Hello, great cover! I've just bought my own piano and i'd very much like to play some Silent Hill songs. Right now I'm playing "Promise (reprise)"

Could you please send your Silent Hill sheets? If you need some, just ask

Thanx!

[sosogood]

@VigoAW Hey! Yeah, you can download all of my arrangements from the second link in the info box. Or I can email them to you if you want; if so, just shoot me your email address in a message. Congrats on the piano!

[Waldbock]

[CatherineJames]

Beautiful dear! I LOVE THIS

[Misteve101]

is there any chance of a tutorial?? i absolutely love this piece of music, and some of the notes are hard to see

[bobsabiot]

Yours sounds like a melancholy love song.

The original just sounds melancholy.

...Guess that's what makes you so(so) good. :)

[bobsabiot]

Wow, Laura's good.

[ghost278]

great vid!

why not try the silent hill theme song next? =]

[SirGonzalokiller]

Very fine!! I like how you play the Piano

[awayoutthere]

Beautiful!

[cinnawaffls]

I actually prefer this version over the original. It sounds much more beautiful and mysterious.

And the end is just remarkable.

My respects.

[sosogood]

@cinnawaffls Thank you! I'm glad you like the ending; I wasn't sure if it would really fly with the rest of the song.

[Phoenix1775]

@cinnawaffls i agree

[weez221]

wow, i love you. I am going to learn this, even if i am not great at reading music.

I will show you when i am done.

<3

[sosogood]

@weez221 Please do.

I love you too! <3

[earth2mother]

awesome interpretation!

[BeakyRed]

0:43 I like so much o_o

[ziggygirl]

This is awesome~Thanks for sharing! I really love that it's out of tune as well. :3 I really like seeing when fans post even slightly altered versions of songs; it's a bit of a past time of mine. XD

[quadpod]

i 'v been watching a lot of your videos and all i have to say to holy WOW! i see a lot of people play these songs, but you play it with the amount of touch i haven't seen. good job! and... i have been saving these sheets to learn down the road. so i thank you for the great listening's, and sheet music ;)

[kurai25]

No offence, by why are you playing it in the wrong key?

[sosogood]

@kurai25 I'm not playing it in the wrong key. The song alternates between G minor and C minor.

[kurai25]

@sosogood then why doesn't it sound the way I remember it?

[sosogood]

@kurai25 The key, or the song as a whole? This is an interpretation, so it's not supposed to sound exactly like the original...

[silvia19817]

beautiful, absolutely adorable! I could hardly hold my tears. I even liked it more then that in the movie. Who plays it on the piano?

[joeykramera1]

Oh my god! You've improved an already amazing song! CONGRATULATIONS!

[progamerrus1234]

very nice! I like Silnet hill and this Soundtracks

[progamerrus1234]

@progamerrus1234  I mean: Silent*

[Yuzernaime]

GAH! I want the mp3 of this...love your interpretation, it's my favorite song from the series.

[Yaztag1]

I LOVE 0:24-0:34! It makes it seem soo magical.... (:

[sosogood]

@Yaztag1 Thanks! It's my favorite part to play. :D

[LuisCaicedo]

@Yaztag1 I agree :)

[vrem]

[Netxen]

@vrem ahahahah XD

[davidmetatronn]

i love silent hill

[chelogothic]

i love silent hill!! you're very good!! ♥

[anikinhajorg23]

I dont like this kind of pieces I just play classical music at the piano but you´re play very well, with motion, expression and this is very important for a musician... nice job ; )

[Muftobration]

I prefer these types of pieces to classical ones. Classical pieces hardly ever move me at all, but this music moves me a great deal. It's interesting how people have such different tastes.

[DifficultWinter]

great, great job...very nice

[UrbanRats]

OH MY GOD!

I yearn for the part between 0:54 & 1:05, love it, 5 stars.

[WiktorWillow]

0:24-0:34

that part is just unbelievably gorgeous

[Markymaxy]

why do always the best piano players, like you (sosogood), never make any tutorials? i can play some silent hill music on piano, but i learned it by ear, or from tutorials, so i cant play with notes. Wannabe "piano players", like me, are dependent on people who make tutorials ^^ I wish so hard that youll make a tutorial of "laura plays the piano" (as soon as you can)...

[Markymaxy]

...oh and by the way, your music of silent hill is the best i've seen on youtube...you are perhaps the best piano player i've seen on youtube ^^

[Majornuts78789]

he is extremely good, but no offence, not the best, he is better than me though :S

[iflippy]

I'm so annoyed at these replies. Do you know how much of a hassle it is to make a tutorial? Why not just look at the piano sheets; when I first try out a song, I look at it, read it before I even get on the piano then I try and figure out the proper fingering. That's my way, idk about you.

[TikanTehGreat]

If thats your way then congrats, some people need the tutorials. Im annoyed at ignorance on youtube.

[CleverDjembe]

@Markymaxy

On the long-term you're better off learning sheets and proper piano technique from the ground up .

[HotKebab]

My name is Laura and I play the piano. How come I haven't played this yet?

