[davidrigel]

You rock :)

[insertBoringName]

Mear i play the piano at grade 6

and i could NEVER! learn that kinda shite by ear you are sooo amsing

and btw on a random note you have great posture:L

[pseudomuffin]

Awesome. Wish I could learn by ear like that. ^^

[mikeyrangers]

You learned this by ear?

That is impressive in itself never mind actually being able to play it :|.

[benoit216]

really fantastic

[stevepoots]

well done

[joshwilliamrobinson]

you are amazing!! I LOVE TIM <3

[gasmask120]

epic... just epic

[Soulfulshreddify]

Instant favorite! Brilliant!

[hanz12234]

ah that sounds great!! :)

i was just wondering if the sheet music is still up to play from??

thank you for this!

[hanz12234]

never mind, i found it!!

[MikeyM115]

Any Tim Minchin T-Shirts en route??? :-p

[xq3dawn]

ahhh you've been watching So Live. I admire all you people who can transcribe, the closest i can get to transcribing is bella's lullaby and some klaus badelt this is amazing. I really hope you get ur grand piano and i will be looking at ur tee shirts too :)

[Hlizzy07]

I listen to your songs all the time. Breathtaking :).

[MrWelshey]

wow i thout that was emazing

[michel4arcangel]

eres genial para tocar el piano

me gustan muchos tus videos XD

bye

[Taddare]

Three words:

So Fucking Rock.

[velgirtas]

Come on, that was awesome! Beautiful! :)

[thecupdidit]

this is awesome, but u should prob sing withit too, who cares if u cant sing, characters like 90% of everything anyway! have fun ffs! :)) xxxxxxxxx SParkyy

[asda99asda99]

I always thought this one looked really complicated when Tim played it so to here it played by ear by this young woman is amazing. I am soooo jealous she can play it so well.

[IXIScarecrowIXI]

During the chorus, after "how you're so happy all the time" there's that little chord progression you've missed. Try this:

B

Bm/C#

B5/D#

B6/E

[Murphyism]

Really good. Think you go a lil' off at 1:25 though!

[IXIScarecrowIXI]

Yeah - it's supposed to be, from

"Clever never made no one rich"

It's F#m, E/G, A, B and the part that sounds wrong should be a C diminished before going into the C#m, B, A of "I can have a dark side"

[goodesy]

All the people that slag this off. Post a video of yourselves playing it and then you can all show us how to do it properly.

Great version. Keep up the good work

[Helena74]

@goodesy Absolutely..this lady has learnt to play it by ear & my goodness if i could have an ounce of the talent she has i would be one very contented woman.

[Uebsta1a]

All the people that are putting this girl down are the same fools that Tim makes fun of in his songs. That was awesome! Hope I can play it one day.

[k1l2l3y]

I think its a wonderful peice that invokes the depth that tim minchen jokes about

[PennyLane411]

I cannot understand why you're all defending this. I'm a huge Minchin fan, this is an insult to the spirit of the original song. And it's boring. Stick to Fur Elise.

[Tufty89]

@PennyLane411 have you transcribed a version by ear?

[lph2409]

all the people mocking her should play this song better and then i'll listen

[PennyLane411]

Ok, keyboards for at home but never performing. Also, it's still joyless and mediocre, i don't blame you for trying, it's a brilliant song, but come on... it's not worth sharing with the class.

[chrisbyob]

This is fantastic!

[RadioIsDead1]

Yeah I'm very impressed. Well done :D

[serjtanknev]

hey stop pissin on this passion guys, its more than respectable, so give her that surely? amazing you did this, by ear, honest? anyways nice work :)

[zelenks]

you kick ass lol :)

[PennyLane411]

ok, for a start - tim hates keyboards. Also, I agree with others comments that this is joyless and mediocre. FAIL

[xH31180UNDx]

no.

[sickspastic]

dude! are you brain dead?? search around for his documentary. Rock And Roll Nerd - The Tim Minchin Story. He uses midi keyboards etc for recording/writing at home. some i'm afraid the utter FAIL here is...

..well....

....you :D

[lgwguitarist]

a key board and piano is like the same dumbass a keyboard can just do more and what she's got is an electric piano

[teenagerpianist]

So it's good,lets see you play this then, post a video

[mrsrufuswainwright]

This might sound awful, and while I respect your talent, I can't help feeling that your emotionless rendition of this wonderful song does nothing but detract from the original. I mean, well done for learning it and playing it so faithfully (apart from the plentiful bum notes) but really, get a personality.

