Not While I'm Around - Song From Sweeney Todd Movie

[TSellars12]

If you don't have sheet music would it be possible for you to post a how to? I really like this version and its much better than most videos on youtube now

[damdelohre]

@TSellars12 Thanks for your kind words. But currently I have no time to do a "how to" video... :/

[rOcKcHiCk1062]

N'aw, lovely

[kcraww10]

Sorry To Be Annoying.. But, Any Sheet Music? :)

[damdelohre]

@kcraww10 Nope, have none.

[kcraww10]

[YouGandered101]

At's actually ma'am not mum...

[armlessfapper]

Love it bravo

[littlemissjaded12345]

Braaavo Braaavo! That was very well done indeed!

Excellent! Loved it! 8-)

[111Cero]

Huh.. No dislikes? Well i guess no one got harmed since Toby was around ^^D

[JdeppHatter17]

May I use this as a background track if I credit you in the video please?? :) its really a beautiful cover and super easy to sing with :D

[damdelohre]

@JdeppHatter17 Yes. You're welcome.

[MissxxMelissaxx]

Please do a tutorial on this (A) !!! It would help me so much to learn this... Its like impossible to watch and learn ... please :D :D :D

[TheEmilySnape]

This is literally amazing. I wish my keyboard sounded like that. I can't wait until I can get a real piano. If you can't do a tutorial, perhaps a different angle with better lighting? I can at least figure it out just by watching and by ear.

[MrMmmOreos]

Is that the sheet music from the sweeney Todd piano music book??

[damdelohre]

@MrMmmOreos It's not.

[MrMmmOreos]

@damdelohre oki. U should rly make sheet music for it.

[RachChill12]

this is awsome!

are youu think of doing a viedo of youu teaching people how to play it? O.o

i would love to learn it! :)

[damdelohre]

@RachChill12 Unfortunately, I have no free time to do it...

[Gamez4Review]

hey hey hey:D WE HAVE THE SAME KEYBOARD:D Great job playing this.)

[KukaHollywood]

BRAVO!! :D

[TheMidnitePoet]

Pretty cool! Bravo!!!

Honestly I preffer jamie cullum's

[rammy16]

[sexybethizit09]

wow could you do a tutorial or maybe just give me the notes for the right hand , im only a bigginer , thannks your awesome xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[veerle3ssen]

Oh, it is really beautiful! I want to play the piano too!!! :D

[reyreaper23]

I love your style!

[StrawberryWire]

Incredible <3

[smofam4]

For the love of God if you find sheet music, attach it to this. PLEASE! I HAVE TO LEARN THIS!!!

[hehetata3]

Oh, wow. that was trulyyyy beautiful. haha i cried a little bit=) your fingers practically fly over the keys, they look so graceful, and the music is breathtaking. job well done=)

[GuitarMemoriesLea]

Wow, echt großes Kompliment,du spielst wunderschön.

Hab dich mal abonniert. :))

[damdelohre]

Danke zehr :) enjoy :)

[MeMeGreen]

you played that beautifully!!

[rhysrichardson100]

Amazing!!!

[spottedzebra2]

Wow, that was beautiful. Did you get the music by ear or by sheet music? I'm trying to learn to play it on the guitar sense it's all I know (Guitar) but it's not really ment for that.

[damdelohre]

thank you :) i did that by ear. in fact, you're right - the guitar isn't the best instrument to play that piece on.

[spottedzebra2]

Well, that's simply amazing.

I think I'm a bit jealous.

It's too bad, really, about the guitar. It could sound beautiful.

[memeemoo]

I would tell you how beautiful that is, but you already know.

It actually brought tears to my eyes (Im blinking them away), just because it was amazing and the song is sweet and sad itself.

[Ritchieva96]

I have that keyboard to:) IT ROCKS!

[ritieeesie]

me too and we have the same name

[alanshore17]

Do you know how to transpose that keyboard down a few half notes? I have the same but I can't figure the darn thing out! I'd really appreciate any suggestions..

[damdelohre]

First press "FUNCTION" button (on the left), then select "Transpose" option from menu - just press upper arrow twice (arrow buttons are on the right, below round black knob/wheel). When "Transpose" option is selected, decrese or increase halftones using that black knob - turn it left or right.

