Simply Amazing! I Cried a Lot, i love this movie since i was a kid! Congratulations, you're incredible! I searched for this song everywhere with no success for years too, Thank you!
Thank you very much! I never understood why this track couldn't be found so I made it. Glad you like it!
I miss my dad. (1953-2020)
Dads are awesome.
This is emotionally overwhelming, I'm in tears right now.. Over the Top is an amazing movie.
Thank you for listening. You're so right, this movie is fantastic.
😢olha, definitivamente não se faz mais filmes como antigamente... Esse filme é muito empolgante, esse filme me faz sentir saudades da minha infância
Absolutely amazing one of the most underrated movies of all time. The soundtrack amazing, thank you for this so emotional ❤
I agree! It's one of my favourites. Thank you for listening, the pleasure's mine.
My wife is trying to take my daughter away from me. The pain is heart-wrenching. I havent seen my little girl, 3 years old, for 3 weeks. This music is the soundtrack to my life right now.
I truly hope you'll have your daughter back soon, like Hawk did with Mike. Hold on tight, and thanks for listening.
Thank you brother for the music and the kind words. God bless you!
Be strong brother men need to stick together through good and bad times. I don't know you but it will all work out in the end. Have faith ❤
I ´m with you man 🙏❤️ I have a daughter too , 2 years old. Courage! Life is beautiful !
Never give up
Beautiful. I loved the piano score of Kenny Loggins’ Meet Me Halfway in the movie, sadly not on the soundtrack. Thanks for this 😊
I'm glad it makes a difference. Thank you for listening!
Brother I have been looking for this tune everywhere, it is not on the soundtrack. Finally I get to hear it in its purest form! Thank you so much I love you man!
It was nowhere to be found until I decided to make it myself for people like you. I'm so glad you enjoy it as much as I do! Mr Moroder is such an outstanding composer. Peace, brother!
@@LionHeartPianoMusic Thank you pal, this music touches my heart and you have nailed it! There is a piano of this on RUclips somewhere I do have it, but it's not the original from the film like yours.
Crazy how this gem wasn't added to the soundtrack, but this guy played it beautifully.
Simply amazing, I remember this movie when he tells his son that the world doesn't stop turning, that means that we can get where we want, no matter what obstacles you overcome 06/12/2022
Thank you! Yes, Hawk says: "The world meets nobody halfway. You gotta do what's best for you."
Unforgettable soundtrack music and movie from the 1980s video times, always bring back memories from my childhood...
Yes, so much nostalgia in it... Thank you for watching.
I love sylvester Stallone
Rocky !!! nothing did more 4 more than that caracter
More than 40 years with this love
Maybe i am crazy 😊
Mariana haydar and sofia junio 2024 ❤
Just Beautiful
The scene was really emotional
"The world meets nobody halfway"
This quote speaks volumes. Thank you for watching.
I love this movie and tune so much. Love the echoes of Meet Me Halfway! Beautiful cover.
I'm glad others appreciate it as much as I do when I watch it and listen to its awesome soundtrack. Thanks again! Keep up the good work on your end.
THIS IS JUST SOO BEAUTIFUL...I DEDICATE THIS MUSIC TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST...
😢

I love rocky er sieht meinem Bruder ähnlich
So beautiful!
Thanks! Yes, I'm working on the score of Over The Top and the various themes occuring throughout the movie. I will definitely cover the funeral theme. Stay tuned!
@@LionHeartPianoMusic GREAT! Thanks for sharing your talent with these beautiful pieces! ;-)
Amo esse filme
( Falcão)
Muito bonito esse filme 😀
Your version was perfect, I would like you to post this song "Hold me till the morning comes" by Paul Anka...I'm sure your piano version would be great.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll notify you if I ever cover it. It's a nice song, too!
@@LionHeartPianoMusic Thank you..I'm Brazilian, and i love your videos.
Dieses lied widme ich mein verstorbenen opa und Oma god bless his soul
I hope they're well, wherever they are. Thank you for listening.
I like this song i pray for all People over the Word and ukraine
Thank you for this, my friend.
Que Maravilha 😢👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
I've been looking for this version for more than 30 years. Thank you! One of the most beautiful piano songs ever written! Amazing!
Well, I'm so glad you found it. I never knew so many folks were desperately looking for it. Thank you very much for listening.
