Some Different Music

Started teaching myself piano 2 months ago. Here is my first composition. It doesn't go anywhere really but it's a start.

That's nice. You've got some skills, I must say. I'm not sure if there is anything I could say that you already know, so all I can say is it sounds really, really good.

Reminds me of something Daniel John's would right. His voice would go great with that.

I wish I had a piano.

I listened to this yesterday, quite enjoyable.
Always nice to see people who enjoy playing piano..there's this whole beauty behind it, I can't really explain it..I think its an instrument you can just make such a personal connection with..





you won't let me down...

In 2 months you can already play like that?! Wow, Jeff, you've got talent. I can play the rugrats theme song on piano!...that's pretty much it.





The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect woman... the Goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie.

I was heavily inspired/influenced by Daniel Johns and The Beatles to take up the piano.

No results yet. We want to make sure we find exactly the right person. A singer is such an important part of the band that we're treating it very seriously. Seriously enough to take 10 months off searching.

Damm impressive !

A tad repetitive for just piano by itself, but I reckon it would be awesome with some vocals.

I'm envious of muscians ! they can pick up any intrument in a matter of months.

Recorded with an electric piano plugged directly into a minidisc player then transfered to computer and burned to cd.

Asylum is so key. Dan's new band, The Dissociatives, is sounding pretty good too.

Heh, Daniel Johns and Paul Mac, they actually work pretty well together. Although Paul Macs staple is working with other artists more than just doing his own solo thing (at least all his singles are like that).

I'm just trying to test something here...

Hey it works. Nice.

I was listening to a song I wrote on guitar in midi form with a piano effect, and I thought it sounded way better on piano, and I remembered this thread. Since the file is so small, I wanted to see if I could attach it and it worked.

Thanks, man.

Oddly enough, it sounds different on this attachment than the original source.

Btw, I know people have heard this before, so I'm sorry if it's getting old. I just thought it sounded pretty cool with the piano. It always reminds me of the "Titanic" movie for some reason.

Ah man, I can never get sick of this song. "It's tight".. that sums it up right about there. Lol I can see you doing this @ someone's wedding. The song makes me all sad and mushy. *cries*





I hate myself and I want to die.
