Jessie (Joshua Kadison)

[kwixotic]

If this was done by ear you obviously have a great talent. I'm endowed with that too but I put it to good use by becoming a piano tuner(oh, and still try to learn tunes like this if they "resonate" with me enough like this song does).

[bimmelmongo]

Coooooooooooooool

[1990Ulrike]

very, very impressive!!!! cant stop listening to it!

[mastergx1]

Well played and with heart - nice one!

[pianoandy1]

[jonti1000]

excellant

mate put some piano to mine - a gift 4 u

[thisismenow1983]

I love (!) singing along with your play. The only thing that keeps messing me up is I think you play one extra chord right before the chorus. Or it could be me??

[FatyaVerve]

I want to hear ur music every day.............

[Mscain1981]

Really Nice Sir ...

[EgeHakan]

WoW +.*

[lola13243546576879]

Great piece! I love it and need to hear it while jogging. What have you done with your hands?

[boomer5646]

I don't know where I've been but I just heard this song by Joshua a couple of days ago. I saw your link after watching a video a friend posted on FB. I wanted you to know how incredibly gifted you are! that was truly AWESOME!! and inspiring, thank you!!

[flokkertje]

[Randos381]

very nice :-)

[Grafikbug]

Awesome!

[madhurie100]

just perfect! no words left

[wallygator999]

Really enjoyed your rendition of this melody - lovely personal improvisations here and there, great sounding chords at 3.25 and beautiful tone thereafter. 4 mins 50 secs of great musical talent - thanks for sharing.

[bigdy]

great..

[xXxCARINE]

do you have the notes ?

hope you will answer me =D.

x

[nimmerfroh]

learned by ear, no notes.

[watergirl2000]

yay squared :)

[marinni13]

Wow, you're really good at playing piano! :D :D Do you have the notes/sheets for the song? ;p - I would really be happy if you had :b

Sure, you got talent!! :)

Hope you will answer me :D

[MultiGhost78]

[poky611]

[DabHandDebs]

"Beautiful mate" :) luv that song

[DuskY1991]

Great, great piano cover.

I can't play piano myself, though I'd always wanted to learn it.

I'm now trying to arrange this for (fingerstyle) guitar and it's daunting. This is very helpful!

[Tarotlynx]

Brilliant.  You're a great pianist.

[blackratsnakes]

Thank you, always appreciated.

[bryanhfs]

I play a little piano and I envy your talent, you play brilliantly!

[DanRodichok]

I'd love to hear you add melody.

[THEAlexPKeaton]

talented... you sound really good dude, and its done by ear n all, awesome :)

[opstwin2]

Very great, fantastic!!

I look for the piano sheets for a long time, but i can't find.

Can you send me the sheets pls!!!

[blackratsnakes]

Can't, it was all done by ear.

[Chillmaster777]

Awesome.love it

[liazuki]

why do u wear wraps around ur wrists?? isit for the piano playing?

[blackratsnakes]

partially torn ligaments in both wrists. Latety I'm having problems with my thumbs too so haven't been able to play as much. that's life.

[GetnFunky]

Can you sing? Would be nice if you could continue with that right? Or something else musically

[brandybemyname]

that sucks, hope theyre feeling a bit better now, ill bet you get really tired of answering that question though ^_^

[blackratsnakes]

I agree, I love just playing the piano parts. Thanks for the comment.

[engun1]

Hi, would you please consider making a tutorial? There isn't a single one on this brilliant song on YouTube. Thanks!

[Manni1910]

Great, fantastic ! When i hear this, i start to dream. Thank You for playing this song !

[MIDB2323]

My god -> amazing :-) you played awesome :-) soooo easy lookin :-) you are gifted :-) thanx for hearing :-)

[blackratsnakes]

Thanks for that comment, glad you enjoyed it.

[Watzinator1]

best piano cover on youtube of this song

[rikgierman]

awsome, very nicely played (Y)

[peterkouman]

Fabulous!!! 10'

[blackratsnakes]

Thank you!

[FalconMan1960]

YOU PLAYED IT JUST LIKE JOSH! I am inspired!!

