One Tin Soldier

[JBroxsMyCanadianSock]

This is wonderful!

[BAMBAM8993]

@JBroxsMyCanadianSock Thanks

[KeepPushingTheButton]

One Tin Soldier is one of the best songs I have ever heard and you played it very well.

May I ask you for the music sheet you used?

[BAMBAM8993]

I played it by ear

[DontEncourageHim]

Nice! Thank you!

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks for watching

[greenleaves7172]

This song and the way you play it is amazing. One Tin Soldier was a big part of my childhood; my class and i would always sing this in every rememberance day ceremony and almost every day in between along with many other rememberance day songs.

[BAMBAM8993]

thank you very much

[cyristchinia]

Such a powerful song, even though it was written a while ago. Definitely applies to today, which is kind of sad. But it is beautiful and well played. Thank you for uploading this.

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks

[moonshinerman]

Brian, great job, not perfect on the piano but that made it so much better, the feeling was in there, very electric. I can relate to this song for sure because I am so fed up with everyones lies as I am seeking a job now and I am tired of hearing the false promises. I felt renewed after listening to your rendition. Thanks for posting it and I wish you well.

Thank you for watching

[olddudefart]

its good but......how come you dont have the ppl singin it? srry man but only 3 star...... great song... god bless =)

[BAMBAM8993]

because it was a piano prelude? Something that is played before an service or an event. It was also a meditation from my heart and soul. It is a shame that people have to hear singing to make a song worwhile. Thanks for watching anyway. . . . .

[ashleyamanda7]

[BAMBAM8993]

Thank you very much! Peace

[XxXem0MeXxX]

no problem thank YOU for posting it^^

[itsacritter]

this is a beautiful arrangement. I think its great that you took a song you really cared about and adapted it for the piano. Not many people have that amount of feeling for a single song. Or the will power and stamina to transpose it to the piano.

[BAMBAM8993]

Thank you, thank you very much. The song meant a lot to me growing up.

[MICKSS350]

There were two songs during the Viet Nam war that angered and saddened me, "One Tin Soldier" by Coven and "War" by Edwin Starr and once again I`m angered and saddened by another war....again.

A very nice version BAMBAM8993.

[BAMBAM8993]

Thank you very much for watching. Peace

[stupidchick652]

i love this song it makes me cry.... i dont care what it is called i love this song reminds me about lots of things... i love you all bye mhhhhmmmmmm

[BAMBAM8993]

Take Care

[LittlePianoMan494]

Is that you? thats really good! Do you have sheets o is it ear? :D Nice job man

[BAMBAM8993]

This was just an piano improv. Done by ear. Thanks for watching.

[shailamiller95]

[furrywhalesforlife1]

That was beautiful.. I was even singing along.

[BAMBAM8993]

[Excellennow]

Great rendition of a great song!!!

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks for watching!

[skigurl24]

i cry everytime i hear thiz song!!!!! i sing it every year at Camp Downer!! i love all the people and counslers there! sniff sniff! u rock!!!!

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks Take Care

[luvyagurl93]

this is really good. this is my favorite song from camp mac lean. i love how u play this. can u add some words like have someone sing it while u play it? that would make it better.

thanks,

Luvyagurl93

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks for the suggestion. I think sometimes music alone can enhance more. We live in such a world with singing. Sometimes basking in just the music can have a stronger effect. Take Care.

[CJFrasher]

true...but if you're gonna go with that line then lets see your face. the two best ways to share emotion is with music and expression...very good though

[BAMBAM8993]

yeah if I was singing it. . . but I was not. I do not move around while I'm playing so it would not have mattered. Many performers just let the sound do the "talking". Some call it boring, but that's okay. . .

[CJFrasher]

watch: "Wilhelm Kempff plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata mvt. 1" watch his emotion...

[BAMBAM8993]

I am not a professional just an amatuer who likes to compose and arrange. Kempff has a great style that cannot be compied or forced. If I even attempted to play moonlight like that I'd look weird. I do understand your point, and I appreciate that style, but I am just not that kind of "performer".

[wwwgotristancom]

ha my christian camp sings this too

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks for watching!

[sickkid166]

I went to hannah lake bible camp and we would sing this song everyday at evening chaple.

[BAMBAM8993]

It's an appropriate song.

[imsocoo]

u sing it at CAMP so do we wth man who are you and do you go to palawo?

[BAMBAM8993]

I did it years (decades)ago when I was a camp counselor. I have no knowledge of palawo. . .

[webkinzcraz]

i love thius song we sing it at camp and it so awesome we all so sing last kiss

[BAMBAM8993]

thanks take care

[sharkmaster99]

this song is absolutely amazing. i remember going to camp every summer, and they played this on guitar around a campfire and we all sang. one of my favorite memories. you play this song really well. you wouldn't happen have sheet music or a downloadable mp3 version of this by any chance? i would love to learn it on piano. been playing for almost a year now and i think i could get this one down. = )

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks. Unfortunately this a improv so it is not down on paper. I do write music down occasionally, but I just have not found the time to do it. . .

