Description:
Several people suggested I do this song on my youtube comments so I checked out the movie and decided to give it a go. The first part is basically like the original. Later on I go into a stride piano solo and play a part of the melody again with stride. The damper pedal is a little squeaky. Sorry about that. I hope you dig it anyway.
Thanks for listening.

Loved the perspective on this shot, its like seeing the piano's soul
Agree!!
Ignacio Cuiral Agree!
That's such a beautiful way of putting it
Yeah, right
It is the piano's organs...the player is the soul.
this makes me wanna go cry over La La Land again...
SAME
Every time I watch this movie haha, never fails to get me
I just cried yesterday just watching the ending clip 😪
same omfg
@@moccacine i've been pushing my gf to watch the movie for a couple of years, but she won't for some reason. We watched it last night with me, and she was bawling by the end. It's just perfection
Damn, the way that he does the pedal is tooooo good. Honestly after playing the piano for 15 years, the pedal is definitely one of the hardest things to master
The sustain pedal?
@@andresmartinez3267 no the pedal on his bike
@@roryduffy5013 hahahaha
@@roryduffy5013 there can be more than the sustain pedal on a piano though, and if they're a beginner it might've not been obvious what they meant, so you're kinda mean ngl
@@andresmartinez3267 And to answer your long lasting query in light of recent events- he means the sustain pedal yes 🙌🙌
Again I apologize to everyone for the delay with the sheet music. I am awaiting on approval from the publisher which normally doesn't take this long. Thanks for your patience.
The Mad Arranger / Jacob Koller You're awesome dude.
Arrange the 3/4 "Thaxted" portion of Holst's Jupiter!
Great Jacob, greetings !!!
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger
Still no sheet music?
Hey, do you include transcriptions of your improvisations in your sheet music? This was elegant
2:02 I'll play like this one day I swear!
It's been 10 months, so have you played it yet?
Have you already? xD
Well, have been about a year. Any news?
I believe in u
You can do it
One thing I love about this arrangement Is how you're not excessive with the arpeggios, the improvisation and all that stuff! It's perfect.
Yeah agreed, as too much arpeggios can make it feel a little overwhelming. The song is supposed to be a light bittersweet song with hints of sorrow. Jacob Koller _never_ disappoints
It’s been years I listen to this play. Pops up randomly in my mind once every month or so. And I don’t listen so much piano solos but this is sur a piece of art.
Please never take it down from the internet !!!
City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see
Who knows?
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you
That now our dreams
They've finally come true
City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
It's love
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
A rush
A glance
A touch
A dance
A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright
I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart
Think I want it to stay
City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
You never shined so brightly
Hà An Phạm thanks for the lyrics :)
Thank you 💝
I wont like cus u have 420 likes ;)
Hà An Phạm this is the same song my class is singing in choir 😂
Thanks 😊
It started and I was like pssht.. advanced yeah okay but then like 2 min in i was like ummm... whoops i'd like to retract my statement
About to hit 2 min
@Lord Royce damn
what we know as, tasteful
He has a habit of making people feel that way
alright, piano man, tickle those ivories
Wow.. in this 3-4 day I found you.. listened your videos and i think that you are my favourite jazz piano player right now
Pietro Di Leo If u like Jazzy Piano Music Check out "Jonny May" hes one of the best on youtube
Harley Ma D thanks ;)
Pietro Di Leo Welcome :)
Obviously a late time to be asking, but are there any other jazz pianists on youtube you guys reccomend?
This music and a glass of wine...perfect night!
Im absolutely mesmerized by the video
Idk y tho
Maybe cause its so good
this dude plays octaves faster than i play single notes.
people really out here being this talented
YES, my dream/ request became true!
_And it sounds absolutely beautiful..._
The improvised part is excellent !
The way your fingers glide so effortlessly across the keys is simply mesmerizing. The positioning, the accuracy, the emotions, it’s beautiful. And being able to see the inners of the piano adds a nice touch. Best rendition I’ve heard of this piece. I wish I would’ve found it sooner. Thank you for sharing. You’ve earned a new sub
I'm star struck! 😵 Do you think you could also arrange Another Day of Sun? Or Someone in the Crowd? Those songs are my favorite two😍
YES! I agree
Another Day of Sun is coming very soon.....
The Mad Arranger / Jacob Koller :D yay!!
YASS!
Burning question: Do you always practice all the different major minor classical scales and jazz scales crazily to nail those running passages flawlessly?
Honestly I haven't practiced scales for many years. As a kid my teacher made me practice scales a lot which was very beneficial but now I only practice the things I write or arrange for myself to play.
by far, the best version.
Oh god, that altered bit :o amazing
So beautiful! By far my favorite arrangement of this song. I have been watching this over and over. Wonderful!
The touch you give the piano is unique. Because even the same piece shows that you put your thing. Its beautiful.
can’t stop to listen this again and again. This dynamic, emotion, voice of the soul...amazing...no words
One of the best jazz improvs. Ive ever heard in my life.
So much emotion went into this. You can tell by the way their fingers move it’s so beautiful. My ears thank you 😊
so incredibly beautiful, especially the second half of the song! you made the piano sing, and I can’t imagine how magical it would be to hear this live
Your solo parts always fit the rest of the song so well, theyre always instantly stuck in my head! gonna get the sheets for sure
It took forever but this is just my favourite song to play and I’m so glad I found your beautiful arrangement
it’s so glued in his mind that it doesn’t even look like he is playing because of the endless about of practice he’s put into just this one piece and that is why he has my respect because he practiced enough to have this played so effortlessly
Nails knocking on the keys 😍 one of the most satisfying and calming sounds
Just GREAT. I love Jazz, and I love La La Land, so this seems just perfect to me. Thanks
Wow another amazing piece of art... It's so delicate and delightful!!
I’m checking this video every year, and every time I get goosebumps!
Hope that one day I’ll be able to play this masterpiece
It’s so truly gorgeous.... and they make it looks so incredibly easy what a great pianist.
Dear, Jacob Koller thank you for this perfect playing, it's just an incredible masterpiece!!! I was almost crying when listening this. Also you motivated me to play this song, however my level is just a beginner
This is the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard in my entire life
This is absolutely the best arrangement for piano and also fun to play!
와 미친 최고다..피아노 커버중 최고시바아아알ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Your improvisation took it to another level - mad skills 👍
Youssef Hassan thank you so much!
At the first moment I put a play this on youtube, I knew this was what I wanted. Best City of Stars in a piano. Keep going on other music, you Mr. magic!
Perfect arrengement, perfect solos, perfect tone
Your hands move so effortlessly over the keys, it's honestly amazing!
Whenever I hear this, I burst out in tears. Sebastain and Mia were meant to last! 😭😭
2:06 is where it hits me! *Goosebumps*
Awesome job on the improvs!
my favorite cover of this song by far! so amazing! can't wait to learn it
This is a super great piece of Jazz. I love it and could listen to it all day long
피아노 소리가 어쩜 이리 이쁠까 ㅜㅜㅜ 영어 못 써서 죄송해요 ㅜㅜ 진짜 너무 아름다움데 영어로 못 쓰겠어요 ㅜㅜ❤️
I'm glad you made this one simpler. It's sounds great
Wow just unreal. What an amazing feeling listening to this!!
Love it! Learning jazz improv in college and it's so fun to hear what you've done with the piece
this was absolutely beautiful and you are incredibly talented. i really like the twist you put on this song. great video!
The beauty of this literally made me smile!
I love your mix of ragtime and noir feels in this.
Really good Jacob! Such tasteful playing. You honor the composer with your rendition. I think he'd love it too.
Pure art and melody 💕✨✨
I fall in love with this arrangement💙
And this is how you turn an already wonderful song, into something remarkably satisfying, just wow... it striked me at 2.06, goosebumps all over!!
Too beautiful. Can't stop listening to it. And certainly can't wait for the sheet music to be uploaded!
This sounds incredible! Love it ❤

