Popular Kids songs on Piano

My first concert

I love going to concerts. I love the feeling you get the day of the concert and also how it builds as the time gets closer. I love the feeling of sitting in your seat wait for them to come on stage, the feeling when the first come and play the first song of the night. I have not been to many concerts but I have really enjoyed the concerts that I have been too and I really want to go to more.

My first concert that I ever went to was last year. I come home one day and my mom surprises me and said that I was going to Marianas Trench in thunder bay tonight. I really wanted to go see them because they are one of my favourite bands but I had no money to get tickets. My mom also said that my best friend was coming with me and that this was my birthday present. I remembered that I started to cry and I went and hug my mom. My mom had no clue I like the band and neither did my dad. My dad was the one who got the tickets and it was his idea about the concert. I got ready right away. My mom, my best friend and I, went into the car and off we went. When we got to the city, we stopped to eat at Swiss Chalet. I remember getting perogies and sharing them with my friend.

At the concert venue, are seats were pretty close. We were sitting in the middle on the bottom level. I look around and seen that some of my friends and other people at school were sitting at the back even though they got tickets the day they came out. When the concert started, there was 2 opening acts. One of them was Anami Vice. I did not know any of the songs but they were really good. The next act was Down with Webster. I was really happen they were one of the acts because I know some of there songs and I think they are really good. Now Marianas Trench was about to come on. There was a big screen that was on the stage. They played a little clip about a story. The story relates to there newest album. The would played more of the clip throughout the rest of the concert. They played a lot of songs for their new album and they also played older songs. I knew almost every song they played. I really enjoyed the concert and I would  like to see them again.

I hope you like my post about my first concert. Leave a comment down below what your first concert was because I would really like to know. I will see you guys next time

Themes and Days

I have realized that doing a theme every week that matches with a certain day is really hard to do. I have decided to not do that anymore and post what I want and not have to worry about making sure I get the post done in time with the right theme as well. Of course i will also talk about some of the themes in future blog posts. I hope you still will read my blog and enjoy the content that I will post in the future.

How to Play songs on Piano

This week I am going to teach you some a song on piano.
The song that I am going to teach you is welcome to the black parade by my chemical romance. You can listen to the song here. If the video won't play you can click the link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q9q6zl3WIs

Here is me playing the song on piano. Click the link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a3k9M1lxHw
I tried to put put the video in the post put it will not let me.

Ok now I will tell you how to play this song.

Opening right hand:
You want to play the opening in C4 octave. C4 is also know as the middle C.
For the opening you play G F# Up to B (In the same octave) E D G C B( in the next octave which would C3) E( now back to C4) A(in the C3 octave). Now you want to play the opening twice. For the opening there is no left hand.

Verse right hand :
D G D  G F# D  F# G D  F# G F# E D E C  F# G F# E D C D
C D G D  G F# D  F# G D  F# G F# E D E C  F# G F# E D C D

Verse left hand: While you are playing the right hand, you play the opening at the same time but in a lower octave like C3.
G F# Up to B (In the same octave) E D G C B( in the next octave which would C3) E( now back to C4) A(in the C3 octave).



That is how you play the song Welcome to the Black Parade By My Chemical Romance. If you still have trouble play this song, I would like to say that I am sorry but I don't know how to play the piano well and it even took me awhile and a lot of practice to get this song right. If you are still having trouble after practicing, leave a comment and I will try and help you. You can also leave a comment if you would like to see a video tutorial.

I hope you liked this blog post. I would love if you posted a link in the comments of you playing this song. Also leave a comment if you would like to learn more songs on piano and maybe I will do another blog post on it. I will see you guys next time.  

Update

I would like to tell you guys that I changed the music player on the top of my blog. I changed the colour from Orange to Purple. I also added new songs like some of the songs I have talked about in my blog posts. I plan on changing my music player ever month or so and hope to add songs from my blog post. If you have any blog suggestions leave them in the comments on any of my blog posts and I will put then in the next time I change my music player. I would also like to say sorry if there are any swears in any of my blog posts or the songs that I use.

Also go to vote on my poll. You have 10 days left to vote.

results of the poll

So I am going to tell you the results of the poll. There was not a lot of votes so maybe next time there will be more votes. The results are... Drum roll please.

There were 3 votes or 60% of the people voted for alternative music. There was one vote or 20% voted for blues and one vote for classical. 

So now I am going to start a new poll. The poll topic is boy bands. What is your favourite boy band from the 80s till now?

When I was growing up, my dad had a truck with a tape player instead of a cd player. One of the cassette tapes he had was one from the backstreet boys. Some of the songs on there were Larger Than Life, I Want it That Way and more. As I got older I start to like a new boy band called the Jonas Brothers. A lot of girls in my class like the band. Now one of the big boy bands today are one direction, 5 seconds of summer, big time rush. I never really like one direction, only a couple of songs when they were first popular but now I don't like them at all. I have to say that I am not really fans of the boy bands except maybe the back street boys.

I know that this weeks post is short but I will try to make it better next week. I would love to hear about what boy bands you like so vote on my poll. See you all next week.

What To Listen To- Wednesday

This week theme is what to listen to. So I am going to show you some songs to listen when you are sad.

The first song is stay by mayday parade. This song to me is about a guy and a girl that had a relationship that was very passionate but ended badly without any type of closure on either end , but now he's having a hard time getting over her, so he shuts off his feelings until he has more control of them. When he does manage to gain control he finds, but then his sadness comes up again and he really misses her. He tells her that he's willing to take her back only if she wants to, but instead she tells him she's does not want any contact with him anymore. Next he explains how he felt he was getting better and her actions are threatening to dampen his mood. He still loves her but has no outlet and regrets the original reason they broke up, and then he says he'd take her back and explains what's become of him and remembers their time they had together. Mayday parade has a lot of sad songs like miserable at best, terrible things and many more. 
I would recommend listening to this song when you are going through a break up. So of you are in a mood to listen to sad songs, listen to Mayday Parade


The next song is I miss you by Miley Cyrus. This song is about Miley's grandpa, Ron Cyrus, who died in 2006. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma and she wanted to write a song for him before he died. This song can relate to anyone who has lost a loved one.

The next song is scars by Papa Roach. This song is about getting tired of trying to fix everyone else's problems, but also having a had time because you care so much. You tear yourself open, so you can heal and be ready to do it for the next time. You can't do it anymore but you still care. You have to tell them, "you fix yourself," even though it is the hardest part. It's about trying to help someone who does not want to take you help but you do it anyways because you care. 

The last song is The Scientist By Coldplay This song is about a scientist who is so caught up in his work that he neglects his girlfriend, but realizes it eventually and wants to "go back to the start" and begin fresh. The music video shows lead singer Chris Martin driving with his girlfriend. They get into an accident, she goes flying through the windshield and dies. Chris just walks out of the car, out of the forest, and into a city. This is all backwards. The video was shot normal direction and then played backwards, while Chris sang the lyrics to the song backwards. This song is about how Chris wishes he could go back to when the first were together and when everything was perfect.


Next week I am going to do the theme plus I am also going to talk about the results from the poll I did last week.