[DragonThunderFury]

The first time I ever heard/snag this song I was 14 and at my first overnight camp....I remember half of us..boys and girls..were in tears by then end..myself included. I still get the urge to cry when i hear it...this is such a moving song...and it was beautifully played. I may not believe in heaven (I'm Wiccan) but everyone can believe in peace on earth. So Peace on Earth to you and everyone who might read my comment.

[BAMBAM8993]

Peace on Earth is achievable if everyone in all religions and creeds get involved. Thanks for watching.

[khanitoski]

This song is an absolutly amazing song. My friend sang it to me as we sat up in a metal rocketship at a childs park.

Peace on earth.

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks! Take Care

[penguinluvgirl]

i love that song we sang it at school it made me whole class sad.we almost cried .you playrd this amazingly!!! Have peace on this earth!!!!

[GrissomLovesSara]

[tooolnut]

Thanks for posting the lyrics: they helped me find this song from long ago, which I only had a memorable sentence from: "Peace on Earth was all it said."

[mickeylpl]

[BAMBAM8993]

[Grimace]

as a child I would ahave to say that this song was the first thing to really make me open my eyes to where the world is.

[BAMBAM8993]

so true

[StarseedChipmunk]

Like the other versions posted here, so special in its own way. Reminds me so much of grade 4 music class... well, a long, long time ago.

Thanks for sharing!

[BAMBAM8993]

take care

[spewproductions]

I sing that song at camp. IT IS SO WONDERFUL!!!!!

[BAMBAM8993]

yeah it is a neat song

[spewproductions]

i've listened to it and sang along like 10 times now.

[BAMBAM8993]

wow! I am so glad you liked it!

[kelliagnich]

unbelievable.

do you take requests? there are so many songs from my old youth group days that I would love to revisit with a simple, beautiful piano accompaniment...

[BAMBAM8993]

thanks. it depends on what song exactly and whether or not I can remember it. . .

[kelliagnich]

hmmm.how to choose? :)

Sanctuary

Here I Am Lord

On Eagles Wings, etc...

[BAMBAM8993]

we'll see i know those but they were not from days of youth i'll try here i am, i don't like sanctuary and on eagles wings has a real personal connection i am not ready to tackle

[kelliagnich]

no worries! I completely understand

[BAMBAM8993]

I'll PM ya if I put something together.

[CagedSongBird]

That was absolutely amazing! Brilliant! Bravo! Excellent! It gave me chills. That song has always had a special meaning for me as well. I wish we could have been able to watch all of you as you played. That's okay though. It was still excellent. :)

Sending love & smiles from afar!

(((Hugs))) to you & the Mrs...

Paula

[BAMBAM8993]

It was a song that shaped me for who I am. Thanks!

[edwining]

the chorus seems off.

[BAMBAM8993]

Since I was playing octaves, it was a bit difficult to get the rythmn correct. Thanks for the comments

[buglady58]

that was absolutely wonderful. i have loved that song from the first time i ever heard it. thank you for sharing ;)

[BAMBAM8993]

Thank you for the comment! I really appreciate it! Peace Out!

[Joan3424]

I am going to hire you to play at my funeral. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the house.

Joanie :-)

[BAMBAM8993]

*chuckle* Maybe at a birthday party first. Remember, I'm not that accomplished. Megan is more of the player than I.

[Joan3424]

I've always loved that song!! And, you did it poetic justice! Just beautiful!

Joanie

[BAMBAM8993]

Thanks. I was singing it in my head while I was playing.

[justherewatching]

music and words are beautiful. i love it. thanks brian.  mary

[BAMBAM8993]

Take Care Mary!

[BAMBAM8993]

What so sad about it for me is the truth that is behind. Take Care.

[Summer9293]

You know that I always loved this song. I often thought that you didn't like it because you always made fun of it whenever I mentioned it. Now, I know why that was the case. It always made me cry too!! You did an excellent job with it. :-)

[BAMBAM8993]

yeah I have a tendency to dislike songs that touch me in such a way cause you know I don't like to cry.

[Summer9293]

Um-hmm!

[dwljk]

very, very pretty melody, never heard of it before. thanks for sharing Brian!

[BAMBAM8993]

We used to sing it a lot at camp and youth group. We were a serious bunch; going to no-nuke rallies and wearing buttons about peace, love and no war. Stuff like that. Even though it was the 80's, I guess we were taught by hippies. . .

[dwljk]

you need to share some of those stories - would love to hear

[BAMBAM8993]

I don't know. They seem to be a little uneventful to me.

[dwljk]

you never know..get to talking and see what happens!

[IWalk4tnt]

We were just talking about this song last week and downloaded to my phone (aka: mp3 player). I've found myself listening to it almost every day. Thanks for sharing your rendition of it!

Sandi

[BAMBAM8993]

Hope you enjoyed it. It's message that gets lost these days. . .
