Howell Jenkins Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 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. ;) 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! :laugh3: 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.

Space Cadet Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks! :D Makes much more sense the way you're playing it than when I tried to stumble through it. So is this officially the first Coldplay song we've had covers of before any of us ever even heard it? :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winigwl Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 09 album maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver1231 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 i just played this on the piano actually using the notes from the image and it sounded very nice. some notes sounded a bit strange and some were very hard to actually play (chords were hard to reach) but its still a beautiful song. i'm guessing whoever printed the music (presumably chris) forgot to write a flat or two :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Amazing what Chris capable of when's by himself with a piano for a while. His best displays of musicianship shows up thn, that's how we got careful where you stand, see you soon, amsterdam, a ghost, harmless, I bloom blaum, and now postcards from far away. I'm liking this more and more, especially the high bit three quarters through it sounds almost debussy-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
