OMG I wish I could play the piano like this... Very, very, very good!
Study + Practice + Patience = Skill.
Go for it!
I can!! Usually at night... I just lie down, close my eyes, and soon I'm playing anything I want.
Finally someone who plays the intro very well and similar as the studio version 💫
What impresses me even more is that Elton John just sat down at a piano and wrote this from nothing. The creative skills of musicians always seems miraculous to me.
He didn't do that at all. Quite famously Elton John doesn't write the songs- neither the music nor lyrics for this song were written by Elton John at all.
So they just gave him a songwriting credit for nothing did they? Try again.
Elton did the music. He famously had a writer for all the lyrics.
@@DefinitelyAPotato you are very mistaken. Elton John wrote the music and Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics.
As per the songwriting credits for this song, Elton John and Davey Johnstone composed the music and Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics.
Presumably the piano part was all Elton.
----- BUT -----
The piano part that is being played here by Joel is not what Elton John plays.
Joel has arranged this piece to follow the vocals and added his own rhythm bits which are absolutely flavourful and is more complex than the original.
If you were to listen to just the piano part that Elton John plays on the track, a lot of it would not even be recognisable without the vocals.
Simply beautiful. One of the best songs ever written played by quite an exceptional piano player.
I follow a lot of pianists, ad this is the BEST version I've heard! Absolutely Underrated my dude.
I could listen to it over and over again. Great job, love the way you play ❤️
My fave Elton tune. Thanks, man.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful performance of this beautiful song :)
Wow!!!! Just WOW!!! This is flawless!! I can only imagine playing like this!! Amazing job!!! 🎹🎹🎹
You make it sound soo good Joel!
I love to hear other peoples’ renditions to help inspire my own. This sounds awesome!
Great. !... thanks
Very Nice Rendition....
My own piano playing never went much past the difficulty level of Christmas songs, so I won't blab about things I don't know. But I had a teacher in elementary school in the 1980's and she was a high level musical conservatory pianist, she loved Elton's music. She told us about the importance of adding "feeling" to the notes. Mr Bowerman you add feeling to the notes as good as the best players I've heard in my lifetime, my teacher would highly approve of this! Btw, she played her own version of "O Canada" every morning in the style of Elton John: The soft parts would be delicate, gentle and intricate. The big parts would have bombastic flair, she added extra momentum with multiple low chord changes during the last half of the song... But softened it again near the end with the final delicate right hand high notes to finish the song. Cheers and keep up the good work my friend! People need to know this playing style is still alive with a new generation of young skilled piano players, you're an excellent representative!
Excellent work ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎵
this is the only version I’ve seen that’s really captures the flair of the original song, you play beautifully! :)
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I can honestly say
That things will only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man, Mary Mary
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Wait on me boy (Wait on me girl)
I Want You To Cry in the night if it helps (yeah)
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands (time on my hands) should be time spent with you
Laughing like children (laughing like children), living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Laughing like children
Living like lovers Elton, living like lovers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
One of my favs but I don’t think I’ll ever get it right.. sounds so good.
Well done

If I could play this half as good, I would be extremely happy.
Maybe one day.
Awesome playing mate, and I'm sure if Sir Elton himself was to see this video, I bet he would love it too.
Words can not justify how good this is.

Really good... so inspiring ❤
Wow - great job (and I truely love Elton). Say, the whole time you are playing, I can't help but look out that window. The surrounding area looks beautiful!!! Would you mind replying with the general area or town in which you live? Is it in Los Angeles by chance? (That's where I am). Anyway - It looks like an inspirational place to write or rehearse covers of songs. SO HAPPY YOU LIKE ELTON JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I just looked at your home page and I see you are in Australia!
I live in Tasmania :)
