Heavy Rain - Piano Suite

[juggernoud1]

My number 1 favorite video of you!! Simply cannot get enought of this one =D

[LiamBMSli]

And you played it amazingly :P Also loved the rain effects!

[LiamBMSli]

I think this song made the game what it is today! Without this song heavy rain would probably have been a lot more plain. The song gave the game emotion more then anything else :P

[acuity1980]

@LiamBMSli i absolutely agree. take away the music, and the game wouldnt be the same. and thanks for the compliment :)

[Yunusutaro]

3 People are;

[whiteyAlcade]

the like count is 666 :S ima like it so it gonna be 667 :)

[acuity1980]

@whiteyAlcade phew! that was good of you :D

[whiteyAlcade]

Heavy Rain made Chuck Norris cry...

[acuity1980]

@whiteyAlcade so finally there is the cure for cancer!

[mauspat84]

When you play the love scene part - do really really stretch your hand from d' to f''??? How does that work? I definitely don't have small hands, but it is impossible for me to play.

[acuity1980]

@mauspat84 Yes, i really do ^^ my hands don´t have problems with far stretches like that. *lucky me* :)

sorry that you seem to have problems with that stretches =/

[ukanlos71]

@acuity1980 im here trying to learn painful memories, and im a sophmore in piano 1, so I'd like to ask you how long did it take for you to learn the song?

[acuity1980]

@ukanlos71 hmm good question. i guess something like a week from getting sheet music to recording. its quite long ago, i dont really remember >.<

[whiteyAlcade]

this made me play the game again... the game made me cry the first time around... now there's a flood in my living room...

[Clone519]

Fork! any piano sheets for this?

[acuity1980]

@Clone519 look my reply to "Martinbrufal2"

[Clone519]

@acuity1980 Woah thanks!

[Martinbrufal2]

You're just amazing dude, really. I spoke with Normand Corbeil and he told me that i had to ask first Sony to get all sheets from Heavy Rain's tracks, are they really on Google?, any suggest of website to get'em easily?, this video is now in my favorites, thanks so much for sharing! :D

[acuity1980]

@Martinbrufal2 Yes they can be found with google. search for "heavy rain piano suite sheet music"

it should be the second link. and it should lead you to 4shared dot com.

you are welcome :)

[XXpainthroughloveXX]

I am just beginning to learn how to play this piece but I already love it <3

[acuity1980]

@XXpainthroughloveXX yeah it´s a very emotional piece, i love it too

[Mirrorunlimited]

Muhaha, I can play it also like this *evil smily*

[OrigamiOrchid]

@Mirrorunlimited sure... ;)

[Packoll]

This Music makes me sad Makes me Cry ..Makes me to think about my Decisions that i choose in my live. Decisions that took me a Hole Year to choose. Decisions That Changes my Live!

I Wish i could play Piano but i cant and now is no time to learn it. I'`m Sry..

[jrmanaloguzman]

[acuity1980]

@jrmanaloguzman wow, thanks for the comments, so many of them ^.^

[lowigibros]

@acuity1980 well you deserve them :D and i like your playing....

[jrmanaloguzman]

I want to learn piano and do this for myself

[jrmanaloguzman]

This made me cry love the game

[MadTahaney]

needasheetneedasheet XD

It's awesome ^w^ It's gorgous! It's PERFECT Ö

[acuity1980]

@MadTahaney thank you very much!

sheet music is easy to find with google. search for heavy rain piano suite sheet music. a link to 4shared dot com should show up ^^

[santiagorojaspiaggio]

Love the game, love the piano, love the video

[gmodsfreaks]

Just.... Just amazing

[acuity1980]

@gmodsfreaks thank you!

[acuity1980]

@Megafrinje Thanks! yes the second i decided that i want to cover the soundtrack, i knew i would have to add a rain sound. It only seemed logical xD

I am glad you enjoyed it!

[death37]

Very well done, Im a fan of the game and the music brings me piece (very good for meditation and reflection of thought). your skills are amazing, you must keep it up and get better, who knows mabe the next time your seen you will be on tv

[acuity1980]

@death37 thanks! i doubt i will appear on tv though xD

[guitar1188]

Heavy rain was freaking amazing

[Roxann308]

This must be a very popular game...your views and comments here are off the charts - no less a nod to your venerated stature as a pianist. :) It's a very interesting piece...the rain and storm in the background give it such an ominous feel. I'm not familiar with this game, but it sounds indeed dark and sinister. Excellent performance, Alex...it's flawless!

