[TheChiniJacito]

The Suscribe button is screaming in pain for the clicks it received

[applebug10]

I HAVE A CHALLENGE TO PRESENT. you should play through the fire and flames. :)

[applebug10]

I was singing in my head, now i only want you more.

[david34431]

[ddrstandard2008]

your hair is so pretty! ^w^

[gamerdonpaulsen760]

I feel like a boss now. :)

[DeoCakeFace]

Well here we are again. It's always such a pleasure. remember when you tried to kill me twice.

-Finish the song-

[brightorangemango]

@DeoCakeFace Oh how we laughed and laughed. Except I wasn't laughing. Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice

[megaclone18]

I might be one of the few people who likes this song better then Still Alive, but I'm proud of that fact!

[MoltenProduction]

Inlove how people try to get her to marry them I have only one thing to say about that I used to propose then I took an arrow to the knee

[wiuwtp]

YES!

[SoulWolf2852]

To the guy below me... 0.0...

[KitStudios]

We're going to have children someday.

[Ronpollacking]

can you cover some Naruto soundtrack music?

[VoreTechz1985]

LOL! OMG! I LOVE THIS SONG!

Thank you for playing this for us.

Bravo!

[TheMaskedBloke]

WHY DON'T YOU PLAY TURRET OPERA



[melas300]

You are incredible! I wish I will ever manage to play like that...

[GamecornerSweden]

freaking awesome!

[LucaTom92]

stupenda!

beautiful!

[Josh27022]

(: uʍop ǝpısdn sıɥʇ ʎɐld uɐɔ I

[Lombaxion]

From someone who is a terrible musical improviser/ player by ear this is very impressive. Nice work :)

[JamesMathewRatliff]

Have you considered transcribing? Not for us really. It's a good skill to pick up.

[lara6683]

@JamesMathewRatliff I am able to transcribe. When I need to, I do, but transcribing arrangements that I just play by ear is not necessary for me. When it's something really hard, then I might write something down :)

[JamesMathewRatliff]

@lara6683 Oops, I apologize, I just read your FAQ :P

I do enjoy your renditions of these songs, though. :D

[TheRay12192]

I wish I could afford a piano.... and lessons. Best I got was a 40 dollar guitar from my dad and eventually got a job to pay for my 12 string acoustic (and bills >.>). I love the sound of acoustic instruments and play the hell out of my guitar every chance I get.

[kevinmorum]

so talented. made the song 100 times better than the ingame one :D

[DoubleSlayerXXX]

I have no way of describing how perfect your piano playing is! Oh my god never before have a seen such co-ordinations between hands and such focus, You are a true artist please stick with the game themes they are epic!

[Floxit]

Yep, you said everything ky13... AWESOME !

[Antphoneigh]

'still alive' was better lyrically, but you made 'want you gone' sound very epic! J. Coulton would be most proud!

[lara6683]

@Antphoneigh yeah I know :) Still Alive is a more lyrical piece

[RedArmorLabs]

@Antphoneigh Though I love the sarcasm in Want You Gone

[ky13w0n9]

awesome.

[church324]

damn the subscribe button broke on me >_>

[Akatsukigirl710]

Do you do any Star Fox music on the piano/ violin? Cause that game has cool music. You have amazing skills by the way, I wish I played that well.

[cosplayers1012]

epic and hot damn she is the hole package

[halofanatiks]

Songs called want you gone but i just want you a weee be closer =3

[MegaPeachPrincess]

I'm not going to ask you to marry me, but will you be my mother instead?

[lara6683]

@MegaPeachPrincess hahah ahahah haha ok.

[WPCodename]

@lara6683 You can still Marry me!

[ChickenwithaMohawk]

@lara6683 unfortunatly i am going to ask you to marry me cos im just like that :P

[waldoman7]

spectacular song but you just can't beat "Still Alive".

Portal was such a perfect game. Portal 2 has many more features that are a blast but Portal was just such concentrated flawlessness. There was never any point when you weren't completely satisfied. Game of the decade.

[TheCkyrocker]

3 people didnt get their companion cube back 

[scoobyrds]

LOL in the last one she was wearing orange now she's wearing blue :D

[masterofall123]

you are so amazing

[legacycz]

Do you actualy play those games you make song of? Because you're too hot to be gamer;).

[5478229]

@legacycz If you look hard enough and with a bit of luck, you can find a hot gamer chick once in a while, and maybe be lucky enough to take her out? I was lucky enough to do so xP

[Dorkainur1]

awesome

[dgrauberg]

yayz :D

[igrowweedfromaseed]

Lara, your videos dont give me a boner for some reason, i do believe my penis is too busy listning.

[m1l3spr0w3r77]

I got sheet music, and i'm nowhere even near this good. Girl, you are epic at the piano. This was soo good, I started singing the lyrics This is wholesomely awesome.

[louis1679]

pretty girl and pretty music, love it.

[m1l3spr0w3r77]

@louis1679 Understatement of the century, right there.

