I love the original version of this piece by Nyman, I know it by heart. I didn't know the Nightwish version, I stumbled upon it by chance, and then found you. You took my breath away. I'm... wordlessly grateful for this rendition because how rare it is to find a variation on a theme you adore and discover that, not only it pays justice to the original, but it's breathtaking in its own right? Thank you so, so much for sharing this.
Thank you :) I don't have music sheets for any of my NW covers :/ I play them by the ear... and every time when I play Storytime or Heart asks pleasure first it sounds a bit different. If you ask my what did my left hand did here - I have no idea:D BTW Try googling for Nyman's version of Heart ... I'm sure you can find sheets for that on the internet :)
Absolutely incredible mate, watched it about 20 times now, best version in the world I've ever seen or heard. Effortless. Unbelievable talent, I can only play "Three blind Mice" ...what I'd give to be able to do your version. Fantastic. Andy
Your arrangement is amazing. My daughter is 8 and I showed her this video because we were looking for tutorials on 'The Promise'. She wants to be as good as you when she grows up! Thank you for sharing.
Can't believe that I've missed this comment! Say hello to your daughter and tell her to keep practicing, believing... :) Hope she finds a joy in a music... as I do :)
Beautiful and amazing as allways! There is a whole world of Nightwish, their music and their fans. Thank you the Nightwish music expands and spread its beauty even more, you give the music a special new breath and make it closer to many people. :)
I'm totally speechless, your arrangement is a masterpiece as much as the original one, but your version takes the soul away as only a stormy sea (a sea made of passions) can do, as if it could be possible to have a pair of wings and fly... I've found it out only now, but I love, absolutely love it!! Good job boy, well done!!!
Just perfect!! I would like to hear studio recorded version of this (and of all the other perfect and breathtaking covers u make) so i can listen to it with the loudest volume possible and feel surrounded by it!!!
That's a wonderful perfomance! I always loved the original version of the song but I always like more the melodies in the Nightwish version and you made a perfect mixed of the songs making an epic piece!! Soooo great!
you are an amazing musician, really talented... oh my god!!! God touched you, he blew on your hands, because you are divine!! I wish to sing one day, but with you playing the piano in that beautifull way you do =)
I recognise you. You are the guy that posted a video for the Nuclear Blast's contest (The crow, the owl and the dove). I voted for you and felt sorry you did not win. It is nice to see you again.
You're great man! I love the original version but I've just found out this Nightwish version, I love it! You did a great job and you have a nice, long and metal hair! \m/
I really admire people playing by ear. I think you're the best "ear-player" I've ever heard. Even if the cover is from NW's song. :) Greetings from Slovakia... :)
Esta es mi cancion favorita. Se la he oido tocar a michael niman mil veces y una version k me gustaba mucho era la de del homenaje ke hizo holopainen a niman k era mi favorita... hasta k te escuche a ti. Me pones los pelos de punta cada vez k veo este video. Gracias por hacerme sentir cosas k nunca habia sentido al oirte tocar. Seria un sueño oirla en directo. Ahora mismo no habria nada mas k pudiera desear en este mundo. Gracias por hacerme soñar. Firma: un angel caido.

The change at 2:18 IS AMAZING!
Amazing!!!!!!! I can't stop listening it over and over again.
I wish I could play the piano as well as you do!!!!!!!
That's a wonderful perfomance! I always loved the original version of the song but I always like more the melodies in the Nightwish version and you made a perfect mixed of the songs making an epic piece!! Soooo great!

I always found this song difficult as hell even in its original A minor, and I can't believe G minor would be any easier. Kudos to you, good sir. :D

I really admire people playing by ear. I think you're the best "ear-player" I've ever heard. Even if the cover is from NW's song. :) Greetings from Slovakia... :)
Thank you :) I started playing piano when I was 6-*7 years old ... or something like that :)

Congratulations excellent cover of an amazing song. I'll suscribe to your channel, I'm curious to see what you will play next