[acuity1980]

@Roxann308 yes it´s a popular game, though some call it an interactive movie rather than a game. but it´s great no matter what you call it.

the storm in the background was Joy´s idea btw ;)

I almost run out of ways how to reply to your praises xD I can only say thank you so much !

:)

[MrTaylork1]

@acuity1980 yes definitely an interactive movie. One with an insanely dark and depressing, but incredibly gripping story.

[acuity1980]

@MrTaylork1 agreed!

[MarcAnMod]

Great piece of art both in the arrangement and the interpretation. Thank you for sharing!

[acuity1980]

@MarcAnMod you are welcome. in fact, i thank you for watching and commenting!

[Starl1ghtX]

Godlike

[acuity1980]

@Starl1ghtX oh that is faaar too kind

[BidouDadidou]

This music is so beautiful <3 And you play it perfectly, I wish I could do the same ! I've almost cried listening to this, it reminds me of the game which is just amazing....

[acuity1980]

@BidouDadidou thank you! i am sure it´s not perfect how i play it but as good as i can do ^^

But i appreciate your compliment !

[BidouDadidou]

@acuity1980 My pleasure ! And for me it's just perfect :D

Keep playing, that's all I can say ^^

[Spid3R100]

3 people won't do anything for the one they love... :(

[acuity1980]

@Spid3R100 sad, right?

[Spid3R100]

@acuity1980 very :(

[N0w4ki]

Le rendu est parfait, dès que je t'écoute jouer l'émotion monte en moi et je pense à ce jeu qui est tout simplement grandiose !!

[acuity1980]

@N0w4ki thank you very much! had to use google translator to understand your comment though ^^

[alpang6161]

when i play this song i could never play it right so now i listen to u succeed on wat i failed on.

[acuity1980]

@alpang6161 well thanks for watching, and don´t give up, keep practicing

[alpang6161]

@acuity1980 the problem is when im playing the part of "last breath" and when playing the "love scene" and for this part i can't reach all the notes since i have such a small hand

[acuity1980]

@alpang6161 oh yes, i remember when i was playing this suite i thought, how are people with smaller hands going to play this o.O

[HeavyRainLove]

I am not even kidding, I cried really hard listening to this. I play piano, and whenever I try playing this, I can hardly get through certain parts, just because it's so freaking depressing. ;__;

[GoldenBoy50827]

Painful memories :(

[FaithfulWisdom]

I also play the piano. I get exactly what you mean by playing long songs and having to do them over. My longest song I believe is around 6 minutes, and it was painstakingly hard to get it as right as I did.

[acuity1980]

@FaithfulWisdom yeah it´s a pain sometimes, right? but being persistent pays off afterwards ^^

[shannonbriggs100]

Amazing...I have just finished learning Painful Memories and it makes me emotional everytime I play it.

Such a sad beautiful song for such a deeply emotional game as Heavy Rain.

[acuity1980]

@shannonbriggs100 Thanks for the comment!

I agree.. truly sad songs which perfectly fit the games atmosphere

[TDCKORAY]

@acuity1980 oh now the link work...i was go to the link withe the mobile phone maybe that was the problem ... With the computer can i download it :-) ...thanks for help:-)...and the compliment was not so good now a good compliment: You play it very wonderful...with many emotions for me you are one of the best piano player here on youtube :-) ...and sry for my bad english :-(...;-)

[acuity1980]

@TDCKORAY dann antworte ich mal auf deutsch ^^ danke für das kompliment! und zu deiner anderen frage wegen dem soundtrack; also das ist eine suite, sozusagen ein medley was ein fan zusammengebastelt hat. Wie die einzelnen Stücke heissen (und wie man sie dann wahrscheinlich auch auf dem OST findet) steht ja oben in meinem video, z.B. Painful Memories oder Last Breath

Danke nochmal ^^

[TDCKORAY]

@acuity1980 Danke für die Hilfe habe es jetzt gefunden außer Prolouge The beginning of the day ...beim OST ist das nicht dabei(oder ich finde es nicht, weil es nur eine Stelle eines Musikstücks ist :D )

P.S: Abonniert :D

[Honorfull]

I always tell myslef that Piano is Music from the soul, i can never explain to annyone. But with this song,

I Can...

