Lewis Takes Action- Piano/Vocal Arrangement

[Carlo]

Hello,
I have been completely obsessed with this song (don't worry, the rest of the album is getting as much love). I think I listen to it at least 4 times a day. Always on the way to rowing . So I decided to do this for the only instrument I play well

I have arranged Lewis Takes Action for the Piano. This is my first time doing an arrangement (so it may not be the best) and I'm also 14... but give me a chance.

I know the left hand can be boring/repetitive but I didn't know how to incorporate the bassline otherwise. Perhaps I will write the bassline separately to free up the left hand another time.

For now, this is all I have, I apologize for messy rest placing and bar spacing, again I am new to this Let me know if there's any problems with it

Give it a try!

And if you do download it, please give me feedback AKA REPLY!

I plunked few the first few measures. The chords don't always feel quite anchored to a progression, but as an arranger myself I really like the way you jump around with sonority and let imagination and voice fill in (I can't sing and play, maybe that's the problem). Could you extract a midi from the file you created?

Sure. I apologize for the audio inaccuracy at the beginning of the vocals.

In the pre-verse part to the "I took a no face," your run doesn't get quite up to the note (though they are pretty anyway). Those chords after "fire from my fingers" could be dripping with a bit more dissonance, else it feels like a bit of an anticlimax (although that's a style choice as well). These are quibbles, I'm a big fan! Well done.

I thought those bitonal chords sounded a bit wrong played on a piano. Perhaps the player could play the bottom note alot softer, but it just sounded horrible with the MIDI. Thank you for the feedback!!!!! Nice to know that the community here is very friendly (I'm used to never ending amount of trolls on different boards )
