Postcards from far away!

[cephaus]

Haha, as a non-musician, I'm dying in anticipation to hear what Postcards from Far Away sounds like.. I'm sure i'm not the only one. =)

 

Is there any possibility that someone could play it out and record it?

 

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, Coldplay just updated their site with a widget section (There's already a thread for that) and one of the wallpapers there has the notes for Postcards From Far Away..

if this wasn't finals week... i would probably have done it by now. but i just have too much work. if someone else can't do it i'd probably be able to have it up on thursday...

I remember someone posting an article of odd things celebrities ask for when they go places,

And I remember that Coldplay gets postcards from every place they go to.

 

Maybe that song is about all the postcards they've collected?

Well, at least the title anyway.

 

I think that's adorable !

I'm trying to play it but I'm really not that great at piano. And there's an interval of 15 semitones which I can't reach with my baby hands.

I laid it all out in Garageband based off the wallpaper of the sheet music from their site and it sounds pretty cool. I'll have to upload if someone hasn't already.

 

It's not the full sheet music, i think half of it but you get the idea!

has it been released??

Postcards From Far Away mp3s!

I'd like to apologize for making extra threads about the song, but I wanted the first post to have the downloads without any trouble. :wink2:

 

I'm a sub novice when it comes to piano, so instead of playing the music out, I put it all down in Finale and then exported it as a midi. I converted the midi to an mp3 in Garageband. Since there's no way of knowing the key, I used C Major for the sake of ease. There's two tempos, 70 bpm and 120.

 

It's obviously not the whole song, and it's all chopped up because the wallpaper cuts off in the middle. But it's better than nothing! :laugh4: Hope everyone enjoys! :)

 

70 bpm http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?somlmyocvxm

 

120 bpm http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jyim3ijbmhi

 

Edit: Oops! Somehow I didn't notice the peddle wasn't down for half the song. Excellent testing I suppose. :stunned: I would suggest redownloading if yours sounds choppy. Sorry.
