[XboxNinjaGamer360]

[BabyBullOwenUK]

Thats a lovely looking light switch!!!

[7SEVEN7ification]

No shit! Leave it to Bruce and go away.

[jrubball]

[oldskoolraveruk]

dj rogue

[Poyo279]

For all those people hateing on this vid. SCREW YOU! This is one of the best piano covers ive seen in a long time. So for all those haters. SHUT UP, GO AWAY,AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO! BECAUSE THIS SONG IS AMAZING!

[Rudolf555]

i can play with ur moms pussy!!

[Rudolf555]

FUCK YOU too!!!

[rush2pj]

damn u own at that shit

[Rudolf555]

you suck!!!!

[scarred1234]

I think people should stop judging this video on something it isnt. Its a cover of a song. WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE

P.s:BAlls

[Samiosamio111]

Yeah lol 2pac stole the song of bruce

[blazej1]

again copy of tupac

[gordo39432]

lol ignorant. tupac copied bruce hornsby. just to clear that up for anyone wondering

[scarred1234]

tupac made it better in my opinion

[islandboy274]

yup. It is your opinion, but your opinion makes me think you like Vanilla Ice's version of "Under Pressure" is better too.

[scarred1234]

Uhhhh NO!

[minorkatminor]

@gordo39432 he sampled the music. He didnt copy Bruce.

[br0dimi]

@gordo39432 and tupac lets bruce hornsby song alive thanks to pac i'am here

[Maeror2010]

Tupac sampled from Bruce.

[Tha2ndWimp]

Yup, that's the word.. 'sampled'... not stole like a lot of people seem to think

[Rudolf555]

how is sampled not stolen

retard

[Tha2ndWimp]

sampling isn't illegal.. I believe stealing is

[narfy]

@blazej1 Tupac was studying ballet and acting in High school when Bruce Hornsby released this original in 86...

[DeltaNC]

Pretty good, really wish I could play this song!

[sf2400]

hav been watching ur vids. do u ever make mistakes???

[wrestlingfreak24]

clip your fingernails

[SecurityBreach001]

haha you screwed the best part...^^

[Kels4you]

very good! I Just got the sheet music for this a few days ago and I'm excited to learn it I watched your video a few times to hear how it sounds. =)

[KrazyForKrazy]

I like what tupac did with this tune

[Spolings]

agreed, i like that in "changes"

[yamastique]

tupac? really?

[shivrajh71]

great job at keeping it original....

[sonofabrat]

makes me want to buy proactive

[Boozedog611]

haha best comment ever. Did Bruce hornsby compose the song for that one? Because you can hear the harmony of the chorus in it then it does some shitty major chord change.

Either way I loathe that whole industry.

[7514328]

So do I.

[cazzie1982]

no it's not the real thing, but neither are the three million other ones out there! At least this person puts a link up so we can see the REAL original video. Cheers and beers from Oz!!

[Peedr]

You did a really great job on this one!

[DaMiaN18882]

he's actually pretty good!

[Alton753]

I want to see Bruce Hornsby, not a kid...I mean, it is GREAT, but all the videos are covers...

[wghtsrgltng]

Anyone who would have to ask if this is Bruce Hornsby is an idiot ... this piano isn't even close... who the hell would ask a question that dumb?

[gordo39432]

lol you don't even know how many people get to this video and complain that it's not bruce hornsby...

[wghtsrgltng]

haha never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are

[wondrboi80]

Is that Princess Diana in the picture on the piano? IS that a dog/baby gate in the background?

[gordo39432]

ha its my mother in the early 90's, and yes it is a dog/baby gate.

[figfire]

Are you Bruce Hornsby? Is he in this video? Can I have the sheet music?

[55LSD]

Thats what im wondering too.The poster is such a douche to not include the answers in his video

[chavelo50]

When 2PAC comes back... He is going to join Bruce Hornsby on tour, it will unite the world.

[JOSEENUNO]

I agree!

Talking ab Rap makes me remeber of 2PAC's version of this song... Rap versions of good old songs should be forbidden! What 'they' did, for example, with Hotel California is just too bad to be true!

Anyway, the kid plays well, altough he forgets about "tempo" every now and then...

