To clarify for people who aren't super familiar with what is and isn't complicated on the piano, most of the notes he plays aren't *really* individual notes. They are arpeggios, single chords broken up into individual notes, and with a little technical practice, it isn't actually *that* complex. It's all just 1 chord. But longer and bigger...

i mean, jazz alone tells a dark story. it was formed by black men and women going through difficult times, the horrors of slavery and discrimination. so in a way, even if it is jazz, it's still dark. its a kind of facade.

I like watching this because it makes me feel like I can relate more when I am trying to write a song as opposed to when I watch someone's already a perfectly written song. Even the musicians you look up to have a process!

It`s truth man, it`s really becomes more and more dark every birthday - every year nearer to death & getting older, and every year you contemplate about it

You know Charles' acting is on point when he can make you believe he's a 7-year-old child without even doing anything

This isn't dark at all. If someone sang Happy birthday like this I would legit cry. Such a beautiful arrangement

Starts off dark and ominous, switches to some sort of jazz-variation and goes back to dark and ominous. I like it.

Please, please correct me if I’m wrong and he’s done it already, but if I’m not: Please put this on Spotify.

This is literally just: "I have to keep the original melody so I'm gonna do 50 key changes and have nice-sounding resolutions in order to make it sound onimous enough."

I've seen too many "sad" versions of songs where they just make the whole thing minor, so thanks for actually putting in effort. So much better this way

I play the piano as my main instrument and you are a really big idol of mine. I feel kind of slow at piano because I feel that everything I learn has just stopped and I am getting nowhere in piano, I strive to be like you! Also, you are one of the coolest pianists I have met. You win that title, my man. (I feel way to sappy for a video about rewriting the Happy Birthday Song to sound like it should be playing at my sister's funeral.)

It's always amazing watching people who are so in tune with their instrument improvise like this.

Charles: "Let's make a sad version of happy birthday." Me: "Oh this is easy I can do that, too!" Charles:"... but we can't just make it minor..." Me: "Ok Mr tone wizard, how is this supposed to happen then" Charles: "Does it anyway" Me: *suprised pikachu face*
