There’s a guy on youtube who goes by Taioo and he does piano covers of theme songs (mostly video games). Well, he’s done basically every TF2 merc’s theme and it’s absolutely amazing. Not to mention, he puts little jokes inside the videos like playing the piano with a wrench on Engie’s theme, or randomly appearing and disappearing during Spy’s theme. It’s absolutely beautiful, so here’s some links to some his videos:
Recuérdame, hoy me tengo que ir mi amor Recuérdame, no llores por favor Te llevo en mi corazón y cerca me tendrás A solas yo te cantaré soñando en regresar
Recuerdame, aunque tenga que emigrar Recuérdame, si mi guitarra oyes llorar Ella con su triste canto te acompañará Hasta que en mis brazos estés Recuérdame
English lyrics:
Remember me Though I have to say goodbye Remember me Don’t let it make you cry For even if I’m far away I hold you in my heart I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me Though I have to travel far Remember me Each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I’m with you the only way that I can be Until you’re in my arms again Remember me
Don’t listen to this while imagining young Coco with her head resting on her folded arms, watching a small copper music box play on her bedside table, a tiny painted mariachi figurine with a white guitar just like her father’s slowly turning in place as the familiar song plays.
They made it into a ringtone because it was old enough to be public domain, and Nokia (I think?) didn’t want to have to pay royalties.
… I like the full version.
So after hearing this I did a little Google searching and found out that the name of this piece is “Gran Vals.” It was composed in 1902 by Spanish composer Francisco Tárrega. It was originally composed for guitar of all things. In 1993, the Executive Vice President of Nokia Ansii Vanjoki brought the piece to his Head of Corporate Communications Lauri Kivinen, and they selected an excerpt from measures 13-16 of the song to appear as the Type 7 ringtone on the Nokia 2110 released in 1994.
This is a performance of the original piece I found on YouTube.
