This is the main riff of the song. It was one of the first songs I learned ever on the piano and it sparked my interest after hearing it on the radio.

    Hey thanks this is a really fun song to play. But I wish I knew the rest. Do you think you could show the rest of it. Watch David Archuleta on you tube playing it. I dont know if he added stuff or if that is how the song is supposed to be played. It sounds really good. Thanks sooooo much. I could’nt do this without you!

    ok soo keep going
    your amazing
    but…..
    you make it easy
    because you have
    the keys letters
    on it. my keyboard doesnt
    and maybe try saying how many
    is inbetween..not octive..not roman
    numerals either 8 or eight or how ever
    many…and your going too fast
    and your hand is usually in the way

    i know your trying
    and yes it is tricky
    but this perticular
    song isnt good
    for a tutorial
    but thanks!

    god bless

    In the verse, the left hand is different. It’s E and B together, then F# and C# together and then E and B together twice.

  27. Maddiekinz-again August 18th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

    he did finsish it people. it’s basically just that over and over again in the song if you actually listened to it.

    anywhoo, you are so amazing! thanks so much!!

    This song is why I decided to take piano classes, but we’re going too slow for my own good. I’ll easily get bored if I don’t get to do things like this…
