Brown Eyed Girls – Sign (piano cover)
One of my favorite songs from BEG. It’s so catchy. I love BEG. Especially after watching the Adam Couple on WGM
I messed up by playing it a bit too fast I think. But I still decided to upload it since I’m too lazy to record again.

Week 37/52: There is a magic made by melody – A spell of rest, and quiet breath.
Self portrait last week. Taken for Flickr’s “Theme of the Week“. The theme was fashion statements. I’m not sure if this counts as a fashion statement, but it’s the best I could come up with XD I’ve been having a hard time coming up with ideas again.
Title came from Elizabeth Bishop’s Sonnet (1928).

Starlight Tears (Boys Over Flowers OST) : my piano cover
Old video that I never had the chance to upload. I shot and edited this over a month ago. The song’s easy to learn since it’s pretty repetitive, but it still took me many takes before I was able to play the entire thing without messing up too badly.
Such a sad yet beautiful song.
I miss Boys Over Flowers!
Fly Me to the Moon – played by Lui
It’s been a while since I last saw Lui (or “Marvin” – that’s what his friends call him now). I used to see him a lot since we live in the same area and we had the same piano teacher. I used to pick him up from his house so we could attend our lessons together. But ever since he started college, I don’t really see much of him anymore.
We ran into each other the other day at UPD and he showed me around the College of Music. We found an old piano so he played a few songs for me
Thanks Lui!
Lovely Day (Park Shin Hye) : You’re Beautiful OST – piano cover
I’ve already mentioned in my previous entries how much I love the entire “You’re Beautiful” soundtrack, but “Lovely Day” is definitely one of my favorites. I don’t know why, I just feel happy whenever I listen to it
Maybe it’s the bouncy melody, or Park Shin Hye’s adorable voice, or the fact that it reminds me of so many sweet scenes from the series.
I actually have two videos of me playing this song. The one above is the first one I recorded, but I forgot that my camera was set to low so the video quality turned out terrible. I decided to post it anyway since the audio is pretty decent. So instead of seeing my hands you guys get to stare at the A.N.Jell members XD
Although I played it a bit fast, I like this version better since I made more mistakes on the other video.
If (for some reason) you guys want to watch the version where you can see my hands, here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E9kc1sI24I
Sheets available here: Lovely Day Sheets
Here are some pictures of the A.N.Jell members for you to look at while you listen to the song XD
Cute Jeremy and Tae Kyung
Awwww~
One of my favorite scenes in the series
Look at Shin Woo’s face! LOL
Jeremy and Shin Woo
Tae Kyung and Mi Nam – so cute!
A.N.Jell doing weird things
I suddenly want to watch the entire series again~
Without Words (my piano cover) : You’re Beautiful OST
Its been 10 months since I last uploaded a video on youtube. I haven’t really had time to learn new songs lately. But since classes are mostly over, I’ve had a bit of free time the past week. Recently I’ve been addicted to the Korean series “You’re Beautiful”, and its soundtrack. I found some sheet music online and decided to learn a few songs.
Not perfect of course, I just got my hands on this piece recently and haven’t really had that much time to learn it. I recorded myself while practicing so I could listen to myself, and I think this came out pretty decent, so I decided to upload it. Made a couple of mistakes along the way though, especially towards the end.
Got the sheets HERE
(I made a few minor changes)
This song, “Without Words”, is fairly simple due to the repeating melody, but I really love it. In the series, it was written by Hwang Tae Kyung and sung by Go Mi Nam. The lyrics are of course in Korean, but the the copy I watched provided the translation in the subs.
English lyrics:
I shouldnt have done that,
I should have pretended not to know
like I didnt see it, like I couldnt see it
I shouldnt have looked at you in the first place
I should have run away,
I should have pretended I wasnt listening
like I didnt hear it, like I couldnt hear it
I shouldnt have heard your love in the first place
Without a word you made me know love
Without a word you gave me love
Because you took just a breath and ran away like this
Without a word love leaves me
Without a word love abandons me
Wondering what to say next, my lips were surprised
Because it came without a word.
Why does it hurt so much?
Why does it hurt continuously?
Except for the fact that I can’t see you anymore
And that you’re not here anymore
Otherwise it’s the same as before
Without a word you made me know love
Without a word you gave me love
Because you took just a breath and ran away like this
Without a word love leaves me
Without a word love abandons me
Wondering what to say next, my lips were surprised

Please pardon the colored/decorated nails, I know some pianists are offended by this. Back when I took lessons, I always kept my nails “clean” because I didn’t want to be told off by my piano teacher. But these days I hardly play piano and I don’t take lessons anymore, so there’s really no reason for me not to decorate my nails.
You can’t really see the nail art clearly in the video, so here’s what they look like up close:

The dots on my left thumb are pretty messed up. It was the first one I decorated, so I was still unsure about the design I wanted, and it ended up looking weird.
I used my black nail polish, white nail art pen and gold nail stickers for this (all from Etude House of course XD).