Shame on me. I will now download the sheet music and play it.

[BassJokerMadness11]

lol about 8 seconds in i faved it?? ur awsome at this

[IlSPlI]

LOVE these <3

thanks for the Download links too ^_^

[DrStrangefate]

the piano being out of tune gives it a certain unnerving charm

Sounds great dude. Post more Yamaoka if you can.

[raven081726]

that is so cool!

[chispaXfile4]

very good! :D

plz make a tutorial

[tstalsby509]

i liked how you did the last part XD you need to post a tutorial showing peice by peice how you play it ... like key by key... Please? alot of people are dying to see a tut on the vid ..

[PeikAOL]

Beautiful

[blackscarlett1]

But whats the point in changing it when thats how the actual song goes like...

[luv4Aerith]

Sorry, I just thought it would match the tone better :). This is actually my fav cover of this song! I was just saying that I think that would sound good as well.

[DarkLord61636]

Because some people have different tastes and prefer a song to be more melancholic, or happy, or w/e they want. The point of music is expression, and by making your own arrangement, that's exactly what your doing.

[luv4Aerith]

This is great! The only thing I would change is the part from 0:24-0:34 and the other areas like that. It still sounds great, but I think it sounds to heavy in comparison to the softer, melancholic tone in other areas of the song. If it was played at a lower volume and a few of the notes were removed, it would help. But don't get me wrong, this is still fantastic! Just giving constructive criticism =).

Oh and sorry if I wrote an essay for you XD

[sosogood]

thanks, luv4aerith!

I know what you mean. In the back of my mind I considered making it a bit softer, a bit less busy to give it more of that ethereal feel that's in the original song. I guess I just had way too much fun playing it my way. (Out of all the SH songs I've arranged, the chorus this one is my favorite to play.) I can understand and respect where you're coming from, though, definitely. Thanks for the feedback. I'm always on the lookout for constructive criticism.

[luv4Aerith]

Thanks! :D And don't worry, I still think it sounds great, it's one of my favs.

[MelodyOfOblivion99]

Wow... You have a beautiful piano :) And very nice playing! I loved it! ^.^

[pianomanipodtouch]

plz can u make a tutorial,... i mean i played all the song but the problem is thhat there is a part that im unable to figureout

btw the song is great :)

[gaarasfreak1]

Well done! You should make a tutorial.

[pianomanipodtouch]

ur great

its dreamy................verrry nice 10000000000000000/5 =D

[ThePoliticalMusician]

Imagine if this piece was played on a cello/viola duet.

[NeoFeanor]

[JbRi08]

[jaliell]

So beautiful it's dreamy

[ZackFairFFVII]

No words... 5/5

[nickabum]

[10Gr1fterbang]

well done!! and thank you for the details in description

[Paolo160984]

Your piano version is fantastic! I send you my guitar version!

Cheers!

[ArnoldLayne4815]

What you think about " Magdalene "?

I love this song. I would like to listen you playing it, someday.

[phase866]

Oh I love this song I think its my favorite song in all the games.

Im also a verrry big fan of your videos :D

[ArnoldLayne4815]

Great

[relichunter02]

I just fell in love with this song from the moment I first heard it in the movie.

And now my new infatuation has to be your absolutely amazing interpretation.

It's unique and it definitely says that you have some wicked mad talents lol

You're way gifted. I actually want to learn how to play the piano just so I can play this =)

I'm a hugeeee fannn of all of your videos!!

[sosogood]

Thank you! Glad you like it. Laura Plays the Piano was my all-time favorite song from the whole SH franchise, and it's definitely still up there.

You should totally look into playing the piano. It's one of the easiest instruments to learn and is really fun to just play around with.

[xRaspberryHeaven]

Simply Amazing!

[deadxboy1996]

ps are you talking about the scene when rose and sharon (heather and cheryl we could say) are lying near a tree in a plain during the evening?

[sosogood]

Yep! That's the one.

[deadxboy1996]

when i saw the movie, i just rushed to the internet in order to find the name of that magical song.

It make me feel a sweet and sunny melancholy.

You play it sosogood and it's actually a better song than the original, the ending of your interpretation is very sensitive; in one word : sosogood

[sosogood]

Thank you!

[mxcnprd10]

same, as soon as i watched movie i did the same

very nice 5/5*

[mxcnprd10]

I wish I had a piano, I would play this song

I can't get this song off my head since I saw the movie! so beautiful

[sosogood]

When I saw the movie and heard it play, I was like "OH WHOA HOLD UP I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SONG" and blasted the volume. I then proceeded to rewind the scene over and over again so I could listen to it.

[hottieblue2]

you know they have uploaded on youtube?

[stevenmusick17]

I like the original one of this song better BUT i love your version of Not Tomorrow 1 and True and i am checking out the other ones you are FREAKING awesome at playing these!

[wolfgang8181]

its good but its wrong sorry

[sosogood]

Mm, thanks for the feedback, but no. It's an interpretation, it's not meant to be dead-on.