[nienepien89]

Even without the lyrics, you are able to reach me.. Amazing..

[blackratsnakes]

not sure, this was all done from ear.

[emusic007]

This was the first song i decided to learn after buying a keyboard back in 1995. Needless to say i had to struggle a 1000and times with the intro :)

Wanna learn it fast? Get a cheap sequencer software, download or buy the midi file and open the piano track in pianoroll view inside the sequencer.

At least that how I learned it.

Go for it.

[niim1990]

Hey, ive got a question... can u make a sort of tutorial 2?? i need to play this one for my mother... she died yesterday and now i wanna play this song when she get burried... It was her favorite song on the piano thats why .. so thanks anyway

[blackratsnakes]

I don't think I'm up for a tutorial plus I don't have a great way to get an overhead view. Sorry about your loss though, I wish you the best of luck.

[Metzy76]

Just lovely!

[bartjevdw]

Thanks for giving me some inspiration for this song... In a few weeks i have to play this song (on piano to)... I can't read notes so carefully watching your fingers i hope to manage it in time :-P its not easy from the side do ;-)

[blackratsnakes]

Hey I hope my video can help. Good luck! If you end up posting your own version let me know.

[EquineGrace]

with this one i have discoverd you...i love the song!!!! i even sing it on your piano part...

[blackratsnakes]

that's what I love about doing these covers. I make them simple (without the melody) so if someone wants to sing along it works out nicely.  Thanks for singing :)

[EquineGrace]

great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1rstHarmonic]

Another amazing performance! I love this song and glad to hear it- not one often played.

[brandybemyname]

wow this is beautiful

[blackratsnakes]

I hope you sang along.

[brandybemyname]

now i have to go find the original and hear the lyrics

[pianoman1969]

Nice job!

[mjelski]

This is an amazing cover. And thanks for not playing the melody. I can sing along and now learn what to play as it sounds so perfect!!!

[blackratsnakes]

That's what I usually like to do (no melody) but some of my covers include it. This one came out good according to people's comments like yours. Thanks!

[DylanRur]

Well done!

Normally im not so in to covers, but i really like your's!

Thats all i wanted to say :D

[blackratsnakes]

Hey I appreciate the feedback. I think songs tend to come out better without the melody being played in the right hand. This way it's more like the actual song but that's just my opinion.

[carcaril]

Formidable playin! Very good performance. :-) BTW ur wrist are hurt? Maybe inline skatin?

[blackratsnakes]

parially torn ligaments in my wrist.  thanks for checking this out.

[GetnFunky]

Maybe it's better to sit a little higher behind your piano? Great covers though, keep it up xD

[CruznVette]

Love that song.....i have the music for it and urs sounds alot better......nice job

[blackratsnakes]

Thanks. If you can listen to the song and copy what you here, that's a great way to play it. Doesn't your sheet music have you playing the voice in the right hand? Usually the sheet music sticks that in there and I hate playing that.

[Bastiaans18]

Verkeerde toonhoogte gozert

[fabiandevries]

Might be the pre-carnaval evening has been a rush to your ears, but this ís the good one ;o!

How do you suppose he should play it then? # or b?

[Rubdos]

Cool!

[qmusicisgoodforme]

You really do play great! keepitup mate ;)

Btw, what's with your arms? broken or something?

You are tha BOMB!

[zonnebanke]

every time i see this video i'm starting to be happy, i can't say it enough, your good. this video brought me back in action for playing piano, i just need to practice the listening thing :-) back in time i have always used sheets so it isn't so easy anymore :-)

[blackratsnakes]

Just keep practicing and don't give up. Everyday you probably get a little better and before you know it you'll have the whole song and be singing along to it.

