Adele – Someone Like You Piano Chords
Musicnotes and the melancholy ballad “Someone like you” by Adele is a conglomeration of woeful lyrics coupled with a battle of agonizing largo tempos and dramatic adagio stanzas. The slow and remorseful pace that carries this singer throughout the piece emphasizes the agony filled words. The music crescendos and begins to accelerando as the singer … Continue reading
SLEIGH RIDE by LEROY ANDERSON -=SheetMusic=-
One of my favorite times of year is Christmas and listening to all the wonderful Christmas music and carols certainly is a wonderful way to bring back the nostalgic and fond memories of childhood. In fact, the music of Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson is absolutely one of my favorite pieces. You can get the … Continue reading
WINTER WONDERLAND by DARLENE LOVE
I enjoyed this rendition of Winter Wonderland. It remained fairly true to the classic version adding a 1960s sassy. Darlene Love took the song’s sheetmusic and added a tolerable dash of Rock and Roll for an american audience that grew up listening to a far more sedate, and at times apathetic version of the song. … Continue reading
THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY by HARRY SIMEONE CHORALE -=SheetMusic=-
The Harry Simeone Chorale’s version of “The Little Drummer Boy” has a great epic nature to it that completely fits the Christmas season it is a part of. There is a strong sense of emotion in the voices found within the sections of the choir, particularly the women’s section. The men’s choir, which provides the … Continue reading
LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW by FRANK SINATRA -=SheetMusic=-
As with all Frank Sinatra songs, “Let it Snow” features his amazing, richly developed voice. The deep nature of his voice gives the music a particularly timeless glow that wonderfully suits the Christmas period. While I have tried many times to sing this song with my cocoa in my hand and the sheetmusic in front … Continue reading
GOD REST YE MERRY, GENTLEMEN by MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER
I have listened to a number of Christmas songs as of late, and I find that one of the most offensive is “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by Manheleim Steamroller. Their over the top epic nature makes the music less important than the theatrics. This song, while beautiful in its own right, should remain the … Continue reading
ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE by BRENDA LEE -=SheetMusic=-
Brenda Lee’s low down country twang is what makes her version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” such a great treat during the holidays. I find is as sweet as many of the other holiday tunes that make their way onto my radio, but it stands out because of her deep, southern voice. There is … Continue reading
WINTER WONDERLAND by KENNY G -=SheetMusic
Kenny G’s “Winter Wonderland” is a soothing, smooth jazz version of the holiday staple. I enjoy it for his excellent saxophone playing. He does not elaborate much on the melody, but occasionally there are small flourishes that give a strong sense of winter weather and fireplace light that is unique to his style. I have … Continue reading
Bridge Of Light -=Pink=- -=SheetMusic=-
Pink’s “Bridge of Light” is a moving pop ballad. Her voice has a smoky ethereal nature that helps convey the emotions of her words. Her voice is reinforced by a second tracking of her voice, lower, and reverberating below the main vocal mix. This gives the song a sense of depth and space that it … Continue reading
JINGLE BELL ROCK by BOBBY HELMS -=SheetMusic=- thoughts
“Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms is an old time classic. I have enjoyed this Christmas song for as long as I have been alive. The jaunty bells are a great accompaniment to the topic of the lyrics and the wintry feeling of the song. The lyrics evoke unique, Christmas time images, particularly the “Jingle … Continue reading
WINTER WONDERLAND by EURYTHMIC -=SheetMusic=- thoughts
The Eurythmics version of “Winter Wonderland” begins in an interesting, dark, tempestu ous electronic intro with Annie Lennox’s vocals reciting lyrics that are not in the rest of the well known song. This C hristmas song is unlike any other I have heard. When the song becomes recognizable, the electronic beat that drives the music … Continue reading
5 O’Clock by T-pain -=SheetMusic=- Thoughts
I have a hard time calling T-Pain music. While he uses some interesting instrumentation, all of his music, including “5 O’Clock” is difficult to listen to because it relies entirely on the vocoder effects he uses. If this was used on occasion, I wouldn’t find it too difficult to listen to, but because it is … Continue reading
“Life’s a Happy Song by The Muppets -=SheetMusic=- Thoughts
“Life’s a Happy Song” by the Muppets makes me Happy. I like the lyrics, particularly the positive attitude. The images are good, and I enjoy the back and forth between the vocalists. The song speaks to a sentimental time that makes me think of the times I watched the Muppets as a young child. This … Continue reading
THE FIRST NOEL by KARLA BONOF -=SheetMusic=-
I remember quite well a time fifty plus years ago, when I stood on a stage with classmates and sang the words and notes of The First Noel. Today, it would be almost impossible to find the sheetmusic for that song in any public school. I was reminded of that fact, when I asked my … Continue reading
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS by CARPENTERS -=SheetMusic=-
I find the Carpenters’ version of “(There’s No Place Like) Home for the Holidays” to be a particularly moving rendition of the classic. Karen Carpenter’s voice is rich and vibrant, and the arrangement makes great use of the sheetmusic. It is a strong Christmas song to being with, but the melody dances during the chorus, … Continue reading
HAPPY XMAS(WAR IS OVER) by JOHN LENNON -=SheetMusic=- thoughts
Happy Xmas (War is Over) just so happens to be one of my favorite Christmas songs, and not just because I am a big fan of the Beatles, and especially John Lennon. The song was released in 1971 as a single, and although it failed to chart in the US, it has rightly become a … Continue reading

I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS by BING CROSBY -=SheetMusic=-
One of the all time great Christmas songs, this has been covered by just about everyone, although in my opinion, nobody sings it like the great Bing Crosby. Like most seasonal songs, it has all the usual images in it, including a Christmas tree, mistletoe, snow and presents, but it also has a rather poignant … Continue reading
Sleigh Ride by -=RONETTES=- SheetMusic
I just listened to the song “Sleigh Ride” by Ronettes. I thought the music group was very good and it got me into the Christmas mood. I found out that they released the song in 1963 and that it is one of the most popular modern Christmas songs. The music was composed by Leroy Anderson … Continue reading
River by -=Joni Mitchell=- SheetMusic thoughts
Joni Mitchell is an interesting recording artist who sends a deep message through her music. The sheetmusic may contain the notes, but the song’s theme left a deep impression upon me. I feel that she is talking about getting away from all the troubles that are taking place in this world. She points out all … Continue reading
I want a hippopotamus for christmas by -=Gayla Peevey=-
I just love i want a hippopotamus for christmas. A lot of my friends give me funny looks when I turn this up, but I think it is one of the most fun songs on the radio at Christmas time. I have even tried to find the sheet music for it, as well, so I … Continue reading