[claymorefann]

this song is so beautiful...but i cant find any notes on how to play it...does anybody know where i can find them?

[sosogood]

Thanks! Check the description box for sheet music.

[sk8girlt]

i wanna cry thats how good you are, lovely

[Dom2dom2]

I love this song and you make it sound even better. Once again you are amazing or something better.

[SheetHunter]

awesome! I love this theme! well done :D

[whitelake804]

I am back. I writing an orchestral version now and extending the piece by connecting the Theme of Laura (reprise) and Alessa's Harmony; all for piano, violin, viola, cello, and maybe some chimes. I am turning this piece into a piano concerto practically. I almost have the violin part done.

[sosogood]

You have no idea how excited I am about that. Are you writing it out on just sheet music, or are you doing a MIDI arrangement, or..?

[InsomniacSega]

oh

my

god

Seriously.

Your amazing.

I hope I'll be able to play as good as you.

I've only been playing for one year.

[sosogood]

You'll get there, I promise! Just keep playing.

[Poisongirl3]

Uhm... Totally random and off topic. You have amazingly beautiful hands.

[sosogood]

Hahah, I'm very flattered. Thank you. :D Though if you saw my hands up-close you'd probably think otherwise, believe me.

[yunasmelody]

somehow I find your hands beautiful, too haha.. sorry..

[whitelake804]

Looks good, hey maybe I can work with you to write variations for other silent hill songs. contact me at westleyjack@sbcglobal. I am am getting a laptop with a music writter's program and would be thrilled to make the silent hill songs sound more original like your version of Laura Plays the Piano. E-mail me and we can chat.

[whitelake804]

Hi it is me again,

Could you publish a copy of your variation of "Laura Plays The Piano" as sheet music and post it on google? If you could, I would be the most happiest musician on the face of the world.

[sosogood]

Update: Finished the sheet music! Check the description box.

[whitelake804]

I mean sheet music. Please please please post it on the web!!!!!!!!!!!! You are by far the best at playing this piece and I want to learn how to do your variation in an orchestral variation.

[sosogood]

Orchestral variation? Holy hell, that'd be amazing.

[Tadder]

nice, very nice dude

[xxChimairaxx]

i love it ;)

[DaeranAngelfire]

Oh yes, this makes me cry... Good job.

[sosogood]

Wow, thanks!

[lancerharris]

where did you get the sheet music for this song?

[sosogood]

I wrote the sheet music using Finale.

[xxChimairaxx]

omg thats great!!!!Awesome job ;)

more silent hill songs please ;)

[f700d]

Brilliant

[whitelake804]

Hey, I just wanted to know, can you record your version of Laura Plays The Piano and post it on the web? I could use that for my music group and transpose it to violin, viola, and cello. I really admire your talent. And I do not believe your piano is out of tune, it sounds fantastic.

[sosogood]

thanks. :]

You mean like, post an mp3 of this song? Or write out sheet music?

[whitelake804]

Impressive,  well done, you should have played it for the game.

[Kiriban]

Do you have sheet music of this song as well? That would be splendid! I'll be trying out your other songs.

GREAT skill!! <3 Please play more Silent Hill songs!

[sosogood]

Thanks! Yeah, I've got sheet music for this on the way.. Been putting it off for a while now, but I'll finish it sometime soon. It's just a really daunting task, so I've been procrastinating for weeks. D:

[oduska]

Awesome video! Your finger positioning and movement is so smooth! There's no hesitation on what you're about to play.

Awesome...

[ercorea]

graet job. I really would like to play this piece like this. 5 stars from me :-)

[crim3cost]

It's curious how different are the finger and hands positions and movements from those who learned keyboard playing by themselves. People who has studied music like you does it like nothing while self-taughs people twist their wrists and fingers in awkward and unhealthy positions.

How I would like to go back to childhood and begin my music studies then. It takes a lot of effort to learn anything new when you are over 30. The brain works very differently than when we are 10 years old.

[sosogood]

I always enjoy watching other people play, whether they're trained or untrained. (I guess I just get sick of looking at my own hands, ya know?) I love seeing how other people construct certain chords and harmonies, as opposed to how I'd do it, or how someone else would do it. Despite their training, it seems like each person has their own unique sense of playing, and that style always shines through when they're, say, arranging a cover song or playing an interpretation of something.

[sosogood]

I know I probably don't have much room to talk because I'm still young, but my belief is that it's never too late to start something. I know the learning curve shifts as one gets older, and that makes the process of learning all the more difficult. But I'm one of those people that believe almost anything's possible with the right motive.

[iamThespian]

i love this song so much

[KnifeBloodyNightmare]

wow that was amazing!

[kfloora]

beautiful as always :)

[lildark7]

omg.. it's wonderful. I really love it.

Great work.

[LoonyLoo]

That was wonderful :D Nice work as always!

[Clavat03]

Wow, awesome!!! =D I'm going to request the sheet music, I love this ^^

[sosogood]

Thanks! I'll have the sheet music for this up in a week or so.
