Songs can decidedly assist Clear your day. So if you are the type of individual who tattles to music harmonizing to your humour, you probably have a numerate of

vocals or a special play list that you listen to in ordering to embolden you up at any point in the day. These songs can have rosy music, or can have elating

Lyrics—either way, they can spilled some light to even the worst days, even if momently. Here are some songs with music lyric Poems that can elate your

flavours and your climate. After all, the role of euphony is larger and various, and they can presently serve as an inspiration for anyone who needs it.

“Good Morning Baltimore,” from the liquid Hairspray

Not everyone is into musical theaters or show melodies, but this song is worth hearing to. The introductory song of the sweet (and its posterior movie edition, from

which the sweet was based) is a perfect barrack-upper for people who are down in the shits. The first part of the Lyrics already place inspire: “Hungry for

something that I can’t eat / Then I hear that beat / that rythem of town / starts hauling me down / It’s like a message from high above / Oh,Oh,Oh / Pulling me out to

the smiles and streets that I love.” This was sang by the character Tracy Turnbald, a perky high school student who wants more than what her life offers. “I know

every step, I know every song / I know there’s a place where I belong / You see all those party lights / shinning ahead, so someone invite me before I drop dead,”

the Words sing, advising her emerging success as a local celebrity. “Good Morning Baltimore” has the right mix of cheery Words and bullish euphony that can put a

smile on your face.

“Magical Mystery Tour,” by The Beatles

If sugary music and hot Lyrics do not work for you, then maybe this Beatles basic will. The Beatles have a count of rose-colored and happy songs in their body of

work—“I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” “Yellow Submarine,” and “Twist and Shout.” But “Magical Mystery Tour” has Words and music that ponder the raw and

unexpected talents of this quartette, something that their more polished and achieved songs do not have. Try Out Lyrics: “The magical mystery tour is coming to take

you away, / Coming to take you away. / The magical mystery tour is dying to take you away, /Dying to take you away, take you away.”

“Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” by Bobby Ferrin

What could be more plain than the Lyrics of this 1980s song? It is the first a cappella song to top the Hoarding Hot 100 graphs—it even won vocal of the year during

that year’s Grammy Awards. You wouldn’t know how achieved this song is when you listen to the simple Words of the song (For example, the Words go “Ain’t got

no place to lay your head /Somebody came and took your bed / Don’t worry, be happy / The land lord say your rent is late / He may have to litigate / Don’t worry, be

happy”). The song’s hot Lyric Poems can unquestionably lighten your load!

Christmas Sheet Music is generally like every other kind of sheet music except for one thing; because of the well-known melodies it is more open to re-harmonization. What does that mean exactly? Well, simply by virtue of the fact that everyone knows the melody it’s easier for the piano accompanist to take more harmonic chances.

Christmas songs like Deck the Halls, Jingle Bells, Silent Night and Joy to the World are so entrenched in our consciousness that few people even have to think about the words or the melody. It just comes naturally for most of us, at least in western culture, to sing the lyrics and melodies without any thought at all.

That’s what makes it all the more fun for pianists who accompany carolers to take some really neat harmonic chances with the underlying chords. Generally speaking no matter what you do, and as long as you keep the beat going, no one’s going to get lost.

Christmas sheet music is very often notated with accompanying chord symbols to help pianists make good chord choices. Of course, the more talented the pianist the more interesting the choices. That’s why I like chord symbols on Christmas sheet music because, it gives me a general guide to follow and makes it easier to add more chords to the mix.

How is this done? Let’s take a song like Jingle Bells for example. If we’re in the key of F, the basic chord symbols at the chorus are as follows;

| F | | | | Bb | F | C7 | |

| F | | | | Bb | F | C7 | F |

Now, how would one approach re-harmonizing this very simple chord progression? Most jazz players would know the answer to that question but for everyone else the trick lies in something we call the 2-5-1 progression or II V I. This basically means that in front of every landing chord we can put a II V progression with the one (I) being the landing chord or destination chord.

If in the chord progression above you were to put a II V in front of the Bb landing chord you would get a whole new sound. What is a II V? In the scale of Bb (our landing chord) C is the second note of the scale and F is the fifth note of the scale. Therefore the chord progression would be C F Bb. However, because the second chord of the Bb scale is a C minor chord the progression would be notated like this |C- | F | Bb|.

Would you like to try something a bit trickier? Try adding sevenths to each chord. That means add a seventh interval, either major or minor 7th to each chord as reflected by the Bb major scale. Therefore the final II V I progression, with Bb as the landing chord, would be notated as |C-7| F7 | BbM7|.

So how would the chorus of Jingle Bells be notated if you used II V’s in front of each landing chord? Like this;

| F | | |C-7 F7 | BbM7 | F | G-7 | C7 |

| F | | |C-7 F7 | BbM7 | F | G-7 C7 | FM7 |

As you can likely hear if you play these chords on the piano it makes the progression seem much more interesting and rich. So, the next time you pick up a sheet of Christmas music have a look at the landing chords and see if you can’t put a II V in front of them. You’re music will have so much extra color to it and everyone will marvel at your new found ability. Merry Christmas Sheet Music Everyone!