@@LionHeartPianoMusic Well, it's just that this piano part isn't available anywhere. Not even on the OST CD. But thanks to you I finally have it :-) ..... There are some people who tried to imitate it or cover it, but it sounded horrible all the time. Your interpretation sounds like the original in the film. So really great work. Thanks!
I'm happy I could make a difference, then. Thank you! Also, check out other Over The Top covers I made on this channel, you might like them.
The world meets nobody halfway.
Best quote!
Wow the way you play this song is really nice and authentic! Cool stuff! How about playing the piano part when Lincoln Hawk arrives at the military academy to pick up his son (slow piano theme of In this Country) ?
Thank you very much. You actually read my mind since I've already started working on playing the tune you mentioned where Hawk picks up Mike at the beginning. I'll soon make a cover out of it! Thanks again for listening!
@@LionHeartPianoMusic I read your mind because I already play both tunes (the one you play in the video) and the other one where Hawk picks up Mike for over fiveteen years on piano. But I play the one in your video (meet me halfway) in another key. My playing is all in all similar to yours (I also use sixths intervals).
@@LionHeartPianoMusic PLS can u make a TUTORIAL for the FUNERAL THEME PLEASE ? ? ?
@@zeckenlausimspeckmantel1568 Done!
💏👍
Good think you mister bravo
Thank you!
I honestly think I might play this at my funeral! Lol it fits!
The honor is mine!
Funny enough there's a "Funeral" theme in the movie for the scene where Stallone attends his wife's funeral
Simplesmente marcou minha vida ❤️ simply movie of my heart
I can listen this everytime
Glad you like it!
Ist der 2'te Part von diesem Video,der Track "Meet me Halfway"?
Und könntest du mal den Teil aus der Telefonzelle spielen,wo Vater und Sohn im Krankenhaus anrufen?
Ich hab auf jedenfall Gänsehaut,wenn du spielst!
#👍👍👍
Dankeschön! Tatsächlich ist es der Track "Meet Me Halfway". Ich hab noch ein Video dafon (Piano Instrumental).
Das Teil aus der Telefonzelle ist von "All I Need Is You" und klingt änhlich bis mein Video "Funeral Theme".
Grüße!
So beautiful! Thank you🤗
Thank you so much!
Stallone inspiriert mich und bringt mich zum weinen und Nachdenken
Buddy, I don't know how you would do it but there are 2 more additional cues in the movie that are not on the official soundtrack, Would you be able to re-create those? They are:- 1. The scene where Hawks son is kidnapped while Hawk is in the phone booth and he chases after the men, there is a piece of music that plays here right up to the point where he says "You tell him, he is staying with me, you tell him!" 2. And the other is when they are in the hospital when the doctor tells Hawk his wife died, there is a subtle piece of music that plays here right up until Mike runs away in the taxi. If you could produce those that will be amazing.
I see which cues you're talking about. Yes, I could re-create those easily. I'm putting them on my bucket list for future covers and I'll notify you if I publish them. The tune you hear in the hospital is actually the introduction of the funeral theme that plays right after it--which I've already covered. Have you checked out my other Over The Top videos? If you haven't, I'd love to hear your opinion on those. Cheers!
@@LionHeartPianoMusic Hi Buddy, Yes I have your funeral theme saved in my favourites but the cue that plays in the hospital is not in it (not covered), your version starts from when the scene cuts to the actual funeral itself as per the video thumbnail. If you could create the hospital bit and also the piece of music that plays when his son gets kidnapped that would be fantastic. I love your work and really appreciate it, thank you for making these, I love you man.
Tribute to my dad...
Dads are awesome. Thank you for listening.
Formidabile!
Thank you!

Thank you and congrats.
Thank you for watching 🙏
SUPER ! ! !
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for bringing back this memories ❤️
You're welcome
I usually never like videos where people play movie piano tracks because they play it ‘wrong’ with different timing and intonation (I’m not a musician, so that’s probably not the correct way to explain it) - but I loved this. Perfect!! Well done!
Do you like/Have you ever tried playing ‘The Lonely Man’ theme by Joe Harnell?
Even in the tv show, they play different versions at different speeds, but I always preferred the slowest versions, similar speed to this track.
Thank you very much for your inspiring comment.
I definitely agree with what you said. Many of the piano covers I've heard so far sounded a little bit off, or incomplete, which prompted me to create videos myself and try to be as faithful as possible to the original feeling of each particular piece. Hopefully I've succeeded to some extent.