[TDCKORAY]

MP3 Link dont work he let me go to the main page of mediafire...and to the video ...you play it very good

[acuity1980]

@TDCKORAY hm that´s strange. i just clicked the link and for me a download button appears. if it keeps not working for you, send me your email adress in a private message and i will email you the mp3.

oh and thanks for the compliment!

[roidz17]

Babysit me!

[SinisterFahim]

this just makes me sad, and makes me wonder about life..... :'(

[ImmortalPunishment]

Woaw, I keep coming back, in the dream that it is me who is playing such a beautiful piece of art.. I can't play piano, but I really wish I could..

I would sit in the school and play this all day long, showing that I am a sensitive guy :(

[acuity1980]

@ImmortalPunishment Thanks fpr the compliment!

btw.. i don´t think you have to be able to play piano to show that you are a sensitive guy. i´m sure there are other ways ^^

[StrawbelIyCake]

Ich hör dieses Lied so verdammt oft. Ich liebe einfach, wie du es spielst und die Untermalung mit dem Regen. Danke dir!

[acuity1980]

@StrawbelIyCake Tatsächlich? wow danke :) freut mich dass es dir so sehr gefällt dass du öfter wieder kommst ^_^

danke DIR

[ImmortalPunishment]

WHERE IS MY INSTANT REPLAY BUTTON!?!?!?!? :(

[acuity1980]

@ImmortalPunishment lol thanks for the compliment i guess ^^

and there is a download link for the mp3 ;)

[NekoChibiGal]

this is very relaxing to listen to

[Halks1RI]

[acuity1980]

@Halks1RI :) glad you like it!

[AnGieD1211]

[MyCrysisWars]

Hi, do you have any sheets to this suite?

[acuity1980]

@MyCrysisWars hey.. you can find them easily by searching "heavy rain piano suite sheet music" on google. should be there at the top

[Zexion04]

Hey it's me again, I get a question : did you use the website rainymood to get that rain on the background ? It's amazing .. If no, how did you do that ?

[acuity1980]

@Zexion04 Hey!

no, i didn´t use that website. i didn´t even know that site until now xD

i used a rain sample in my music program "garage band" for the rain

also the thunder is from that program.

[Metal2Trance]

Why would anyone dislike this?....... seriously?...... 

[acuity1980]

@Metal2Trance donno.. maybe they just don´t like it ^^

[407swag407]

Hey Acuity,

I just came a big fan of yours when I saw you play on Alyssa Marie's channel. I love your work dude :) Keep it up! Thanks for doing Heavy Rain :)

[acuity1980]

@407swag407 Hey thanks man!

glad to see fans of Alyssa actually check out my channel too xD

i appreciate it!

[407swag407]

@acuity1980 Ya I started listening to you a lot too. I'm a huge fan bro. Can't wait to see what you come out with next

[acuity1980]

@407swag407 thanks !

about my next upload: today

hint: final fantasy ^^

[Darknefarious]

Ah its soo beautiful!! :')

[acuity1980]

@Darknefarious thank you :)

[mands11x11]

I cried :') you play so wonderful <3

[acuity1980]

@mands11x11 danke schön! aber nicht weinen ^^ krieg ich immer ein schlechtes gewissen xP

[mands11x11]

@acuity1980 Der Soundtrack des Spiels ist wirklich wunderschön, ich könnte mir das rund um die Uhr anschauen! & das Spiel ist wirklich das Beste was ich jemals gespielt habe!<3

[acuity1980]

@mands11x11 Der soundtrack ist schon irgendwie magisch. er passt zu der atmosphäre des spiels wie die faust aufs auge. ich könnte mir nichts anderes für das spiel vorstellen :)

[Joseph06238]

3 Xbox360 dogs!

[acuity1980]

@Joseph06238 then on my halo video there is one PS3 dog ;) 

[88matheos1]

3 people have no idea whats the game and the song is about!

[88matheos1]

dude you are exellent!

[acuity1980]

@88matheos1 thank you very much !

[ladygagarockism]

I like piano music but dude below. Don't be fucking hating on lady gaga. She makes real music also. Open up your ears and listen to her lyrics sometime, k?

[acuity1980]

Respond to this video... Hey, i know. music has so much variety. We should all just get along. So, i asked him and i will ask you,too: please don´t swear in the comments section, k? ^^

[TheBlueDinos]

@ladygagarockism Listen, Lady Gaga is really awesome. I do agree, and she's very intelligent, and makes beautiful music, but I do think instrumentals, and actual MUSIC, deserves more credit then most of her viewed videos. Like PokerFace, eh, it's not nearly as good as this.

