Hi, LP members, I want to ask, If there is somebody, who has got piano sheet to this beautiful song ? Thanks
I think he means the Leave Out All The Rest/Shadow of the Day/Iridescent medley. If I'm not mistaken, you play the same chords that you would play in LOATR, in a higher octave.
In the DVD for the making of Minutes To Midnight, Rob plays a short piano riff from a song he had wrote.
Is it something like this? [video=youtube;wMXmQNym-Uo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMXmQNym-Uo[/video] Download it with Youtube to mp3 converter.
You could take a stab at transcribing it yourself (on paper or otherwise) because it can't possibly be that hard. "Leave Out All The Rest" hasn't changed save for being transposed down; the "Shadow" verse and the transition part that introduces it use a new progression, I think, in that same key; IIRC, the "Shadow" chorus progression matches the "Iridescent" chorus progression that comes in later on. I don't remember the key the whole thing is played in so I don't remember which songs are and aren't transposed. I'll listen to the thing and provide the actual progressions later if no-one beats me to that
It's played in A minor. LOATR and Iridescent are in their original keys, SOTD is transposed up half a step. They also tinkered with the SOTD chord progression a little bit, the verses on the album version basically go A minor (8 counts), B minor (8 counts), F (13 counts), G (3 counts), repeat (a "count" being an eighth note in this case). This version goes A minor (8 counts), B minor (4 counts), C (4 counts), F (12 counts), G (4 counts). There's a little "resolution" to the C chord instead of staying on the suspended-sounding B minor, and the F to G move happens an eighth note earlier so everything happens on downbeats. Also, at least some of the F chords are actually Fmaj7. I'm not sure if it happens all the time or not though.
A-minor, hey? Well, then, Chester's much, much better at singing that "Leave Out All The Rest" chorus than he was during 2007-2008. Either that or it's just the minimal instrumentation allowing his voice to properly shine through
I can't transcribe it, because I'm not pianist, it's for my relative, but she is too young, so she can't do it too.
This is what I've done so far in trying to recreate the piano! https://soundcloud.com/zakaria-ahmed/loatr-sotd-iridescent-so-far/s-iXacM Let me know if anything sounds off or if you need the MIDI file. I'll try to create a sheet for you.
