Something's gotten hold of my heart Attempt#35

Since months I was searching for a new different form for this very beautiful love song (imho one of the best ever), first performed by Gene Pitney in 1967, later together with Marc Almond. I appreciate the rather calm version of Nick Cave. also Terry Ried did a remarkable newer arrangement.
Though its not finished yet (therefore still some cardinal faults integrated; and eww the D-part is most difficult) I thought Ill post it in that state let me know what you think. I am definitely no piano player, only self-taught, and this is not my piano Im struggling with. so please dont look too closely at my fingers, lol!

@animalloverabh sorry, I haven't! I even couldn't read them lol! I just played intuitively after my guitar version, which starts with am, G, F, E, back to am or A. in the bridge there are additional C, G, dm and D. hope it helps, you will find that by listening! thanks for appreciation! ;o)

This is...stunning. Such a gorgeous song. I hadn't heard of it before; Thank you for sharing it here. **************

thanks so much Molly!! it's really a fantastic song, I feel it as a sort of true 60's evergreen, expressive, with timeless extraordinary lyrics. I "adapted" this from my guitar version, based on a simple "flamenco scaletta" which is fun to play too. always glad to see you there! ;o)

Perfect and splendidly rendered.

@frozenwhitebear thanks!

@nllleonard LOL!!! never mind, in between I'm used to misspellings of my English speaking friends and don't pore for hours over dictionaries when there is "uninished" written ;)). but in fact it's astonishing how many write "here" when they mean "hear" and vice versa! cool! ;o)

hey tobee, my dear friend! thanks heaps for your wonderful comment! (my Aussie Kait always teaches me new words, lol). I'm totally in love with that song and tried to find a new form, without that dingaling an so on. I'm so surprised to almost find no covers of it on here! and it's true: live-listeners always make me nervous, lol! just their fidgeting souls... absolute stillness is the best condition to set a sound into... ;o)

hey Rick, my wonderful buddy!! thanks so much for your very nice comment! you always spirit me up, lol! aww, hehe you're such a good musician you'd learn play piano in no time. I only did now and then, when I had access to a piano, I never owned one, it's a heavy thing. but I just got me a keyboard now. let's see... :) yeah, but these trials were spreaded over a half year, so it was fun to let it grow. and I guess next year it will be finished, haha! :)))
