Performance is nice but the music is really nothing or so it seems to me. A couple of chords repeated endlessly with minor variations, it all seems to be going nowhere and for no reason or purpose. But that's my opinion about it, seems that plenty of others find this inspiring.
@gudnaes if you actually play the song.... it means so much more.
for me, it was my first serious piano song, and it has so much more meaning than "a couple of chords repeated endlessly with minor variations." Not trying to say you're wrong though.
really good. i see this version is a semitone lower than the merry christmas, mr. lawrence video you have (i think)? but they're essentially supposed to be the same song right? i don't really understand why this song is known by 2 names..is it because one is an instrumental and one has lyrics?
I am not experienced enough with this work to be able to tell you what you might have left out or not, but I can tell you that excellent dynamics and feeling made this quite enjoyable for me. great job!
'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence' is the name for both the movie and the instrumental theme. 'Forbidden Colours' came out after the movie as a single, a collaboration between Sakamoto and David Sylvian. It's basically the MCML instrumental theme with Sylvian's vocal added to it. Since your version didn't contain any of the melodies that Sylvian wrote so I guess technically speaking, it should be called 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence'. Whatever it's called, you still played it beautifully, Bravo! ;D
it´s amazing. Holy shit, realy it is the best pianopayling I have ever seen. The piece is amazing too.Does anybody have the sheets of it? It would be so nice if somebody could send me them, I would be happy :D
when I am in a mood, i keep coming back to your rendition agai and again ... didnt appreciate it the frrst time I heard it, but now I seek it out. thank you
This is played very nicely. Did you learn this song by ear? I downloded the music sheet a couple days ago and I see it's not the same keys as what you're playing. Good job :)
Very good rendition, even with the shakey phrasing at the beginning ... eventually you fall into it .. and it is a piece to be fallen into, and carried along by
Nicely played, however the tempo was so inconsistent. The beginning was too fast, and then the verse and chorus was wayy too slow. But overall, good job^^
U shld use the classical piano instead of an electric keyboard.
It may sound similiar but the feeling is different....somehow lessen.
