This is one of those times that wandering through youtube , you find something that gets you going like holy crap. This guy has inmense talent. Congrats
music streamers are a whole other breed of overall technicality you maintain the enthusiasm and engagement factor of a streamer, whilst still displaying your talent and ability to improv and rebound off the mood of the stream without losing a beat? i find it hard to be a drummer myself, let alone doing that stuff whilst streaming

13 years ago my wife walked down the aisle to that song. Tonight she's away from home and I'm here ugly crying with a big dumb smile on my face watching this. Thank you for sharing you gifts with the world Frank. And thank you to the donor for allowing this to happen.
Oh man, I hope you recover soon I cannot fathom what you went through but, wish you the best whatever happens in your future. EDIT: I just realized that I misinterpreted the comment. I guess this is what I do with my 2 remaining braincells at noon😅
I never comment, but I just need to get this off my chest. Months ago this video came up in my recommended, and I clicked on it for a good laugh. What I didn't expect was to experience one of the greatest displays of talent I've ever seen. Truthfully, that day, I was super depressed and suicidal; that's why I wanted a laugh. But this video moved me to tears. I cried over a cat piano. But its because a silly prompt was taken and turned into something beautiful. It not only showed me just how amazing music is, but how amazing people are. So now, whenever I'm having a hard day, I come back to this video to remind me of the beauty of life and the power we all possess to create. So I doubt the creator will see this, but I hope he knows he's changing lives. And I just want someone to know and understand just how much this stupid cat piano video means to me. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
I had a similar experience today with this. Maybe not as intense as yours but I can definetly feel it. I hope one day I can get myself together and finally sit down to that piano myself and start turning my life around doing what my heart longs for.
Best version of this song I have ever heard. Amazing as always Frank. When the cat came in reminded me of the time I accidentally ate some cat food. Don't ask me-ow..
The amount of unique skills being demonstrated here is insane to me. Playing by ear, with multiple different instruments, live, no sheet music, mixing it and all is just insane to me. The talent is insane
and the miracle of this is that you can play it in a club and if people are drunk enough they would absolutely shred to this. love it. certified banger.
I always find it crazy how so many different sounds can be played at the same time, yet somehow, in stead of utter chaos, its something beautiful like this.
@@ratyrat5bruv I think that’s basically what he’s saying. Like bands fall under the umbrella of “I feel like on paper it’d sound like crap, but it sounds really good actually”
It feels so somber, like a bittersweet moment at the end of a journey, then the cat piano comes in like a friend to remind you of all the good times. It’s truly beautiful.

@@stratabegood id understand your point if this was an edited video or something, but hes literally making the music live, i dont know how you want him to do the buildup faster lmao
@TooFarJohn my point is that most people work much harder than this for $1k. I'd certainly say that the overnight Target employee stocking shelves for 40 hours a week earns his $750 every 2 weeks much more than he earned that $1k for that song. It was really cool, he's really talented, but let's not overvalue stuff. Even for specialized labor, $1k is like 10 hours of work.
@@Xvladini’m assuming you’re not a musician. do you know how long it takes to master an instrument like he does? people pay not for the single performance but for the years he spent practicing + end product. not saying your job isn’t as important and ofc it takes a lot to earn that amount of money but the cases are different, you get it?
The cat piano rabbit hole never ceases to amaze, I hope that of all instruments to survive I hope in two thousand years ye old 2ks are remembered as “they really liked cats”
Why is the most beautiful version of Viva la Vida I’ve ever heard is a Cat Piano version? Seriously amazing stuff Tedesco, your music talent is astonishing.
This is honestly the best loop I've ever heard in my entire life. I was headbanging alone in my living room. I might have to watch this video every day for the rest of my life.
I can't believe I spent 16 minutes of my life watching a guy playing "Viva La Vida" on cat piano, but for some reason I'm pretty happy that I stayed till the end
When the cat instrument came up, my kitty suddenly jumped on my lap (she never does this normally) and just sat staring at your beautiful performance until it ended. After it finished she hopped off and left without saying a thing. But I made sure to clap for the wonderful entrancing performance!
I’m a beginner pianist, as in i’ve been doing it for half a year. The song i’m learning right now is this one, but basically only the first part as played on the cat piano and then even simpler. Yet somehow i felt weirdly proud of myself for being able to probably immitate what this guy does on the silly cat piano. Thanks for that. I hope one day i’ll get good enough to play it like he did on the normal piano
Seeing this whole process made me realize I know nothing about music when I thought I did. This was a professional in their element trying to recreate a pop song from memory and made it better.

