Very nice - though this version seems about 5% slower than the release version. (I wound up using mp3 software to get this version to match up in pitch and speed and found that a 4.9% increase was close enough for my old ears not to care.)
great! except: there is some wrong with the deeper flute that accompains: ..."from Ibiza to the northfolk shore.." when it dissolves into the first chord of the bridge (g-sharp major over d sharp).
ruclips.net/video/JKg7OF9DG50/видео.html Here's the guy who performed the piano on the original recording doing a cover, hope this is what you're after :)
@@HowlingTechie yeah, rick wakeman is great man thank you. But i was looking a cover of this version exactly, like, without the vocals part. Thank you anyway, rick wakeman's version is just great :)
This is out of tune, I just played along to the original and then this version. Did you somehow slow it down when recording or uploading? I tried three originals with my piano and this one is out against all three. Still a great piece though, Rick Wakeman is massively talented.
Does somebody know where i can find notes, tutorial that goes like this because i found only tutorials with added vocals, if you know what i mean, pianoHQ also have other vershion? Dont write 'use your ears' im bad in it and its to hard for me.

That piano is Everything
Rick Wakeman on the piano is a genius, i don't like it when people try to piano cover the song rather than the backing piano when it's this amazing.
@@expressrobkill wow, so right
I fucking cry everytime I listen it.
✌ MasterPiece ✌
Rick Wakeman is a legend to The Legend Bowie! My Favourite! *goosebumps* I could listen to that piano roll in the chorus forever.... 🎹🎶
I will loop this song when I land on Mars someday.
good luck ✊
duna*
This should become the first song to be played on mars
The piano is beautiful 🥲 a true masterpiece
The last 10 seconds are amazing
Right ????
Great musical composition. The musical progression is nothing less than a Chopin composition.
Great song!! The chord progression and piano in this song sounds excellent.
That's a little bit deeper than the original. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much
Edward Nigma that’s what the original sounded like, the one you probably heard was the remastered version
Alex - yea, realized that around half an hour later
Edward Nigma oh ok
I still wonder why the album version had a higher pitch instead of the original one.
Mario Burgos I like the lower pitch better
Such a beautiful instrumental piece. So calming and relaxing.
It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Thanks but I think we know the words.

Best song and instrumental ever
spettacolo della vita ossigeno per l'animo e il cuore soprattutto quando riesci a sentire l'emozione dentro un suono e fantastico
Vero
None lovelier than this! My heart is calm. Thank you for posting this.

Whenever I hear this song I see Sam Tyler jumping off that roof.
I see him getting hit by the car and arriving in 1973.
Meeeee
Mind blowing

the original music video version is the same speed as well
Ronno is the main reason this song is iconic , ronno just as music flowing out of him when people say he was a session player he was the main man
Splendida 💟
1:54 - 2:01 Love
Alternative title: "Life on Mars?-No strings attached"
There’s no strings because the track is probably attached to the vocals.
@@maunide3365 Yes it is, the abbey road recording version is just two tracks slammed together
Damn Rick Wakeman was the pianist of this piece? I understand why it's amazing lol
Rip😭😭😭
Sam Tyler ❤
Such classic rendending. I love it. Please give permission to use in my son's video as background track
THE VIOLIN
The 5 people who disliked this, what's the point?
To show their disagreement.
Probably because the strings are missing
This is a long shot but....maybe they disliked it!
They confused the dislike button with ‘dis i like’

I have no idea where you got Norfolk shore from

Where did you get this from? Is there a multi track for this I can download?
Swedish tv, it's all indicated in another YT post with the same title
Still can't find an instrumental with the orchestral tracks inside it.
There are some instruments missing in this instrumental. Specially, the ones who start in 0:51
@Adam BAIN Yes, the violins. Without them, the song is boring...
Hahaha this my song
where di you get this record
shit went from 0 to 100 if you put in 200% speed
2:20
A primeira parte, desta música, somente com o piano, é extremamente depressiva.
A música em si já é muito depressiva
I find it motivating as non other songs
I'm a guitar player this is in a watched a video tutorial and there playing in f
Bro this is in the wrong key tho
cope
Sorry e
Nice accompaniment but where´s the melody?? this is a playback right, not an "Instrumental" version??
