Your music is like the quiet, tender feeling upon first waking, then a spark of awareness as you realize “it’s another day!” and you snuggle back into the warm blankets and enjoy the last few moments of the nights sleep with your beloved.
Beautiful! I especially love the part in which the left hand is playing "Fields of Gold," and the right hand is playing "Ode to Joy." Masterfully done!
Your music draws memories of a long gone summer of mine. Sun sets over the prairie, gentle august breeze caressing my bare skin, I stand there, at the deep end of nowhere exactly, in between my thoughts and the numbing comfort of loneliness, my eyes and ears witnessing the spectacular concert of Mother Nature’s symphonies of colors and summer noises. I am here, feet sore from a long walk, enjoying the peacefulness of a surreal journey from dawn to dusk, from day to night, from light to darkness. The skies are burning like a million candles, and as I look up, I become dreamy, as if the clouds were lulling me to sleep. My heart smiles at those memories. They are a soothing, faraway echo of the rare meditative moments I had as a young person.
this is beautifully written. Thank you so much. My comments section feels very humbled to host this passage. I love the way you write and hope that you write often and that people get the chance to discover and experience your work. Have you read "Knoxville Summer of 1915" by James Agee? I think you would enjoy it. Samuel Barber also turned it into a piece for soprano and orchestra.. *if* you listen to that.. please listen to Sylvia McNair singing it.. she's stunning.. there are some pretty terrible versions out there :-) .. but the text itself can bring tears to my eyes.. Anyway.. wish you a wonderful day.. including a hopefully no longer so rare meditative moment :-)
This gentlemen never ceases to amaze me. This is one of my all-time favorites was so eloquently composed. It almost motivates me to look harder to find that perfect someone to walk down the aisle with. Keep up the great compositions. Thank you for sharing your music with the world.
I just got flashbacks of stressing out about bach two part inventions. I know it's very different, but that beautiful part where both your hands are playing different melodies that work so well together reminded me of it. This is so perfect in every way. As always, such a huge fan of your work!
Scar Star thanks so much! Bach has certainly been the cause of my biggest Brain Strain moments too haha :-) .. I did have to practice that bit actually.. but lefty loves when he gets a melody :-) .. thanks for your kindness and support!
thank you so much, Austin! Yes it's just such a beautiful song to get swept up in :-) So glad you feel the feelings ❤️ .. always so nice to see your name here :-)
I shall name this piece 'Fields Of Joy' - this is a masterpiece! I could never have imagined this amalgamation. I presume this may be a more difficult piece to play as the melodies are being played simultaneously, however you have merged these melodies effortlessly; a testament to your talents! I think we ought to name this phenomenon the 'Hankinson Effect' - Thanks for continuing to bring such music to RUclips!
thank you so much! Your comments always make me smile :-) I love "Fields of Joy" - thanks for coming up with that. And the 'Hankinson Effect' .. so funny - I hope my melody merging doesn't melt ice caps or burn holes in the ozone layer. Actually that moment when the left hand takes the melody is not tooooo difficult as the right hand 'ode to joy' melody is super simple.. allowing Lefty to focus.. his big moment.. his chance to shine :-) .. I really love finding ways to interweave these pieces.. glad that you appreciate what I'm doing .. this combination actually came to me on the cross trainer at the gym.. Maybe I should get on that thing more often!
@@PaulHankinsonMusic I love the reference to "lefty" having his big moment! 😂 I'm in awe of how your brain generates these pieces; could it be the magical cross trainer haha
I'm not stalking you! I promise! But this is just breathtaking yet again. If I ever need to relax and just drift away from the world, I come to listen to your music. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much Abigail! I don't feel stalked haha don't worry.. I don't feel a need to call security.. I actually really appreciate that you check out my new ones.. that you take the time to comment.. and I'm really glad that what I'm making is of use in your life.. to help you relax.. I think any creative person is always glad to be told that what they are making is useful or helpful to people :-) .. I actually have a sign in my studio which on which is written "Who Is It For"? .. and if it's sometimes for Abigail Mansfield well that's great! Your wedding is NEXT September yes? 2020? ..
