The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel - Piano solo arrangement Pasi Heiskanen 2023-03-24 | Sheet music: sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/1803519/Product.aspxThe message of ”The Sound Of Silence” draws heart breaking picture of loneliness and depression. Still, decades after its release the message is very current: ”—And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made —” So I’d say the song - today - is about the addiction to mobile devices and alienation caused by it.Lyrics:Hello darkness, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again. Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping. And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains, within the sound of silence.In restless dreams I walked alone - narrow streets of cobblestone. ’Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp. When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night - And touched the sound of silence.And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never shared. And no one dared disturb the sound of silence.”Fools” said I, ”You do not know. Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you.” But my words, like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence.And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming. Then the sign said, ”The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls. In tenement halls”, and whispered in the sound of silence.

Imagine, John Lennon // Piano Solo Pasi Heiskanen 2022-03-30 | Pianote 40 Pieces Challenge 2022 #13I froze for a moment but didn't manage to ruin the song totally. However there's no reason for me to sob for my piano playing disabilities because there are so many other things totally fucked up in this world. I''ll never be able to play well enough to fix all the wrongs - still wishing for world peace.I was not able to connect with the calmness of the song. During the practises I got frustrated and desperate, almost angry, because the song made made me thinking about these restless times. Felt like I want to rise up and go to the battlefields! Yeah... and this is a song for peace. I was not able to imagine it, nope, that was not my mental state.

بنی آدم (Bani Adam) - Coldplay // Pianote 40 Pieces Challenge 2022 #8 Pasi Heiskanen 2022-03-02 | Normally I would polish this one for two weeks at least but I am really beginning to feel the results of the core idea of the 40 pieces challenge: the more you read music and just play it, the easier it gets. A couple of months ago it would not have been possible for me to learn this in just one week! "Quantity over quality" seems to work, so instead of polishing minor problems I will start with a new song :-)But about the song... it is based on a poem which verses decorate the walls of the United Nations building in New York:Human beings are members of a whole,in creation of one essence and soul.If one member is afflicted with pain,other members uneasy will remain.If you have no sympathy for human pain,the name of human you cannot retain.
