Elfen Lied - Lilium Piano Solo Arrangement

[xpXThiefXqx]

It'll be perfect if the sound wasn't muffled

[abimaeltorres24]

1:20 amazing . _ .

[ChibiCheung]

u need to lift the sustaining peddle o:

[ShadowPrincess110]

did you put up the sheet music on josh's site? as soon as I heard your arrangement I went straight to the site and looked for philipwalker's version. I printed it and now Im learning it. I just wanted to say thnkyou for sharing such a beautiful arrangment with the rest of the world. thank you for sharing your talent! =3

[Memories410]

OMG IT LOOKS SO COMPLICATED!!!! BUT IT SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[lSzeSze]

:o The idea of how much talent you have is just jaw-dropping. Bravo! :o

[DeathG4n]

quite a few unnecessary notes but overall pretty decent for an arrangement you made yourself. You might wanna buy a new mic though and you might wanna remember that more notes isn't necessarily better. Just some constructive criticism here, don"t get me wrong it was quite good, I wouldn't go through the trouble writing this if I didn't think your playing is worth it

[umin0h0shi]

"PS - I'm thinking about expanding this to include the middle section from the full version of the song ^^"

OMG! You reaaaaally should! Your version is the best I've ever listened! Your such a wonderful pianist!

[Chanmin2007nz]

U r amazing. Please try listening to an arr. made by Vincent Lo. zyrex28 is his username in UTube. It is also amazing



[KirouChan]

i love how smooth u play that song =////=

[GogatsuKyu]

Hey philip, is that weird tiny dissonance sound in your piano your piano not being in tuned or is it just what the piano sounds like?

I was experimenting around on audacity with instrument sounds. I took a piano and had 2 of them play at same time, except one with a .5% increase in pitch. And it sounds like your piano.

[loli6051016]

Love your version :D

[RelativPositiv96]

i like your version, really good =)

[geezerWilly]

Not bad, but way too much pedal and the dancing wrists kinda drove me nuts.

[lovelylamp]

ily but no offense im a pro piano player and to tell you the truth the beginning was pretty flat but still 10/5

[Tatyanapianista]

Bellissima musica!!!!!!!

[Hoser1358]

omg amazing!

this really reminds me of everything that happened throughout the anime. Reminds me of all the fighting and agony and makes me relive the ending.

[ArtemisTheBratPrince]

This arrangement is incredibly beautiful. Thank you. I remembered the end of the anime and the manga when you were playing... Thank you for making my day.

[RougeLeMort]

This is my boyfriend's favorite anime theme... So I got on agaraddo's site and found this arrangement (:(:

This is extremely good. The video has helped me get the hang of the sheet music a bit more than I'd have been able to on my own. I can almost play it faster than morbidly slow :DDD

[bassoonrox]

Love it~ but I can't play it my hands are too small TT.TT

[inechiSAN]

I WANT THE MP3 DOWNLOAD NAO!!!!11

[RyuketsuStitches]

@inechiSAN Download realplayer at realplayer[dot]com and then use the "Download" option, it's a button that will pop up on the right top corner of the youtube video box. enjoy~♥

[inechiSAN]

@RyuketsuStitches hmm... maby

[TheMrKatriel]

I love this version, this reminds me memories about harmony and feelings of peace and tranquillity. Bravo! 5 stars

[RyuketsuStitches]

@TheMrKatriel the song isn't supposed to be like that. It's mroe depressing than that if you listen to the real song xDD

[KannaAoko]

I actually really like the use of pedal in this arrangment

[losnfg]

vete a la verga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! que le isiste a mi anime faborito no mames tan ermosa que estaba la cancion lilium

[vyanotakudog]

Nicely done. ^_^ It's ok if it didn't follow the opening. At least you can do it.

[hago66]

Hmm.. You play nice! :) In my opinion you just use a little bit too much pedal, nothing else.. I like this ^^

[PockiiXchuu]

So beautiful <3 i love it so much. You are very talented. Can i make a request?

[seamonkeyfan90]

OMG where's the sheet music I wanna play it for my girlfriend

[bballrucka043]

great job on making it your own. i liked it

[ShakaryPT]

i like it so mutch... but i prefere the true one, o can play it

[enistoja]

You play beautifully! Great arrangement of an already amazing song!

