with a creepy undertone of "Thing" from the Adam's Family detached finger walking member. In combination with the effortless stream of this eerily enchanting tune, this is an incredible video that stops you in whatever you're doing. Truly an incredible talent and those ivories have been more than tickled, along with us all. 🖤👏
Karim, I've never heard this song before, but your piano version made me an instant fan! You are an incredible pianist and arranger that really knows how to let loose and bring that soulful, raw emotion along with it! LOVED this!! What an absolute treat to watch you play! I've been largely absent tending real life, which got a bit challenging for awhile, but feels nice to back and listening to the music of my favorite friends. You are wonderful! Take good care, ~Jackie p.s. Had to come back with an edit to let you know that your skills get better all the time. This is the "Karim Concert" :-)
I listen to this and I hurt for more, yet what you deliver is the right amount of perfection, emotion, skill, drama. I love what you have done with this piece! Truly outstanding, Karim!
Your artistry and technical abilities are impeccable!! Absolutely entrancing. Your talents are something to be immensely proud of. Please keep playing as long as you are able! Bravo!!
Well, this is, in fact, contemporary classical music. There’s a ton of wonderful contemporary classical music in well-composed movie music. Think of James Williams, Danny Elfman, Carter Burwell, Thomas Newman. The music stands on its own.
I thought I’d seen most of your videos/arrangements. I’ve just started watching this and I immediately thought Karim would own this. I just searched for succession piano. You’re the top, you’re the colosseum.
A great combination of style and class but also a Taylor made song for a tv show representing all of its characters and the direction in a perfect way. I never get tired of listening at this masterpiece. Thank you so much
Oh, what I would give for only a shred of your musical instinct, natural talent, and most likely an infinite number of hours of practice and history with the keyboard. Thank you for this beauty, my man.
This song makes you go through all the emotions. Each character with faults and flaws and hide behind money to cover it up. Amazing how it is captured in this theme.
I feel the genuine need to give a standing ovation by the end of this video. This genuinely amazing I can barely put it into words how this made me feel
I reached this video by searching the générique of a French cultural broadcast on France Culture (Affaires culturelles, from Arnaud Laporte). I love this interpretation.

This song is disgustingly beautiful. Dark and wretched, yet has hopeful light. The notes paint the picture of family, loyalty, and betrayal!!

You couldn't have put it better.
@@ManUntdForever best intro/ thematic music ever made. I've scoured but nothing is better.
!!
Home run. You hit this one out the park. I felt all the drama from the series coming through the keyboard.
Looks like he got that check for a million ;)
This variation on the Succession Theme is powerful, haunting, beautiful & touches something deep inside that stirs up the need to play over & over. Thank you.
This is the MOST iconic cover ever. The best. The most magnificent beatiful ear-gasm ever. PERIODT
Shhhh
THIS JUST IN: A floating head and two hands play the succession theme
A duet between a pianist and a comedian, maybe?
So dark, I can't even see his tattoos.
@@88KeysIdaho Huh?
What head?
@@yrasheddc hell naww
HBO needs to call this man...... This is very very very good. One of the best theme songs ever made and even better remix. Thank you for giving us this
this is so good
Cheers Joe!! Much respect

I can’t tell you how many times I listened to this. It is soo good!!
Awesome!
Thank's for sharing your passion!
LOL HE ACTUALLY COMMENTED
Man those are really difficult tempo swings to cover, such a nuanced piece. Very cool, thanks for showing us.
Do you realise that when I play your music it calms my special needs daughter? It literally stops her in her tracks to watch your video, she’s entranced. Thank you, from Australia 🐨🐨🦘🦘
@@kjulietraven thanks but she won’t play but loves music and musicals (even Opera)😆
@@lesleyoliver5582 pretty epic to see the youth continue to embrace classical music
did you have to call her special needs but i get the point it's pretty hyptnotising
@@felixwilliams7204 Plz continue to police and condescend to others about how they refer to their own children.
I wish your family the best!

You can do this Chis Evan
Hope you're well
Hope you're doing okay Chris!
Benzos? How are you doing now?
Qué tal vas amigo? Ánimos!
I can’t stop listening to this!! I just started playing my piano again after 20 years……You so inspire me!!!
This show deserves more recognition than he gets also great cover
I think getting an Emmy is a lotta recognition
So many award nods and wins it’s got plenty of recognition but I do agree need to be way more
it's for sure the next GOT! but with amazing writers haha
@@zurzakne-etra7069 the writing is like modern day shakespeare
It seems people have caught on now.

For people that want to skip to the good part it’s 00:00 to 5:26
Thank me later
Thanks, was looking for this!
Best theme ever made, I don’t think it’s gonna be surpassed ever
Very emotional , its remînds me my father that i lost some days begore now , i named my son who was born recently the same name as his grand father, its really a succesion ! Thanks.
God the little sad part that comes in the middle (I like to think of it as Kendall's theme since it always plays when he's down horrendous) gets me so good
Same here! That part plays when he’s soaking wet after the accident, walking away from the aftermath. Gives me chills.
@@Vicerega yes exactly!! It's always playing when Kendall's at his lowest and it's so heartbreaking every time
I've been playing piano my entire life, 34+ years, and I can honestly say this is incredible. Some people can play piano, but some people, like you, PLAY.
Fantastic variations on the Succession theme ! I can't get enough of this ! Thank you.
Just learned Andante in C minor and went down a rabbit hole of Succession covers. Definitely got a new subscriber with this one. Beautiful.
You play with such compassion, beauty and grace....very well played Kamar❤❤❤
Oh and what happens starting here 3:43 Goosebumps! Absolutely wonderful ! Chapeau !
This music is utterly haunting and hair raising.....yet so beautiful that you want to go on listening to it. Starts off quite dark but there are notes of optimism for a brief while.....but they do not last long. Like there is a fierce tug going on between good and evil.
Logan Roy loves you for this awesome rendition of the theme.

