"Talking To My Piano"

"If you had all the time in the world, what would you do?"

Hey all!

I got a request to do the sheets for Eric Chou's song again, and this time its for 跟钢琴说话。One thing that surprises me is that Eric's songs are rather hard to get the sheets for online. He's already so well known, but his songs are not that easy to the sheets... 

Among his songs that I've made the sheets for, I believe this would be my favorite piece. The title itself is something literal that I often do myself, and I find it a norm if a musician "talks” to the instrument of his choice no?

The lyrics bring a lot of meaning to appreciate, and I guess it's kinda like the story of my life. 

Kinda happy to have had this requested. The song is beautiful. 

And to answer the question, I would practice my pieces, indulge in some anime (HEHEHEHEHEHE I'VE GOT SOME LIST TO WATCH AHAHAHAHAHAHAH IM SUDDENLY TRIGGERED!!!! ), and probably learn some new languages. 

What would you do? 


What would you do? =)

Thank you.

Lés Amigos!

Ola~

I've just recently heard Despacito on the Internet, and was rather hooked listening to it for the first time.

I might be changing my uploads a bit, cuz making a video every week has some shortcomings, and not to mention it might make the video rather crappy. This isn't set yet. I'm thinking of it, but might not change anything in the end...  AND, my video editor seems to be bugging out on me =(

Despacito - Luis Fonsi ft Dadee Yankee Piano 



PS: I've just finished watching Attack On Titan 2! Can't wait for Season 3!! NO I DUN WANNA READ THE MANGA CUZ ITS BETTER TO WATCH THE ANIME FIRST!!! 

This scene was better and more realistic than I expected when I read the manga until this part, so was the next scene where Eren "ordered" the wild Titans.
EREN X MIKASA <3

永不失联的爱 Never Ending Love Yong Bu Shi Lian tutorial and sheets

Hi~

Sheets are ready within a week from the LIVE video.

And as mentioned, this is my new site: www.drewyjin.wixsite.com/sheets

From here on now, that site will be my sheet archive, and whoever wants sheets can head over there and download it for free~

But I'll also share the link here for sheets here as usual. It's just much neater and centralized to use the mentioned site to share my previous sheets.

So, here it is:


and the sheets https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4FAsYcU02gsYkgxcjI2eGE5X28

PS: The Wonder Woman movie was an great one~ Or perhaps it's just that I'm easy to please and hence I don't have any complaints. But anyway, it was a really, really nice movie~ Gal Gadot <3

                  This scene would have to be one of the my favorite scenes in the movie. So much courage, so much determination. Such an admiration.

永不失联的爱 ( Yong Bu Shi Lian De Ai ) - 周兴哲 Eric Chou Piano

Heya all~

EXAMS ARE DONE AND  HERE COMES SUMMER BREAK!

I've made an arrangement for Eric Chou's new song: 永不失联的爱 ( Yong Bu Shi Lian De Ai ).

Aw man some things just are hard to change... As I was making the recording, I just couldn't help the 'rush' within. Haih... while in the end its not too bad, but its really sickening that I'm still struggling with timing issues. Grrr...

Sheets will be ready anyway, so as a form of compensation, do look forward to it. It won't be too hard, since 永不失联的爱 ( Yong Bu Shi Lian De Ai ) is a rather slow and simple song, with lots of feelings in it. 

So look forward to my sheets by the end of this week~

PS #2: I'm still working on my site, so subsequent sheets shall be stored there. It'll be my sheet archive. =)

#### THIS S#### IM OUT

Hey fam~ How's it going?

Remember how the last post I sounded so down? I'll break some details here.

To make things short, I applied for an exchange program but wasn't shortlisted despite fulfilling the grades, and the worst part of it is it was only my department that had such a small quota of 5 eligible students, while I was 6th/7th on the list. 

Thinking about it, I was quite eager to be accepted, so when I got the email, it took me some time to let the reality sink in, something that I think is good in a way that I don't react to disappointing moments immediately. So subsequently my days were rather.... sore. A few of my friends had asked if I was successful, and when I told them, it was this line that tugged the really sore string inside: "You can apply again next year.", “明年再申请过。”... While I firmly believe that is more or less the only acceptable reply in response to my situation, I felt as though that sentence reflected a lot on the unseen forces that make us who we are, and hence, I didn't feel good at all. 




I'm already trying to make this YouTube effort work, and I don't need other factors to tell me I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I've had enough of things telling me indirectly that I'm not good enough. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. 




So instead of doing nothing at all, I decided to go against the norm, and appealed. I sent out some emails, met with my tutor bla bla bla.... I figured that it was easier to fight for my chance than to wait to apply for another year, because who knows what other commitments will show up the next year. 

So fast forward 2 weeks, I got a call from the International Office, and voila~ My Head Of Department managed to get extra place for exchanging students, and I was one of them. =)

So technically, the dust is over and I'm back from the dark days. 

But truthfully, I was about to accept my fate after my last email, and decided that if I'm to be denied entirely, I will be denied entirely. There's no half rejection of sorts, and I was gonna just accept that fact. But, guess some things are worth fighting for.




So here's the catch of this exchange: It'll be for a year. And I might not be able to find a piano there for my YouTube activities.... 

BUT again, I'm not going to let some factors such as this affect my promise. I will find a way to have my piano with me, be it a keyboard or a digital piano, as long as I can continue my efforts in making materials. OR I can find other materials to make? Who knows? I might turn into a comedian for a year! 

So one of the 2 songs that kept me busy during those days is this lovely Chinese song by Bell 宇田, and it's called 蝌蚪, literally "Tadpole". And also another anime song which I have always wanted to play. (It'll be a secret for now...)

Also, I'll be launching my new site soon as my Sheet Archive, since Google Docs just doesn't seem neat enough. 

So until then, I will return to making videos each week since its already SUMMER BREAK!!.... after my last paper on the 30th of May~ 

I hope to have your continual support. Thank you for 300 subs~ 




 SHEETS WILL BE MADE! 

PS: I've noticed on my analytics that the number of people coming here are rather consistent. I would love to know you guys, so maybe leave a comment or something? I could prepare something special if you did =)
