Just picture Viva La Vida as not the grand anthem Coldplay rewrote—envision it as a beautiful piano ballad. Which is precisely what Andy Morris has done, and it’s fantastic. Not only that, he performs it not on a big stage, but simply at a cafeteria. Giving his classmates a nice surprise during their typical lunch time. And you could see the amazement on their faces indeed!
Andy with Viva La Vida adds more of that dynamic range you love about this song. The young piano prodigy gave an impressive performance for his peers even causing them to stop, listen, and watch.
He didn’t stop there though. He also played Joji’s Glimpse of Us. Then, his cover of La La Land’s Mia and Sebastian Theme Song. Putting his own unique spin on them and still displaying such piano playing skill that makes it look easy!
Andy is a real professional at making people melt with every tune he selects. For Andy, it’s not only about getting the beautiful pitch but about telling the story with emotions through the sounds, and you can sense the love that he puts into every song he performs.
He also made this fantastically spooky viral video dressed up as Michael Myers playing the recognizable slasher tune and getting millions of views!
