This video having less than a million views is proof there is still work to do on the youtube algo. I keep coming back here for a listen. Channeling Billy... this is fantastic @benaramo
Great piano, great voice.. and the best is when all that comes together with a person who feels and lives music!!!! Really amazing!!! Thank you for this beautiful version! 🙏
Wow!! Great version of a great song, both on piano arrangement and vocal....had never heard of Ben Eramo until this popped up on YT, thanks to the algorithm....both LIKED and Subscribed.
Awesome! ! I used to play the piano when I was young. So you can see how wonderful piano playing is. In addition, the song and voice are exceptionally wonderful!
This is a fantastic cover! Whoever this is, I hope you get as much well paying work as you want, and I hope people with a lot of money see this so you can get to a platform befitting your light.
Brother, this is beautiful. The intro itself is a masterpiece- you do such a great job of "overplaying" but SO tastefully hahahahaha. It's all just enough to make people with a music background laugh and smile but also impress people with other points of view!!
Bravo, absolutely amazing, just learning how to play the piano, and this is one song I would love to learn. Someday, I hope I'm half as good as this version. Thanks for the inspiration! 👍🙏
When I look up a song I always want a cover. Yours was the first one that came up. I love how you are interpreting it as your special song. A fantastic and extremely talented performer!!
I don't think most people realize that all these awesome covers we see on YT are pre-recorded and then lip synced. Still, the piano playing is awesome and you did the song real justice. Congrats!
Thank you! This isn’t lip synced - the slight variation between the audio and video actually comes from me recording the audio separately from the video and then splicing them together. Because there’s a very slight difference in sample rate, the video gets ahead of the audio towards the end. Still working on mastering that haha
I'm still surprised at how little traction your performance has received. (or, i'm just an odd bird) cuz I watch/listen to your rendition several times each month. As I said before, I still think you've smashed it~
I've been playing piano for over 20 years and I watched this with a huge smile on my face the whole time.
Thanks, Chris, I appreciate the kind words!!
I love Billy Joel for what he left us. You did such a great job in every way! A nice cover with a lot of your own character. Respect Buddie
The piano on this is absolutely nuts
Thank you, Robert!
@@beneramo9800 is your keyboard transposing this down from C major. I think I see C major in your piano but I might be hearing A major.
@@RoastOfEmpires Yes, I believe I was transposed down -2 to B flat just to reach some of those high notes!
How much would you charge for sheet music on this, or a tutorial?
@@RoastOfEmpires I will try to work on a tutorial!
This should really go viral
Super all of it! This is not the first time I found this video and surely not the last. Just fantastic

There are so many times i come back to this... ❤❤❤
Can't believe this didn't blow up. You did amazing. UA-cam algorithm doesn't do justice so many times, and this is one of them.
Thanks so much, I appreciate you taking a peak!
Great piano, great voice.. and the best is when all that comes together with a person who feels and lives music!!!! Really amazing!!! Thank you for this beautiful version! 🙏
This is as good or better.... than BJ's original ! Great talent... playing and singing together always astounds me. More..more..Encore!
piano skill enough for youtube content, singing quality enough for youtube content. but bro having both. 100!
Я это слушаю, наверное, 20 раз

I used to play the piano when I was young.
So you can see how wonderful piano playing is.
In addition, the song and voice are exceptionally wonderful!
Many tried to cover that song. I found only three people who performed it perfect. One of them are you. Thank you.
Wonderful.
Fantastic mate. You made the song your own and not just a cheap cover. Coming from a life long BJ fan, this is amazing!
That was so awesome!! Really superb!
Amazing🙏🏼
This popped up on my home page a week ago or so. My dude, you absolutely kill it here. I wish I had those skills on the keys!
Dude, thank you so much for the kind words! More is coming soon!
Big smile indeed 😁

Ben, I never tire of this. I wish we weren’t on opposite coasts as I’d love to play together someday
Thanks so much Tim! It means a lot. What part of California are you from?
@@beneramo9800 we are about an hour inland from SF
It’s like a very young Billy Joel singing and playing the piano. Very impressive!
Absolutely beautiful
LOVELY
This is so...... Unbelievable.... Amazing
