Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

[TheAmazingEuph]

I thought the arrangement that I played sounded fairly impressive and this just crushed me because of the many more chords on the treble part where as I only have a few treble chords.

:)

[GrizabellasMemory]

I loved how you included the "little lottie thought of everything and nothing"- part!

Well done :)

[angelofmusic997]

You did wonderful. That is my fav. song from Phantom. Could you do a tutorial (if you haven't already)? I would love it if I could learn to play it!

[XxMelinaxMallisaxX]

Very good!!! :D

[HopeHasWarriors]

Sorry! I didn't meant I flag that!:[

I meant to say that you play awesome!!! You play it much better than I do!!!:D

Simply beautiful!!!!!:D

[0ladystardust]

i want to use your playing of the piano in English drama of my university^^

[cjwilkie]

@78clematis09 feel free

[allegrettogirl34]

excellent job!

[tabbydgurl]

You play quite beautifully. I've always wanted to learn piano so I could sing along with it when not at lessons, but you're playing is quite useful. Thank you for the wonderful perfomance :)

[tabbydgurl]

Very well played... great to use when I'm not with my vocal instructor :)

[poezzy]

nice played, i can use this to practice for my singing ^^

[JBSTxoxo]

[juiceliina]

Your playing gives me chills :D 5/5

[93duhopere]

[PearlGurl14]

[Koolkat1231212]

[Koolkat1231212]

wow you were amazing i also play the piano and played this song from my first selection from my phantom of the opera because it sounded pretty but yours was so amazing! i also play phantom of the opera, all i ask of you, music of the night, and angel of music! i am also a singer so i sang along to you playing! lol you are a amazing piano player to get to the chase of it!

[guineat7]

well done, its the perfect tempo!!! some poeple play it way to fast and take the time donw to almost 2 minutes. well done once again :D

[sadd02558964]

Probably some point small fault is roughly also well refuels

[shanzabbz]

thats pretty amazing playing.

Im hoping to sing this for my GCSE's and wandered if you could send the sheet music please? thank you

[thegoldenpower]

Pretty good. I just wish the sound quality was a little better on the video :)

[ladyfrench08]

your wayyyyyy too slow!

[rebekahaak]

yea but for singers all the other pinao versions i have tried to pratice with online the piano is too fast. And this speed is prefect for the singer. all the other verions the piano comes in too early and too fast.

[guineat7]

this isn't slow at all! this is close to the original tempo!

[Russianrulett]

didn`t convinced !!!

[AngelorPhantom1359]

whats your favorite song to play from phantom?

[cjwilkie]

That's a tough one. PoNR is my favourite song, but Think of Me has more to it on the piano.

[bluekittylover3]

I can play think of me and wishing you were somehow here again too, on the piano. And Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again on the violin! And you're a great pianist. ;) Keep it up!

[ivannabob262]

woah! you have the same book i do!

[StolenDreams1]

my goodness its so beautiful

[wblmolano]

i love it. :))

[cjwilkie]

ARGH goddammit I'm asleep I pressed remove instead of reply again to zoeavgoustakis. damn i'm sorry. I found that my hands weren't massive for certain chords I tried to play at first, but just practise and take them slow, and you'll get used to stretching a bit, even though there'll be some things you physically can't do. or just cut some notes out! you don't have to play things exactly from the book...

[oceanmist15]

I love this song, and you play it so beautifully! You could perform this at a concert!

[thewarnole]

I feel like I am actually at the show hearing you play...it's that accurate.

[broadwaystar74]

i luv singing 2 this! :)

[zoeavgoustakis]

:P you made me cry

thanks a heap...

nah ahha

..this is so beautiful

[matorme]

yeah sadly i have to concure lol you shud get a new mic as this one doesnt do you justice..amazin playing tho, love all ya vids (music of the night fink is my fav :D)

[tarajadexx]

I didn't think it was slow one bit, I thought it was a magnificent tempo and perfect to sing to, bravo. I wish I could play as you do.

[PirateGirl247]

This scene made me cry when I saw it because I could relate. This is really good!

X-D

[cjwilkie]

I'm sorry that you could relate to her loss...

[cjwilkie]

I guess in the show you are meant to be drawn into Christine's sorrow and lonliness at that point bringing it to a powerful emotional climax...

[Caldom92]

wt book due have. the film or show one?

[cjwilkie]

film - though the differences between the two are only the end of "think of me", and the addition of pieces in the film one which aren't that great

[PsychoMagnetic]

Oh, I love it. It's the right tempo aswell. Oh, wexcellent!

[cjwilkie]

local music store. but it's also on amazon/com, musicnotes/com, etc. if you check my "think of me" video you can see what the book looks like. it contains "solo piano" arrangements

[itcouldgetworse]

No offence to the other youtubers' attempts, your performance was the best. You picked the right slow tempo to match Christine's emotion felt at that very moment: a heartfelt desperate longing for the past. Well done!

[CurseForte]

I soo want the piano score book, where did you get it...Maybe I'm too young to play that. I can only play The music of the night and all I ask of you. You play soo well!

[cjwilkie]

you are never too young to play

[anakinpadme23]

hey i have been meaning to learn this for ages now, but i am self taught on teh piano, i played keyboard for years though, i was just wondering if it is very hard to play??

[cjwilkie]

generally, it's not that hard to play - it's simply melody/chords for the most part. having said that, it depends how much experience you have, though once you've learnt it you'll wonder how you ever found it difficult!

[SS4Xanatos]

You play this virutually the same way that I do. What I do is take the melody and make my own left hand style whether it be chords, broken chords, sheetstyle, or otherwise.

[dannabanana88]

I play this song on the piano as well, and i must say this is too slow, but it was well done at the same time.

[dancingjess]

this version is a little slow, but as a vocalist, i think it's much better than most already on youtube as they are played much faster than intended if you consider vocal part as well. This version is great to sing along to compared to some others.

[cjwilkie]

my intention with these phantom pieces has been to try to replicate the recordings as sung by Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman etc

[dannabanana88]

If that was your intention then you did a very good job =)

I never thought it wasnt done well, just thought it was a little slow, but i listened to the version you are talking about and yeah it works =) so great job.

[lvlygurl8293]

that was so good

[mgincsaveourhorses]

way to slow!

[UniversaNekochan]

I simply love the emotion you put in this song.You truly capture the drama of the song.Great job.

[jjjjjjjjj123123123]

favorite ohantom song. i agree, i was disapointed by the beginning on the piano but im still gonna learn it.

[jjjjjjjjj123123123]

PHANTOM*

[RockFreak19]

beautiful playing. i love this song so much. it rocks!!

[Vemluc]

I agree with MisunderstoodSoprano, you're my favourite Youtube pianist, too. You play all of your songs very passionately and whenever I feel like singing to something or just listening to POTO, I find your music.

[XxPhantomluverxX]

boring beggining...

[MisunderstoodSoprano]

Yea! I suggest this! Your my favorite youtube piano player!
