I convinced my pianist friend Mark to cover 'I Am The Doctor'. He'd never heard the song before, and didn't know what Doctor Who was, but as soon as he heard it he was in love with it. And is now a fan of Doctor Who! *yes!*

He learned the song by ear and over the past week practiced, arranged and has now uploaded a video of him playing it to youtube.

Here's the link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt6Uh8y21ps

I just felt the need to share it as I think it's truely brilliant! He's the only person on youtube to do the entire song on piano too!

Drop him a comment on youtube if you like it! He'd really appreciate it!

Not a clue what happened to the link then? Maybe I should stop cross posting directly hahaha!

I was immensely impressed by this. Your friend is extremely talented. I really enjoyed it, thanks so much for posting.

Thank you! I shall pass on the praise

Wow I'm so impressed that he did the arrangment himself, I was going to ask where he got the sheet music from because I know someone who would love a copy!

I've been lurking on this forum for a little while now, and finally created an account a few days ago, and was unsure where to post first. As I also play piano (not well, I only made grade 5, but I can amuse myself) I thought this was a good place to start Your friend is amazing! I loved his cover. I made up a sad version of the theme myself - would like to hear more interpretations of different DW tracks from better accomplished musicians than me though!

Thanks for a fantastic upload

Brilliant cover!

Your friend has a fair amount of talent (and a few other peoples fair amount)

As he learned by ear, I don't think there's sheet music XD
Sorry about that!

Glad you're all loving his video!

If you've got a youtube account, please drop him a comment, he was all excited to me earlier- he's never had so many comments on one of his videos before!

I haven't got a youtube account, sorry. You will have to show him this thread.

(I'm glad he has now discovered DW, btw. I hope he enjoys it. Can you persuade him to do more piano arrangements of the DW music )

Hehe, I shall try!

Any requests?

shame he didn't feel like he could show his face... he should be very very very proud of that

That was an excellent arrangement and performance! Very well done.

Seriously good! I am impressed!

Please help promote this video on other websites too!

How about the actual Doctor Who theme itself?

Hmm...I was honestly expecting it to be poor but it was in fact completely awesome!

*totally jealous*

From what I saw, he was cute.

Haha aren't we all?

Wow! 10 out of 10! I hope Murray Gold see's this!

Amazingly talented. I so admire people who can play an instrument by ear.
Awesome cover.

Very talented, I was immediately impressed!

Your friend is amazing. Is he looking for a wife?

Edit: Listening to his classical pieces videos, he plays beautifully. I could listen to him all day.

Please pass my thanks on to Mark. Since watching the video i've been checking out his classical music videos. I have never been a big fan of classical music. I am now!!

Simply brilliant, very impressed. Please ask him to do some more DW stuff
