Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Pianoforte) (Performance)

I was in Abbey Road Studios recently performing for The Beatles Anniversary event. During what was a wonderful day I had a few minutes where the room was empty to capture this piece for Never Gonna Give You Up (Pianoforte). I hope you enjoy it as much as I was honoured to be able to make it there - Rick x

Listen to Rick Astley:

Lyrics:
We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

that was amazing, we don't deserve him... last rickroll of the decade

[thatguyStrike]

Played this on my wedding because it's perfect — it specifically expresses what we feel for each other, and we got to deliver the ultimate Rick Roll to our guests. Thanks, Rick. <3

[Lexie_Tyler]

The force is truly still with you Rick, thank you for Rickrolling us throughout the decade, we shall never give you up

[lampywicks]

2:24 He goes to say "Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it", but refrains from singing the rest of the words, and instead holds his heart to try and express those feelings with his body. Such a creative, expressive and talented man that really cares for his music.

This is the internet's ending theme!

[izzy]

It sounds like a love song to a partner after a fight instead of a teen yearning for a crush. EVOLUTION.

"Never gonna make you cry"


Me : *Crying inside bedroom*

[PercentOS]

I love this lay back version. It really brings out Rick Ashley's singing skills.

[alex-nved]

when you try to rickroll someone but you're depressed:

[Blobby-onjt]

when you prepare an epic rickroll but they don’t reply

[KaityKat]

This is unironically one of the best renditions ever.

[DarshD]

I am here to get rickrolled on purpose cause I think the song is genuinely cool. Thank you Rick!!

[priscillaquartz]

This... Is the best thing I've ever heard...

[oursilverarrows]

I honestly don't mind getting Rick rolled even if it was over and over again.

I love the song and I think it's pure musical genius.

[Jaytracker]

Damn, his voice has gotten better wtf?

[trinitdm]

"Never gonna make you cry" Are you sure about that? I think I'm starting to tear up because this is just too beautiful.

[tonyStorks]

"Never gonna make you cry"

Lies.

[kyoun]

It took us a whole decade to found out this was a love song

[docskywalkerriftstudios]

The rare time someone embraces the greatness and makes it even greater!

[jett]

I genuinely can’t tell whether I like this more then the original they’re both great but personally I think I like this one more since it really brings out his singing skills and it’s genuinely brilliant.
