Re-recorded version of Defying Gravity, still very much a work in progress, just bashed it out and this is the result. Ill record a good version one day!! :-)
Something has changed within me Something is not the same I'm through with playing by the rules Of someone else's game Too late for second guessing Too late to go back to sleep It's time to trust my instincts Close my eyes and leap It's time to try Defying gravity I think I'll try Defying gravity And you can't pull me down Can't I make you understand? You're having delusions of grandeur I'm through accepting limits 'Cause someone says they're so Some things I cannot change But till I try, I'll never know Too long I've been afraid of Losing love I guess I've lost Well, if that's love It comes at much too high a cost I'd sooner buy Defying gravity Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity And you can't pull me down Glinda, come with me Think of what we could do together Unlimited, together we're unlimited Together we'll be the greatest team There's ever been, Glinda Dreams, the way we planned 'em If we work in tandem There's no fight we cannot win Just you and I Defying gravity With you and I Defying gravity They'll never bring us down Well? Are you coming? I hope you're happy Now that you're choosing this You too I hope it brings you bliss I really hope you get it And you don't live to regret it I hope you're happy in the end I hope you're happy, my friend So if you care to find me Look to the western sky As someone told me lately "Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly" And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free To those who'd ground me Take a message back from me Tell them how I am Defying gravity I'm flying high Defying gravity And soon I'll match them in renown And nobody in all of Oz No Wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down I hope you're happy Look at her, she's wicked Get her Bring me down No one mourns the wicked So we've got to bring her Ahh, down
Just started piano! I've been playing guitar but Idk if I'll ever be as good at piano as I am guitar but I know for sure I'll be able to play this! I'm determined
I wanted you to know that I've been listening to this nonstop for days on end to learn as much by ear as I can before I pick up the sheets today, because I'm gonna be playing this for a show. Don't worry, I won't copy your (few and far in between) mistakes ;) I really appreciate you posting this! You seriously helped me through my crunch time!
He's playing from the Piano/Vocal Selections of Wicked, available from almost any music store. At least, the arrangement is the same. The piece is cut straight to where Elphaba starts her "solo". This is a beautiful song, played by a great pianist. Pure inspiration.
I'm making a cover of Defying Gravity on my own. When I played it, I thought it was great... Until I heard this! I love your cover! If only I can read music sheets...
I saw this video a long time ago, and saw it again last Thursday, decided I have to try and play it properly on the piano in my house, the author executes this song amazingly well, however I found out after trying for a while that the arrengement isn't as hard as i thought, its complex, got some transpositions but taking this vid and seeing it on SLO MO did the job, and for this I thank you for this video, anyone who tries to play this, do the same, its been 2 days and I got 60% of this.
What do you mean record a good version... this is AWESOME!!!! I wish I could play this song that well... all the key changes make it difficult. How long did it take you to learn it?
Beautiful! Loved the build-up throughout the song and will be using this video to rehearse as I will be auditioning for this song in choir this term. :-)
Woah, this is amazing!! So well played that I couldn't help singing along, then rewinding the video to listen to your piano skills in such more detail!! :O
i want to give you a very big big applause! for playing this so perfect! must have been a tough case to play this whole masterpiece.... I am jealous! beautiful!
This touched my heart. Lol! You're great! Thanks for sharing! I usually get distracted with the page turns but it didn't matter here, I loved how you played this! :)
Your playing inspired me so much to continue studying music! So much that I even bought the Wicked songbook myself and learnt defying Gravity (Age 14!, now i'm 15) too. Considering as well that I am a die hard Wicked fan, this is the best piano cover of Defying gravity I have heard yet (I've heard a lot of other youtube versions and this is my personal favorite) Thanks a lot and congratulations!
Why couldn't you have stayed calm, for once! Instead of flying off the handle -- ! I hope you're happy I hope you're happy now I hope you're happy how you've Hurt your cause forever I hope you think you're clever [ELPHABA] I hope you're happy I hope you're happy too I hope you're proud how you would Grovel in submission To feed your own ambition [GLINDA & ELPHABA] So though I can't imagine how I hope you're happy Right now [GLINDA] Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry! You can still be with The Wizard What you've worked and waited for You can have all you ever wanted - [ELPHABA] I know But I don't want it - No! I can't want it anymore Something has changed within me Something is not the same I'm through with playing by The rules of someone else's game Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep It's time to trust my instincts Close my eyes And leap... It's time to try defying gravity I think I'll try defying gravity And you can't pull me down [GLINDA] Can't I make you understand You're having delusions of grandeur?

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do -together! Unlimited Together we're unlimited Together we'll be the greatest team There's ever been - Glinda! Dreams the way we planned 'em
Holy shit...i'm learning this song too...from the exact same book...I thought I was really good...then :o omg....I cant....even...that was amazing...well done.
Clearly I'm very far behind on seeing this incredible video and I want you to know both it and your skill are amazing. But also, I have a background in piano and other instruments and can tell but am also wondering: it appears you're simply looking at a simple version of the sheet music for this song (vocal melody, simple right and left hand parts) but you're playing so much more than is on paper. What would your advice be to someone less experienced for how to approach this level of playing, looking at relatively simple sheet music and being able to play a more complex sounding part?

