What started out as a simple piano cover of Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" turned into a gorgeous improvisation that will tug at the strings of your heart.
"Favorite Girl" by Justin Bieber makes for a smoking hot arabian / middle eastern version! Wait for my synth solo at the end! Listen with headphones for sweet, sweet stereo sound. Played on flute and keyboards.
Hmmm... I wonder if we can get Justin to tweet this... it'd probably make my day. Heck, it might make my career. :)
P.S. A special thank you to lord and master of the keyboard Jordan Rudess whose stunning performances have instilled in me a deep love and respect for the art of pitch bending.
Two songs by Train and Owl City come together for another incredibly fun medley / mashup. Great apart, great together.
Took me a while to arrange and record, but it was worth it!
Mashed up lyrics (so you can follow the tune): If I could look across the country From California to New Jersey Then I would count the parks and lake resorts And number all the jets and airports All those rather dreary rain clouds still bother me 'Cause I look through the camera eyepiece and cannot see
Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know! Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight Hey, hey, hey
If I was walking through a sad art gallery And you were driving through the night I'd feel rather alone and ill at ease Beneath the brilliant showroom light If I was flying on a plane above your town And you were gazing at the sky Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured If you began to wave goodbye
Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know! Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do tonight, Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight Hey, hey, hey
Gagafest Part 2: I never thought a dance anthem like Alejandro would sound like this when played in gentle solo piano style. But here it is, a solo piano cover of Lady Gaga's new hit, Alejandro.
Also, before you ask, here are the lyrics (based on a version from Archuleta Fan Scene) and chords I transcribed.

Lyrics:
A:{
You can tell me everything is perfect
Pretend splitting up with him felt right
No sign of reminiscing
Somehow you're not convincing
Why even try to hide it inside?
}
B:{
You say you're over him, tell me that you're fine
You know it doesn't work
Even when you smile, I don't believe you
You're not a very good liar
Said it doesn't hurt, that you never cry
You can tell yourself, go ahead deny
You know it's not true
You're not a very good liar
Oh, oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oh, oooh
Not a very good liar
}
Inside you're falling apart but you keep it together
Telltale signs, does he keep you crying all night?
It's for the best, it keeps folks saying
Cause something better is out there waiting
But eyes don't lie, and I see it every time
Section B
C:{
Maybe it hurts too much to talk about
But you don't say nothing at all, no
But if you ever need someone to talk to
Then you know who to call
}
