Hi everyone :)
I'm really, really happy to share these piano arrangements from @paramore's stunning record 'This Is Why'. If you've been following my channel for a while, you'll know it's no secret how much Paramore have inspired me throughout my life.
They're the sole reason I started this channel, I've been arranging their music since I was a kid, and I just recently turned 30 which is such a wild concept...Their music has been with me through all my highs, and lows, and they've just remained a constant at every key stage in my life. They often say how they've grown up with their fans and I couldn't relate to this more. When I first started arranging, I wasn't particularly good, but I've forever strived to improve where I can. It's wild to think how some of my earlier arrangements sound from the early days, compared to where I'm at now. It's always a work in progress, so I feel growth with them also manifests creatively for me which has been such a privilege.
Arranging their music feels like home, and is truly one of my favourite things to do. I've been so lucky to have their support in the past, but also to have the support of you all here means the absolute world to me.
This Is Why is such an intricate and detailed record, it was absolutely incredible to pick out as many parts as I could and arrange it for the piano. It's truly been a pleasure, and I've always been inspired by Hayley, Taylor and Zac's work. 'This Is Why' is my personal favourite Paramore record to date. I used to have a dream of playing on stage with them when I was a kid, even if I could just hit one note on the keys I'd be so grateful! But yeah, the older I get the more I think that'll stay a dream, but it's still a dream I'll hold on to.
If anyone has continued to listen to my Paramore arrangements through the years, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I do this because I absolutely adore it, and a huge thank you to Paramore for being such a huge inspiration, for creating the beautiful art you make, for being such a huge part of mine and so many other peoples lives, and for sticking it out through the highs and lows no mater what. We're all on this journey together.

#Paramore #ThisIsWhyThick Skull (Piano Version) ~ Paramore ~ by Sam YungSamYungOfficial2023-02-19 | The perfect album closer, 'Thick Skull' is another favorite (I hate saying favorite because the whole album is pretty much my favorite). The build up is so beautiful in this song, with the ending, Hayley's soaring vocals, T's driving guitar and Zac's drums just really round up the album in the most stunning way. I hope you guys like this arrangement!Big Man, Little Dignity (Piano Version) ~ Paramore ~ by Sam YungSamYungOfficial2023-02-13 | Another favourite of mine from 'This Is Why'. It's just such a beautifully written song musically and lyrically. I adore the woodwind intro and it really reminded me of the main theme from Ocarina of Time in the best way, I kind of lost my shit when I heard it to be honest. I'm not sure it's a direct reference or intentional but I just thought it was so cool. May have snuck a bit in this arrangement ;)
I hope you guys enjoy this, and you owe it to yourself to stream 'This Is Why'. It's a phenomenal record.Liar (Piano & String Version) ~ Paramore ~ by Sam YungSamYungOfficial2023-02-11 | 'This Is Why' is finally here!! I can't tell you how good it feels to have a new Paramore album alive in the world, I know it's been a long but worth it wait for this incredible record. I just can't sum up in words how much I adore this record with my whole heart, it's sonically incredible with Hayley, Taylor and Zac giving it their absolute everything.
I've been covering and arranging their music for a good while now, and many of you know it's how I started YouTube. I owe everything to Paramore and I'm infinitely grateful to them for inspiring me creatively since I was a literally a child, and this just really feels like a full circle moment.
'Liar' struck me so hard when I first heard it, and gave me chills. Such a beautifully written song, and cemented itself as my favourite from the record when I first heard it.
I made this arrangement as a tribute to this song, and to Paramore for just being such a huge constant in my life for nearly the past 2 decades. I hope you guys enjoy this arrangement and are enjoying 'This Is Why'. It's truly a gift.
PARAMORE: paramore.netKill Bill (Piano & String Instrumental) ~ SZA ~ by Sam YungSamYungOfficial2023-01-06 | Absolutely adore this song and wanted to do a little instrumental piano and string arrangement vibe. Hope you guys enjoy this, SZA is such a talent!My Son (Piano & String short cover) ~ Guillermo del Toros Pinocchio ~ by Sam YungSamYungOfficial2023-01-02 | Happy New Year everyone! New Years is always a funny time of year. It brings excitement, anxiety and all kinds of emotions. I really enjoyed Guillermo del Toro's version of 'Pinocchio' and one of the quotes really resonated with me. 'I'll try my best, and that's the best anyone can do'. I'll be taking this energy into 2023. For all listeners and supporters of my music out there who've been there from the start, thank you, and to anyone who's recently heard any of my music, welcome. I'm looking forward to see what 2023 brings!The News (Piano Version) ~ Paramore ~ by Sam YungSamYungOfficial2022-12-08 | I can't begin to tell you how good it feels to have new Paramore. I think it's no secret how much of a fan I am of their music, they're pretty much the whole reason I started making music, they've inspired me in every aspect of music and I just love them so much. I started on YouTube when I was a teenager because of them. As soon as I heard the news, I got the usual rush their music evokes, as well as the inspiration and really wanted to create a piano arrangement that showcases incredible musicianship and songwriting. I honestly had the most fun arranging in a long, long time making this. It was a pleasure. Shout out to the OG's who recognise a few musical references from the past in this one ;) No-one does it like Paramore. They'll have my heart forever. #Paramore #TheNews #thisiswhy

#overwatch #overwatch2 #kiriko #piano #pianomusicThis Is Why (Piano Version) ~ Paramore ~ by Sam YungSamYungOfficial2022-09-29 | Phew, yesterday was such a huge moment for me. Paramore are back with their new single, 'This Is Why'. A band who have inspired me, a band I grew up with, a band I'll eternally be grateful for. I can't begin to tell you guys just how much this band means to me, and how much they've inspired the person I am today, but also the music I make.
I had so much nostalgia creating this. I always used to literally die of excitement whenever new Paramore would drop and I'd spend all day absorbing listening to the craft that goes into each and every one of their songs. This one is for you Hayley, Taylor and Zac. It's so good to have you back. Thank you.
