All Hail the Piano

[TigerWoods]

Link to original post: All Hail the Piano



I was feeling pretty lonely today, so I decided to go hunting for good piano songs that were a bit obscure, dark, and melancholy sounding. Here's a short list of great piano songs that are stuck in my head.

EDIT: I've decided to post worthy songs that you guys post up here. Crashic has good taste in obscure piano music.


MY LIST
Come se Veramente by Giovanni Allevi:

Classy... Almost sad tone to it. One of my favorite modern Italian pianists.

Prayer OST from Shadow of the Colossus:

I was drawn to this piece after playing SOTC. Beautiful.

Mellon Collie by Smashing Pumpkins:

Moonlight Sonata, by Ludwig van Beethoven:

Yeah, its not exactly "obscure" but you can't make a melancholy piano list without this classic.

Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru: HEAR ME OUT FOR A SECOND

I'd like to say... I HATE Kingdom Hearts. Just BLEHH. This interpretation of the song is pretty sick though.

The Sunlit Earth: Shadow of the Colossus:

Good piano pieces can come from surprising places...


By the way, check out the Shadow of the Colossus OST. The soundtrack for that game is exquisite. =)

 

[Jim Morrison]

I only knew the Moonlight Sonata from these. Piano is pretty awesome though. You should try Chopin maybe, I love Raindrop Prelude

 

[TigerWoods]

I'll check it out... and take a listen! I love the versions of the songs I posted.

Is a nice orchestral piece as well.

I really like Rustle of the Spring. Great pick.

Anyone play the piano in here by the way?
