Waving Through a Window - Dear Evan Hansen - Cover Jake Gale 2018-05-04 | Dear Evan Hansen swept the world when it was released last year and instantly was a show I felt connected to, as so many did. As a person with a pretty lonely childhood, themes throughout resonated strongly with me, so this song has held a special place in my heart since ever I first heard it.
Inútil - In The Heights - Cover Jake Gale 2016-09-26 | I've recently discovered In the Heights, and my god is it good. This is one of the few male solo songs in the show and the first one I actually heard from the soundtrack.Fun to sing and short, I had fun.I couldn't find any backing tracks online, so I made this one myself by ear on the piano. If anyone particularly wants it I may make it available to download!
Kenaston - Chilly Gonzales - Piano Cover Jake Gale 2016-09-26 | A lovely person showed me this once, and told me they thought it was a beautiful piece.I agreed and set out to learn it so I could play it for them the next time I saw them.They loved that even more, and I fell in love with the piece.It's by a guy who goes by Chilly Gonzales. If you haven't heard of him, I recommend him highly, he's immensely talented.
Shiksa Goddess - The Last 5 Years - Cover Jake Gale 2016-07-14 | From when I first saw a friend of mine perform in The Last 5 Years a few years ago. I fell in love with the show and listened to the soundtrack too much. So, this a cover of one of my favourite songs that Jamie, the male lead, sings.
One Song Glory - RENT Cover Jake Gale 2016-07-02 | I haven't made a video in a long time. I thought it about time to record something. RENT was the first show I ever did at Sussex University, and the only reason I really sing now. So it felt right to sing something from my favourite show.
Old Pine - Ben Howard (Cover) Jake Gale 2012-11-24 | A quick video made as an excuse to play this song. It involves tuning the Guitar to CGCGGc and thus makes it impossible to play anything else. Once I've done this, I can continue actually using the guitar.Mic is the same so the quality is nice, but I don't have a camera, so used my friends Macbook and room. Hope you enjoy it, bloody loved the song.
The Best There Ever Was ( Acoustic) - Jake Gale Jake Gale 2012-07-23 | JDG returns, UnpluggedI was seeing family in America and wanted to get something musical done.I thought, why not and re make my other video, acoustic. Shouldn't be too hard. The video had to compare too. Most of it was recorded in Tahoe, CA
Skinny Love - Bon Iver - Cover Jake Gale 2012-06-16 | Skinny Love by Bon Iver, form the album For Emma, Forever ago.I started teaching myself guitar about 2- 3 months ago, and want something to show for it.Skinny Love is such a good song, Justin Vernon such a talented guy.I'm pretty proud of how it came out, so I hope you enjoy it, my first song on guitar!
Here I Dreamt I was an Architect - The Decemberists - Piano Cover Jake Gale 2012-05-21 | Here I Dreamt I was an Architect - The DecemberistsIn the spirit of procrastination, this was born!I was meant to be revising for up coming exams, I even started a paper!However, this looked to be far more exciting. I rarely even work this hard on a song.I learnt it, recorded and filmed, then produced it in just one afternoon!Exams are only good for one thing. Getting everything else done....Also, it is an amazing song, simple graceful and catchy.I loved working on it, depsite the regret of not doing what I was supposed to be doing.P.S I'm afraid there are no sheets or anything as it was learned by ear. - Enjoy
Mr Pitiful - Matt Costa - Cover Jake Gale 2012-05-17 | It's nice to be able to upload a real song on the channel.A real good song by Matt Costa.Apologies for the voice quality, bad export.Hope you enjoy it, lots of fun to record. Also, New Mic!

Dude I Totally Miss You (Piano Cover) - Tenacious D Jake Gale 2012-03-25 | Finally thought it was worth putting up a real video.