You’re right and wrong. Yes, King Louis XVI was a person and he did give a speech, but he did not say anything that is interpreted into Coldplays song.
@@G0LDEN Well, probably these were the king's last words: "Gentlemen, I am innocent of everything of which I am accused. I wish that my blood may be able to cement the happiness of the French." The song's about what the king might have thought and felt before his execution.
This video came up on my feed and it’s exactly what I needed tonight. Life has been super tough as of late. Battling internal demons and family stuff. The viva la vida loop made me cry. I can’t express how much I needed this tonight. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
i dont know who you are, got this recommended to me, but that's an absolutely inspired music creation setup youve got going there. also the loop construction and improvisation was expert level
I was watching this again in 3am, and holy hell a tear came off my eye unknowingly. This truly was one of the best music display I have ever seen in my entire life, and I cannot stress it enough that you have to upload an official cover for this
13:30 Wow I love this part! Crazy cool tone 14:47 This chord progression is just simply beautiful! I love Coldplay, so have heard a lot of covers (especially Viva La Vida), but I assure you, nothing was as crazy or complex and really unique as this cover! It was amazing Frank!

i come back to this video when i'm sad and it always cheers me up. not only is this a fantastic performance that encapsulates your amazing skills, but your joy is so strong and infectious that it's like receiving a direct hit of seratonin to my brain. ive watched a few other videos of yours because of this one and in every one you always shine like the midsummer sun. thank you for doing what you do, sir, it means more than you could ever know for so many people. much love
this isn't just impressive. this is a pure gift of art and talent that not many can do. i was jaw dropped by this guys pure talent the whole time. gawd damn.
This is incredible. Fun story: back when I was a street performer many years ago, I happened to be absolutely butchering this song (voice was shot, end of a 4 hour set, and I was struggling to hit notes, excuses excuses lol) and who walks by but Chris Martin. He did the right thing given how bad I was singing which was to hide his face and hustle away. I suspect he would not have the same reaction if he heard this masterpiece.
LOL thats so funny a similar thing happened with a friend except a terrible solo rendition of paradise. Chris apparently came up out of nowhere and told him to stop, then handed him a $100 and told him to carry on and disappeared into the crowd again. He says it was the most confusing moment of his life.
So, I haven’t heard of your channel before, but I saw this on my home page. All it took was Viva La Vida and Cat Piano. Holy crap! You didn’t disappoint! This is just fantastic. All the layers just come together so well. You’re very talented, and I’m gonna go watch some of your other vids!
I absolutely loved the Viva la Vida performance, I do honestly want to know what that song was before he played. It sounded so majestic and peaceful in the best ways.
@@killingmachine52 really, I thought it was an anime sound track or something. Was so majestic and made me tear up. I started bawling tho when the arcade sine synth started playing in the main song
PLEASEEE do an official release of this, it is too amazing. holy shit. the fact that i stumbled across this on the first full day i was reunited with my cats after months of not being able to see them... i'm crying this made me so happy. i wanna buy this song. i wanna keep this song forever. please. this is making my autistic lil brain Very Happy.
I have no idea how I ended up here honestly but halfway through, the vibe got me. I picked up my electric guitar and started jamming & improvising. It was really fun. Great work!
literally gave me tears, it might be a silly instrument but the passion you radiated through everything you used to show your incredible skills sent shivers down my spine and made me envious to be as talented as you in my life. keep doing what youre doing, always.
this video right here has relit my love for music. ive been doing piano for 10 years, but lately i've been feeling a disconnect-- but you've shown the beauty that music truly can bring simply with this. i have a big fat smile on my face as im writing this-- im gonna go learn viva la vida on the piano, and subscribe to you :)
I just found this video randomly and had to immediately sub. This was such a great organic remix. Absolutely brilliant execution of an "in the moment" creation, all around! Bravo! Extra kudos for the cat meows! Have a great day/night meow!
First time I've ever seen your channel, I've done a lot of music, I have 7 years of professional choral training, a bunch of scholarships but that was genuinely the coolest thing I've ever heard. I'm gonna go practise the piano now. You're amazing!
This was too perfect, you deserve that huge donation Frank, you are amazing and it's so wholesome to see how greatful you are. Keep up the good work Frank, much love!
I have never seen your videos, but I loved this, I have never heard a keyboard sound so good in that opening minute, I didn't know it could sound that good at all
I like how most of this video is just the pure joy that comes from being so skilled at something that you can just DO IT no matter how stupid and rediculious, and the joy that comes from that freedom i feel that so hard when i write dumb fanfiction
your work is amazing. it's 4am and you just ignited a feeling inside me to work and grow just to feel the happiness of do my own music, just like you. I have a new dream now.
