  • Another upload of this song. I was told that it's very hard to pick the nodes I'm playing for others, so I decided to change the angle. It now makes it possible to pick up what keys I'm playing.

    A lot of people have been asking for a tutorial. I've recently made some new videos with a better view of the keys, including I'm Still Standing. It's not exactly a tutorial, but it's the best I can do. Watch it here. ruclips.net/video/qKs7eXrn_0k/видео.html

    I remember watching this tutorial while I started to learn playing piano. I was thinking this is so cool and that I'll never be able to even learn it. Now I can play it and your video was one of the reasons I kept playing. It's really great. Thanks!

    You could never know what it's like
    Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
    And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
    You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
    And did you think this fool could never win
    Well look at me, I'm coming back again
    I got a taste of love in a simple way
    And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
    Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
    Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
    I'm still standing after all this time
    Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
    I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
    I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
    Once I never could hope to win
    You starting down the road leaving me again
    The threats you made were meant to cut me down
    And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
    You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
    Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
    I'm still standing after all this time
    Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
    I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
    I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
    Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
    Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

    Man, Elton, and Ray Manzarek of the doors, and Jerry Lee Lewis are on a different level of rock n roll. And their piano playing gets em there. There is something about being good on the piano that takes it to an entirely different level. Also Richard Wright of Pink Floyd. With the great piano player, the band becomes one of the best in history. Also, great performance here, thanks!

I went through all the comments here & you only answer a hand full of questions out of the many that are asked, especially about sheet music. Suggestion: of you don't have or you have not created the sheets then just say so it say I did this piece by ear. When people listen to this the majority of us are piano players & we always ask the performer of there are sheets. Please answer or simply include in the description, that there are no sheets. Thanks for the performance. It was very enjoyable.
