Viva La Vida - piano

Id like to dedicate this song to an old best friend of mine, Rachel Saunders, who passed away a few years ago from an inoperable brain tumour. For some reason Coldplay always reminds me of her. Its unfortunate she cant be around today to hear their latest song Viva La Vida as Im sure she would have thought it was beautiful. She was always good with words as well, and Im sure she would be able to translate it to English for me lol. (I think it means something like live the life?)

Well Rachel although yours was short lived, you were a TRUE inspiration and an amazing friend! Im glad Ive finally found a song to dedicate in honor of your positive outlook on life, and accepting death as a part of that. Coldplay says Live the Life and you did exactly that. Youll be missed.
Love,

Your friend,
Aaron

This is so beautiful...this is such nice interpretation, the version i learned is too "rockish," i'm learning from this video!

Thanks a lot! Kemlye1 was my inspiration for this. So if you like this, you'll love his.

this is the nicest interpretation i've heard so far on youtube, and i've seen many they most suck

bravo

Thanks! That means a lot! Yeah it takes a lot of work to get the timing just right between the left and right hand, but it makes a WORLD of difference if you can! A lot of people here on youtube haven't perfected the left hand and they change up the beat so it's easier to play, but... I know what you mean... they don't sound nearly good enough.

actually the technique is pretty normal nothing special but i like the choice of notes better than other videos, there's even a video of a guy who appears to be featured on youtube, but his video sucks i didnt like his interpretation

keep it up

cheers