[littlefoxx25]

beautiful, amazing =) I've wanted to sing this song for a while and here's the instrumental!

[Apenijn]

Uploaded my respond! i'll mal you quickly when I uploaded the lower version from your turtorial. Many thanks ^.^ and keep up the good work!!

[lisa4630]

The key you played this in is perfect for my voice! What is it? So I can tell my voice teacher.

[Nostradamus86]

Nicely done! :)

But I suggest you buy a keyboard with no speakers.

[gondegoogoo]

beautiful! I really enjoyed it! The fact that you played it by ear makes the experience all the more enjoying:D A really awesome piece of arrangement:D

[damdelohre]

Thank you :)

[montinim]

So enchanting! 5 stars!

Great job!

[damdelohre]

I'm glad you like it :)

[Apenijn]

I'm screaming, begging for a tutorial!!

Your playing is awsome, awsome awsome, you did a wonderful job! I'd love to guide myself on the piano while singing... I'd love to... could you? would you? *blink blink*

[SweeneyTodd98]

Its good but i got a question,where did u get the shhet music from?I have the sheet music to the Broadway version and its different

[damdelohre]

As you can see, I have no sheet music. It's my interpretation - I play it by ear...

[SweeneyTodd98]

O sorry lol.i hear ppl play it the same way though

[ritieeesie]

I've got the same keyboard. Yamaha rocks

[Jaynester789]

this song is almost enchanting :-) thanks for posting this your very talented

[LaurenBrookeMusic]

Amazing, and you did it by ear! Awesome! I'm learning it from the Broadway Sweeney Todd Sheet Music Book. I also have the same piano as you! Is there any certain setting you have it on in this video cause it sounds better.

[damdelohre]

Thanks :) Besides that I transposed the piano 3 halftones down, there is no other special setting...

[imlittlealbert]

hy where did you get the sheet music ! i´ve been looking for that on internet but i don´t find it ! please can you send me the link ?

[damdelohre]

Unfortunatelly, I don't have any sheet music... I played it by ear... But I've seen some of your videos and I think that with your skills You can also easily play it by ear :)

[blackberri64]

wow that sounds great! =D

[drhaywood]

I don't care what you say, it was awesome =P

It's my favourite song from Sweeney Todd too.

[MissPeaky]

WOW! What a fantastic professional keyboard you have there! Most I've seen don't sound like a proper piano like yours does. It looks really cool!

I love your version of "Not While I'm around from Sweeney Todd too.! Keep up the good work! :)

[HorrificHollie]

Its beautiful but i would have liked it in a lower key for singing xD

[marley0my0dog]

*mouth drops open* *eye twitches* (scream) I LOVED THAT!!! I write plays if you could play some music id love to, be HONORED to have you play the piano on it!

[HarryPotterTrio91]

Can you make a tuteral? I cant read Music and would LOVE to learn this song.I can already play well by ear but cant really make out the keys that you are pressing. It would mean alot. BTW...your great!!!

[clayton640]

One of the few good covers of this song ;)

maybe it helps that its good quality

YEAH

[BellaAKABones]

Beautifully played, you're too hard on yourself, quit putting yourself down. I thought it was great, my only problem was a mistake in the lyrics. It's "Ma'am" not "Mum". But your playing was perfect.

[damdelohre]

You're very kind :) Of course You're right as to lyrics, but it's not possible to change it right now...

[eillaisinsane]

actually yeah! i have!!

well haha

define "much"

xD

and I consider you a "real one" xD

[eillaisinsane]

your amazing... wow (:

this is the best piano playing I've seen on youtube ever...

and sweeney todd= best movie and music ever!!

<33

[damdelohre]

So You probably haven't seen much... have You? ;)

There are hundreds of players really much better than I am... I'm not even a real one ;) Enyway, thanks for listening :) I'm glad You like it :)

[EmilyQuarto]

beautiful @__@

[damdelohre]

thanks :)

but don't you think the tempo is to fast? :)

[EmilyQuarto]

I like it this way :) 5 stars and also saved in my favourites

[SweeneyTodd98]

Wow.I don't think I would be able to play that even with 15 years of my piano lessons

[damdelohre]

well, it's not so hard to play it... - try to listen to some small part few times and repeat the same on your piano... (first only right, then both hands) that's the way i did.

