Awesome!! So happy you enjoyed this one. Thank you 😊❤️
one of my top favorite NES Video games soundtrack. I used to repeat this track allllllllllllll the time!
This is absolutely amazing!! The way you started with t intro and how you entered the main notes it was simply exquisite!
Wonderful! Thank you so much Juan 🤖💙
Dead or alive - you coming with me.
Thanks.

One year later ... I'm surprised this only has 826 likes ! On truly one of the best covers on this theme ever .
Maybe we'll reach 1000 likes soon! Thank you and you are always welcome back 🤖
@@KatjaSavia awesomeness ty
Love this!
Always thought the RoboCop theme song sounded very heroic, but with this piano cover, you also emphasize the emotional side of the character. ❤
RoboCop has been one of my favorite movies since I saw it for the first time at the age of 12, seen it now over 20 times! 👌🏻
Thank you! The composition is well made and I can hear the past life lived in the music, the emotional side of the character. You've seen the movie many times which I appreciate. Such a great and entertaining film! 🤖💙
Only 20 times? Hold my beer. LOL
Ensimmäinen omistamani elokuva (VHS-kasetilla). Musiikki on jäänyt ikuisesti mieleen. Todella upea sovitus!
Vau, sä oot selkeesti hyvien elokuvien ystävä! Tällaset tunnarit jää kyllä ikuisesti mieleen. Jos kiinnostaa muut vastaavanlaiset biisit, niin kanavalta löytyy hurja määrä lisää 🤖💙
His friends call him Murphy. We call him... ROBOCOP!
Agreed 🤖💙
Не знаю почему так мало лайков, но это одно из лучших исполнений которые я слышал. Мелодия просто шедевр, почтение автору. Исполнение тоже на высоте, спасибо за труд.
Thank you so much 🤖💙
I love RoboCop 1987❤
You have a great taste 🤖💙
I never would have thought this would be a piece/theme you would ever do, but it's a very interesting and pleasant surprise for sure...phenomenal job as always Katja!
Andrew, I'm here to surprise you! Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the theme and fits quite well for the piano. 🤖❤
What an amazing piece played beautifully ♥️
Thank you John 🤖❤
Awesome, you really captured the emotions of the film😊
Wonderful! Thank you 🤖💙
An extremely lovely piece Katja!
Thank you Flip 🤖❤
Your music is a joy and soothing to listen to. Such elegance.
Ooh, thank so much dear 🤖❤
Excellent!! Love your own little haunting touch to this classic score!!
Happy you enjoyed this one! Thank you 🤖❤
Omg!! This is fantastic!! Robo is one of my all time favorites. Such talent!!
Wonderful! Thank you Chad 🤖❤
Hopefully just 2 (or 2.5 ) comments this time:
1) I wish I had a recording or could fully explain what happened the first time I "watched" this video.
SOMETHING like this: I got a notification of the video, but I was in the middle of some work. I clicked on it to listen to the Audio, figuring I'd watch the actual VIDEO later. My phone apparently was having a problem, and the sound that I could hear was very much like just an 8-bit arcade game. I thought, "Oh, well, that's odd. Did Katja just play the simplest version of the theme and leave it at that? Interesting. A little hard to believe. Did I click on the wrong thing?" And then, before I could check my phone, the sound stopped. And THEN this whole melodic amazing torrent of Deep and complex Chords started up, and I thought my phone had just jumped to another piece entirely. And I literally said aloud, "JESUS GOD! I don't know what piece of music this is, but it is STUNNING! I thought I had heard all (or at least most) of Katja's videos. How did I miss THIS?! This is awesome!"
It turns out that the "Awesome Holy Jesus!" moment was still the Robocop Theme... about 23 seconds in where it becomes TRULY AMAZING! Don't ask me WHAT my phone was doing BEFORE that. (I know the intro is Simple, but my phone was making it WAY simpler. Maybe a memory issue.)
... ... ... Okay, in SHORT: I was really Freakin' MOVED! Awesome arrangement, awesomely performed by an awesome musician!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH US, KATJA!!!
2) AND: What do you mean IF they make me work after I'm dead? LOL... I haven't had a pulse in years, but taxes on the castle STILL must be paid! 😉❤💓
That's an interesting technical issue! Hmm, it must be because it is one of the greatest themes related to machines. Haha! I'm so happy you enjoyed this piece Brian! Such wonderful piece by Poledouris. Thank you so much love 🤖❤
Marvellous! Very dark and suits you perfectly
Thank you so much 🤖❤
brilliant !
Thank you ❤
Lovely Cover
Thank you so much 🤖💙
Great rendition Katja, I love it! Next, The Terminator Love Theme😉😘
It is on my mind. I love the theme! Thank you Keith 🤖❤
wonderful! I was very moved, it's like going back in time! Congratulations on the performance.
Wow, that's wonderful! Thank you 🤖💙
I listent about 25 secs. I had to search the original, because I didn't remember that the original was this good. So I listened the original and came back here.
I like your version more. Thou, It's been probably 15 years when I last time saw Robocop.
Wow, that's amazing! Thank you so much for listening and for the kind comment.❤️15 years! How about re-watching it again? 🤖
Caramba, qué buen cover y qué hermosa pianista!
Gracias 🤖💙
Very nice!
Thank you 🤖💙
Thanks, I've just herd it about ten or even more times!

