Hard Habit to Break - Chicago (keyboard cover)

- In late summer/early fall 1984, this song was hitting its stride in popularity. It was also my introduction to Bill Champlin's soulful voice - paired with the distinctive voice of Peter Cetera: an inconceivably powerful combination. Unfortunately, Bill Champlin was not nominated for his perfect, incomparable wails toward the end of the song, though the song was nominated for Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or More Voices among four total Grammy nominations (deservedly so for all, no doubt!). As producer, David Foster did a wonderful job arranging and pushing for this hit single, not to mention the entirety of the album Chicago 17, their most successful album.
I can't say enough good things about this song. It always takes me back and is probably my favorite ballad of all time.

I do not own rights to this composition.
We will never again have music as good as it was in the 1980s. BEST MUSIC EVER!!!
I've been a fan of Chicago for about 40 years.
I also play the piano, and it has a very beautiful tone, which is wonderful! Thank you for uploading!
Beautiful. I sang along!
That was perfect. Must have been hard to play this without mistakes. Really great!
As a 40-year keyboardist, I can tell that Robby spent mucho many hours getting it that tight. Bravo.
Nailed it and beautiful sounding board.
This is my favorite Chicago song. Took me a week to this song
Perfect! this is the first time i see someone playing hard habity to break from Chicago, Was perfect.
I never even considered how complicated the song was until I watched this.
Totally - it's up there with "I'm Never Gonna Let You Go" with the million modulations.
Let You Go i think has 23 modulations. I counted seven in this song, though its a bit subjective.

Always great to recall those long gone hits of Chicago. Your keyboard work followed it note for note: many thanks.
I don’t know the level of financial reward from RUclips for tracks like this but surely there is a commercial opportunity for such talent as you possess.
Thank you for your comments. I don't receive any compensation for these videos (nor should I), but I am happy for the original artists/producers/writers that receive recognition. I think these songs implement important fundamentals and they are easy on the ears, so I post them mainly with the intent to educate and entertain. Best wishes!
Absolutely GORGEOUS to the point of STUNNING! David Foster would be PROUD!!! I hope he hears this if he hasn't already! What a masterpiece of a composition, and what a masterful performance and rendition! *tips hat*
Thank you!
This is phenomenal. Thank you. The chords you found--I never knew they were here!
Just beautiful. New subscriber!
You are a musical beast.
So, update. Learned your cover. Played it at least a thousand times along with the recording or music video. I'm lame, I know, but it's the most fun I've had playing keyboards. Thank you.
Great to hear! You will probably never get tired of it.

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what you got until it's gone
And I found out a little too late
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone, and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
Being without you is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe, you're a hard habit to break
You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but livin' alone
I was spreading my love too thin
After all of these years I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better, they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night, it's an endless fight
I can't get you out of my mind
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
Being without you is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe, you're a hard habit to break
Can't go on, just can't go on, on
Can't go on, just can't go on, on
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
Being without you is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
I'm addicted to you baby
Can you make sheet music for this?? I love it!
Tried and succeeded ❤
I think it would be so nice if you did this with it's music track. ^_^
Did you get it by ear?
Yes, and probably thousands of listens over the last 30-some years!😀
❤ Not long enough very good though