I'm thrilled to see that you liked this piano cover. Feel free to check out other videos on my channel, I hope you'll find them as authentic as this one.
As a matter of fact, I haven't. I remotely remember this tune - although I've never really paid attention to it before (shame one me). Now that you point this one out, I realize it's truly a lovely theme (which goes right onto my bucket list for future piano videos). I love it!
I've just listened to some interpretations of it on YT, but I'm not sure whether or not I'm listening to the orignal piece. Do you happen to know where I can find the original?
@@LionHeartPianoMusic - Hi there,
This is the original, taken from the actual pilot movie and some episodes:
ruclips.net/video/LDx0o4LUcpg/видео.html
Ignore the beginning - the theme starts about 1:40 into the video and lasts about 50 seconds.
It’s much slower than almost all versions on RUclips.
The actual theme usually only ever lasted about a minute (they played it at the end of every tv episode). But most RUclips versions are much longer and very different, and often have lots of frills which were not on the original.
The video above contains several end credits cues put together.
Also, almost all RUclips versions are played with no mistakes and totally smoothly, but on the tv show the piece is played haltingly, brokenly and they usually had a deliberate ‘mistake’ played during the piece at a particular point - here are some examples which have the mistake:
ruclips.net/video/Bb3rT6YDZdU/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/-0T4kbQ8rmo/видео.html
I think the mistake is supposed to feel a bit like a voice cracking/breaking with emotion.
I couldn’t actually find the version of the mistake which is my favourite (I think I have it on an old vhs tape somewhere), but it was on that note.
This is a good version of the longer theme which I guess was written/recorded for longer listening experience:
ruclips.net/video/Yw9l9jLsyiU/видео.html
Maybe you could play the very slow halting original minute long theme and then go onto the longer theme..?
That would be a totally unique video on RUclips, and one I’ve always wanted.
I’ll be very interested to see/hear what you might produce.
A bit of extra information.
In the tv series, it starts with a man who was happily married. But then he and his wife are in a car accident. The man is thrown clear, but his wife is trapped inside the burning car. The man tries desperately to free his wife from the burning car, but the car is damaged and the door won’t open. It’s a painfully tragic scene to watch. He tries, but he can’t. He’s not strong enough. She dies. He couldn’t save her.
He’s totally grief stricken and feels guilty.
He researches incidents when people managed to rescue loved ones.
Tortured he couldn’t save his wife.
Because he’s a scientist he then tries to find a way to get stronger - it goes wrong, and he becomes ‘infected’ with the Hulk.
The press and police believe the hulk is responsible for killing a friend of his: a woman (which isn’t true) but because of that, and because he can’t control the hulk (a literal inner demon) he can’t stay where he is.
The police don’t know he’s the hulk, and they actually believe the hulk killed him and the woman. So he doesn’t even really exist any more. He’s lost his wife, his friend, and the police are hunting the hulk. He’s totally isolated and alone.
So every episode he keeps moving on, town to town, looking for a cure to his ‘illness’, but always having to move on. There’s almost no hope for him.
Each episode ends with him having to leave another town, walking away, down the road, alone.
I explain that so hopefully you can understand the meaning/emotion/feeling in the track.
Hope that’s helpful to you :)
Best regards!
Hi there!
Thank you very much for all this useful information - which I'm gonna use to perform this theme. I've already laid it all on paper and I will play it shortly (I'll keep you posted when it's done).
I agree with what you said about the "mistake" - which was definitely intended to create a feeling of dissonance that suits the character's shattered soul perfectly, in my opinion.
Thanks again for the background information, it is very, very useful. A musician always needs it to convey a particular vibe or emotion.
@@LionHeartPianoMusic - Hi again,
I’m looking forward to hearing what you do.
I like the phrase you use, “shattered soul” - that fits perfectly.
It’s actually my favourite piece of music ever and has haunted me my whole life - so if I can have even slightly influenced a recording of it, that would be a very special highlight for me.
Thank you for your music!
Hi,
My interpretation of "The Lonely Man" is now published. I hope you'll enjoy it. Feel free to comment.
I tried to immerse myself into the atmosphere you described in your previous answers and convey the right feeling. It was an amazing piece to play and I have to thank you for bringing it to my attention. This tune has definitely changed me forever.
It’s very beautiful 😍 I like ❤my best song 😉🇧🇪
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! Tout le plaisir est pour moi.
