An immortal song from Evanescence.
The best song ever. Love it.

Good song, and it has the word piano in the title, so why not?


The Newcomers

Neil Young plays the piano on this one. The studio version features strings from the London Symphony Orchestra, but I personally recommend the version recorded live at the BBC in 1971. It's just Neil by himself.




The best song, plus it's in Top Gun, and Top Gun is number one.


This has been one of my favorite songs since childhood.
Freddie played the piano like a boss here.
A favorite song for a lot of people.



As much as I love Clocks, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Pyramid Song, I love this true ballad because it is so beautiful.
This song is the best song ever. Best of Coldplay.
This is the real ballad song of all time!