In the description it says that one day he'll do a better version, but I can't imagine it being any better than this.
true

Flipping the page without missing a beat! SMOOTH!
My grade 4 piano exam is tomorrow and watching this had inspired me so much! I'm very jealous! 💗
biggest eargasm in my life
Shut bitch stop self advertising
𝐎𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐡𝐡
FOR SURE!!
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Glinda, come with me
Think of what we could do together
Unlimited, together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been, Glinda
Dreams, the way we planned 'em
If we work in tandem
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
They'll never bring us down
Well? Are you coming?
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this
You too
I hope it brings you bliss
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down
I hope you're happy
Look at her, she's wicked
Get her
Bring me down
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her
Ahh, down
I love this! I'm 14 and I just started playing the piano, and this definitely inspires me.
+Sara Alice Alicea Good for you, I'm also new to piano
Just started piano! I've been playing guitar but Idk if I'll ever be as good at piano as I am guitar but I know for sure I'll be able to play this! I'm determined
Now you are 18...time flys😂🙈
@@emxy7328 s a m e
You are 19 I think. How’s it going?
despite this being amazing, I applaud you on your page turning. I'm yet to manage that without slowing down and keeping the pages flat
Laura Provan same
It was beautiful, it was incredible, it... was... WICKED! :)
at the last page it said: i couldn't be happier... if i would be able to play this indeed. ^^
PERFECTION!!!!!! This was the best piano cover ever!!
I wanted you to know that I've been listening to this nonstop for days on end to learn as much by ear as I can before I pick up the sheets today, because I'm gonna be playing this for a show.

I've watched almost every defying gravity piano cover on youtube and this is honestly my favorite one

I'm making a cover of Defying Gravity on my own. When I played it, I thought it was great... Until I heard this! I love your cover!
If only I can read music sheets...
You were playing so fast I thought the video was fast forwarding for a few seconds when it got to a minute in haha
Great job!
I saw this video a long time ago, and saw it again last Thursday, decided I have to try and play it properly on the piano in my house, the author executes this song amazingly well, however I found out after trying for a while that the arrengement isn't as hard as i thought, its complex, got some transpositions but taking this vid and seeing it on SLO MO did the job, and for this I thank you for this video, anyone who tries to play this, do the same, its been 2 days and I got 60% of this.
I have tears in my eyes and goosebumps all over my body. Amazing does not begin to do justice. Bravo!
What do you mean record a good version... this is AWESOME!!!! I wish I could play this song that well... all the key changes make it difficult. How long did it take you to learn it?
That was insane. Amazing job.
Thai is a great choice for a cover, great song! I loved your performance and interpretation! Excellent!
Beautiful! Loved the build-up throughout the song and will be using this video to rehearse as I will be auditioning for this song in choir this term. :-)
Best version on RUclips, and therefore the world. :)
I could literally listen to your stuff all day! x
Woah, this is amazing!! So well played that I couldn't help singing along, then rewinding the video to listen to your piano skills in such more detail!! :O
i want to give you a very big big applause! for playing this so perfect! must have been a tough case to play this whole masterpiece.... I am jealous! beautiful!

Absolutely amazing!
There is absolutely no need for you to record a 'good' version of this anytime soon, this is perfect as it is !!!!!!! :D
Wicked was my end of year production. This brings back so many memories! I was Nessarose!
Ohemgee... I'm watching Broadway again... Amazing! :D

SO WONDERFUL AND AMAZING

Your playing inspired me so much to continue studying music! So much that I even bought the Wicked songbook myself and learnt defying Gravity (Age 14!, now i'm 15) too.
Considering as well that I am a die hard Wicked fan, this is the best piano cover of Defying gravity I have heard yet (I've heard a lot of other youtube versions and this is my personal favorite)

Why couldn't you have stayed calm, for once! Instead of flying off the handle -- !
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you've
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever
[ELPHABA]
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you would
Grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy
Right now
[GLINDA]
Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry!
You can still be with The Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted -
[ELPHABA]
I know
But I don't want it - No!
I can't want it anymore
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap...
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
[GLINDA]
Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur?
[ELPHABA]
I'm through accepting limits
Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love, I guess I've lost
Well if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!
Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do -together!
Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been - Glinda!
Dreams the way we planned 'em
Wow.. so beautiful! :O
This is sooooo good thank you so much..
Holy shit...i'm learning this song too...from the exact same book...I thought I was really good...then :o omg....I cant....even...that was amazing...well done.

This was wonderful!!!! Do you have the music posted anywhere???

Clearly I'm very far behind on seeing this incredible video and I want you to know both it and your skill are amazing. But also, I have a background in piano and other instruments and can tell but am also wondering: it appears you're simply looking at a simple version of the sheet music for this song (vocal melody, simple right and left hand parts) but you're playing so much more than is on paper. What would your advice be to someone less experienced for how to approach this level of playing, looking at relatively simple sheet music and being able to play a more complex sounding part?
