30 Day Song Challenge: Day 26: A song that you can play on an instrument

5 05 2011

It’s about time I posted some Muse.  Sure, I’m not a hardcore fan by any means, but I do like a few of their songs, especially since the following:

1. it gives a good name to the awesome instrument known as the piano.  Matthew Bellamy can rock it.  Take that, closed-minded people who think piano is only played by uptight Classical musicians!

2.  Fantastic piano solo.  And a hard one too.

I didn’t want to post a song by Vanessa Carlton since that would be too easy, and though it’s been a while since I’ve played this (I played it again today and it wasn’t the greatest but I got through it), I think it’s something that I’m not really used to playing.  At least I’d say so.





30 Day Song Challenge: Day 23: A song that you want to play at your wedding

2 05 2011

Well, this is an easy one.

At a certain point, the thought of having “Home” by Vanessa Carlton playing at my wedding must’ve entered my mind because I remember vividly and suddenly realizing, “Omg!  I can see it now: a small, classy wedding outside on a sunny day and my husband walking down the aisle (not set in stone!) while Vanessa Carlton is playing.  Ahhh… perfect.”  I can also imagine the piano solo at the end playing during the opening of the wedding too.  Oh, and I sang this to my boyfriend in public at my last show… which I hope he appreciated.

Sometimes I think thinking of my wedding makes me seem super gay… but then I realize it’s not that big a deal and at least I haven’t decided what flowers I want and theme for the wedding should have lots of whites and–

Nevermind.
