An (overly?) produced super-hit that in fact turned out to hold a really (really!) nice piano-part.
When I started to listen what chords this song was built of and make my own piano version out of them by copying some of the synths from the original, I was happily surprised with the beauty of the actual song that came out. Of course, it had already occurred to me that this song had something special when I heard it one of the million-and-some times on the radio wherever I go lately, but translating such a heavily electronic song into an acoustic piano part always does something special to reveal the bare-naked niceness (when it's there) of a tune, doesn't it?
The lesson is very well suited for beginner - intermediate pop-pianists (though, as always, I'm sure almost everybody can take something out of it) tackling some basic triad-meets-melodic-pattern using extensions, some inversions, voicing-techniques and even some dressing-up at the end.
Well actually, quite the cool lesson indeed, wether you like the original song or not. Highly recommended.
Have fun!
Cheers, Coen.
