Hello everybody!

Here I play one of my favorite movie themes ever. It's the theme from Powder, composed by Jerry Goldsmith. It's also known as the song 'No one like you'. I don't have sheet music because I arranged it myself by ear. I also added some synths in the background to make it sound fuller.

Hi everybody,
Here I'm playing the song 'I need to be in love' from 'The Carpenters' from the album 'There's A Kind Of Hush'. I read that the song became Karen's favorite Carpenter song.
Karen & Richard are both amazingly gifted musicians and Karen's voice was one-of-a-kind and will never be duplicated.
I hope you'll enjoy my video.

Music and Lyrics by Richard Carpenter, John Bettis and Albert Hammond

Lyrics:

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

Denk je dat het goed komt - Lenette van Dongen - by Gijs van Winkelhof (Gijspiano) gijspiano - 4,788 views - 1 year ago
Hey everybody!

Here I play a beautiful Dutch song by the singer Lenette van Dongen. The lyrics are by Ivo de Wijs and the music is by Henk Ruiter. The translation of 'Denk je dat het goed komt' is something like 'Do you think it's going to be alright'. It's a song about hope.
I arranged the music myself (the piano and the other instruments as well). I hope you'll enjoy it!