[zonnebanke]

i hope so, the problem is i have examinations now. so not much time to practice, but i hope i can find the wright notes (cords or how do you say akkoorden in english). at least i have a challange now:-)

[brentleyy]

akkoorden in engels is "chords":d

[zonnebanke]

ah k :p ja da engels schrijve is ook nie mijne sterkste kant :d

[brentleyy]

geloof me de mijne ook nie:d

[zonnebanke]

gij toevallig van dit nummer, de akkoorden? want geeft toe dees is toch wel een knap stukske piano e :) en ik vind het voos dat ik alleen maar het begin kan en volledig het midden stuk nie :)

[brentleyy]

nee ,

ben voor moment nog bezig met een paar andere liedjes maar deze staat ook op mn lijstje

[zonnebanke]

ok,

moest je ze hebben voor mij, laat het me dan weten :)

e ja als je toevallig ook nummers van clouseau op je lijstje staan hebt, mag je dat ook altijd laten weten :) of zo een flimpje maken als da thama lied van flikken of vivo per lei... daarvan kan je perfect na spelen en het wat personaliseren! waarvoor dank natuurlijk :)

grtz,

tom

[brentleyy]

ben nu bezig aan DAAR GAAT ZE en DAT ZE DE MOOISTE IS van clouseau dus ...

grtz

[zonnebanke]

ooo prachtig, vooral da laatste is een mooi staaltje muziek :)

daar gaat ze is dan weer den klassieker :D

let me know if youre ready.

kga ook eens beginnen mijn gehoor laten werken ondertussen

:)

[Istandbyme]

My boyfriend says this song is "me to a T". I have to agree it is a bit like me. Fickle.

[LeNamiiaL]

hammermäßig geil...

ich will die nooten .... ich find se aber nirgens :((

aber echt mal compliment... hammergeil wie du spielen kannst :D

[greatsuperbigboss]

Hallo, Carsten Gerlitz: pop ballads 1

amazon oder clavio

Gerlitz arrangiert immer ganz toll

[Istandbyme]

You play beautifully; cute too!

[blackratsnakes]

Thanks for both compliments :)

[Oronuts]

did you play it out of your mind??

[baasjedave]

Yeah I also wanna play it now

[Mr0White]

This video makes me wanna learn to play the piano!

[JuneBugPins]

Love this. What a great job you did playing such a beautiful song~ Thank you!

[souldeep91]

did you work so hard for this play that your hands are hurt now???

you've done well *THUMBS UP* ;)

[simaglei]

great song, gread job!

[RocMonsterEnergy]

wicked

[SpeedyWRC307]

Da fällt mir gerade noch ein: Wundert mich, dass es kein Steinway ist, auf dem du spielst! Der wäre ja langsam mal nötig, bei dem Talent ;)

[blackratsnakes]

I think Steinways cost much more than Yamahas and come from Germany originally right? They are probably a better piano overall and I'd love to own one. I am happy though with the Yamaha for now. Thanks for your kind words.

[SpeedyWRC307]

Wow... nicht schlecht!!! Hast du frei gespielt oder nach Noten? Wenn du nach Noten gespielt hast, hast du sie zufällig auf dem PC? Ich würde das so gerne mal spielen, aber ich will mich nicht extra deswegen die Noten kaufen -.-

gruß Speedy

[blackratsnakes]

I played this one strictly from ear - listening to the song and playing along. I rarely see sheet music that doesn't include the melody in the right hand which I hate using so therefore I usually just learn it from the song if I can. Some songs are more difficult so I start with the sheet music but always use the song as much as possible. Speedy says "hi".

[keuleule]

wirklich beeindruckend :-)

[blackratsnakes]

Thank you :)

[Greenaxle]

Superb!!would be great if u could post a tutorial for this... please!

[munichdd]

You are amazing!

2day you brightened my day with your video.

Thanx

[blackratsnakes]

bitteschön. Glad you enjoyed it.

[LeNamiiaL]

whooooooooow

GEIL=)

*ich wills auch können*

[blackratsnakes]

Es ist ein fantastisches Lied! Du kannst es shaffen.

Herr Nimmerfroh :)

[pandoiki]

Where to get the piano sheet music for this song?! I've searched online and came across the same piano/vocal sheet music for Jessie offered by different online sheet music stores, but it didn't sound anything like this. Anybody got an idea where to get this version of the piano sheet music? Many thanks if you know where.

[blackratsnakes]

musicnotes d o t c o m seems to have a version. Just search for Joshua Kadison and it will come up.

[oceanchild13]

who is this song about?

and by the way, i love the way you play this.

