Nobody's Love

If there's ever been a band that has developed over the years, I'd say its maroon 5, with more and more solid music. I continue to like their sound. This week I did one of their recent songs 'Nobody's Love'.I Hope you like the songs I select, but if you ever have request for impr...

Justin Bieber - Lonely

Dear Patrons,This week a song by Justin Bieber, that truly resembles what a lot of people are feeling right now due to all the covid measures around the world. I myself find it increasingly frustrating not being able to travel the way I want, or visit the places I want because stuff is closed, and a...

Savage Love

Hi dear Patrons,I sort of missed this one for the first couple of months. It's been out for a while, al trending and hyped in the hit lists, and super coverable (I think I could do 1 hour of variations on this theme alone). As I listened to it this week in the supermarket, it hit me like a good ...

24KGolden

This one is both new and a little bit of an experiment, so please be gentle :) The song is both extremely catchy and repetitive, so that makes for a fun flow of chords and notes if you can sort of 'chain them together'. I've tried to do exactly that, but it also became a bit chaotic. Hop...

Beyonce - Listen

Hi dear Patrons,This one was on multiple requests, and I actually did not think it would have been that hard, but the dominance of Beyonce's voice sort of identify the whole song. When you leave that out and need to fill it with just the piano.. Pff, not the easiest once, let's just say that...

Read All About It

Hi Patrons,This week I share with you a great song by one of my favorite modern artists, Emeli Sande. I say too much that artists are underappreciated or underrated (which everybody always says now...) but lets just say that she has an amazing voice, and she uses it very well, namely to sing great s...

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Hi dear Patrons,Red Hot Chili Peppers, have made so many songs I like, that its almost impossible to pinpoint one or two that stand out. Maybe its Californication (that was also the name of the album on which this song was featured) but this one stands out as well. Road Trippin is such a simple song...

When You Say Nothing At All

Hi Patrons,The song for this week is one that I thought was done by Ronan Keating, but was actually the third one to perform that song. He might be the one that had the most success with it though, and it launched his solo career. I hope you like my version, and if there's anything I can help wi...

Lose

Hi Patrons,This week fortunately a newer song that I got through a suggestion by Spotify, and I liked it a lot. Hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions, comments or ways I could help out. Please let me know. Appreciate you, as always.Best,Marcel

Jessie - Joshua Kadison

Hi dear Patrons,This week an old song, that I actually only know because my sister had a cd (yes a cd) where it was on. I remember as a child that I liked the tune, and for some reason it popped into my head earlier this week, so I thought I'd do it justice by covering it :) I don't know the...

John Legend - This Time

Hi patrons,As you probably know by now, I am a big admirer of John Legend. The guy seems to have his life in pretty awesome shape, and he's a super talented songwriter. In addition he also sings very well and oh yeah plays the piano (probably a lot better than me). Very admirable indeed :). Up t...

Amy Winehouse - Yes I tried

Hi Patrons,Maybe you've read the description in the YouTube upload, but this week was a tough one. I'm a huge Amy Winehouse fan, and I truly believe she was (or could have been/become) a one in a generation type of artist. With such talent, sensitivity and great songs, it's a shame she&#...

Vincent

Hi Patrons,One of my favorite songs this week.I find this song fascinating for many reasons. Normally I am much more of a melody than a text person (you'd figure, or else I'd have a lyrics channel...) , but for this one the text really stands out. It's actually a tribute to Dutch painter...

Unbreak my heart

Hi Dear Patrons,This week's upload is one from my childhood.. It was at its height when I was in my early teens, so I'll keep the song probably in my head for my entire life. I've attached the files (midi + audio) in the post, feel free to ask questions, suggest stuff or do requests!As a...

An old classic and a Chinese cover for an unusual week

Hi Patrons,An old classic (Tony Rich), and a cover of a cover (inception..) of a very popular Chinese song (justifiably so, good song), both requested. I love doing all time great songs or new hits, but sometimes its just as fun if you're remembered (or pointed to) a song through others. So than...

