And now you look at me
And see what I've known for so long
It's sad that you can be
So lovely, yet so wrong

Hmm. Seems everyone has a lot of time on their hands....
I'd know heaps more than I do if I wasn't so busy learning other pieces for piano lessons...

My list isn't that exciting but my FAVOURITES to play are Morning Sting, Wanted and Annie

I don't know by heart all the songs, but with sheet music I think I can play them all.

Quote from: "me and my piano---tim"
^^^ that's pretty impressive! how long've you been playing for? the only song I learned by ear was white houses... and it took me FOREVER.


I've been playing since early May of '04, about 2 mos. b/f my 19th b-day. I've grown a lot since then. If you told me then I would play certain songs, I would've thought you were crazy.

I can't play as many songs as I would like b/c 1)I don't have the time 2)I use the painos at a local university music building b/c I don't have one @ home 3)I don't have a computer at home, so I can't print out as much paper as I would like and 4)Since I'm really poor, I can only put $1 on my printer card, which I purchased from the local library, where I use the Internet. With some songs, I didn't print out all the pages b/c 1)It would've been a waste of paper AND my money 2)VC makes the chords pretty much repeat themselves at the end, so I learned the rest by ear.

Someone said that HAWBTW was hard; it wasn't to me. Not the easiest song I've played, but I've mastered it pretty well. The only problem is that I'm still having trouble with the instrumental break, which has all the 'broken chords'. I'm always falling behind there.
