Good job, but actually this piece is called Hands of Time. ;)

You are the second person to have told me that...I've been playing this song for years and years and I never knew it had a proper title like that :P Mainly because the book I have has it simply titled Brian's Song. Still...I find it rather amusing

[blazerr]

Actually, it's called "The Hands of Time," and you should give credit to the composer, Michel Legrand (lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman)

The Michel Legrand book i have simply has it titled Brian's Song...with no lyrics

very nice!!! Brian would have loved it!! (Although I am sure he would have to wonder why there was a song connected to him)

[RyanPLion]

Yep, very funny. The movie is about a football player named Brian Piccolo, who helped break racial barriers, during a time when racism in this country was very strong. The sad thing is that later in his career, he gets cancer and dies. It's a great movie, I highly suggest it (but get the old one with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams, especialy if you like this song)

Seen the movie 30 plus times and equally moved with each. I too can play this on the piano and the melody alone inclined me to name my son, Brian. WIth that said, every time I hear this beautiful song not only do I think of the heart warming story of Brian Piccolo, but, I bring my wonderful son, Brian to mind.

I love to listen to the piano being played, it is my favorite instrument to listen to. You have a great style and you play this with great sensitivity. I thik this is one of the all time greatest inspirational songs ever written.

I'm not a keyboardist but I liked the feeling in your execution. The lyrics to "The Hands of Time" are heart-rending. "If the hands of time/Were hands that I could hold/I'd keep them warm and in my hands/They'd not grow cold." Michel Legrand really hit one out of the park with this opus. Many thanks for putting this up. The song brings back a lot of memories from what seems now like a kindlier, a better time. Down the arches of the years the music reaches me. Thanks again.