[richardgill78]

Agreed.

[perkinsspecialkid]

thats awsome (Y)

[DrakeVenix]

Wonderful :)

[AnthonyF53]

You're very good, brilliant in fact, but I'm sorry. You'll never be better than Tim :P

[CheersBigEarsTHEBEST]

Brilliant

[BlueRowan]

thats alsom

[Monoindeed]

Fantastic, I've learn t most of the chorus by ear but when i looked at your sheet music i was a bit confused- really needs to be twice a Large or maybe post as a different type of file so we can choose our own print settings.

[PureZOOKS]

Amazing, you are very talented, and quite pretty.

But it's just not Darkside unless you play with your foot, at least once.

[PidgeonSprout]

you're really talented

:)

[parnie101]

Amazing, thank you !

[Quantumlogik]

if i donate will u make a tutorial? :D

[666barney666]

tim can be spookyyyyy lol nice!

[barnabeee1]

andjust where is the solo :O?

[DerEchteBuhmann]

learn how to improvise within blue scales really fast and you sorta can play the solo ;)

[bananachip33]

"she said thats exactly the point, i just get so annoyed how your so happy all the time"

:D

I was singing along at that bit!

[DaBizNOS]

Fantastic

[HaGiraffeX]

I sang along to the whole of that. ^_^

That doesn't make me sad right.. heh?

[steelie2k7]

Not at all :)

[Helena74]

@HaGiraffeX Not at all..i did exactly the same thing! :D

[rickstarz]

@HaGiraffeX Nope ;)

[iyergem]

@HaGiraffeX no, i did the same :') you're not alone!

[metalhead1820]

Hey could you please help me

What are the chords you are using?

especially for the intro, when it goes 'i can have a darksidee'

also any idea where i could get guitar tab for that?

thanks.

[PureZOOKS]

You are fantastic, when did you learn to play?

[KierCHOPS]

your really good!

i need to learn to play this well =P

[dragtoss2]

cant wait for it i love this song thnx so much

[Glavenopolis]

They should be on my website really soon, I'm just trying to compress the file size. :)

[juutje40]

@Glavenopolis When are they comming? I would love to play this song :)

[juutje40]

@Glavenopolis When do you put the sheets on your website? I would love to play this song :)

[IXIScarecrowIXI]

What is the chord progression that you use from 5:07 to 5:20

[Glavenopolis]

E, D and A. I left it short because Tim usually goes into a huge improv mid way through.

I'm going to upload some manuscript I made in pdf form on my site very soon.

[computerizedcat]

its wrong but pretty good for 'by ear'

[Yaoi4sasunaru]

sheer brilliance

[toggle90]

i was expecting singing :(

but i quite liked it

[bresciano14]

Excellent cover!!!

[themadgamer]

That's a Roland RD 300 or 700SX right? Why is the piano voice so horrible?!

[Glavenopolis]

My EQ is broken at the moment :'(

[MediocreCoverage]

Great job Glaven :) Do you have the sheet music to this or did you learn on your own?

[Glavenopolis]

I learned it by ear, so there's no sheet music. However I've put some together for you guys to learn from. I'm trying to cut its size down, Guitar Pro has put it across 24 pages!

[MediocreCoverage]

Ouch! Thanks though, I'd love to learn it. I love the songs you cover btw (by the way) :)

[l7487]

g-g-girlfriend what g-going on....brilliant cover

[Del1010]

nice... very nice :)

[IXIScarecrowIXI]

Tutorial pleaaaassssee!

[benjaste]

Met him on Friday night! Amazing experience!

[guitaristdude1990]

Very nice.I learned how to play it on guitar. I wish tim would come to the states... :(

[andwes05]

do the solo!!!!!

[OmgJed]

loved it

[Hlizzy07]

That was beautiful, you are very talented :).

[fozzie026]

this is awesome!!

[godzillabillionair]

can u plz try to get a copy of the sheet music?

[mikeygberman]

Awesome work :) I play a lot of Tim Minchin songs myself (and also have a signed Canvas Bag from Enmore Theater)

[Glavenopolis]

Signed!? Lucky as, bro.

[mikeygberman]

He was signing, you just needed to hang around for about 20 mins for him to come out :P

He also signed my nose

[mikeygberman]

I wish... I can't do Dark Side very well at all (one of the many reasons I love this vid). All Tim Minchin sheet music is written up by awesome fans, so perhaps we can badger Glavenopolis to write some for us :)

Pleeeeeaaasssseeeeee?