Love your covers 🧡
And it's 5 years ago now, time is so fast isn't?
WOW!!! The pop part is just perfect but the jazz part is SUPERB!!! Thank you!!

Wesley Peters I'm in ya on that! I also learnt a riff on the acoustic for that with my friend's help!
this is so honestly one of the most beautiful things i have seen on youtube today. Great job !!!
Very perfect. Best version I never heard.
I love it! Will try to play myself,can't afford the sheet of this beautiful music but maybe I can learn by watching the video and pausing at moments :)
at least I can play the first half . . . don't have the score for the 2nd half. Absolutely beautiful I just can't stop listening to this melody ! !
This is absolutely beautiful!! Amazing job
This is one of the most beautiful things i've even seen/heard.
I got to 2:00 and was going to hit like button but turns out i already had💔 I didnt remember i had watched this video before and already liked it. Apparently your playing never fails to impress me
Jazz is my fav, I'm a musician in training (still in highschool) at the moment but when I saw La La Land and heard Ryan goseling's characters dream I was like hella to the F yea thats my dream too. I hope to one day be a jazz pianist and this piece that youve arranged is just simply the best honestly its something that I'd play at any smooth groovin bar haha keep up the wonderful work mate best wishes
listen to this with rain in the. background. amazing
I fell in love with the way your fingers danced across every note without hesitation.
Absolute Amazing ...
