My All-Time Favorite Instrumental Piece
I listen to all kinds of music, but acoustic, live, or instrumental tracks are my favorite. I like the ‘rawness’ of the music - purely composed of acoustic sounds without any kind of sound engineering (except maybe amplification). I guess you can call me a minimalist. Remember I mentioned about a rare track I kept in my dead harddisk? Fortunately, I have a copy of it in my phone. Some of you may have heard it before when I put it up on my old blog years ago. Let me share it here with you now, my all-time favorite instrumental piece:
I can loop the song an infinite number of times and still won’t get sick of it. I wish I could play like that :(. I don’t know who the pianist is, though. It’s actually based on an original song, sung by Utada Hikaru. It’s called Final Distance, if I’m not mistaken. The CD (from which this song was supposedly taken) had only 3 tracks, all instrumental piano pieces (including Can You Keep a Secret - but I don’t have that song anymore). It’s no use trying to search for the piano score - I’ve had people asking me where to find it (one even offered me $$!).
I can’t even find the CD online. Anyway, tell me you love it :)

Thats lovely. I’ve heard that piece before but didn’t know the title. Another one which I can hear over and over again is the Theme from The Deer Hunter or Cavatina. Love that one too. Now if only I could play that. Hahaha.
You’re welcome, guys.
Angel, thanks for that piece of info! Whoa you search-queen :p I had given up on searching for stuff about that song a few years ago - cuz everytime I tried, nothing was found. Limewire huh? Told you it’s a rare item :p Priceless stuff sure la must be hard to find!
Jian - Too quick to judge. The answer is no :) Don’t assume!!
MG - Ah yes. That song. It’s one of classical guitar pieces that I studied. It was the original score by John Williams - the song sounds nicer on guitar than on piano, imo. But I’ve not been practising for a very long time. Too much of pop (and rock) now already. Sigh!
OMG! I love Utada Hikaru since God knows when. I have all her songs. I heard of those instrumental ones before and I too loop them all day long.
dude, when r u going to play guitar in public again a?
i love this song whats the actual name of it cauz i want to have it can u email me the name of it please i would really love it .thank you :)
