Right there with you! I am a massive Bowie fan. When I listened to the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust came to mind. The album is a story. Each song a new chapter in the story. This album is exactly that way! Totally with you on it bringing Bowie to mind. Also, the piano arrangement is very much like some of the things Mike Garson wrote.
Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Meatloaf. If this album came out 25 years ago it would be huge. These times don't appreciate this music. Maybe in the future people will recognise it.
I listened to the album all the way through and had tears throughout. It is an amazing story or self journey; Each song adding on from the last. By time you get to the final track, you are upbeat, yet in tears. Truly this is Andrews best work to date (and I have always been a fan of his!)
I listen to song almost everyday. Something about how he just sounds so genuine that you can tell he’s coming from a place that he’s been to before. This song is just a masterpiece in my eyes, especially the way he performs it here.
Fuckin absolute legend, can have some of the most energetic crazy performances ever but can also crush a performance like this. Also an incredibly nice guy who’s very appreciative of his fans, I’m a fan for life.
Andrew WK is a force for good.
BROTHER W.K...... You are so much stronger than anything going on in Life...... WHERE ARE YOU ???
beautiful...the whole album is a masterpiece and hopefully he should re-release it with a 2nd cd with all this songs in this piano acoustic versions
oh yeah, that would be amazing.
There’s not many things I wouldn’t do for this to happen
"Music is worth living for," is a sentence that keeps me going every single damn morning.
Me too Bob.
This sounds so much like a david bowie song. This isn't really what I expected from Andrew W.K., but I really like it!
In what way? I'm not disagreeing with you, just wondering what you picked up on in particular.
For me, Andrew's vocal tone and delivery is very Bowie-esque at times. It's brilliant. Such an inspiring, beautiful song and performance. :)

Aaron Pellerin I was thinking the same way. He’s got the deep hollow vibrato to his voice that reminded me of Bowie.
This album saved me from the darkness
You and I both, friend.

Absolutely. When I needed him, he returned.

I'm not crying.
Someone put tears on my pillow.
This is what I want from Andrew W.K.
Watching someone play the piano shows the true ability of their talent; broken down into a raw format. Andrew W.K. is the real Guardian of the Galaxy.
And I guessed we showed them all. Thanks for this.
How does this not have 1MM views?
One millimeter views
...growing up, Party Hard was my anthem..these days, this is my anthem.
I love coming back here every few months. Party Hard!
This song hits me right in the feels.
Completely! It was such a treat to have him sit down and play an intimate song on the piano. Thank you so much for watching!
q on cbc No, thank you for posting the video!
Andrew WK's music has saved me several times throughout my life.
Andrew is worth living for
The song I want played at my funeral
Damn, and I thought the cd release version was moving....then he up and does this. Well done Andrew. Well done
I've never seen someone own a piano like Andrew does in this video. It's beautiful.
This gave me goosebumps when I heard it in CBC this morning 💙
I wasn't expecting such an amazing ending
It's a very Andrew W.K. sort of ending :)
I listen to song almost everyday. Something about how he just sounds so genuine that you can tell he’s coming from a place that he’s been to before. This song is just a masterpiece in my eyes, especially the way he performs it here.
The raw emotion in it is oddly calming in a way. It’s amazing how such a strong song can sound so peaceful when it’s done acoustically
I really hope he does an acoustic album and really show off his vocals some more like this.
Just jaw dropping. Wish I could come up with a superlative that explains how amazing this is.
Buy the album...for sure
Oh my god I never knew how much I needed this until right now
Thank you Andrew
Music is one of the best medicine for the soul.
Absolutely superb. 💯
That ending though... still amazing.
"UuuuuUggghhhh"
Love all of Andrew's work but this particular song just speaks to me 🥺 you'll probably never read this but thanks for the art, piano party God. 🙏🤘

PRESIDENT OF THE EARTH
To the one person that disliked this video, I’m not mad... I’m just disappointed.
It's 2 now.
@@IanMcGarr It's Andrew WK for missing up a lyric. Made another account and gave it another thumbs down.
Forgive them cuz they dont know what they are doing
His voice reminds me of David Bowie.
Is this available ANYWHERE for download?
Anyone know where could find sheet music for this?
Thoughts and prayers to the folks who dislike this video.
😢
Almost hung myself, boys. Andrew helped me not to. My dad, too, but he doesn't know.
His voice is as powerful and as good as Freddie Mercury in my opinion
Anyone else got this on rockband
No?
I'm sorry, but that ending made me laugh lol
Eughhhh
( t h a t e n d i n g i s s o l a m e ) but great performance Andrew!!
Fuckin absolute legend, can have some of the most energetic crazy performances ever but can also crush a performance like this. Also an incredibly nice guy who’s very appreciative of his fans, I’m a fan for life.