Simply beautiful. This is the first time I've come across your channel, and I know from this video alone that I am going to be hooked. Your talent is a gift, and it's incredible to watch. Thank you for doing what you do, and sharing your talent with the world.

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never a honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
You’re right and wrong. Yes, King Louis XVI was a person and he did give a speech, but he did not say anything that is interpreted into Coldplays song.
@@G0LDEN Well, probably these were the king's last words:
"Gentlemen, I am innocent of everything of which I am accused. I wish that my blood may be able to cement the happiness of the French."
The song's about what the king might have thought and felt before his execution.
The song always reminds me of the anime Code Geass, I think it fits pretty perfectly.
@@PiousSlayer god i loved that show
Came here for funny cat piano, left here with a history lesson
This guy is absolutely cracked. So talented and gives off such a cozy feeling! Hats off to this guy
This video came up on my feed and it’s exactly what I needed tonight. Life has been super tough as of late. Battling internal demons and family stuff. The viva la vida loop made me cry. I can’t express how much I needed this tonight. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
This was absurd, I wish I was watching this live. I envy the people that were part of the stream while he created this masterpiece.
The Viva la vida is soo damn good, but like, is it just me who finds the improvisation absolutely mesmerising???
Me too lol
13:37 was just amazing, would listen to this part on repeat. It’s just so amazing to have a bit of an electric swing to a cold play song.
i dont know who you are, got this recommended to me, but that's an absolutely inspired music creation setup youve got going there. also the loop construction and improvisation was expert level
I was watching this again in 3am, and holy hell a tear came off my eye unknowingly. This truly was one of the best music display I have ever seen in my entire life, and I cannot stress it enough that you have to upload an official cover for this
13:30 Wow I love this part! Crazy cool tone
14:47 This chord progression is just simply beautiful!
I love Coldplay, so have heard a lot of covers (especially Viva La Vida), but I assure you, nothing was as crazy or complex and really unique as this cover! It was amazing Frank!
What are these meant to be linking to?
@@Louis_2568parts of video the commenter refers to
@@Louis_2568 bot maybe? lol

@@Louis_2568 wait I actually thought i linked them properly, but I think he mightve shortened the video slightly? Or I'm an idiot. I've edited the time stamps so they're what I was actually referring too. Whoops!
The cat emote being in time with the music was great! Love the cover and seeing the process is so cool
I want an actual release of this cover so bad.
i come back to this video when i'm sad and it always cheers me up. not only is this a fantastic performance that encapsulates your amazing skills, but your joy is so strong and infectious that it's like receiving a direct hit of seratonin to my brain. ive watched a few other videos of yours because of this one and in every one you always shine like the midsummer sun.
thank you for doing what you do, sir, it means more than you could ever know for so many people. much love
this isn't just impressive. this is a pure gift of art and talent that not many can do. i was jaw dropped by this guys pure talent the whole time. gawd damn.
This is incredible.
Fun story: back when I was a street performer many years ago, I happened to be absolutely butchering this song (voice was shot, end of a 4 hour set, and I was struggling to hit notes, excuses excuses lol) and who walks by but Chris Martin. He did the right thing given how bad I was singing which was to hide his face and hustle away. I suspect he would not have the same reaction if he heard this masterpiece.
DUDE that's crazy. Hope it wasn't too embarrassing lol
@@nojiii704i can tell this guy still feels the embarrassment to this day
Do you know how self critical performers are, he/her is still recovering.@@nojiii704
There is only one way to undo your shame.
Get yourself rested and hydrated and warmed up and absolutely NAIL the vocal performance.
LOL thats so funny a similar thing happened with a friend except a terrible solo rendition of paradise. Chris apparently came up out of nowhere and told him to stop, then handed him a $100 and told him to carry on and disappeared into the crowd again. He says it was the most confusing moment of his life.
So, I haven’t heard of your channel before, but I saw this on my home page. All it took was Viva La Vida and Cat Piano. Holy crap! You didn’t disappoint! This is just fantastic. All the layers just come together so well. You’re very talented, and I’m gonna go watch some of your other vids!
dude the fact he was able to make this in 16 minutes AND on live, this is beautiful
In my recommendeds and I find such a great cover and a happy story of a generous donation to a clearly talented artist. So glad to stumble upon this.😊
This is dope! Got that city pop vibe. Great work!
This randomly got recommended to me, but holy cow. This man is so talented.
Holy meow you mean
I absolutely loved the Viva la Vida performance, I do honestly want to know what that song was before he played. It sounded so majestic and peaceful in the best ways.