[TheBlueDinos]

This should be the most viewed video on youtube, not stupid fucking Justin Bieber, and Lady gaga.

[acuity1980]

@TheBlueDinos that´ll never happen though ^^

but please refrain from swearing ok? i´d like to keep my comment section clean. thanks :)

and also i think it´s all personal preference what one likes and what not. but i appreciate your support of course :)

[TheBlueDinos]

@acuity1980 Oh, sorry o_o" But, seriously, this is just amazing. ^__^ Please keep up the good work.

[acuity1980]

@TheBlueDinos no worries. no harm done ^.^ except, someone else is swearing here now xD

[TheBlueDinos]

At 4:16 all I can imagine is Ethan just crying really hard D"X

[TheBlueDinos]

I literally cried a few tears listening to this ;__;

[acuity1980]

@TheBlueDinos O.o that means a lot! thanks for telling!

[marauzito]

I love This song! Please make a tutorial! PLEASE! :s

[acuity1980]

@marauzito i´m sorry. but i don´t make tutorials. i just don´t have the time. =/

[Zexion04]

There's no need to argue, you're the best with this cover by far. I was blown away, sooo amazing, really. And the rain added to it perfectly suited too... What else can I say ? Thanks for the MP3, and you've got one more subscriber !

[acuity1980]

@Zexion04 thank you very very much! i don´t know what to say actually ^^ you are welcome for the MP3, and thanks for subscribing :)

[NielsHammersMusic]

very good

[acuity1980]

@NielsHammersMusic Thank you very much :)

[NielsHammersMusic]

@acuity1980 you're very welcome my friend i've actually been listening this all day

[MegaMrMusik]

Thanks for this piano suite .... it is so wonderful ´:)

[acuity1980]

@MegaMrMusik you are very welcome! thank YOU for watching and commenting!

[acuity1980]

@MegaMrMusik thank you for commenting !

[btbam22394]

NICEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Thank you soooooooooo much for the mp3! I was trying to learn this and you putting the mp3 up saved my butt!

[acuity1980]

@btbam22394 thanks !

you are welcome for the mp3

[dropdeadugly100]

I don't understand the logic of disliking a video that plainly deserves recognition of true talent.

[acuity1980]

@dropdeadugly100 and thanks again ^^

don´t know what to say about the dislikes. some people might just not like it, who knows

[dropdeadugly100]

This is probably the most accurate video on you tube when compared with the original soundtrack. Well done.

[acuity1980]

@dropdeadugly100 thank you very much for the compliment! i appreciate it :)

[beerkenstein]

I honestly say: it is worthy of all of your efforts...

Thank you.

[acuity1980]

@beerkenstein thank you for listening to the whole suite :)

[trmedeiros89]

Please, friend! How can I get the piano sheet for "Love Scene" music? Thanks

[acuity1980]

@trmedeiros89 you can get the sheet music for this whole suite on google. just search for heavy rain piano suite sheet music. it should be a "4shared"-link

[Grayfox541]

The first chords of the video - the Prologue- are the saddest chords I've ever seen... Amazing! *___*

[acuity1980]

@Grayfox541 Normand Corbeil needs to get the credit here :) he composed this beautiful soundtrack

[wildesentertainment]

This video has inspired me to make some heavy rain intro titles (the ones where the game first loads up and it's that really cool rain effect) I plan to upload them on here for anyone to use cos youtube is all about sharing. Hopefully make them in a few days time :D

[acuity1980]

@Warriorofthe7Heavens don´t worry about your english ^^ i am german, so.. i can´t judge anyone´s english xD

and thanks for your comment :)

[MrCombineGuy]

4:16

Am i the only one who imagines a camera shot of a lone man from behind, i'm a mansion, standing behind a gigantic, old looking, glass window. Overlooking the cold and murky village that lies beneath the mansion, with his hands behind his back stand in a sad stance.

[acuity1980]

@MrCombineGuy well i guess most of the people who listen to this know or have played the game and have different associations with the music. but of course i tried to imagine the picture you are painting and yeah, it fits really well! music = amazing :)

[MrCombineGuy]

@acuity1980 I don't know why but when that lightning struck. I couldn't help but think of Amnesia. I guess that's where i got it from.

[acuity1980]

@MrCombineGuy wish i had a gaming pc and played that game xD only played a small portion (with the water "ghost" or whatever it was) at a friends computer. freaking scary atmosphere :D