Huikean kaunis toi alku ja sitten kun tulee tuttu melodia niin oli kyllä aivan että ihanaa!!
Kiitos! Tää biisi toimii yllättävän hyvin pianolla. Upea teos 🤖❤
Katja, this was certainly an interesting surprise, and one that I am grateful for. I love that you have been covering so many songs from the 80s, the best decade ever. It's amazing to me how you are able to take such huge orchestral songs and condense them down so beautifully to a single instrument, and yet continue to carry the same weight and emotion of the original. You are truly gifted. I love the martial cadence and sense of purpose that this piece carries with it. Robocop wouldn't be who he is without the soul of the man that powers him, and Murphy was the best candidate. If it had been anyone else, that sense of justice and integrity would not be the same. I actually didn't watch the movie until I was much older, as so many action films from the time have so much violence, and this one is no exception. I won't watch the remake because I know it can't come near the level and feel of the original, unlike your cover which, as I said earlier, captures the essence and magnifies it sublimely. Your songs are nothing less than incredible, just like you. Thank you for renewing another classic from better times and sharing your special gifts with us. I cannot wait for your next wonderful masterpiece. Elämässä ja kuolemassa, ajasta ja etäisyydestä riippumatta, tulen palvelemaan ja tukemaan sinua ikuisesti, suloinen tumma neitini, Katja.
Yes, I really wanted to surprise you with this project! My initial thought was how the heck can I arrange it for the piano but somehow it worked. It was a surprise for me too. You are absolutely right! Murphy was the best candidate: he had a sense of justice and integrity. How do you feel about ED-209? Thank you so much, dear ❤🤖
@@KatjaSavia I love ED-209! I have always been fascinated by robots and battle mechs! I think that without the soul, as Robocop had, that despite his physical advantages, he will always be less than his potential. That is one of the important lessons from the movie, that over reliance on technology without the human element will always lead to destruction. You are so amazing! 👮♀💜💀
Now we know that staircases are the weakness of ED-209 🤭
This was great. i find myself humming the robocop theme to myself all the time, and now I have a new composition to sing.
So happy you like it and are humming the theme! Someone mentioned that the RoboCop theme could be modified to be played as a wedding march?! I think it could work. Thank you so much 🤖❤
Fantastic work, i love the instrumental piano version.
Wow, thank you so much 🤖💙
amazing
Thank you 🤖❤️
Ok I listened to all of the different piano styles done of the song on UA-cam and yours is absolutely the best. The others are too robotic, too fast, but yours has the feeling of the emotion that carries through regarding what that movie is about. The pain the loss and resurrection. The way you hit the notes is absolutely on point. Bravo! I felt that peace 👏
Thank you so much! I love your feedback! Poledouris did an amazing job with the compositions: the main theme starts off mechanical evolving to majestic but then has a fragile section there as well. Like representing the past life lived. 🤖💙
Amazing sound a style dear Katja 🙌
Wonderful! Thank you so much Chris 🤖❤
Beautiful

Well done this should have been in the ending credits of the Robocop movie
Ooh, thank you so much 🤖❤
Wow that was outstanding. I was wondering how you were going to pull it off and wow. I love it.
Thank you so much! Easy to play music made by the great maestro himself 🤖💙
Manischewitz.
You do show up at the best times. Nice to hear you again.
Awesome! Thank you so much 🤖💙
Great version of one of my favorite movie themes 😍 Funny fact (that many might already know): original Robocop trailer had Terminator's music in it instead of this. The actual theme wasn't ready at the time I guess. 😎
Hmm, I'm guessing the Terminator track was used as a "temp score/track". Both tracks have similarities but RoboCop is more colorful and melodic. Thank you so much 🤖❤
Bravo! What a beautiful piece of music. I loved the passion you played it with as well. Hope all is well with you.
Thank you so much! All is well 🤖❤
@@KatjaSavia haha love the robo emoji! Always look forward to your next video. You're a true artist- always keep being this way x
Magnific!!!