[SweeneyTodd98]

Well I'm only 10 and my lessons aren't very good so even with little parts I still won't be that good since I havn't been playing piano for a while.I might try though

[damdelohre]

My advice - listen to the music again and again until you remember only the first part of the leading voice (what right hand plays). Then imagine the part which you have remembered (just play it in your head). Then try playing it on piano, it shouldn't be hard... (and do not resign after one failure).

[SweeneyTodd98]

Ok.I'll try next time I take out my keyboard

[louloudenia]

wow!

[TAYLER49]

What Typ Of Keybord it that???

[damdelohre]

It's Yamaha DGX 620.

[ForeverLenore]

620?

i thought it only went to 550.

lol.......yamaha....

[muneliteknight]

are the keys weighted?!

great job btw! 5/5

[damdelohre]

Yes, they are. Thanks :)

[soccerstar5930]

Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.

[JAIMELEMUSIC]

wonderful. just beautiful. i'll now look through the internet for hours trying to find the sheet music for this. great job

[Animalfreakz]

I can mail them to you if you would like ;). Just send me a message.

[JAIMELEMUSIC]

[DanaLovett]

[lozer13]

[minibrit]

Go Brit's =D

[SkaterDudette222]

[damdelohre]

i did not. it's british spelling.

[Johnny123456789x]

I wish you had added Mrs. Lovett's spooky reprise...

[LovelyLovelySpring]

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JChorserider]

that was amazin really pretty

[PirateSisters]

beautiful! :D love it! can you do a video that shows how to play it? or play it very slowly so I could learn? :)

[damdelohre]

I've made slow version specially for You - it's in my profile. I hope it helps. Let me know, when your version is available - I'd like to see it :)

[poophole24]

very nice.... it was a little too up tempo... but very nice especially when you went in the more faster part towards the end of the song

[LovelyLovelySpring]

great! love that song!

Xxx

[pokemonfangirl3]

i cant play piano i want to play like that

[damdelohre]

Just buy a piano, take some music lessons and start exercising! :) Do it :)

[Free411]

ya! :):) :)

[22okaba]

The sounds are excellenteEE! AWESOME!

[damdelohre]

Thanx :) Greetings to Philippines :)

[erinpotter7731]

wow !!

i see you have no music

did you memorize the notes ?

it was great

i realized i really cant sing this song without the accompanyment of "Tobias"

but it was fun !

[damdelohre]

Not every note must be memorized... But indeed I played it by ear. It's important to remember the leading-voice melody and general harmony of the song (which is not so hard, when the song is "self-rememberable" like this one;)

Then, when playing, I imagine the chord which should be next and I play it - and that way the music goes on... :)

[damdelohre]

Tell me, which part is the part of "Tobias", as You say...? What's the lyrics in that part? I didn't notice that, but i could skip some... :)

[Rem10124]

How sweet ^^

I was even able to sing with it too :D

I've learned by listening by ear too by the way.

[damdelohre]

I'm pleased that You like it :) Unfortunately I played it a bit too fast...

[slychick199]

You made a beautiful cover I love it!. I'm trying to learn to play by ear as well. I have most of the main trebile parts but I can't seem to get the right bass parts. Any pointers? Sweeney Todd is Awesome btw :D

[damdelohre]

Thank you :)

Some advice..? Play the film step by step. After each chord or sequence, pause the film, remember and imagine the chord which you heard and try to find it and play the same. You must know I retuned my piano a few halftones down. I'd like to see You playing this :)

[damdelohre]

thank you :)

[shadeslayer25]

That is absolutely awesome!!!! I wish I could play things just by ear.

[NarcissaLovett]

that is so good! i wish i could play like that! and you did it by ear! that excellent!

[kylielacy]

hey i'm interested in buying a piano, can anyone tell me where i can find one like this and about how much it will cost?

thanks

[girzchi]

would you mind puting up a video showing how to play this....or sending me the sheet music?

[damdelohre]

Unfortunately I don't have sheet music... I played it by ear.

[girzchi]

but do you think you could do a tutorial on how to play? i love this song and would love to learn it...maybe just just the words to it???

[rainbowmarshmellow]

Pretty good

=)
