Music you wish you could play

[Pumpkin]

Are there any songs that you just wish you could play? Most songs have several instruments, so if you want to be more specific you can say "I wish I could play the guitar for this song" or what have you. Do you think you will be able to someday?

I wish I could play this song because I think it's a beautiful song:

8KX9L6YkA78

[Karifean]

I wish I could play Dancing Mad on the piano. But I know that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

[noxious.sunshine]

I wish I cpuld play the piano theme from Parasite Eve. I think its gorgeous.

Also the opening of FFX-2.. In the menu screen. Eternity~Memories of Lightwaves or whatever

After witnessing Jeff Mangum play Holland, 1945 and Ghost live, I cannot ever hope to match his speed and rhythm with ever playing those two songs.

Just as a heads up, Shorty, I Will Follow You into the Dark is a pretty easy song to learn. I learned how to play it a few years ago pretty quickly when I was bored one day.

I keep trying to think of if any songs stick out that I want to learn, but I kind of just want to learn how to play any song I listen to that I like. There was a Final Fantasy VIII medley one of my friends played on the piano once in a high school talent show that I've always wanted to learn.

[Bubba]

I would love to be able to play Bloody Tears from Castlevania on the piano.

[Lonely Paper Star]

Everything I've ever practiced but never completely played through and/or memorized. D: ... that list includes a lot of video game music. Lol.

On the classical side, also this piece:

SfN7xf6JymQ

[Spooniest]

Still More Fighting from FF7.

Been trying to nail it for four years. Not even close.

[Ayen]

It's My Life by Bon Jovi.

The entire soundtrack of Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFjT1TExFyM).