[aran125]

Hendrick44 Thank you...Rap is all shit...if you're white you don't belong listening to it, plain and simple...we don't live that life, so why blair the shit in the car...its really annoying! That's NOT a race thing people, it's just the truth. I really don't understand why white people get off on it so much.

[saintice45]

i'm willing to bet that there's a lot you don't understand, at which point we label you as IGNORANT. don't get offended "that's just the way it is" like the song says.

[aran125]

Are you Black saintice45????lmfao!!!!!!!

[aran125]

lmfao...wow. You must think you're a tough guy, ha bigman? GET A LIFE YOU FAGGOT! You sure have things coming your way really soon, ahahahaahah...you'll see. Tool

[saintice45]

threats, threats, and more threats...THIS GUY IS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT RAPPERS ARE VIOLENT, by calling me a nigger, a faggot, and saying he would kick my ass!!! LMMFAO!!!!

[aran125]

I was never the one to say that Rap music is violent, although anyone who denies that fact is Ignorant as you say...music is preference, and in my musical opinion as a musicain, Rap isn't music, it's poetry with musical elements...i'm done playing these stupid little internet games, but I know you're a little bitch and i'd fucking kill you...NOW SHUT IT

[supermandfyr]

I love tupacs version but i think bruce hornsby version is better

Nice Cover !!! xD

[Roelandinho1]

Where can I get the sheets:P?

[Yaunie13]

Where'd you get the sheet music?

[gordo39432]

from his anthology book

[yoshisenpuu211]

bruce hornsby's version is original. tupac's version was the stolen version, basically the same thing, just cut out some of the good lyrics and put in some swears basically.

[iferrit]

don't hate on tupac. they are both good songs in their own right.

[rinooori]

yeah dont hate on pac and maybe u should listen to the lryics more carefully ... and for your record tupac made this song famous nobody even knew who the fuck bruce hornsby was untill changes came out

[nicholswilliam]

not hating on pac but you must mean no Hip Hop fan knew who hornsby was. Real music fans have known who he was since before he won his best new artist grammy in '87 you douche

[allforyouz]

He also had a stint with an up and coming band, The Grateful Dead, in the 90's.

[Hendrick4404]

Hornsby made this song famous before anybody knew who the fuck tupac was. although, at least tupac appreciated a good song out of all the other crap he did. yeah i said it, shit. just like all of the other rap and hip hop.

[smspartansm]

all of the other rap and hip hop? you're being ignorant...not all rap and hip hop is shit...you cant judge it off some of what is put out today, ther are many good artists out there

[Hendrick4404]

yes, yes, all of it is bad. its not even music. all of it is shit. pure shit. plain and simple.

[smspartansm]

which is exactly why noone will ever take you seriously. It is not all shit. Some of the most critically acclaimed music in the last few decades has been rap and hip hop.

[Hendrick4404]

critically acclaimed for being violent, degrading music.

[smspartansm]

it is not all violent, degrading music...cmon...and some of it is violent, but you need to be violent when you are representing the types of horrible enviroments that you come from...not all rap is shit, not all hip hop is shot, some of it is shit. But there is music in any genre that is shit, im sure some of the music you like is commonly seen as shit, its how it is. I like Bruce Hornsby and I like Tupac, big deal...

[Hendrick4404]

most of it is. i could go on and on about issues such as the "n word", and degrading lyrics about women, and so on and so on. its not worth it. i know its shit and thats all there is to it. its all garbage. i havent heard any of it thats impressive to me. NONE.

[smspartansm]

well you clearly don't listen to much music. Don't bother arguing with me, if you can't find a single rap song that you find good, you need to get out more. You already showed your ignorance by mentioning the n word. The n word is sometimes used to explain a social issue, your brain apparently can't comprehend that. You listen to some Tupac, Lupe Fiasco, hell even some of Eminem's songs like lose yourself or mockingbird, and tell me that all rap is bad.

[Hendrick4404]

wait a minute, i didnt say a damn thing about race dumbass. and no i dont listen to that suck ass death metal shit. i dont listen to extremly violent music. and i believe i said most of it is violent and degrading to women. music is all about expressing yourself, however, its not music and there is a degree of limitation that you stop at before you write horrible, violent, and nasty lyrics. stop acting like a 10 year old and defending these thugs and go UNfuck yourself or i will.