[akatsukidemonx]

This is nice, kudo's to you ^w^ and people. STOP FIGHTING AND ENJOY THE MUSIC! OR I'LL SHOVE A LOLIPOP DOWN UR THROATS >:3

[SatanisaBeaverShark]

This is beautiful. You did a wonderful job with the arrangement.

[crisnegger]

jamas habia escuchado algo tan bello; y pensar que un sonido pueda hacerte llorar como lo hace esta canción; es la canción más hermosa que escuchado en mi vida...... y al igual que muchos tambien me emociona mucho oirla

[TheScheiss]

@crisnegger jejeje ve el anime...es muucho mejor...xD

[miniKamichanMinami]

love this song its soo relaxing XD

[Dfireanime13]

I really enjoyed your playing :)

[legendaryboy1994]

To the guys (or girls) who are fighting:

I like cherry pie :)

[cantbeatanime17]

GREAT JOB!!!!

[4everunlucky]

i loved Elfen Lied. it made me cry when i read the ending.

[thesnizzinator]

@4everunlucky try watching the anime.. the final episode will rip you to shreds. it was very difficult to watch.

[Ravenwraithstudios]

Good job Phillip it sounds better than the original (my opinion don't reply to my comment)

[lori104]

amazing O_O

[EtherealBurst]

omg such a good version for a piano arrangement ^^

[annaji8886]

this sounds so pretty, youre amazing with a piano... i can only play the vary beginning of this song lol

[TheBloodyHeart]

i love this song but i havent learned all of it and it sounds awsume!!

[hyjuice]

love it!

i almost came :D

[monsterr1274]

You're such a pimp

[champion5545]

yeah it kinda is O.O

like the storyline and stuff..

but the music is epic.

[BurntFruits]

you have a big mouth

[DoubleX31]

I have no idea how you took that as an insult and how this particular comment got 10 thumbs up.

He was simply making an observation as to how he plays the piano so fluidly yet have bigger than average hands.

Regardless of whether that was his intention or not, since when did saying someone had big hands, was considered an insult?

You sir however, have made a comment that most people would agree, is an insult by implying the victim of your misdirected anger should "shut up".

[BurntFruits]

First of all, if you cared enough to look, I'm a girl.

Okay and getting to the point, maybe if his intention was as you said it was, he would have said so?

[DoubleX31]

Oh and people are supposed to say "Oh you have big hands, I meant that as a compliment", "Wow you're tall, I meant that as a compliment", "You have big eyes, I meant that as a compliment".

No, because anyone with half a brain doesn't need to have every single word explained to them. It's implied.

And you know what you hypocrite? You said "You have a big mouth" and you didn't follow up with a "I meant that as an insult" because clearly that was your intention.

[BurntFruits]

Why should I say that when you said you don't have to say Oh I meant that as a compliment. Did you ever ask them if they meant is as a compliment? Don't make up the persons mind for them. This discussion is over and pointless and ruining Philip's video, if you just kept your big mouth shut then this wouldn't have happened. Oh maybe I meant mine as a compliment as well :)

[DoubleX31]

Sad. You just proved my point.

Your hostility is ruining this video. Attacking anyone that doesn't agree with you and interpreting anything that isn't "OMG YOU SO GOOD" as an attack.

Why do you have to be so hostile? Here I am trying to be civil and you insult me yet again.

Truly sad.

[BurntFruits]

Do you have fun going around and insulting people over their opinions? My hostility was a comment in response to 1 comment, and yours was a summary in response to an opinion.

There is no need for you to be civil, no one asked you to. Just leave other people alone. I didn't start this, you did. Because none of this would have had to happen if you didn't make a big deal out of it.

[BurntFruits]

Hello? Maybe I got 10 thumbs up because Philip takes it as an insult, or maybe people liked it because it seemed a joke?

Big hands? Big Mouth? Okay?

Lastly, maybe Philip DOESN'T have big hands? You know a lot of people have hands his size? and you can't even tell how big they are from this point of view. It could be that he has long fingers.

You really need to check things before you blow up over a comment made a month ago.

[DoubleX31]

LOL, I think you were the one who blew up.

I calmly explained what karen meant by her comment.

And what does it matter if you're a girl? Since you're female, you're free to insult people as you like? Or did you want me to refer to you as "Ma'am"? My point still stands.

