Dude, You made me realize the parts about my childhood that I really enjoyed, loved and missed, and ultimately, regretted. I wish songs like this were still being sung.

[phillipmills]

[MrPikachutrainer]

I could honestly listen to this forever . Absolutely beautiful <3

[phillipmills]

@jennielikesducks thank you very much

[danielbones]

Dude, This was fucking awesome! I have never heard a better cover of this song before...Thanks:)

[phillipmills]

@danielbones haha thanks. i'm glad that you enjoyed it

[nickpontoski]

The army outfit you are wearing makes me wanna say...thank you so much for you services to our country...I LOVE this song and I think you play it absolutely beautifully..your a very talented musician and I prey you keep up the great work!

[phillipmills]

@nickpontoski my pleasure, glad you liked it

[azndraggo]

PHIL! ok. i found the book, however, i would have to buy this entire book for this single song. Please confirm with me that the arrangement in this book is EXACTLY reflective of the performance. I would hate to purchase this entire book to find that this performance was your own improvisation of much simplified version. Please advise. Thanks! Warren

[phillipmills]

@azndraggo I'm very sorry to disappoint you Warren but this performance is in fact an improv of a MUCH simpler version that you would find in the book. What you will find in the book is "fake music". If you're unfamiliar with fake music, it's just the one note melody and chords.

[azndraggo]

Phil, I am very inspired by your interpretation of this piece. To be frank, i would like the sheet music for this particular arrangement. I'm hoping this isn't completely your own work whereas a sheet music doesn't exist.

I would be willing to pay for this. Please email me at wyang@tfi-corp.com if you'd be willing to help pass this great arrangement onto a fellow piano enthusiast. I would greatly appreciate it. My name is Warren. talk to you soon Phil. Many thanks you in advance.

[yasdrum]

最高にCOOLでかつセクシーな兄さんや！！カッコいい！！

[phillipmills]

@yasdrum どうもありがとうございました！

[scorpiodyonisius]

@jimm47 hai genius, if u notice, he did a few mistakes in some videos. i did notice it. but again...nobodys perfect. only one person like him, no one can replace. u might b able to play better than him. but phillipmills is phillipmills, n u is u. i still give him 2 thumbs up.

[phillipmills]

@scorpiodyonisius yea I intentionally include mistakes sometimes in my vids so that people know i'm actually playing and so they don't get discouraged cause even I mess up quite a bit. it's part of being a musician! appreciate the comment.

[scorpiodyonisius]

hai philipmills, lets laugh on jimm47 together. this kindda person dont have any other job but looking for others slip.

[phillipmills]

@scorpiodyonisius lol thanks

[Merhianblade]

@phillipmillis where did you get the sheet music at? or did you do this by ear?

[phillipmills]

@Merhianblade in a music book called "The Movie Fakebook"

[azndraggo]

@phillipmills Phillip. i've been looking everywhere for this "the movie fakebook" to find this sheet music but have not been able to find it. Will you PLEASE help me? Please Phillip. I'm an avid fan of yours. Warren.

[jjmm47]

@phillipmills i don't need to play the song, there's a few on youtube already. you can think what you want about my comment, but it was straight out the first thing that came to my mind, that it seemed like it wasn't you who was playing.

[jjmm47]

ummm, are you all blind? he's obviously not the one playing... at least not all of it.

[phillipmills]

@jjmm47 hahaha, oh jake. why on Earth would i take the time to fake 124 videos? lol. doubters (such as yourself) really give me a good laugh. so, thank you for that, sir

[jjmm47]

@phillipmills as a musician myself, i noticed that the music was just flat. for such a beautiful song, it just sounded the same from the star to the end (you might know this as dynamics, phrasing, tempo rubato, etc.) your BODY is moving soooo much, but the music just isn't. THAT'S why i didn't think you were the one playing. it sounds like a computer. sorry if i offended you in my earlier post.

[Tasadaru]

are those air force bdus? for some reason they make more sense than abus.

[phillipmills]

@Tasadaru yes, they are AF BDUs

[Vincenzo529]

I grew up listening to this when I was a kid. How long have you been playing?

[phillipmills]

@Vincenzo529 for about 8 years now

[Vincenzo529]

@phillipmills That's good. I've play for about 16 yrs. I'm about average though!! More of a play by ear type!!

[dangergurl87]

This is truly amazing, I need to find the sheet music for this I am dying to play it!!! Keep playing, really, you are inspiring :)

[phillipmills]

@dangergurl87 thanks! that means a lot

[thehottestguy23]

your so talented. and when you play it sounds so smooth, iv seen a lot of other youtubers play piano. but they dont have the smoothness like you . its like listening to jim brickman. he is very smooth as well.

[phillipmills]

@thehottestguy23 thank you very much

[chelseeexo]

You are amazing :)

[phillipmills]

@chelseeexo thank you :)

[mahalnbebi]

Great!! I love it! =) Thank you! It's a very memorial song .. I connect a lot with it! Thank you for this wonderful version! It is sooooooooo nice!!

[phillipmills]

@mahalnbebi no problem!

[zimwivez]

I love how soulfully you play this song, you put a lot of heart into your music. Very beautiful, thanks =)

[phillipmills]

@zimwivez thank you very much!

[CharizardFireGod]

A man in an army suit has made my tears fall by playing one of the most emotional renditions of one of my favorite songs ever.... now I truly have seen it all.

[AurynThePaladin]

GJ man, you do the song justice.

[phillipmills]

[fallensonrise]

this was so unfreakingbelievably good i created a youtube account just to comment on it.

by far the best rendition i've ever heard.

[phillipmills]

thank you!! :)

[marilou441]

Phil this is what i meant by playing the piano with so much passion. I do love how you look while you play the piano. Oh My Oh My. That was such an outstanding performance. And the music has been well rendered. I wish i can reach you in any way so i can be of help in your future endeavors. I love this music so much and hope you visit the philippines one of these days.

[phillipmills]

I hope to visit the Philippines one day actually :) It'd be great to play there! I'm glad you like my music. That means a lot

[marilou441]

Its not only I who liked a lot your music but my kids as well. They are born artists as well but plays guitar. and you inspired them a lot too. This is one of my favorite song so far. Just wish that when you visit the philippines i get to have the nearest seat in the concert.

[phillipmills]

u will! :)

[kobisprite]

I think this deserves more views than it has attracted so far.

[phillipmills]

i will appreciate you thinking that :)

[taishonoyuki]

very beautiful!!! by any chance do you have the music sheets for this song? iv tried looking for it everywhere but i cant find it. but once again you did a great job on this song =)

-Kaleigh Yamaguchi

[phillipmills]

i do but it's all packed away for the summer in CO and I'm in TX for the summer. sorry...glad u liked it :)

[kyokat]

This is the most emotive versions I have heard on here. So many are simply played and not felt. This song needs that extra bit to make it and I think you did it! WELL DONE!

[phillipmills]

[SirEscandade]

Ehm. If you've found some producers and you released a CD, I would be happy, if the CD's would be in the stores :P

So I can buy it... but the problem, I live in Switzerland. :D

[phillipmills]

i wish i could find someone who would invest the time into me. i'd gladly pursue music :p but i must be realistic in the likelihood of that happening. i am tryin to make some home recordings though.

[yves159]

Now do that without the arpeggiator ;)

[phillipmills]

what are you talkin about? i didnt use an arpeggiator in this song. havent in any song :p thats all me with the "80's Layer" voice. :)

[SirEscandade]

Dude, ur playing is amazing. :)

[phillipmills]