[rr97khl]

so there's TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS SONG??? One with the word "nigga" in the lyrics, and the other one is different! So, the one my teacher played at school was the one with the black/white people stuff???? Cause we were talking about rap and poetry

[jdubjake1111]

too much staccato maybe. listen to the actual recording a few more times and get the style down. dont let yourself rush that tempo. Also, this happens to be a sont that doesnt require the pianist to play along with the lyrics. you could just get away with playing the piano part instead. nice job though and keep workin at it.

[Bomer43]

i want to see the proper song, not just retards playing it on their piano

[hildaatje]

WHERE IS BRUCE?????????

[PurpleLL]

Nice!!! can i have the music please??XD

I love that song by the way

[lukoshey79]

Ís it too much to ask that when i type in bruce hornsby the way it is, music video original, that i atleast get a hit from the man himself, these films are fine but come on, re address the titles or something your clogging up youtube...

[themightystripes]

i can't find the original either?!?!?!? HELP ME JEBUS!

[Skavar4000]

I automatically one star anyone who puts the original artist in the title without saying it is a cover. Sorry.

[gordo39432]

i don't care?

[fiffers]

Yeah maybe a bit too fast but hey, you play well anyway :)

[jwalker1996]

WAY TOO FAST AND TOO CORNY

[Ethiokarate1]

dude the start wus good but ya mesed up with rest

ur goin too fast

[calamaionero]

mmmf grrrrrrrr

[tizzyK]

can't remember if it was chas or dave, but one of em had a rare talent finely replicated right here ... well done!

[Falvator]

i love that song

[mikeybingbong]

tooo bouncy - but good i guess

[FoolPL]

its original...2pac use many samples

[Suuperman5461]

not bad, dude

[jkbezo]

RIP 2 PAC. : (

[nawidmonkey]

sounds like 2pac

[proby77]

that's cuz 2pac's is a remix of the song

[moviefanatic777]

Love it! Awesome song, awesome job playing it!

[hiwesdavz]

it does seem like a waltz.. not the melancholy feeling ur supposed to get.. but well played

[artcorvolet]

White

[lostandbrokened]

i think this is rele good. where did u get the music from for it?

[forabetterfuture]

it's seems a waltz...

[RFRISSEN]

I agree with Groovewerk... Sorry

[groovewerk]

sorry, very poor performance... no feeling...

[aran125]

lol...you're an asshole, and I think you're opinion is such shit.

[Coollimes]

It was a good performance but the 'march time' rhythm takes away the feeling. 4/5.

[BetsysView]

Check out Frankie Moreno and his band perform this Bruce Hornsby song! Go to either BetsysView or Frankie Moreno~ The Way It Is (Bruce Hornsby). Tell me Frankie isn't great! And check out his piano work!!!

[melgeo1999]

Hmmmm....

[IrishLincoln]

VERY nice

[jwatts86]

Damn, that was great!

[TofuProductionCinema]

nice, I played this not long ago, I may upload it as well. You did good, just slow it down a tad bit in a few parts, but overall, well done.

[aviationwingnut]

WOW!! WOW!!! What a job playing that!!! Are you teaching? I have always wanted to buy a Baby Grand and have always liked the piano. All I can say again, is WOW. REALLY impressive.

[kenny82]

beautifully played!

[sanrupo]

Wow, very well played! :)

[barclosed]

i,m learning the piano, and my main goal is to learn that song, and i,ll do it, thanks for the song

[Sabrevicious]

awesome man plain awesome

[silethebest]

nice do you have the sheet?

[vladder74]

Best song!

[AJAXno1]

2Pac's - Changes

[bart798]

you are a grat, the best. soo good interpretation. ok

[mar1lon4]

nice!! mate ur pretty gd keep it up

[Izzyblizz]

Your off the hook Gordo39432. I here a little of Pac's background in your song. Lovely!!