[SynergPrime]

я даже подпевал

[mikau001]

2 people ragequited at the 3rd test chamber

[Dark1Cynder]

Is there sheet music for this or did you do this by ear??? Amazing job Btw :D

[Dark1Cynder]

@Dark1Cynder wait...nevermind. Still though, amazing job :D

[lara6683]

@Dark1Cynder by ear

[Itachi476]

lol i love the pianist sway (where the pianist is deep in his/her music to where they rock back and forth subconsciously) you do it alot in the vid

[soosrooland]

daayumm, 1 comment here, and I instantly lose the forever alone status...

[Elemajor]

im trying to learn this song!!, i thought i had it good, then i heard this awesome recoridng xD

ah well, more practice for me...nice job!

[MSGPresident]

Suuuuuubscribed.

[crazyharry156]

Damn it, I wish I could play music sometimes.

[yur1fan]

Is it my turn to marry you yet?

[combatarmsguy10]

You made me love Portal 2 even more(i loved it in the first place)

do you even play portal or do u like have it?

I waited 2 days before i posted this so i can think of a word to describe this

couldnt find any...oh well

[JohnnyLeyenda]

Beautiful! Really amazing! Is it weird that I started singing in GLaDOS' voice even though I'm a guy?

[paziFIST666]

i like the original better.

though - i must admit - you've got quite some taste :)

[fermuch]

I f***ing LOVE YOU!

[becaroonie90]

I added this to favourites before it even loaded.

[TheGlissoi]

Found '-'

[xDKINNEExD]

I LOVE YOU

[WCGwkf]

you are the most amazing girl evar!!

[GamersWeekly123]

Will you Marry me #574?

[Proman2]

Wonderful. Truly wonderful.

[pk87ful]

bravo!

bravo!

you are very impressive when it come to the piano and violin

[xRedster]

Is there perhaps an MP3 of this? D:

I need this.

I need everything you play!

[lutyo318]

Can I marry you before they do?

[heyimanorange]

How are you holding up? Because I'm a potato

[Mave1996]

This is awesome, too. But i like'd the soundtrack from Portal 1 more than this one. But awesome.

[martindrewp]

Why haven't I seen you on an episode of AOTS or something? These videos are amazing!

[lara6683]

@martindrewp aots??

[bibboorton]

@lara6683 Attack of the Show. It's a show on G4. :D

[Mrsnugglewitme]

@lara6683 Attack of the Show, On G4TV

Not sure if you get it where you are

[joelx1234]

@lara6683 Attack of the Show (G4)

[Tipmoose]

@lara6683

AOTS = Attack of the Show. (On FuelTV in Australia, or so says wikipedia)

[luckypyro944]

@lara6683 Attack of the show on G4.

[someguyxxx5]

@lara6683 Attack of the Show. They show awesome internet videos =D

[jryan913]

@lara6683 attack of the show on g4 0_0

[immortalsticky]

@lara6683 It's Attack of The Show. A show on G4tv that shows internet videos that have gone viral. It's a great show, very funny. Me and my wife watch it all of the time.

[Eksrow]

@immortalsticky 13-50k views is HARDLY viral, but yes i do agree the videos definitely have the quality to be featured on AOTS.

[CybeastFalzar99012]

@lara6683 If i'm not mistaken AOTS is Attack of the Show

[necrogenesis1981]

@lara6683 AOTS (Attack of the Show) is an American tv show on a video game and geek culture channel called G4. I agree though, if you do make it over here at some point you'd most definitely be welcomed to perform on there I'm sure. The viewers just need to put in a good word for you and you might at least get one of your youtube videos on the Around the Net segment. Publicity = Followers :D

[NeverNeverLandTV]

@lara6683 Attack of the Show. if you were still wondering. They spotlight awesome videos. I would love to see you on there!

[lara6683]

@soosrooland I don't know. It just happens. Better than a mechanical, stiff performance?

[Civilchaos]

@lara6683 Don't change! You are an excellent musician, and your movement shows how much you 'feel' the music you play. Only the best do that ;)

You're awesome! And you've inspired me to go back to music. Are you a true blue gamer too? 8D

[EyedeaXAbilities]

@lara6683 its actually a good thing. it means your whole body and mind are getting into the rythm. gotta love piano

[BladeSatoshiX]

@soosrooland If you watch Ray Charles' performances, you'd see that he could never sit still. Maybe great pianists just can't sit still?

[WCGwkf]

@soosrooland its because you feel the music. but you probably wouldn't know that because you don't play an instrument:) i find myself doing it too when i play piano

[soosrooland]

@WCGwkf read my comment again, i played the piano too...

[gamingdevil]

@soosrooland is there such a thing as "too" submerged? i believe all the movement is basically a way of keeping time. some people tap their foot, some people bob their head. i don't see why anyone would have a problem with this...

