Requiem for a dream? Never heard of it... lol.... I'll have to look it up on Youtube... My focus is entirely on classical music - I don't have a good feel for popular piano music.
I am currently learning Tchaikovsky's October from The Seasons - a set of 12 pieces that he wrote, one for each season of the year with the mood matching the season. October is kinda sad and contemplative, like the season depicting the end of summer and with fall and winter coming. Look it up on Youtube - it sounds beautiful and easy but it is deceptively tricky, at least for me... My biggest problem is practice - at the stage I am in (intermediate level of skill), I should be practicing for at least an hour a day, but I rarely have time to do that. You don't get better playing 10 or 15 minutes a day unfortunately.

Its bordering on classical if you ask me but a lil depressing (my lady pretends to nose her neck when she hears me play the link below), powerful though YouTube - Requiem for dream piano (my long version)

I took a listen - haven't heard it before but I took a look at the sheet music and it looks reasonably easy.
Here is the Tchaikovsky piece I am learning - it is a pretty difficult piece, at least for me. Lots of syncopation alternating between the left and right hand. YouTube - Ghena Plays: Tchaikovsky: Seasons: October: Autumn Song

I can just see you at that piano with your dinner suit on, slightly drunk with bow open and a half empty glass of white on the piano, head moving all over the place LOL!

Scrum I think I have asked you this before but are you familiar with Chopin's Nocturne in E Minor?

The nocturnes are pretty difficult pieces as Chopin needs to be played with a lot of emotion, something easier said than done. I hope to be good enough in a year or two to be able to play it. A pretty good amateur performance can be seen here: YouTube - Chopin: Nocturne in E Minor, Op 72, Nr 1

Here is one by a professional. Sviatoslav Richter is one of the best ever, probably among the top 4 or 5 classical pianists of ALL TIME.
YouTube - Richter plays Chopin: Nocturne no. 19, Op 72 no. 1 The lightness of touch and the emotion is amazing! Just the way a nocturne should sound. Anybody who plays piano will know how unbelievably difficult this is - can't be achieved by mortals.
