Cool pop songs everyone knows, solo piano, relaxing piano chill.

Piano Chill Takin' The Edge Off

LYRICS:
Once upon another age
We were shadows on the wall
Write our story on the page
Cite the cruelty of it all

I had nothing but my name
When you met me in the hall
Your face burning like a flame
My heart learning how to fall

I've seen your fear
Love could prevail
But I dream too, dear
We both are frail

You'll find me dancing in the demimonde
I cast my heart upon the sea
You told me love would always carry on
But love is not enough for me

Foolishly, we were enthralled
Everything began to gleam
All this haste to see me fall
Would you waste another scene

Wretched hours of the night
They belong to us alone
I won't plead to make this right
We don't need to make it home

I know your fear
Love could prevail
I'll show you, here
We both are frail

I have seen the light again
It faded in your eyes
If you stay until the end
Then I will keep your lies

And the crystal that you shatter
Would shine brightly in a ring
Could you tell me that I matter
Even after everything

You'll find me dancing in the demimonde
I cast my heart upon the sea
Then told my lover he could sail upon
The tide that turns away from me

What is left to fill your cup
Bittersweet this shade of green
Take your grief and drink it up
Find relief there in a dream

If I pass you in the street
Or you see me on the stage
Lay your flowers at my feet
Press our hours in a page

I've seen your fear
Love could prevail
But I dream too, dear
We both are frail

When we were dancers in the demimonde
There was a moment I was free
Now I wonder at the days long gone
And if you still remember me

I will be dancing in the demimonde
Until the night falls on the sea
Without an answer I will carry on
Some things are never meant to be

NOTES:
Demimonde:
French, literally ‘half-world’. (in 19th-century France)
The class of women considered to be of doubtful morality and social standing. A group of people considered to be on the fringes of respectable society.

Alexandre Dumas coined.
He wrote La Dame aux Camélias, (the basis for the movie Moulin Rouge)inspired by Marie Duplessis.

They also talk about the demimonde in Penny Dreadful (the tv show that quotes poetry). 

Anyway this song has a whole narrative thing happening. 
I might post that on my blog when I actually post my blog.

Learning How To Love Me
(May 7/Week 44)
CAPO 5 F, C, Am, G
5.13.23

VERSE
every day i get to decide
the clothes on my body
and the words inside my mind 

when did i start telling myself lies 
of all the things to think 
why am i unkind 

PRE
push and fight
strike a match to burn out every time 
i know i’m not far behind
but my mind tells me otherwise 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me

VERSE
i’m standing tall 
i’m standing up high 
watching my thoughts like clouds in the sky 
and i know that it gets cold when the suns gone 
but i can always dance and let the storm rage on 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not

and i’m learning all her triggers
all the ways she copes
when she’s in the dark 
picking up her phone 

and when it gets hard
to like what i see
i remind myself 
i’m just learning
yeah learning how to 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me



to face herself 

 but my mind likes to tell me otherwise

learning how to love me

Wonderwall, cool song from Oasis.  Most pop songs don't sound great just played on a piano, but I could do some interesting things with this one, turned out well!  All of my music is interesting, take a listen, I have a lot on all platforms.  Enjoy!

Wonderwall-Oasis- Piano Cover- Jenny Brown

A lively baroque-influenced duet for two pianos. It is in binary form and modulates from E minor to Bb Major to A minor before returning to E Minor. The time signature is 14/16, subdivided into 6 and 8 beats.

Great late 80's classic song by Tracy Chapman, recently revived by Luke Combs on the pop/country charts.  Repetitive song, lyric driven, but was able to make it interesting, with just piano.  Was one of the early songs to get critical acclaim for a female songwriter and performer.

Nice piano version of Creep.  Radiohead typically doesn't write a lot of songs like this, but it's pretty and has brought curious listeners to hear more of their music.  Simple tune, but easy on the ear &  I think relatable to most people.  At one time or another, we have probably all felt inferior to others that we want to be close to.

Decent piano version of Miley Cyrus pop song, Flowers.  Not all pop songs sound good with just piano, but this came out nice.

Don't Start Now by Dua Lipa was a cool hit and put her on the map, I love her music, not all sounds good played as a piano solo.  This song has a pop-disco beat, really cool and was fun to play.

K G G - Treacherous Territory

Oceans x The Truth - Christian Piano

Cool 80's classic, very nice version, sounds really good on piano.  One of the songs that I get the most plays on.