Summer - From Kikujiro - Joe Hisaishi Jake Gale 2012-01-08 | Composed by Joe HisaishiFrom KikujiroThis is one of my favourite pieces to play. I learned it a while ago, almost 2 years now, when I started piano. It was one of the first. I recently found the sheet music again, and it reminded me of how good it was. I thought I'd upload it! Sheet music can be found here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/15475630/Summer-by-Joe-HisaishiApologies for the lack of left hand.Thanks to everyone watching. Enjoy the music.
Spirited Away - One Summers Day (Ano Natsu He) - Joe Hisaishi Jake Gale 2011-11-22 | Composed by Joe HisaishiTranscribed by PseudoI can finally do this piece justice. A new piano, and another try.This is one of my favourite pieces from Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. Its so serene and beautiful, and one of my first solo Pieces to learn.When I first learned it, I could barely do it. It was far too hard. However, I challenged myself, because I knew, once I could play it, I'd be a better player. And That is exactly what happened.This piece is a perfect example of challenging your hands. To come out of a piece as wonderful as this with even more skill than before. It's what you play to achieve.Because of this, It is one of my favourite pieces, and I'm so happy to redo it. And so pleased at how it came out.Enjoy...

This is the first of him, and hopefully not the last.Mainly because their easy to play, difficult to master. You can find sheets here!http://www.scribd.com/doc/52837838/Ludovico-Einaudi-Nefeli - Enjoy
Bruno Mars - Grenade - Piano Cover Jake Gale 2011-09-30 | Bruno Mars' Grenade from the Album 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans'This Piece is my first popular one. I heard it, and it's catchy, so I learned to play it. This is also the first upload from my new place at the University, where I now live and study, and with my new Keyboard. A Casio CDP-100.Hopefully this is a good start to some more videos that will definitely follow. Maybe even some more popular ones too.

Final Fantasy VII - Those Who Fight Jake Gale 2011-08-02 | Final Fantasy - VII - Those who Fight, from the Piano Collections, and Advent ChildrenComposed by Nobuo UematsuI am very iffy about uploading this, It's not perfect, and so may be re uploaded in the future, with better video, and better playing. Forgive the video quality, I recorded well into the night and so lost the sunlight behind me.I consider this a milestone piece. Its challenging enough that I feel I've learned from playing it. I always remember listening to the piece in game, and more recently in the piano collections, and in the film. I thought how incredible a piece it is. Unperformable and requiring at least 4 hands. This is my homage to that, Its something to be proud of, regardless of the slips and mistakes.Enjoy nonetheless.
Final Fantasy VII - Main Theme Jake Gale 2011-06-09 | The Main Theme from Final Fantasy VIIComposed by Nobuo UematsuI recently heard the Final Fantasy VII Piano Collections, and fell in love. The classic pieces are just so well transcribed and played.I play this as a tribute to them, as well as because its another mega nostalgic piece for me.Sheet music can be found with entire collection here:http://www.scribd.com/doc/3136394/Final-Fantasy-VII-Piano-Collections-Sheet-Music
Sims 3 Theme - Piano Jake Gale 2011-05-15 | The main theme from The Sims 3, EA GamesI remember always liking the theme from the other games, but this version was the best. It was fully orchestrated and had a much richer melody. I played it mainly as a joke, but thought it would be nice to upload it.This is one of the few pieces I have learned by ear, however sheet music isn't unavailable. Any I could find were limited so needed embellishment anyway, for example here, these are basic sheets I found while looking around.http://www.scribd.com/doc/26285330/The-Sims-3-Piano-Sheet-MusicComposer - Steve JablonskyEnjoy my adaptation.
Joe Hisaishi - Spirited Away - One Summers Day Jake Gale 2011-05-08 | Spirited Away's One Summers DayComposed by Joe HisaishiArranged by PseudoFrom the Studio Ghibli film by Hayao Miyazaki Spirited away.Unfortunately I cannot find the sheet music that I used online. The particular sheets i used were from his album Encore, so the edition isn't exactly as it is in the film.This piece is landmark for me. I learned it first about a year ago. At the time it was way above me in skill level, and learning it catapulted me into a new level of ability. My playing this time doesn't do it justice, and I only wish i could make it sound as great as it should.Enjoy