[darestium]

@soosrooland It`s called showing emotion :-)

[combatarmsguy10]

@soosrooland if you do not notice some note are louder than others so you hav to press harder causing body movement

and lots of body movement shows the player is getting into the song,a lot

[beanoboyz1234567]

@soosrooland if you didnt move that much when u played then you obviously didn't play with any emotion

[yaseen157]

@soosrooland thats people showing their talent coz they poruing their life into an instrument. if u had 1 that is.

[yaseen157]

@soosrooland who needs replying talent? and look at all the other people talking about emotion and talent directed at YOUR COMMENT. so STFU

[yaseen157]

@soosrooland I guess.

[owtkast023]

Alright. You're pretty much one of my favorite people. And you accomplished this in under two minutes. I think that's some kind of record for me.

[allegedman]

Will you play this in SPAAAACCCEEE!?

[ssweettppea12]

lawl i wanna learn this too

[Aliveandying]

I played this side by side with the original. I had a nerdgasm.

[PZX2DN4F]

Wish you would do a version on violin too...

[janpansa]

your awesome !!

[davio3d]

You made me stuck front of the computer, bad girl! =)

[XDunklerX]

Amazing :D

[LaJ126]

May i marry you now?

[lara6683]

@LaJ126 you will have to check with the 500 other people who have asked :)

[rockboy12346]

@LaJ126 Happens to more musicians never seen a guitarist standing stiff on stage to be honest.

[DBob01]

:] great

[icarothomas]

2 people are Frankenturrets

[Jeffrey7060]

The people who dislike this is because they cant do whats shes doing

[studioCR2]

OH HOW WE LAUGHED AND LAUGHED!

execpt i wasnt laughing.

under the circumstances

you are shockingly good!

[Oceanic180]

wonderful as always. do the turret opera piece!~

[slocklar]

@Oceanic180 That is known as "Cara Mia". It's an Italian opera piece. Lara, I have the sheet music to "Cara Mia" if you want to learn how to play it.

[spytherewish]

A beautiful and talented girl who likes video games. Sounds like from outer space.

Space space space, I wanna go to space hehehe :)

[Kollynator]

I still love these so much <3

[nat3892]

2 dislikes, her left and right hands from being cramped from so much AWESOME!

[ElInventor]

SPACEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[ClevelandRock]

She was a lot like you… maybe not quite as awesome.

[RiseOfTheNerd]

I like how the small delays (around the 0:50 mark) actually add to the feel of the song.

Were they intentional to accent the notes or were they small hiccups?

[lara6683]

@RiseOfTheNerd they weren't hiccups..I'm not sure..I like to play around with the time just a bit :)

[Pennyforth]

@lara6683 And that just adds to the appeal of your performances, Lara--that you often add a personal touch instead of just directly reproducing a given song.

[Radiofloyd]

Absolutely beautiful.  Love it.

[tucobenedicto1]

no singing? boring.

[lara6683]

@tucobenedicto1 you're boring.

[ssweettppea12]

@lara6683 i would sing it lawl

[Coleton33Music]

@tucobenedicto1 Then it's a sing along!

[darktakua]

@tucobenedicto1 i bet you couldn't have done this.

[darktakua]

i bet you couldn't have done this.

[HE4DACH3]

Next level piano skills and a song from one of the greatest games ever? Truly top notch.

[Oceanic180]

YES the best instrumental rendition of my favorite credits song :)

I still need to play the game :(

[theWumpus20]

Hi, umm...how old are you?

[firekirby123]

It's amazing, but sorry to say you did make one flaw. This song has one more music loop before the end of the song. The original song loops three times, while you only loop it twice. Still though, I am impressed you learned to play this by ear. I learned to play "still alive" by ear, but that one was a bit simpler to me than this one.

[lara6683]

@firekirby123 I'm aware of this....I didn't want any more repetition, I thought twice was enough..

[WTFisAuserFRCKINname]

Wtf you play piano too? That is my other dream instrument to play :p haha

[AozoraX]

Here comes an awesome Youtube sensation~

That's what we're ALL counting on!

[Kollynator]

Are you playing the Light notes, aswell as the Dark ones?? 0:19

[lara6683]

@Kollynator yes. Most pieces use both.

[Kollynator]

@lara6683 yeh it's I hear the Sound, But it dont look like you hit them at the time the sound appears :P

But when I look closer, they do. :D You have a fast response 2 min :D

[word777]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawsome

[3llianX]

Have you gone through ear training exercices to get that good or did it just come with playing pieces by ear often? Any practice tricks or recommendations? Thanks!

[lara6683]

@3llianX I have always been able to do this. I have had perfect pitch since as long as i can remember :) I don't consciously practice ear training, I'm sorry I don't have good suggestions!

[GermanSeabass]

Awesome - very pretty performance!

If you're interested, I arranged sheet music for it a while ago. Just Google for "Want You Gone sheet music" :)

[Point27Edited]

Btw can you make a tutorial :o?

[Point27Edited]

We asked for it, here it is, do we regret it ? HECK NO!

~The best piaono player i have ever heard.
