@MrJoefriend I just tried to figure out the chord progression myself, I don't have it quite right, I don't have all of Bruce's passing chords and such, but it seems to be: verse: Dm Dm/E F, F Am G, G/E F Am G F(?) C Dm Chorus: Dm, F G, F G, C Dm. That's rough, and not near right, but it's a starting point
This is SO much more emotionally evocative than the original version by the same Artist. If only I could find an audio recording of this. I adore it, short as it may be.
My mom died about a week or so before this movie came out... I went to see it to maybe make me feel better because I love Robin Williams...and when I heard this song I was bawling like a baby when I heard this song...truly bueatiful
It's funny how a song that does absolutely nothing for me and a song that I actually think is a piece of shit can come to be something completely different when played differently.
'I used to think feeling lonely was the worst feeling you could have in life, but its not. The worst thing in life is being surrounded by people that make you feel lonely' - one of the best lines from the movie.
This song is a nearly perfect rendition of this classic. It's not available as an MP3 download separately from the entire MP3 album. Fortunately, it's based on a version from the collaborative album Bruce Hornsby & Ricky Skaggs. It's a great full-length version available for download by itself. Plus, thumbs up to an hilarious, smart, sad movie. "World's Greatest Dad" is worth watching in its entirety.
Gorgeous version of this song, and what a wonderful, wonderful film. It manages to be so smart, funny, dark and moving. What a feat! And Robin Williams has never been better.
Wow, just watched this amazing movie, very sad but also hilarious and extremely meaningful in its entirety, the director is a genius as well as Robin Williams who fantastically portrayed his role, but this scene, it will always stay within me, Bruce Hornsby's beautiful melancholic song is more than words can explain.
"The worst thing in life is ending up with people that make you feel all alone" I will always hold that to my heart after hearing those words, awesome movie.
And I don't know why this movie's genre is comedy, it's a sad movie, but it's one of the best movies I've ever seen and the songs are picked so well =]
Go to Itunes and type in "World Greatest Dad" you'll see the album with all the soundtracks. Though I'm not going to spend 9 euros on it... I can download every song in this movie for free, except this version of Mandolin Rain!
I found a very similar version to this by Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby on an album called "Playlist:the very best of Bruce Horsby". It got extra bluegrass banjo on as well and it's excellent.
I like this style of the song way better than his original, the lower key, slower tempo, and different variation of the notes give the words so much more meaning.
Does anyone know if he does the whole song like this on the sound track, or if its just this little segment? If it's the whole song, I'll buy the soundtrack. This version is too good.
When I first started to watch this movie I wasn't sure I would like it much. I LOVE Robin Williams.....but this movie was sooooo sad. When I heard this version of the song start to play I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I would LOVE this version by Bruce Hornsby....anyone know how to get it?????
For everyone that wants to hear the whole version, go on Ricky Skaggs myspace. It's not exactly the same, but very similar. I'd link to it, but youtube is retarded.
For everyone that wants to hear the whole version, you can listen to it free here: m y s p a c e .c o m / r i c k y s k a g g s It's not exactly the same, but very similar.
Does Bruce Hornsby have any acoustic albums? cause i got a greatest hits thingy! and was nothing compared to the this! this is beautiful id love a full album of this.
man i love this version to bad its only in the ost (official soundtrack) of "worlds greatest dad" ... and the cd only has like 3 good songs ... the rest are like 30 sec... for $10 bunch of crap .
@Deetmonster I'll have to go buy this. I was very amazed by it and very amazed by the music singing the facts of what we go through. I kept putting it off renting this movie and then finally.. I watched, cried, laughed and seen how 2 faced people can be. I remmeber my first funeral of a little 4 year old when I was only 9 and I'll never forget it; my brother at 28; killed or suicide. No one knows. Sad, true.
@planetdarwin I don't know about that. My husb Darwin takes all this in so yes, it is mentioned amon those of 50, 60 and 70 year old even now. I get emails all the time about darwin's theory so yes, i believe it's still in there.
Man i just got thru watching this movie and although the movie was good, this song really stood out. This version is amazing and if someone can tell me where I can get it, please let me know...
Yeah, I just listened to the original and I like this one WAY more. He sings it with more soul, and the piano sounds beautiful with it, and it has a much sadder tone which is appropriate to the lyrics and the scene in the movie.
This was great to see, Its awesome how Robin Williams is a fan of great artist like Bruce Hornsby and Genesis, I think they get overlooked by alot of people especially Bruce, he's just so talented but most people nowdays overlook him, well maybe his apperence in this movie will open peoples eyes
@ddvdrummer91 as soon as i saw this clip in the movie i went to youtube and typed in Bruce Hornsby, and after listening to most of his songs i have came to the conclusion that he has skills on the piano
even though that movie realy bizaar... like it... Robbin Williams is a great actor and that song rock's ass!!!
