    Description:
    Several people suggested I do this song on my youtube comments so I checked out the movie and decided to give it a go. The first part is basically like the original. Later on I go into a stride piano solo and play a part of the melody again with stride. The damper pedal is a little squeaky. Sorry about that. I hope you dig it anyway.
    Thanks for listening.

    • @cicholasnage
      @cicholasnage Рік тому +7

      Yeah agreed, as too much arpeggios can make it feel a little overwhelming. The song is supposed to be a light bittersweet song with hints of sorrow. Jacob Koller _never_ disappoints

And being able to see the inners of the piano adds a nice touch. Best rendition I’ve heard of this piece. I wish I would’ve found it sooner. Thank you for sharing. You’ve earned a new sub

    City of stars
    Are you shining just for me?
    City of stars
    There's so much that I can't see
    Who knows?
    I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you
    That now our dreams
    They've finally come true
    City of stars
    Just one thing everybody wants
    There in the bars
    And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
    It's love
    Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
    A rush
    A glance
    A touch
    A dance
    A look in somebody's eyes
    To light up the skies
    To open the world and send it reeling
    A voice that says, I'll be here
    And you'll be alright
    I don't care if I know
    Just where I will go
    'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling
    A rat-tat-tat on my heart
    Think I want it to stay
    City of stars
    Are you shining just for me?
    City of stars
    You never shined so brightly

      If you want to, you can. I'm self-taught since I was little. Now, without any real piano class in my background, I'm finally playing this same song.

    so incredibly beautiful, especially the second half of the song! you made the piano sing, and I can’t imagine how magical it would be to hear this live
