Contact - Title Theme - Alan Silvestri - Carl Sagan - Piano Cover

[Standard420247]

any chance you could make another video playing this again at the normal tempo with just plain old piano sound, or perhaps try it with a harpsichord

My ears are bleeding... why did you use that horrible instrument selection...

@stromboldt - Thanks for viewing! I'm really sorry that you did not enjoy my interpretation of this beautiful & haunting theme song. Warm Weekend Wishes from UK to the USA:) - Denise

I'm Mexican. People like you keep this site in a great level.

Congratulations, and what a great keyboard.

I take it, Miss Hewitt, that you're a Sagan fan, or is it just his choice of background music. His selections do seem very appropriate to his videos. The "Contact Main Theme" (I want to call it "Ellie's Theme," as it mostly seems to occur during her personal moments. I was a bit surprised at your sound at first, but came to enjoy it very much. It almost seemed more haunting than the original. Nice work. Dave F.

allright, i don't really like the sound but ather wis .. it really sound like in a movie .

but if you close your eyes ,you wound't say it is a piano playing.but it's still beautifull .

just my opinion you know ;)

Ich vermute, Sie sind wahre Wolf! Ich habe Mitleid mit dir! Denise

[Manospetrucci]

My opinion is that you should use just

Piano... and I want to be honest with you,

add some feeling not just reading the notes...

[MissDeniseHewitt]

Excellent Idea! Maybe I should record a version for solo piano, with some passion:) Warmest Wishes - Denise

[Saeon]

nice! im surprised i cant find any other videos of people playing this song...such an amazing score done by alan silvestri

FWIW, read the book Contact- it turns out rather differently than the movie.

[MissDeniseHewitt]

Thanks for viewing and for the info! I'll definitely read the book now, and of course I adored Carl Sagan's epic series on the Cosmos, as well as the Vangelis soundtrack - Heaven & Hell - used as the brilliant opening theme:) Best Wishes - Denise

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

I also suggest "Billions and Billions", "Demon Haunted World - Science As a Candle in the Dark" and "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors".

Also check out our "Pale Blue Dot" video and "Human Conceit, Dominionism".

"Think like a vegan."
