The Lion King - King of Pride Rock (piano cover)

Yes I know, it's been a while since my last vid XD. After my last video, I got super busy with both school and work so I didn't have as much time for my keyboard. I felt bad neglecting it and promised I would get something down once the break started, and that was my plan! It just took a while after my break started cause I was doing other stuff like hanging with my cousins, friends, christmas, etc. My cousin really liked the 98 Degrees video I made for her and her now husband and actually asked me to play it at their wedding reception, which I did. I made a recording of that but i dunno if I'll put the video up for that tho..

Anyways, I always liked the Hans Zimmer score for The Lion King. It felt very emotional and powerful, to the point where I found the actual score more memorable than the songs themselves. The songs were still good, but I just loved the score a lot more. This piece is my favorite one in the movie, because it starts out all somber, then it switches to more hopeful, then finally very joyous at the end. It expressed a lot of what i was feeling during the last few weeks of the semester cause I was all ":(" while doing the final projects and hw, and studying for the final, taking the final, then getting the grade weeks later and going "BAM! take that RF Electronic Circuits! XD"

Of course the new semester will begin soon and the whole process will prolly repeat itself over...lol XD

But anyways, getting back to topic, this arrangement is heavily inspired by Kyle Landry's version of the song. Since there was only a basic sheet for it and not the super-awesome version he most likely made up on the spot, I did what I can. A lot of parts are very similar to his version but prolly not exact to how he did it, but I liked how it came out either way.

Enjoy. Hopefully the next video won't take as long :D
