Thank you so much everyone, your comments mean a lot to me! I created this version after hearing the instrumental version by David Foster. I really wanted to create a solo piano version that translated as much of the original as possible to one piano. Unfortunately I created this version in my head and haven't actually notated the sheet music. If there is demand for it, I will certainly look at doing so.
This is great! I've been on a kick with this song for a while and just downloaded the sheets. I don't play often, but this version is inspiring, for sure. The song seems simple, but there's some tricky changes in there, for sure.
I would very much like to have the music sheet of your amazing version, for personal use. Or the overhead video of your performance, which should take less time. Please name your price. Your effort and talent should be appropriately rewarded. Drop me a line at nguyendmmd@gmail.com. Best.
I would love this if you could make the sheet music available for it! I've been wanting to learn this song forever and haven't found a good option for sheet music for it!
As a child every Saturday morning, well many of Saturday mornings my sister would play this song on the piano. I hated it and her for it, because the headboard to my bed was on the other side of the wall from the piano. And I was trying to sleep in. 20+ years later, I dearly miss this era in my life and this song reminds me of the most magical and innocent part of my life. Thank you Kevin Bluemel for allowing me to hear again some of the best tunes that I have ever heard!!!
I get watery-eyed whenever I hear this masterpiece of a song. It is so iconic of an era long gone-by that I will always cherish from my childhood. 48 years old now and wishing I could go back to the '80s for one day to live and appreciate the hell out of it because now I know it will be gone forever.
Oh Kevin, how this moved me! I wish you would produce a sheet music arrangement for us, I'd buy it! I'm a fairly decent pianist, and this song (especially the lyrics in the sung version) is a true tribute to my late wife... how I'd love to play this like you one day... THANK YOU for giving us your gift of music!!
This is a score that originally had various accompaniments and as such wouldn't work as well in respect of dynamics with a solo piano. But, you just turned that on its head with what you demonstrated here. I realise you don't need to hear what you already know but what a talented and skilled pianist you are
Every time I hear this song, it brings me back to my childhood in school, my choir teacher use to play this tune as part of warm up for our vocals. Oh the memories and calmness it use to bring.
This is by far the best cover I've heard. I've always loved David Foster's music since I was 10 years old and that was 1986. The first time I heard David's instrumental of this that same year, I told my mother that when I grow up, I would marry him. When asked why, my answer was so he could play me this music every night 😁.
it's true the piano is an orchestral instrument, you've arranged the piece to include everything, rhythm, melody, harmonies, colours, expressions, sentiments. Great rendition indeed, really loved it very much. Thanks a lot
Kevin: This was dynamic, interesting and a very accurate rendition regarding the arrangement and performance. You bring out the parts and the mellifluous melody in perfect proportions. Your playing style is expressive and rendering justice to the piece. Your phrasing, tone, touch, and texture was immaculate. I bid you well in your future.
Okay so this is a piece I have played or tried to play since the movie came out in 1985. Your graceful fingers and obvious joy and peace is evident when you play. I wish I could mimic your talent, but I’ll settle for enjoying yours. Thank you for sharing your gift. Oh and of course Terms of endearment is my other favorite. Play on piano man. ❤️
I like the song my heart is so sad and I make the right choice to do the best love and georgrous husband.. I love it that is my number one song thank you for restoring this song this is already my favorite
Also theme song to Free Willy made me cry it was so beautiful. You are an amazing inspiration to me and my daughter. After she watched your videos, she sat down at the keyboard and played the entire accompaniment to Prelude after hearing it one time. I couldn't believe it.I just taught her a few chords that's about it. But she just played the entire full accompaniment by ear. Very few people have the gift of playing by ear. Thank you for inspiring my little girl.
Excellent performance Mr. Kevin Bluemen .A question is that the original sheet music for piano by Mr. David Foster or is it an arragement by you?how could i get this arregament for piano , Could you tell me please....I liked it so much.
This was my grandfather’s favorite piano piece and I got to play it for him before he passed away. Just listening to this made me cry. ❤
❤️

certainly there are demand. I think your version will supersede david foster's if it is available on the web. Please notate it. I like it desperately.
Kevin Bluemel I'd buy it also , any way possible digital download , pdf, etc or by email pay thru paypal
This is great!

I absolutely love this song! Walked down the isle to it last year for my wedding!

Best version I've heard of this song. Very moving, took my breath away!
He has the most graceful form I have seen. I could just watch his hands with the sound muted and still hear the music.
Still the best version of this song in the world. Looking forward to when you're feeling better my friend.
Wow!.....just...wow!! Loved hearing you play this. It's such a beautiful song, and a true classic.
the best cover I ever seen..
