    A Thousand Miles lyrics:
    INTRO: 0:49
    VERSE 1: 3:46
    Makin' my way downtown
    Walkin' fast, faces pass
    And I'm homebound
    Starin' blankly ahead
    Just makin' my way
    Makin' a way through the crowd
    PRE-CHORUS 1: 5:58
    And I need you
    And I miss you
    And now I wonder
    CHORUS 1: 7:43
    If I could fall into the sky
    Do you think time would pass me by?
    'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
    If I could just see you
    Tonight
    POST-CHORUS 1:
    VERSE 2:
    It's always times like these when I think of you
    And I wonder if you ever think of me
    'Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong
    Livin' in your precious memory
    PRE-CHORUS 2:
    Cause I'll need you
    And I'll miss you
    And now I wonder
    CHORUS 2:
    If I could fall into the sky
    Do you think time would pass me by?
    Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
    If I could just see you
    Tonight
    POST-CHORUS 2: 10:08
    BRIDGE: 11:28
    I, I don't wanna let you know
    I, I drown in your memory
    I, I don't wanna let this go
    I, I don't
    VERSE 3:
    Makin' my way downtown
    Walkin' fast, faces pass
    And I'm homebound
    Starin' blankly ahead
    Just makin' my way
    Makin' a way through the crowd
    PRE-CHORUS 3:
    And I still need you
    I still miss you
    And now I wonder
    CHORUS 3:
    If I could fall into the sky
    Do you think time would pass us by?
    'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
    If I could just see you
    CHORUS 4 / OUTRO: 13:02
    If I could fall into the sky
    Do you think time would pass me by?
    'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
    If I could just see you
    If I could just hold you
    Tonight

    it took me a whole day to learn just the 1st part lol ... and by learn, I mean understanding the keys to press and the timing they need to be pressed... all I need to do now is to execute them, at the right speed, with both hands, but will try and practice it tomorrow because my right hand no longer listens to me anymore 😂😂😂
    thank you for this tutorial ☺

  • @KellygenXYZ
    @KellygenXYZ 2 роки тому +3

    Very clear - thank you so much! This made the tune very quick and easy to learn. I wish I could sing it in this key but I'm having to transpose it down a major 3rd for my voice. I needed some faster tunes for my solo gigs and this is perfect for the places I play. I will keep an eye out for your tutorials in the future because trying to buy sheet music for pop tunes seems silly, and they are usually wrong anyway.

  • @shknhz

    I remember few months ago when I watched my kpop boy [Haechan of NCT] play this and i was like "damn i want to play it too" even tho i cant play a single song in the piano but look at me now, I can finally play A thousand miles [tho i need to practice a lil bit more so i can perfect it] and it is all thanks to you, Madam. Thank you for this tutorial, it helps me A LOT. You are a blessing to beginners like me who cant afford proper piano lessons 😂

  • @lawrencetaylor4101
    @lawrencetaylor4101 2 роки тому +2

    Merci beaucoup. I'm only a beginner, but I stumbled across this song again, and this will be one of the first I will learn. I came across a video which said that Chopin said C Major was the hardest scale for a beginner to learn since there are no landmarks. He started his students on B Major, then Gb Major and Db Major. He showed that the black keys match exactly the hand and it shouldn't be something to be scared of. So I had some practice on the B scale, and now I am motivated. This is a great tutorial. I've subbed to your channel and appreciate the efforts you have made.

    • @BitesizePiano
      @BitesizePiano  2 роки тому +1

      I don't agree with that at all. When I teach scales, I also teach the theory behind them. I feel that asking a complete beginner to navigate between the black and white keys is trickier, as well as explaining WHY B major has 5 sharps is completely overwhelming for a beginner. I can see where that person (and Chopin, if that's true) is coming from, as B major isn't a difficult scale - but from a beginners understanding I don't feel it's the best scale to learn FIRST. You don't learn how to read music in B major, you generally begin reading the white notes (C major/A minor) and then gradually introduce other key signatures. There's no point learning B major scale as a beginner if you're not going to learn pieces of music in the key of B major... 😐 C major BY FAR is the easiest scale to learn as you just need to know where C is and play all the white keys, not thinking about the black keys yet.

    • @lawrencetaylor4101
      @lawrencetaylor4101 2 роки тому +1

      I have followed the classic approach so of course I played the white notes to start with. But the advantage was that after trying B Major, I lost my fear of black notes.

    Hi, thanks so much for this video! I have a question, in the very intro, when do you start playing the left hand notes? Like which left hand note should fall on which right hand note? I'm not sure how you're coordinating it. Thanks very much!
