...along with the second one. Eat your little hearts out, lol. 8)

Here's the first version/arrangement...

Thanks for your imput, AG. :)

Sorry folks (whoever you are); I know it's been a while. I have some new sheets, two versions of 'Annie'. Couldn't decide which way to notate it, so I created two [slightly different] arrangements [with both audio files sounding identical], which are pretty self-explanatory. I had a hard time figuring out the bridge at first, but with the help of this old program All That Chords! -- as well as the official sheets & both of Maag's takes on said song -- I got it, so the actual notes are somewhat an educated guess and I'm overall satisfied with how they sound. Moreover I'll have to put the .mid & .pdf files in separate posts b/c the .pdf files are too big to combine with the .midi files.

Anywhoo, here's the sound files of both versions... hope y'all like it. ;)

YES! I finished Take It Easy today! :D I didn't have any piano to work with, so I cannot assure you guys about the accuracy. But I think it sounds fairly good ;)

There's a program called "Everyone Piano", the best program (w/ 88 keys) that I've found so far. You can upload it to your computer and go from there. It's also free and has some cute skins to choose from. There's also a Rhodes Piano feature up there that I love. I've found it pretty useful during the transcription & notation process. ;D

Do anyone of you guys play and record songs? it be really nice to hear new V tunes by you guys :)

PSSST creative endeavors has a few (;

I do, but I haven't taken the time to do so. :/

Here's 'Best Behavior', but in double time. In addition I've also revised my original take on this (the first version, see page 3), on top of the version (in double time, just b/f WTS) I've just added. Hope y'all like what you see. :)

22
Here's (also) 'Who's to Say', both a combination of the live and album version(s). Hope y'all enjoy it. ;)

23
But they're a nice alternative, though... very clever *lol*.

Anyhoo... here's 'Heroes & Thieves', but an alternate version in double time, as well as the original version of H&T (see page 1). Hope y'all like it. ;)

24
Here's '(Put Your) Hands On Me'... at least MY interpretation of it. Took a while but I've finally got it where I'm satisfied w/ the final results. ['Who's To Say' (WTS) should be up soon.] Hope y'all enjoy it. :-*

Moreover, here are the alternate/alternative lyrics to HOM [or PYHOM]; I changed them a bit so they'd make a little more sense. The link is posted down below, where I found them some time ago. Here they go/it goes:

Verse 1:

First I saw you in the video exchange,
I know my heart I mean will never change,
This tempo will be alright if you call me... you call me,
I lie awake at night for you and I pray...


Chorus:

We crossed the deepest oceans by now (to go) across the sea,
And if you don't believe me just put your hands on me,
And all the constellations shine down (on you and me) duress to be,
And if you don't believe me just put your hands on me...
Huh-nuh-ah...


Verse 2:

This feeling separates within,
It's barely night but still across the streets to your door...


(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

Some deal with the stories I've told,
The tower of love like this,
When all the centuries are going old,
A thousand years of us singing,


(Vocal Improvisation)

Nah, nuh-na, nuh-na, nuh-na, nah-na...

(Instrumental Break)

B-Section/Hook:

We crunched the bidding items, we're even merely graved,
I've seen the double drama I feel that you must drain,
And all the constellations shine down duress the sea,
And if you don't believe me just put your hands on me...


(Vocal Improvisation)

Hands on me... your hands on me...

First I saw you in the video exchange.

Here's 'Sway' (my take on it), one of my favorites from VC's debut; very catchy song/tune. Hope y'all like it. ;D

26
...along with the official album version [in "C [Major]"]. Enjoy. 8)

27
Here's 'White Houses', the live version (in "B [Major]")...

28
See a few of you wasted no time getting the first version of PB, Lol. ;) Here's the official/radio/video version/edit of 'Pretty Baby' [as opposed to the other beautiful version that'll put you to sleep; this one'll wake you up, LOL]. :D Hope y'all like it. 8)

'White Houses' (both versions) should be up next.

29
Here's another [alternate] version of 'Swindler' (the studio version); same tempo and all, but in half-time, also taking up 4 pages. Hope y'all like it. ;)

Here's 'Pretty Baby', the OAV (original album version), y'know, the one VC [and her producer/arranger Ron Fair] made b/f the radio/video version, which I'll work on next. I'll never forget that time when someone said -- I think it was over here around these parts a while back -- that they almost cried when they saw the official notation of this song (in VC's BNN songbook) b/c they were so disappointed in how crappy it was, Lol. :( So I decided to do something about it by cooking this up, and in so doing came up with this, since I've wanted to do it for years. I did it as close to the actual song as possible -- which was kinda difficult b/c VC improvises (on the piano, which I believe was Ron Fair's brainchild) more in this studio recording then she does any other song [I can think of] during her career as a recording artist -- but I finally got it done, fortunately. Moreover I derived the piano melody from the guitar (similar to what Sobriquet has done also for one of her arrangements, lol), since the piano isn't used quite as much in this song... which is kind of a good thing b/c it made the job easier. I also believe that Ron Fair plays the keyboards (it sounds like the glockenspiel) during the bridge [if not, then it was VC], like he did in much of 'Twilight' -- perhaps except the small piano parts at the end of the choruses, which VC also does -- on VC's debut record.  

This arrangement is also done in a way for those of you that either can't or don't wanna sing along while playing so that it won't sound so boring and monotonous, whether to you or anyone within earshot. ;) If there's any problems lemme know and I'll correct them later on. But in the meantime I have a bunch other (transcription & notation) projects to get to & work on, so with that said, I hope y'all enjoy this one. 8)