Beautiful rendition.
On a separate note, for just a moment, I thought you were wearing some sort of multiple armed costume because of your black shirt and shadow behind you! 😂
Again, beautifully played
Ooh! That would have been neat! Thank you so much 🤖❤
Nice, especially from #1:28 and later :). So melodic...
Isn't it, it's super melodic! Thank you Dimitris and happy new year ❤❤❤
@@KatjaSavia Happy New year!!! I wish you the best and keep up the great work 💯💪 Greetings from Greece. :)
The menu screen for the game Robocop: Rogue City has a piano version of the theme just like yours!!
Yes, I'm so happy they decided to have a piano version. Sounds so good 🥰❤️

ALSO: meta-comment: Wow! I'm see apparently 211 views in less than 24 hours of general release! Wow! So happy for YOU! 😀😃😄
I have now listened to about 10 different covers of this theme... and I still like this one the best. (and, no, NOT just because it's You. ... ... although that does have SOME influence.) 🙂❤
Elokuvassa on kyllä klassisia kohtauksia... En ole hetkeen nähnyt, mutta olen kyllä elokuvan nähnyt monta kertaa..
Ei kannata pitää naista suojakilpenä 😜
Haha! Joo siinä on kyllä paljon hyviä kohtauksia ja mahtava tunnelma loppuun saakka. 😁❤🤖
Good song.
Isn't it? A great song 🤖💙
@@KatjaSavia you are right.😀
Great video, for some reason, when watching I pictured the end of the movie when he's asked his name, & replies "Murphy."
I love that ending! It's exactly how a film should end. Thank you RJ 🤖❤
Encore!
Haha, thank you 🤖💙
This theme song always makes me think of James Pond 2: Robocod maybe I should do that song too. ;-)
best part in my opinion 2:01
It's beautiful! That section reminds of past life lived 💔
God Bless
❤️❤️❤️

I didn't remember the Robocop theme being so mesmerizing, dear tumma prinsessa! 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤 I like that the tempo and somehow also the mood are constantly changing! 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤 You look amazing in black as always, even if not quite as sexy as in your post on Instagram yesterday, but this outfit would probably have been too hot for UA-cam and not quite suitable for minors too! 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤 I love the piano camera, your step-over on the piano at 0:39, the crazy jumps with your left hand, your magic ring and your shiny fingernails, your delicate fingers, which as always slide over the keys like little spiders and of course your fascinating facial expressions while playing! 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤 Odotan jo innolla jatko-osaa (Robocop vs. tumma prinsessa), jossa tumma kreivitär kuumalla asullaan saa tinavastustajansa hikoilemaan ja ruostumaan ja sitten hävittää elektroniikkajätteen ja orgaanisen jätteen erikseen! 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤 Toivottavasti ymmärrät suomenkieltäni, joka näyttää jo kirjoitettuna aika siistiltä, mutta jos sen luet ääneen, se kuulostaisi varmasti aika hauskalta, mutta myös seksikkäältä! 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤 If I counted correctly, I just used the letter "ä" 17 times in two sentences! 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤
Frank, how the heck can you write Finnish so well?? Do you take Finnish lessons? Do you happen to have special abilities? I love your sequel idea! And especially the way RoboCop would be recycled. Haha! Thank you Frank 🤖❤
great vid. any chance of a 420 video as it is soon?
Robocop rogue city make me come here
That's awesome 🤖💙
A beautiful interpretation of this glorious theme ! I have played - my own version of - this countless times on my keyboard but not nearly as intricate or complex as this . I've never been able to nail those high notes at the very beginning for some reason . I've also struggled with that "rising" section at 0:34 . Am i correct in thinking there's quite a few suspended chords used in this theme - the original and your version ? It really does work well on piano ....would love to hear an organ rendition !
Thank you! Yes, those sections you mentioned are challenging and need a lot of work. Awesome that you have been playing this theme as well! Piano is an amazing instrument since it can mimic other instruments so well. There are some suspended chords, yes. 🤖💙
Great to hear back from you ! I've always found a "companion piece" to this theme is Poledouris' Klendaathu Drop cue from Starship Troopers : although it sounds distinctly different from the Robocop theme it does seem to utilise the same chords / sequencing . You could do a great job with that too ...if you haven't already 🙂👍@@KatjaSavia