How does this only have 52k views? One of the best piano covers I've heard on RUclips of any song
My God. As I was listening I just could hope for it to never end. Goosebumping playing, man. Absolute respect
Looks like if your head were floating, nice arrangement, you're the best
What, you can't see the pink tuxedo jacket he's wearing?
this arrangement blew me away. thank you.
Nicholas Britell will be so proud when he see this! How many years does one needs to learn and practice to be able to play like this?
your facial and bodily expressions while playing makes this performance soultouching
LOVE LOVE LOVE you're work here. Thank you for sharing your gift!!!

watch the show ... lol
Everything about this oozes quality - it’s just fabulous!
I love this take on the theme really bringing out that classical influence
Wow, absolutely adore this rendition. You KILLED IT!!! thank you!!!
Karim...pure genius...musical eloquence at its finest...bravo
This is excellent! This theme so captures the darkness and complexity of the show. Well done!
Quite simply the definitive Piano version of the succession theme tune... I bow in admiration...
I listen to this and I hurt for more, yet what you deliver is the right amount of perfection, emotion, skill, drama. I love what you have done with this piece! Truly outstanding, Karim!
Karim, Your score to this wonderful show is perfect and I never fast forwarded the opening credits while binge watching. Love it!
Your artistry and technical abilities are impeccable!! Absolutely entrancing. Your talents are something to be immensely proud of. Please keep playing as long as you are able! Bravo!!
I think I have watched this 6 times a day for the past month. I cant get enough.
Beautiful! You make this theme sound like Rachmaninoff composed it 😍
Well, this is, in fact, contemporary classical music. There’s a ton of wonderful contemporary classical music in well-composed movie music. Think of James Williams, Danny Elfman, Carter Burwell, Thomas Newman. The music stands on its own.
I always find myself coming back to this cover. Truly outstanding !
Best version of this song I’ve heard so far. Thank you.
Usually covers don’t do the main song justice but you straight up killed this 🔥
Saw 5 seconds of this and subscribed. Raw talent.
Absolute best version anywhere! The passion.. wow, thank you!
I’ve only listened half through the video but already had to subscribe. This is incredibly well played!
Gotta say... did not expect that AT ALL!!! Mind blown successfully! Keep up the good work this is genius .
WA-OUH ❤ je commençais à me mettre à ce morceau... mais la barre est tout à coup montée très très haut!!
Fantastica..la serie non sarebbe così significativa senza questa splendida musica..GRANDE!!!!grazie
This is amazing. The best show on TV, with the best theme tune!
Succession is the best currently running show on TV. Its unreal how much depth, weight and feeling the score adds to this show.
This is absolutely incredible. Bravo my man
I got goosebumps at least a dozen times listening to this.
Bravo! Now this is a real cover! Not just a hash but your own creative input 👏
Been waiting for this! Thank you very much!
I thought I’d seen most of your videos/arrangements. I’ve just started watching this and I immediately thought Karim would own this. I just searched for succession piano. You’re the top, you’re the colosseum.
Just ran across this. OMG! Gave me goose bumps for hours. Bravo!! Bravo!! You are extremely talented.
This is magical!! You play beautifully, Karim!

Oh, what I would give for only a shred of your musical instinct, natural talent, and most likely an infinite number of hours of practice and history with the keyboard.
Thank you for this beauty, my man.
My goodness! I like the original version, but this is markedly better! Well done. You are truly gifted.
Wow just wow !!!
What did i just hear!
This is by far the best and i mean THE best theme ever made .
i love this so much!! thank you for this amazing arrangement. i bought the sheet music and currently learning how to play the piece!
Holy wow! that was epic Bro.. and I thought Cardova’s cover was tight… you took it to the next level. Arpeggio city… brilliant.
chilling performance! Awesome job Mr. Kamar
Неперевершено! Біль і море сліз !
So beautifully haunting. Can't wait for season three.
Superb! I am in heaven and back ! Thank you! Again and again , my spirit is happier.

Genuinely perfect
Lovely, Hypnotic, No Words to describe...

One of the most intelligent sophisticated tv shows on cable I love ❤️ Succession . Team LOGAN
You should have millions of views and much more recognition . This is simply incredible
Your skills are amazing. The emotion and passion you put into your music is astounding.
Gave me goosebumps. Amazing. Trying to learn the less complex version of this rn haha

What a wonderful pianist, simply magnificent.

This really makes me want to start learning the piano. Kudos on the amazing rendition.
Impressive job, amazing performance 👏👏👏 🇻🇪
I feel the genuine need to give a standing ovation by the end of this video. This genuinely amazing I can barely put it into words how this made me feel
Your playing Bach's A Minor Invention popped up on my YT. It's my favorite invention. I really enjoyed your more legato version. Bravo.
this is so amazing i’m in awe
I reached this video by searching the générique of a French cultural broadcast on France Culture (Affaires culturelles, from Arnaud Laporte). I love this interpretation.
Excellent technique, I just love your work, some of the best I've heard
congratulations for such beautiful music🎉🎉
Killed it 🔥
I love you Karim! Those subscribers are going to skyrocket.
New album! YESSSSS!!!! Can't wait.
Thank you... just the right music at just the right time for me... Bravo