[IXIScarecrowIXI]

Glavenopolis: "Hey, I'm going to be doing a vid tutorial soon, along with many others.

(I've had the flu for 2 weeks and can't talk)

Hopefully they'll be up soon!"

I think your begging may have paid off =P

[Monoindeed]

Don't you have your Own web sight of Tim Minchin songs? you two should work on some more together.

[mikeygberman]

If glavenopolis is insane/awesome enough to write me some sheet music for this, I will be the happiest person on earth. And my website will contain extra-happy. However, sheet music is TONNES of work...

[MynZnusz]

Wow! I loved it ^^

[Revelation181]

Beauty and the keyboard...

Great job! Awesome talent!

Have you ever tried playing a full-scale pipe organ?

[adslong1986]

Well done, you are very talented!

[ryanacarmichael]

Great Job!

[BrokenVibes]

Did you learn this by ear?

Or do you have it on sheet music by any chance?

I'd love a copy if you do.

Sounds really good!

x

[pianoman26011993]

Thats sounds really good. Did you pick that up by ear? Have you written it down. If you have, can I have a copy?

[redgofaser]

Wow your great. I think this cover is great. Im trying to learn how to play this put i cant pick it up by ear and cant find the sheet music.

[mozartfan126]

this is a really good cover

[BobMcNinja]

i noticed you didnt attempt that awsome solo he does...which is a good thing by the way its good to know your limits.

but omfg that is just insane.

by the way i agree with devymetalforlife you really need to show the emotion, ive been playing piano for years and havent had the guts to put anything on youtube yet, but yeah its all about the emotion.

still great effort rated 4 stars..thanks,

[porcupine179]

Watching this gives me that combination of elation and depression.

Part of me says; "Wow. You're an amazing pianist, I wish i can be as good as you some day"

The other part says; "Why don't I just quit music? Theres obviously better peopl eout there."

You amaze me ;]

[Glavenopolis]

I'm glad you liked it, but you needn't worry, the idea is to be the best that YOU can be. I mean, Tim Minchin is 100X better than me, but I still enjoy playing and doing my own thing.

Just keep your spirits up and you'll be fine :)

[devymetalforlife]

Pretty good. But try and show some enthusiasm when you play.. It's like watching a music teacher demonstrate a piece, where's the emotion, the joy and the feeling?

Tim's a god not only through music but performance and emotion, this is just boring to watch.

[Glavenopolis]

Perhaps you can hear the enthusiasm.

[lucazade]

Alright... But What If She's Nervous? I'm Sure Tim Has Done It Thousands Of Times... Everyones Gotta Start Somewhere.

[Zeo1234]

Love it! I'll be seeing Tim in October, for 2nd time!

I'm trying to learn Peace Anthem, but I only got a piano/keyboard in December and don't really know anything lol.

[robthediaboloer]

wow that was awesome you even got the little solo bit at the end

i did a cover of peace anthem for palestine but this is WAY harder. could you maybe post up a chord sequence maybe or like the othe guy said a tutorial that would be brill for all the people who want to learn minchin songs!!

[orielmano]

hey M.J i hope you remember me XD num 1 fan never mind lol umm can you pls make a toturial how to play this song from 0:01 to 0:43 that was so awesome 5/5 -orielmano-

[ste87635]

Absolutely incredible! I wish I kept up the piano.

I especially love the way you've done the 'daddy never came to my ball games' bit. Fantastic.

[narazimma]

damn this is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wotfingaz]

ha ha heaps good.

[maH0Mii308]

This is great!

So good! : D

[FlexiBex101]

Absolutly beautiful

perfect :D

xxx

[gyc6001]

very good, amazing.

[blueguy09]

This was good but personally i like it when you play metal gear solid, much much better.

[ZosieLikesCake]

This is great! The most I can ever pick up by ear is the melody, I always find it amazing when people have picked up everything by ear.

:D

[gyc6001]

they can pick up everything because they know the chords and patterns.

[axeman721]

yea, the melody's the hard part. musicians know which notes are part of what chord. And, if you can figure out the key, then you have half the song written out for you

[iCerial]

:D beastyyy

[HappyGoLuckyBaby1]

god! i am soooo jealous. You're great!

[saladin4]

This is great!

[jakdapotatoman]

veryy nice :D and Tim is so awesome!!
