I will never grow tired of that “yeaaaaaaaaah”.
Always brightens my day.
When I was editing this, I wasn't sure if I should keep that intro or just begin with the piece... but I think it's nice for people to see the banter between us and Derek and to see Derek's personality so I kept it. I'm glad you commented - now I'm sure it was the right choice.😍
@@derekparavicini Skill is meaningless without a personality or soul behind it. I enjoy his vocals. 💜
@@derekparavicini You need to peddle his personality more!!!! haha
@@derekparavicini everytime i hear this song now I say "yoshi island Matt, yeahhhhhh" in my head. so thanks for keeping it in. :)
Love getting to hear Derek's personality come through! His comments are so much fun to listen to in "Derek Style" 😊
Koji Kondo made some really cool ragtime style songs for Super Mario games back in the 90's. This is definitely one of the better ones.
Derek's hands are magical!
There’s something in the way Derek improvises, it’s like you can see his fingers are like slow motion deciding what they will play, it’s just so casual even with complex arrangements, it inspires me, he’s one of the most beautiful representations of flow and oneness I’ve ever come across! Thank you Derek and co!
"slow motion" lol
Yes that’s true
Derek really has the groove! We totally agree. One that comes to mind as a great example of flow is his recent cover of 'You're Not Alone' (in his #shorts).
Tom Brier’s version is better
0:46 that walking bass, insane work as always Derek !
Fully agreed it makes this rag time even more inventive. Derek has so many variations in his mind around any pivotal theme he picks. So joyful trip he invites us to take.
It's a tragedy only 4k people have seen this!!!!
There is such joyful energy in this arrangement! It reminds me of Art Tatum.
Derek and Art Tatum have a lot in common I think. We agree on the joyful energy!
been listening to this one probably every single month since it came out. Derek is so expressive
Speaking as the person who filmed and suggested playing Derek this one - I also have listened to it constantly since we released it because I love it so much. I knew it would be a good fit with Derek's style, but even after years of working with him, his playing never stops blowing my mind every time.
I love these video game renditions. Amazing!
More on the way!
Derek....!!!! Stunning!!!!!!
Please do Pianoflage by Roy Bargy! I'm sure you will love his style if you don't know him yet!
This deserves to have millions of views
gave me goosebumps!
AMAZING!!!!! REALLLLLLY GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!!!! Tom brier was great altho his sad siduation means no new content unfortunately!! ur channels really underrated!! Would really love if Derek done all of Toms video game videos as I actually transcrib them to midi and as Toms is shot with low quality sound Derek would flesh it out enough to modern high quality sound.... Aww so glad u put content out related to Derek!!!!
What a genius Derek!!
The way it was meant to be played!
God itself plays through Derek.
still the most wicked and groovy version of this song!!! Love this
FANTASTIC!!!!
Nice rendition! I love the walking bass line and the improvisation.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 😊👍👍Enjoyed it so much! Thank you, Derek!
I watch piano videos most nights and recently found your channel. Wow you’re wonderful watched Yoshi’s island at least ten times 😊
That's really good to hear! Glad Derek has a new fan.😄 Do you have any requests for us to pass on? You can pick a song, style and/or even a specific key! He loves getting requests.
Thank you for replying to my comment . Magnetic rag is one of my favourites , Derek could play it as Scott Joplins original script or he could play it his own way , in any key he is amazing it would be great to hear him play it his way !
👏👏👏👏👏👏 That was brilliant
Outstanding Derek! 🍻
Ahh takes me back to better days - thank you Derek.
Feel free to leave Derek some other nostalgic requests!
@@derekparavicini Thank you ! Think I might have requested this before but would loooove to hear Derek's take on Mega Man 2 (NES) or Mega Man X (SNES) that would be 🔥😍
So happy I found this. This is incredible
Can you do K.K. Ragtime? I love that simple tune!
Great suggestion - That would be an excellent one for Derek to build on. We'll definitely play it for him, thanks!
I'd love to hear Derek play Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2!
thank you for sharing Derek with us and the world. His music brings me so much joy.
hes a star
So much fun! One of my favourite Derek takes for sure! Fabulous improv :)
Definitely one of our favourites too. We've been waiting to release this one. =)
Very Catchy Derek!!! Really enjoyed this one, keep up the great work buddy!!!
He is absolutely amazing!
One of the best I’ve heard so far. And is he BLIND?
The camera angle reminds me of chocolate rain. That's a cover that needs to be made. What a talent
Astounding!
One of my favorites, and I have never heard it like this! So awesome Derek! The Kirby series has some awesome songs. Same with Megaman and Sonic. Love the dives into classic gaming music :]
Sounds outstanding! Obviously Derek can't really do stride because that does require sight to be able to hit the low notes accurately. That was still an awesome interpretation, very jazzy!
Amazing
Lovely and very good
That's how you pronounce Yoshi even if you were wrong before
So good and looks like a ton of fun to play!
Wow, nicely done!
Very nice. Thank you Derek.
So good!! Loved it
Amazing as always!
That was amazing!
👏👏👏👏👏👏amazing
Damn, that was really good!
really good angles!!!!
Thank you!
I'm sure you get a lot of Undertale requests, but I would love to hear Derek's take on Snowdin Town
Also this is amazing
HE'S the GOAT
Love it, well done Derek!!
Has Derek ever tried to play Rush E, or any other "black MIDI" music? I think it would be interesting to see what he can do with something deemed humanly impossible to play.
I get a lot of inspiration hearing him play, being a visually impaired autistic person myself :D
Really good
❤ ❤❤
*OH MY GOD* 😳
❣️😻❣️
Someone tell him about david wise and the sticker bush symphony 😁
Can someone transcribe this?
Does Derek know of Tom Briar?
May the Father keep blessing you and yours buddy🤗
