I love love LOVE this song and this movie! Paul Williams is a genius for writing this music and I wish more people knew about this awesome movie. You did a very beautiful rendition, don't ever stop! And where did you get the sheet music? I've been looking EVERYWHERE for it and no success :-(
I was not myself last night/Couldn't set things right with apologies or flowers/Out of place like cryin clown who could only frown/And the play went on for hours/
This was my favourite song from the movie "The Phantom of the Paradise" (even though I really didn't care for the film that much). Beautiful lyrics and a beautiful melody and you did a fantastic job at performing it! Shame the organ bit was missing at "All my dreams.." (I personally love that touch), but this was absolutely beautiful. :D Well done!
Nice job, I like how you don't look down at the keys. They just need to bring in the dolly so they can pan all around while you're singing and you're there.
I was going to say you need the magic console piano that turns into an organ in the middle of the song like Winslow has, but I think you did great with that part without it.
Actually, your incorrect. Paul Williams said that William Finely did his own singing in the movie. He sang both the song at the beginning of the movie, "Faust" and he also sang (in a less exaggerated style) "Never Thought I'd Get to Meet the Devil" as well.
I think in the last part, you sang "dream a bit of style" while the original version as I e remember was "dream a bunch of friends" that rhymes better with "dream... it never ends".
Astounding... This is an amazing take on 'Faust'.. It's always a great pleasure to hear someone playing Phantom songs, expecially when they sound so amazing!
I guess you like the movie too ? anyway let me tell you that I have never seen anyone playing Faust before i like the movie cool music... You rock man ... You rock my respest to You.. Have a nice day from Australia..
Damn good, man. You kind of remind me of Ben Folds. I think your voice should be louder and more solid in the mix though, because you have a good voice and there are occasional timing hitches in your playing which would be covered up if your voice was leading the mix as it leads your piano. If you recored with one good omnidirectional mic like a Sennheiser or AKG, it would probably sound awesome. I've been learning this song myself lately, and it's interesting to see how other people do it.
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE do a recording of Good Guys/Bad Guys or whatever it's called- you sound better than Paul Williams, and William Finley can't hold a candle to you. BRAVO!!!
where did you find the music for this?!

Play a guitar standing up, play well, something you like. Are your feet moving?
Movement to music is synchronous harmony, He is hardly flailing, he's getting into it.
"Getting into it" will make you a better musician.