And by his observations, he has big hands. Why do you feel offended? He thinks Phillip has big hands and you take that as an attack on your BFF.

[philipawalker]

Hello Double and Burnt :D

[BurntFruits]

Sorry Philip for spamming your comments :[

[stheive]

its arranged by phillip walker

[BurntFruits]

Wahaaa, i didn't really watch many of your videos, but i remembered this song, and the miku version. And sooo ya. ~.~

[DancingRainStorm]

your very good and i mean it like uve inspired me to want to play piano :D

[foosbabaganoosh1]

God i feel so deprived that all i can play on is this piece o' crap electric piano when you have such an awesome sounding acoustic! What I find (with past experiences of playing) is that standups often blend lower notes a little too much for my taste, while a grand or such has more distinguished notes, but standups do feel more rich and full of tone when played, if that makes sense? Great version of the song!

[BurntFruits]

Actually i have a similar piano to his, but sometimes i wish i had a keyboard as well

[bbvoncrumb]

same

[CUcumBerJUiCE04]

B-e-a-utiful.

[Wellan123]

superior.

[azndrgn864]

VERY NICE...and I think this is the first time I've seen evidence that you even have a head. xD 2:15

[SirWellan]

Yeah... I was wondering if he was only a pair of hands

[keyblademasterchief]

I want to see how you look like. can't you do a thumbs up in the end of your clip some time?

[stantough]

it sounds great :)

[DotAzam]

I don't like the acoustic of the piano. Did you tune it? :/

[TAz69x]

it appears to be in need of a tuning; a difficult thing for a standup piano (I too have a standup; lucky enough to have a late 1800's pure-ivory key piano - it has ~amazing~ wood features, iron casting, and many other features not found in other pianos of that era, such as self-opening front/bottom when the key cover is opened, and tuning mechanisms built right into the front-opening - plus some amazing string mechanics that allow for all sorts of fiddling with the tuning, tension, hammers, etc)

[Shikamaruluver123]

awsome ... nice ... this is the song that always makes me cry !!

[elementc]

I'm not really sure. It sounds like you held the sustain pedal too much?

[joejoe931]

man you make me look bad alot better than mine but i don't know what version your playing ive only seen 2 tell me i would mind learning

[philipawalker]

This is a version that I arranged myself ^^

The link to the sheet music is in the video description.

Search for lilium, the one arranged by Philip Walker

[anime942]

so cool!!

[xMaskedMasqueraderx]

O: Wonderful! ^^

[Firzenxex]

Omgosh..... It's so beautiful...

[kikrikou]

Like it

[rockerchick307]

thats so beautiful....

[TlMpossible]

hey could you please directly link me to where you got this arrangement? ive looked in joshes and i cant find the right one, all the other ones sound funny :(

thanks alot =)

[philipawalker]

I got the arrangement from myself :D

I don't think josh's site allows direct linking. Search for Lilium and look for the one arranged by Philip Walker.

[startanew70]

very nice. good flow, good change in mood at the right places. The only criticism I have, if I may, is that you might want to lift the pedal more often especially just before measures with a lot of quicker notes in them. Some of the notes tend to get lost if you don't lift. Otherwise, very nice, keep it up.

[Maxelmaus]

OMG!! so beautiful!!

[xXannikoXx]

its soo beautiful. i love it. i hope one day. i can do it  xD

[anugerahandi]

beautiful song... i love it...

very sweet on piano... :D

[xdarkxflowerx]

I love your take on it. Very classical and beautiful. Is it okay if I dance to this at a performance? I don't have a camera though, so I can't tape it. :(

[trinitykiller2]

i loved elfen lied. it was probably my favorite anime! thank you for this!

[philipawalker]

Ooo! Yay, thanks for telling me :D

I agree with the performance stuff too, I don't like how I sped up in certain places, and I paused for half of a second in a place where I shouldn't have :P

Also, I've forgotten what balance/dynamics to use so that my video camera records at decent quality xD

That's why I want to learn how to record from my keyboard directly on to my computer...sounds so much better :D

[CrushGan]

oh dang man that was amazing !!

[aznxangel]

i like your arrangement :)

[Altamyr]

I love this song so much. Great job!

[nad0644]

Me and my mother are both doing homeworks on your music boy ! Why don't ya make a Cd . I'll be the first to buy it :)

[leoboy254]

dude philip i didnt know you did elfen lied. this anime and song is awesome

[vietdreams]

hmm i like this song =) .. it sounds like a yiruma song though *scratches head.

