Twenty-Two and a Half Reasons Not to Leave (Original Composition) Andrew Hess 2016-12-24 | This is one of five songs I composed with the intent of using them in a short musical about the Ann Arbor Pioneer High School band camp experience. The musical was never written or performed, but I thought I would record this song because it was through this song in particular that I tried to capture the nostalgia of my band camp experiences and the longing one feels when a fantastic experience is about to come to an end.This is just the piano accompaniment. At some point in the future I may record the vocals too. The (work in progress) lyrics are as follows:I’ve got to live in the momentBut the moment’s almost goneAnd I don’t want this to end so soon‘cause I’ve got twenty-two and a halfreasons not to leave…PG movies I’ve already seen,Making sure the freshmen clean,Meeting kids and making friendsThat I never want to leavePolar bear, that icy thrill (Live in the moment)I look like a boss at marching drills (Live in the here and now)I drink chocolate milk at every mealWe’ve got twenty-two and a halfReasons not to leave.We’ve got to live in the momentAnd we’ve done more than I could ever believeAnd there’ll be thousands more moments just like thisBut still there’re twenty-two and a halfReasons not to leave.

For Good piano cover Andrew Hess 2016-11-13 | For Good composed by Stephen Schwartz, from the musical WickedI made this video several years ago thinking I would record vocals over it but never actually got around to doing that.

This Is Clark Kent on Piano Andrew Hess 2013-12-01 | This is my cover of "This Is Clark Kent" from the Man of Steel soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. I haven't bought the Man Of Steel songbook yet, so this was done by ear. If anyone would like the sheet music, feel free to email me at andrewlhess@gmail.com.For this video I tried using multiple tracks for the first time. I might do this again in future videos. The biggest mistake I made was recording the drums after the piano, but by the time I finished recording both I didn't feel like going back and doing it over again.Hopefully at some point in the future, I'll upload a longer Man Of Steel video, but with all the homework I'm busy with it might be a while.
