"New Beginnings" (Build 1) from The Sims, so far

I used to be able to play this one from The Sims all the way to the end (all 10 pages), but I started learning Build 3 and the styles were just too different to keep up with both. Now that I can get through Build 3, I've decided to come back to Build 1 and focus on keeping the tempo steady. It's really easy to go way too fast on the high notes.

This song really needs an 88 key, so I've had to octave down/up some of the really high and low stuff.

The audio went straight into the computer, so please excuse any sync issues.

i would like to say " Good job, man " just because you play an epic song from an epic game with epic soundtracks...BUT, i dont really like it.

u play too fast, too "mechanical"... like a robot you know.

and i dont feel the "soul" of this song.

youre not playing drums, u're playing a PIANO, and you must make me feel something special . and i dont really feel it.

so, in my opinion, u got nice "hand skills", but no heart :-)

by the way, keep goin' on and good luck :-)

@Simysving No heart?! :) Thanks for the advice. It's definitely mechanical, but not all my fault: my keyboard doesn't do touch sensitivity very well, so I really have technical problems getting the dynamics across. I do have a more recent version of this that's better, but I need to find some time to convert and upload it.

isn't it somewhat a little tougher to play standing up? jw

[PixelatorOfTime]

@warsilver99 Not after years of playing this way... Now it's harder for me to sit down. I like having a better vantage point over the keys.

You are brilliant! You so have to do more... This is amazing!

[PixelatorOfTime]

See the description. I used to be able to play all 10 pages of this, but Build #3 is very different, and I couldn't keep both in my memory at the same time. I'm working on getting it back, so look for future updates. Thanks for the kind words.

Almost there, not bad. These songs make me wish I learned how to play piano.

@cheezebs I play BETTER when sitting down.