[sirchumpalot]

PLEASE Make an MP3 of your arrangements, I would love your music on my iPod. Thank you 5/5 :)

[krnboi93]

Your an inspiration ^^

[hoshi866]

i love this song! you played it very nice!

[mekium28]

exotic hahaha

[Silent242]

if u can remember philip, over a year ago, i asked if u could play this song.

[philipawalker]

"hey do you think you can do the music to elfen lied and madlax? i'd love to hear those"

Maybe I'll post up madlax stuff too :P

[Silent242]

i knew u wouldn't forget. thanks man

[xfx1118]

Nice work. As always, keeping it clean, and playing well. I like what you did at 1:20, 'twas a good idea, nice and festive, XP.

[purplegumibear]

NICE!!!

was listening to some other music, and loading up youtube to find a particular vid.. saw this in subscription and had to stop everything to watch... oh i love the music from this anime. Thanks so much for posting this :D

[Animexduo]

Amazing playing as always, beautiful song indeed. I think i heard a couple of notes that weren't in the original. :D

Anyways, get those videos up there, we all enjoy your playing :P

~Animexduo

[MagickalNightmare]

Wow this is really beautiful (:

I played Lilium for my solo preformance in music class.. xD It was terrible. I could only do the right hand part and I got an E. Oh well, next time I will definately do better!

[Rael0505]

Is that a Kawai piano? It sounds different from most Kawai pianos I've played... the ones I played were so soft sounding, but I love the way yours sounds. Or maybe you just have magic hands. ;)

Beautiful cover. You should check out TheIshter's cover - his second one, not his first one. You two have the only truly great covers I've seen so far. I'm really glad you didn't play it too fast, like some people do. Great job! I'm glad I subscribed.

[philipawalker]

Yup, it's a Kawai :D

I've listened to Thelshter's and his is really great :D I didn't know about it until I saw it in the related videos on the side of this page ^^"

After hearing his I'm thinking about making a full version as well :D

[Maho911]

That was my favorite song from Elfen Lied!

Thanks for playing, Mr. Piano God! XP

[philipawalker]

lol, I'm still not a god, but thank you :D

It's my favorite song too ^^

[Maho911]

I bet I can rally all of your fans to call you a god =P

[krnkimorikid]

So good and brilliant u are phillip walker :)

omg i had my first piano audition today rofl!

it was......decent XP. rofl

[philipawalker]

OOO!!! I bet you did great :D

Are you going to go into performance or music education? (Hm...did I already ask you this? I'm very forgetful xD)

And good luck any other auditions you have :D, I'm sure you'll do well, you're a great pianist ^^

[philipawalker]

I think I remember you saying music education, but maybe not xD

[krnkimorikid]

Rofl jeez ive changed my mind too many times to remember what i told you so you're probably right :P

but anyways here is my final decision.

i have decided to go in for performance but then im switching to education later cuz im too wimpy and afraid to play in front of people tee hee ^ - ^

you do music too right?

how is it :P

[philipawalker]

Yup, I'm doing piano performance :D

It's really nice (lots of really good pianists ^^)

but I hate playing in front of people! xD

I used to be fine when I was younger, but now I get EXTREMELY nervous xD

Even playing in front of a video camera makes me nervous xD T-T

Hopefully will lots of practice and performing it will go away T-T

[ghrur]

Your vids/songs never cease to amaze.

Anime songs+great pianist = good videos, lol.

[awhattheheck]

soooo goooood !

[ChibiKunx123]

wow awesome.

[sadeyedknight]

[shel3122]

it makes my version seem pathetic XD

[philipawalker]

Thank you :D let I want to listen to your version now, I'm sure it's great ^-^

[DaHomieC]

WOW. never thought u'd do this opening xDD

awesome~

[philipawalker]

Ooo, why not? It's a wonderful piece ^^

[boredgurl]

very....note-y? compared to the opening? xD Well, it sounded nice, I liked it very much! It kinda makes me want to re-watch the series too...^^' 5/5 for the super good vid

[philipawalker]

Yup, I added quite a few notes and things that weren't in the original ^^ and thank you ^-^

[Rix922]

Wonderful! =D

[philipawalker]

Thanks :D

[retardedfacker]