It was improv
@@killingmachine52 really, I thought it was an anime sound track or something. Was so majestic and made me tear up. I started bawling tho when the arcade sine synth started playing in the main song
PLEASEEE do an official release of this, it is too amazing. holy shit. the fact that i stumbled across this on the first full day i was reunited with my cats after months of not being able to see them... i'm crying this made me so happy. i wanna buy this song. i wanna keep this song forever. please. this is making my autistic lil brain Very Happy.
Here I am again to ask if you could pleasepleaseplease do a full release :3
@@DezAmmySel😢
going on a music appreciation run, so just announcing my arrival and saying how much I adore your talent and energy!
this actually made me cry
I definitely think it was a 1000 dollar performance, loved watching you continue to add to it while maintaining the vibes
this is such an awesome stream setup, the way all the different layers of the song build up each other as they’re being made is just wonderful.
I have no idea how I ended up here honestly but halfway through, the vibe got me. I picked up my electric guitar and started jamming & improvising. It was really fun. Great work!
literally gave me tears, it might be a silly instrument but the passion you radiated through everything you used to show your incredible skills sent shivers down my spine and made me envious to be as talented as you in my life. keep doing what youre doing, always.
I think this is a sign to practice piano...
Don't you know it!
I went from vibing, to laughing at the absurdity of it all, right back to vibing again to a genuinely impressive mix. 10/10, fantastic
I feel like there are very few people in the world that can create a masterpiece like that featuring a toy cat piano 😆 Frank is the GOAT
I can’t remember the last time a UA-cam video made me beam from ear to ear.
Thank you for sharing this- it was exceptional
I wish I was this good at Piano and music in general. You're so talented! Keep up the excellent work!
The UA-cam algorithm blessed me with this find last night when I was having a bad trip and it calmed me down. Well-earned sub, my guy. ❤️
13:35 was perfect. What a solo!
this video right here has relit my love for music. ive been doing piano for 10 years, but lately i've been feeling a disconnect-- but you've shown the beauty that music truly can bring simply with this. i have a big fat smile on my face as im writing this-- im gonna go learn viva la vida on the piano, and subscribe to you :)
I feel compelled to write a comment and tell you I started JAMMIN when you pulled out the chorus with the cat piano. This was a fuckin masterpiece.
I just found this video randomly and had to immediately sub. This was such a great organic remix. Absolutely brilliant execution of an "in the moment" creation, all around! Bravo! Extra kudos for the cat meows! Have a great day/night meow!
I always love seeing Frank playing and doing his thing.
You deserve it my dude,
I watch alot of musicians in yt/twch and you surpass them by a mile mate.
Congrats
There's no reason to compare mate. Many of the musicians are on UA-cam and Twitch to get better. Frank is already at a very high level.
Holy cow, this was genuinely moving, emotional and beautiful.
First time seeing this guy, playing Coldplay on a cat piano, & I already love this guy. 😂
You did a 12 minute set mixing random cat meows into Coldplay, i think the 1000 was well earned xD
This is possibly the best advertisement for that Cat Piano. I'm gonna buy one and if anyone asks why I'll just show them this video.
And here you have me at work smiling at my screen for at least 10 minutes straight. You are great Frank!
First time I've ever seen your channel, I've done a lot of music, I have 7 years of professional choral training, a bunch of scholarships but that was genuinely the coolest thing I've ever heard. I'm gonna go practise the piano now. You're amazing!
This was too perfect, you deserve that huge donation Frank, you are amazing and it's so wholesome to see how greatful you are. Keep up the good work Frank, much love!
I have never seen your videos, but I loved this, I have never heard a keyboard sound so good in that opening minute, I didn't know it could sound that good at all
I like how most of this video is just the pure joy that comes from being so skilled at something that you can just DO IT no matter how stupid and rediculious, and the joy that comes from that freedom
i feel that so hard when i write dumb fanfiction
he makes this look so easy! breathtaking performance
Me in a finance meeting last week looking interested. My brain: "meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow"
I'm at a power plant singing meow in my head helping make sure people have electricity.
@@TXTrojanyou rock. Thank you so much for your work.
I came to see the cat piano but holy fuck the improvisation at the beginning took my complete attention
your work is amazing. it's 4am and you just ignited a feeling inside me to work and grow just to feel the happiness of do my own music, just like you. I have a new dream now.
Probably my favorite rendition of Viva la vida, what a wholesome moment
Simply beautiful. This is the first time I've come across your channel, and I know from this video alone that I am going to be hooked. Your talent is a gift, and it's incredible to watch. Thank you for doing what you do, and sharing your talent with the world.