[MacRille]

One of the best songs in the world :) and u are playing it VERY GOOOD!!! :D keep the good work!!^^ :D

[kingmontyboy]

LOVIN U,R WORK

[nim1233]

xcuse me.. c an u send me this song it sounds so nice that i nid to hear it everyday..

[BluesGal17]

Hi gordo,

Very good job! (A little too fast in the middle for the lyrics to be absorbed by small brains)

Keep up the good work!

[kenny82]

this is just heaven! it's my goal to play like this... hopefully I will

[SpetRock]

What are you talking??? 2Pac make this song so much famous!!!! With Rap it hears much better!!!

[TomBombadilxXx]

Well, in fact 2Pac really ruined it, but not to much, since his crap song is almost a one-to-one copy of this great song. It's like cascada and for example moonlight shadow.

[Skillz9910]

Changes by tupac, is an amazing song

[Ozyrus]

It's a great song, but it's talk of 'devil's' puts me off it, i'm not going to listen to a song that's racist to my skin colour and black supremacist, and sadly 2pac took a song about racism for the beat sample, for his subject matter he used the opression of black people, but then was anti white, so i found it to be hypocritical, as hornsby's was more open ended to interpretation.

[GhettoAnthony]

Wow. Moron.

[koennetje]

I think it's nice. But to much rush in it. With the whole chords playing along in places where only tekst has that rythm.

You can easily slow it a bit down and make it more relaxed. I think it will sound a lot better that way (you gotta find the right tempo first offcourse) And work a bit on the faster part (bet that will be easier if you slow the entire song down a bit)

good work though ;) I still have to do this piece so all I do at the moment is talk big haha ;-)

[gordo39432]

its cool, this vid is so old haha. i play it completely differently now and it sounds a whole lot better... i need to record it and repost probably.

[koennetje]

haha okay i know how it works :P I have that with my forrest gump suite (but still have to get the recordings from a friend of mine :P.

I'm curious how you play it now ^^ (if you repost it ... could you send me word of it?)

[willfred100]

i learnt to play this a while ago, and my version sounds completely different except for the solo haha, nice playing though.

[asherwashere]

statepolice012 is stupid. tupacs versoin id cooler

[statepolice012]

theres a tupac version and i hate it. its rap and its crap. this is more relaxing and peaceful. i give it 5 stars

[mistavalentino]

nice

[willo1061]

very rushed oiece

[tremayne3]

Great!!

[neyeseek]

nice

[booy44]

tupacs is better

[serbinow]

hell yeahh

[eilidhsdad]

Fantatsic, such a hard piece to learn, but you managed to get a lot of the expression, as well as the technical aspects, nailed. Brill.

[agifb]

I heard Thumper Newman & Bruce Hornsby are Friends

[UFOHaiti]

I wish Bruce Hornsby posted his videos here instead of not wanting to display his videos here for free.

[reaper69316]

timing a little off

[sonnerox]

i absolutelly love this song! can anyone tell me where i can find the original piano notes from the song, inclusive the solo? thx. i really want to learn how to play it.

[danimah]

awesome!!

[MugenRac1ng]

Love this song, they still play it on the radio here all the time!

[insanecandy998]

the real version sound something similar boys 2 men a song for mama

[ibspooky1]

Wow that was a great job you did! Love the song.

[atothetaomega]

In a nutshell Tupac made this song famous lol, the Tupac version is my all time favorite song, and Tupac is my all time favorite artist, R.I.P.

[Lesz88]

This song remeber me on some thing.

[profittlich]

maybe your english class

[Lesz88]

No i see it now.. spell rong!

[SexyGirlsLoveRICK]

This is good!

[peaksideprince]

no he just sampled it

[yoitsalex46]

did 2pac remake the whole song or whats te deal with that?

[henrixrevolution]

good, but your rendition sounds too skippy and cheerful.

[wsurocks1]

hey where did you get the sheet music for this?? or did you just learn it by ear?

you should send me the link please :D

[MontageMan505]

same here

[gl3fire]

same here

[gordo39432]

i bought his entire anthology book and learned it roughly out of there

[D3C02]

gd!

[kwixotic]

Good rendition but the piano should be tuned.

[a532]

the family portrait in the background really adds to the effect