Taylor Swift (I would have never thought it)

Hi Patrons,I'd never thought I'd send you a Taylor Swift cover, but turns out either I'm not too old for it, or I grossly underestimated her music, or both :). I thought this song was very cool, and I had fun playing it. If you have any suggestions for songs or other ideas for the channe...

Tears In Heaven

Hi dear Patrons,A classic song this week, with Eric Clapton's tears in Heaven, a song mostly heard (and Iconic) for the guitar, but also very applicable to a piano. I hope you like it!I've attached the Midi / audio files for the song. Appreciate you a lot!As always, thanks and have a great w...

Watermelon Sugar

Hi dear Patrons,As it is very summery (in most of Europe at least) and I was due for a more happy (and modern) song after a few weeks of classics, here's a Harry Styles song, that made me feel like summer quite a bit. Happy and simple, very nice. I've attached the audio and midi file, feel f...

Yesterday

Hi Patrons,Please find attached bth the midi and audio file of the Beatle's Yesterday. I've been a bit time constrained this week as I had to travel (no piano around makes it tough to play...) , so I couldn't do two songs. However, Will try to make up in the coming weeks! I hope you enjo...

Week 27 - Imagine & Angles

Hi Patrons,Normally I end with this, but this time I'd like to start with my appreciation for your support. It's really cool, and I am on track to make my first patreon charity donation very soon.For this week, I've attached the audio & midi files for both John Lennon's imagine and R...

Week 26 - Kensington & Morrone

Hi Friends,This week 2 uploads again, one (slightly) older one and one (slightly) newer one. Both similar types of songs as well. Maybe that's why they're combined in this week :). I have attached the midi and audio files to this post, so you can download / transcribe / use them to your own ...

Let it ... be

Hi Patrons,A classic this week from my side. I'm currently going through a playlist which is called top 2000, an end of year hit list with the greatest songs ever. This Spotify list also gives a LOT of inspiration for future songs... I think I have some work to do still. For example, cover ALL t...

Zoe Wees - Control

Hi Patrons,I came back to a somewhat newer song this week, as I finally found one that lends itself to a piano version. I like a challenge or creative effort, but some of the rap/dubstep music is very tough to piano-nize... This song caught my attention though and I'm glad it did. I hope you lik...

Amy Winehouse

Hi patrons,I've just uploaded Amy Winehouse's back to black, which I really enjoyed playing and recording, because I love the song. Ive been looking more and more at some of the older classic songs instead of new ones, as I can't seem to find cool new songs that are out there. if you hav...

Let Me Love You and Killing me Softly

Hi Patrons,Please find attached the two songs for this week, one of which is a re-upload, because I got many requests on it (and because my phone fell in a river, which causes me some recording trouble.. Back on track though!) Let me know if you have any tips to add value for you, I'm always ope...

Uploads, uploads, uploads

Hi Patrons,Some of you may enjoy a longer weekend, if so enjoy! I will attach the Midi-files & audio files of this week's uploads below. When I started this idea of posting cover songs, I set my goal for at least 1,000 videos. I've done a little over 100 now, and I'm still amazed at how ...

John Legend & Bob Marley

That's a title I'd not expected to type, but it's this weeks uploads, so I did it anyway... Don't ask how I got to bob Marley, I also had a similar experience with Eye of the Tiger, so that one will come up sometime soon as well. I like experimenting a little bit with these songs. Le...

Maroon 5 and sort of Maroon 5

Hi Patrons,I've attached the 2 midi files for the uploads this week. It's maroon 5 (she will be loved) and R City (Locked away) but Adam Levine is in that song, so it might just as well have been another maroon 5! Hope you guys enjoy it, and if there's anything else I can do that would a...

Sam Smith and Amber Liu

Hi Patrons,Ive attached the midi-files to this week's uploads to this post. If you want any other midi-audio or sheet music conversion, just give me a shoutout! As always, I appreciate you enormously!Have a great week(end),PV