[blackratsnakes]

I believe it was about his girlfriend at the time Sarah Jessica Parker. And thanks for the compliment.

[hansjr3]

you're great man:O!

i dont know how much fan's you have. but i'm your now:D!

[blackratsnakes]

Thank you! Watching some videos of Joshua play this live also helped a little bit.

[sgirwan]

Wonderful!! Where did you get the notes or did you learn it by yourself?? Great stuff anyway!!!

Cheers!

[blackratsnakes]

This one was all me. Most times I use both the sheet music and song but this one worked out well just by ear. Thank you :)

[winterschlafer]

Thnx!! I can sing perfectly on this pianosong. I'll post it as video response...thnx!!

[ko3kie]

Wow, it's a sheer pleasure watching you play.

Very nice!

[leauk]

Wonderful.

[fluffypechey]

Excellent piano playing, I love that song.

Thank you for posting this vid.

Regards.

[blackratsnakes]

Thanks, I also like watching the live version of this that Joshua plays.

[Blackman991]

great... skill level: insane?? maybe the the best player ive ever seen....

[Oasissixteen]

What a nice player!!! very nice song!

[DyCoSprouseLA]

WOW

he´s a really great piano player

best wishes

Cole

[derfiggahochdrei]

oha sehr gut!

very very good!

[blackratsnakes]

danke schön

thank you :)

[dagochen]

where do i get the notes?

[blackratsnakes]

For this one I didn't use any sheet music, only the song. So I'm sure it's not 100% accurate.

[ThePoliglota]

If one day I succeeded to play 10% of what you know to play , I would be very happy, I love this song... compliments.

[blackratsnakes]

Thank you! Just practice until your fingers are numb, you can play anything.

[IKimendo]

Very well!

[FickdichduBastart187]

yeahhhhhhhhhhh partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kyl293]

very good!!

though the "passion" at the beginning collapsed during the song

[tscondor]

very very good!

[Silver26J]

Great job, really appreciate that you don't play the melody line, I hate it when Pianists tap each note of the vocal line in the song, it ruins it..

[blackratsnakes]

I'm with you all the way on that comment.

[futuredata]

Uh, Wow!! I have 2 say...I myself am a piano player (started taking lessons when I was 6 or 7, went 2 the Univ. of Miami School of Music for a yr. & a half, played keyboard in a couple of bands) & u have blown me away w/this! And seriously, I mean, who cares about the wrist braces when talent like this shines through!! :-) Amazing! I haven't played my keyboard in awhile, but seeing u play this song makes me miss it. & u figured this out by ear & alittle video watching?? Again, Wow!!

[blackratsnakes]

Thanks for all those comments. I don't play all songs just by ear but this one I did.  I actually like to sing along to this one too because his voice is not very high so it's manageable. I hope you whip out the keyboard and get back into it, even post some videos if you can. Thanks again.

[bruudmitch]

yeah plz make a tutorial it is really nice

i wanna learn it you play it so well

keep giong and plz make a turorial (A)

[marjonnniee]

omg it's so beautiful! Could you or someone make a tutorial or something????

[mclauc1999]

[rotje333]

This is soo good! Respect!

[broabander]

haha check that braces!

[elbueno12]

Wow, amazing dude! :)

[blackratsnakes]

Thank you!

[Liisaajeweettoch]

Hi,

This is really awesome, I want to learn this number to. Do you have a sheet for me, I can't find it on the internet.

Xx..

[blackratsnakes]

Hey I didn't use the sheet music for this one, all ear and a little bit of video.

[maicha92]

what have you done with your hands?

[qwertzyz]

vau, pekne

[blachi1985]

you are the best

[CaptainDepp63]

only one word: WOW

[thebestyouvegot89]

Thank you for this real good example. This is my own "ziel" to do it like this.

[blackratsnakes]

My pleasure. I know it's a little boring without the lyrics but maybe people will sing along.

[homerboy488]

wow. Real nice!

[10milesfromnowhere]

great version! 5 stars ;) (reminds me I have to re-do my own....eeks!)

[angiesmiles]

I LOVE THIS SONG! Thanks. This is awesome :)
