I'm always amazed by the quality of your piano covers. Your arrangement of your piano covers, piano performance & sound production are always top notch and this is no exception. Besides that, I always like how you're able to connect with your listeners at a very emotional level through your piano covers. You've certainly expressed a lot of emotions through this piano cover. Terrific work, Chris, and looking forward to more marvelous piano cover from you.
I’m sure I’ve said it before Ronald, but man - you write by far the kindest comments on UA-cam! Thank you so much for listening and taking the time to write those beautiful words - truly means a lot to me! ❤️
This is stunning. I love how it doesn’t sound exactly like the song because you added some stuff to it. It makes it so much more emotional. I love it so much ❤️❤️
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night You know that I caught it Bad, bad boy Shiny toy with a price You know that I bought it Killing me slow, out the window I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes What doesn't kill me makes me want you more And it's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feeling I've got And it's ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules in breakable heaven But ooh, whoa oh It's a cruel summer With you Hang your head low In the glow of the vending machine I'm not dying You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times We're not trying So cut the headlights, summer's a knife I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know Oh, it's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feeling I've got And it's ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules in breakable heaven But ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer With you I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh) And I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? He looks up grinning like a devil It's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feeling I've got And it's ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules, in breakable heaven But ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer With you I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (h) Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh) And I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
Einfach nur wunderschön!!! Das Original hat einen coolen Text, gefällt mir auch musikalisch sehr und verbreitet Sommerstimmung.... Deine Version enthält die Bestandteile des Originals und zusätzlich eine sehr melancholische Note.... Ich finde deine Version kann die Zuhörer gleichzeitig zum Lächeln und zum Weinen bringen.... 😥😌wirklich einmalig! Vielen Dank fürs Teilen!! 🌈
Wie immer freue ich mich sehr, dass dir meine Version gefallen hat! Gleichzeitig Lächeln und Weinen - genau wie die Sommerromanze des Originals :-) Wobei wir leider nicht wissen, wem der Text gebührt. Die verbreitete Meinung ist, dass es sich dabei um Taylor Swift's aktuellen Partner Joe Alwyn und die ersten Anfänge ihrer Beziehung handelt. Das halte ich aber nicht wirklich für plausibel, da Joe Alwyn so gar nicht zu dem "Bad Boy" Image aus dem Text passt... Soviel zu ungefragten Swiftie Fan-Infos von meiner Seite :-D Hab einen tollen Tag!
@@RelaxingPianoCovers Vielen Dank für die Taylor Swift Insider- Infos :-) Ja, es wäre interessant zu wissen , welche Person tatsächlich dahinter steckt! ( oder ob es sich um ihre reine Phantasie handelt ) Wünsche dir ebenfalls einen schönen Tag!🎼
"Devil roll the dice ~Angel roll their eyes" Eine schöne spritzige Klavierversion ,die keineswegs *cruel* klingt "And it's ooh , whoa ,oh"🤭👍🎹👌sehr schön
Ein paar Stellen meines Arrangements wie das Intro/Outro sind ein klein bisschen “cruel” zu spielen - jedenfalls musste ich einen Tag lang dafür üben 😅
Noo, this is way too short for me, I was totally feeling the vibe and I wish that could have lasted way longer! Man, your skills are like. So good. I love your cover so much and it's probably gonna be on repeat for me for quite a while. I love this song, but honestly I love your cover of it more. Thank you for this!!!
Dud, I said to my teacher that i would have three songs ready for next school year and you are making me choose wisely, cause of course it is going to one of your Taylor Swift covers. Anyways, love the cover.
Hello, I would like to know how do you record the sound and make cover by playing grand piano? Do you have a silent piano sound system or do you use microphone? Thanks!
Can I ask how do you arrange the songs? I would like to know since I somehow came up with an arrangement myself but it doesn’t sounds as good. Also, I notice how you went an Octave higher in some verse, why so?
I'll try to answer your questions, although the full answer is probably a bit too long for a UA-cam comment :-) I always start my arrangements by learning the song by ear straight from the recording - that is the melody, the chords, the bass line and any important parts of the arrangement like vocal harmonies, any breaks before the chorus, rhythmic hits, energy curves etc etc. Then I sit down at the keyboard and improvise around that original structure. I record this process and try to come up with a few different takes. I listen back to my recording and decide on the parts I like the most. I transcribe those and put them together as a basic arrangement. The last step is to refine that basic arrangement. I play through what I got out of the previous step and see if there's any way, I can make it sound better (to my ears at least haha), more emotional, more unique or whatever. This then becomes the final version which I record and upload to UA-cam :-) To your second question about which octave to play a melody in: Try to think of the piano as an orchestra with a whole palette of different sounds you can use to convey the emotions you're trying to express. Every register has its own character and melodies sound quite different depending on where on the keyboard you play them. The idea of a cover (to me at least) isn't to reproduce the original 1:1 - which would be impossible anyway because a) we're playing the piano, we're not singing and b) no two humans sound exactly the same if you listen closely enough. It's more about finding a way to express that unique you. I hope that makes sense? 😊
@@RelaxingPianoCovers woo thank you so much. You actually replied. This is not long at all( at least for me) and yes I do understand it very well. Music is pleasing to hear but hard to make it heard by the heart. This is by far the best arrangement I’ve ever listen to. There hasn’t been any cruel summer cover to listen to but now I do. Again, thank you for replying. It was worth subscribing.

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
Bad, bad boy
Shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
Hang your head low
In the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying
You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know
