AhDoe – Music as an International Language

Do I still need to elaborate more on this song?

Don’t think so…because this is one of the popular requests by many people out there. Those who requested this should know this song better than me.

Aiyoyo, this is already the third Corrinne May’s song that I’ve transcribed into piano sheet. What an interesting numbering…my third Corrinne May song transcription and it’s called Love Song for #1! (Maybe we can buy a combination of 1 and 3 for the Toto hor?)

As usual, her songs are more difficult for me to jot down because it’s too pure. If I simply fill in the notes by my own creativity, smart people like you guys will be able to tell easily. Therefore, I’ve tried my best to keep this transcription as original as possible.

After the repetitive “Umbrella, ela, ela eh”, finally Rihanna is not stuck at the same word anymore.

Just kidding…

If you tune into radio now, you might hear Rihanna’s new song – Take a Bow! Just only few months after releasing her latest album called Good Girl Gone Bad, Take a Bow is already in the Billboard Chart. This Barbados borned young lady is incredibly powerful!

Please don’t get confused by another song by Madonna of the same name, by the way.

Again, a tribute from Ah Doe this time, the piano sheet of Rihanna’s Take a Bow:

This is written at the original key, E Major. You may find the piano chords and lyrics in the piano sheet as well. Difficulty level is moderate because the accompaniment is always repeating.

Sorry…not this Yoga…

Yoga Lin (林宥嘉)’s Latest Album – Mysterious Guest (神秘嘉宾)

I knew Yoga Lin through the Taiwan Star Search Show, but his fame is still slightly behind Xiao Jing Teng (萧敬腾) and Jerry Yang (杨宗纬), until I listen to his songs through Yes933 lately.

Wow…his voice is the best instrument of all musical instruments I can find in the arrangement. Just one thing that he can still improve: his gesture and pose. Did you notice that he’d swing like a monkey when he is singing happier songs? Nah nah nah…this could have spoilt his stage show.

Back to the topic…this song is requested by a reader.

Hi Ah Doe,

Hello! I am a reader of you website- ahdoe.com! Thank You so much for sharing with us so many piano scores. Do you listen to Lin You Jia’s songs?I feel that he is very talented! Do you have any of his piano scores??

The songs that I like are:
伯乐
我爱的人
那首歌
心有林夕
残酷月光
神秘嘉宾

Thanks to this reader, I managed to focus on Yoga’s album with your recommendation and amazingly, I found his album much better than Jerry Yang’s (No bad feelings, just being honest…).

To satisfy his request, I’ve chosen to transcribe Yoga Lin’s “伯乐” (A talent scout, pronounced as “Bo Le”) and upload the piano sheet here. Part of the reason is because I like its melody as well.

This piano sheet is based on the song’s original key. If you can sing it, congratulation! You have the pitch range of Yoga’s!

The chorus, also the beginning verse is always in G Major, other than that, the song is in E Major. Just remember to pay attention at the key signature as it may switch suddenly.

Lyrics, chords included, as usual, for the convenience of all…

Many people came across my site because of Corrinne May‘s songs. Since I started this site, I happened to know about this talented singer/ composer and blogged about her. Never did I expect after transcribing her On the Side of Me and posted on my blog, I keep on receiving comments and suggestions to come up with her other songs.

Actually, transcribing Corrinne May’s song is relatively difficult. Unlike other songs, Corrinne May’s songs are very sentimental, soft and instrumental. It’s really near to unplugged performance. Therefore I tried my best to produce the utmost original transcription that I can.

This time, the long waited “The Birthday Song” from Corrinne May is finally available. Seems that this is the most anticipated piano sheet after “On the Side of Me”. I know that there are more, and maybe not this one. So many requests, but really, I can only do them one by one…

By the way, any volunteers to help me out?

 
Corrinne May – The Birthday Song Piano Sheet Preview

The piano sheet is designed in 2 sections: The main melody and the piano accompaniment. It’s very useful if you can play and sing at the same time. I’ve added the piano tabs and lyrics as well, again, a very good indicator to follow the music.

A brief summary of this piano sheet:

1. Piano sheet is in its original key, i.e. G Major
2. Lyrics and piano chords included
3. Main melody and piano accompaniment separated

You may find the piano sheet at the end of this post. Do download it and enjoy. This is one of my favourite works, not difficult and yet it sounds very professional.

Hey, you know? Next time, you can celebrate Birthdays with this song apart from the traditional one!

I just don’t know why, Kenji Wu (吴克群) sparked conflicts in the entertainment industry several times, ending up being accused of copying others’ music and lack of creativity. Rumours said that Jay Chou rallied Kenji on his music due to this reason.

Well, rumour is rumour. We shall separate personally feelings and music before going deeper into the discussion.

 
I am Kenji

Ironically, Writing a Poem for You (为你写诗) does not sound so nice when I first listened to it. It was nice, I mean, but is not nice enough to be recommended. The creative part of this song is to insert a piano piece that sounds like a “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” concerto as the bridge halfway. Jay has done this several times if we want to compare.

However, the MTV of this song does not look so bad.

Unlike those legendary crystal grand piano that was showcased in Jay’s live concert, Kenji chose this yellow-painted upright piano….which looks a little more special than the dull pianos we used to see.

By the way, if I am not wrong, this is a German made Hoffman Piano.

I have done the piano sheet for Kenji’s Writing a Poem for You as well.

Information about this piano sheet:

1. Piano sheet designed in original key, i.e. C Major, then D major upon transposition
2. Lyrics and chords included
3. Take note of the sudden change of tempo in the middle part, the “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” concerto part. I’ve added indicators like accelerando, a tempo, diminuendo etc.

I suppose guitar players will have fun with this song because the song starts with pure guitar accompaniment at the beginning. The presence of chords helps, so I’d suggest guitarist to play this.