@@PaulHankinsonMusic Paul Hankinson aww Paul that's such a lovely thing to say, I'm sure you have hundreds of people who get something out of your music! Yes it's September 2020 and I've just heard your Say You Won't Let Go cover and that was one of the options for our first dance! Absolutely beautiful x
this is such an excellent example of counterpoint that I intend to use it as an example for teaching. The only problem I see with this is that I expected one last strong capitulation of he verse section of Fields of Gold.
Ingeniously arranged and performed Paul. I'm compelled to comment even though the subject was covered in earlier comments. The parts where the two melodies are played simultaneously meld wonderfully and I'm really awed by your hand Independence. Or should I say brain independence. I'm not sure if the average listener knows how difficult it is being in two places at once, but I can sure appreciate the feat. I loved this one.
Thanks so much Dan Chan! You're so kind. I got the giggles when I read "appreciate the feat" .. imagine if I could play two melodies simultaneously with my feet! My brain is so often in two places at once I think it's used to it by now ;-) .. seriously though.. thank you.. I love working on these arrangements.. so glad you like this one! More soon.
@@PaulHankinsonMusic I'm happy you liked the clouds video, as I'm seeking to improve my film making skills. I use music in the RUclips Audio Library for many of my videos and this song "Serenity", composed and played by Aakash Gandhi was taken from that source. I agree that its lovely. I've since learned it, as well as his song "One Step Closer", which is a more minimal take on Yiruma's, "River Flows In You". But I'd really like to direct your attention to Wayne Jones' "Forever Yours", also in the library. I've been playing this one every time I sit down at the piano and still love it. I think you will as well.
Hi Paul! I’m doing this one next! (after finishing My Funny Valentine). Stay tuned for a possible video via Instagram in March! Love this one!!! So so gorgeous! ❤️❤️ so glad to find your arrangements!
Oh Thanks so much Cristina! Thank YOU for learning and playing my arrangements - it's really so satisfying and makes my work feel worth it. I'm glad you chose this one - it's honestly one of my favourite ones I've done - Fields of Gold is just SUCH a beautiful song, anyway. And well.. Beethoven... he's my fave 😁
@@iamcristina I agree!! I have recently found Paul's most interesting mash-ups. So now I'm wondering what your process is for replicating his beautiful playing? Jot down the chords, learn the bass, then melody? I want to learn them by heart rather than the eye...but I'm guessing there is sheet music, too.
@@Bloomkorth2 hi name twin!! I download the sheet music! The link is in his bio! Much easier than trying to play by ear! (Assuming you read music). Yes, I’m a new follower of his so I’m happy to discover these beautiful arrangements! So fun to play too!!
@@iamcristina I was playing around with it without using music today (in key of D) as I am trying to challenge my ear and inner musical knowledge. I am glad to see that the sheet music exists!! Enjoy!! Paul is a gem!
thanks so much.. I love it! It's a Yamaha Silent System .. it has totally changed my life.. because I can play anytime day or night.. with headphones on.. and it's a sound that actually INSPIRES me! Yay Yamaha!
@@obriantomlinson2776your comment has absolutely made my day!! I'm so happy you're enjoying playing this one. This song means a lot to me and I put a lot of love into this arrangement.. it's not as popular as some of the others so I'm really glad that you're showing it some love ❤️ .. I'd love to hear you play it! Wish you all the very best.. hope you walk in fields of gold :-)
You are just in a class of your own. Really, you are. Ethereal. Surreal. Moved me deeply. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Not confident I can play this but I have your scores for Perfect and Shallow, both of which are my "show pieces" when I have guests, and they absolutely love your arrangement! Thank you again for this. ❤🙏⭐️

scruffy pup I hope you’re a writer.. beyond RUclips commenting .. you have such a beautiful way with words. I’d love to read your novel someday :-)
YOU are my "go to " for relaxing piano compositions
1:55 Playing Fields Of Gold with left hand and Ode To Joy with right hand. Genius.
He is
Beautiful! I especially love the part in which the left hand is playing "Fields of Gold," and the right hand is playing "Ode to Joy." Masterfully done!
Laura Nickerson thank you so much! My left hand says to tell you that’s his favourite part too. :-)

thanks so much Ryan! Triplets are fun! Glad you like them! I love playing them.
Thank you...2 of my absolute favorite pieces of music. I have listened to Eva Casdidy's version of Fields of Gold 100s of times...Thank you.
I’m seriously considering this piece for my wedding. It’s simply beautiful!
