A few days ago, I found myself dusting off old CDs to listen to in the car for my daily 3+ hours of commuting to my thankless job. I put on The Cure: Paris and it has been on endless-loop ever since. I had forgotten how beautiful A Letter to Elise was and when I tried to sing along, I choked up a little. The song has been in my head ever since, so I decided to sit down this morning and play it on the piano.
It's not fancy or thought-out, my fireplace is out of tune...it just is what it is. And just for fun, I thought I'd share it with you.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just beautiful. The slightly out-of-tune "fireplace" only adds the melancholy. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved this song.... but THIS.... is magic. And the out-of-tune piano makes it more Coraline/Tim Burton-esque. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love that you love my increasingly out-of-tune piano. It was fine until about a month ago when the weather started warming up but now, it's tough to use the full range of the keyboard because the high notes are totally out of tune from the low notes. I tend to just stick to the low keys and sing in what ever pitch that is.
ReplyDeleteWowza.. isn't that nice? I dig how these lower keys fit your voice. Terrific performance.
ReplyDeleteThat song's a regular on my favorites list and now so is your rendition. :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chords you used in the beginning?
