I want to sing a vocal song along with me playing the piano. What`s a good song to sing and play? I don`t want my playing to overshadow my singing too much. Anyone have any ideas? Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks~

Forgot to add -- I don`t want the piano right or left hand to mimic the notes I`m singing ^^; any ideas? Thanks!

I suggest you take something of Coldplay`s... A really good one (and easy to find) is The Scintist.
Here`s a link: http://w3m.fateback.com/sheets/scientist.pdf
If you haven`t heard this song before I strongly recommend that you do... It`s wonderful and not too hard at the same time
Unfortunately the melody is played using the right hand, but it` not particularly important since the chords in the left hand are more noticeable.
Basically, anything of Coldplay`s is good.
At the moment I`m also running a search on Aqualung`s Strange and Beautiful, but I can`t find it anywhere... It`s also an incredbly beautiful song.

Thanks for your (only) reply. I was thinking Alicia Key`s - Never Felt This Way (Interlude) but I want something harder and longer. It`s for a talent show and it has to stand out :p

I think I`m going with Mandy Moore`s Only Hope with piano -- what do you think??

hey! i kinda get picked on (in a sort of joking way) by my friends and they think piano is all about beethoven and bach and classical music, so if anyone has some popular sheet music that i can have, or know web sites where i can get the music, PLEASE email me (davisrut@aol.com) so i can show my friends what the piano is really about.

Mandy Moore?
*Sigh* I`m afraid I`ve never listened to that song... But everyone seems to be going mad about it, so I suppose there must be a reason
I say go for it.

I hope im not too late to give you some advice. Actually, nobody ever mentioned vanessa carlton......i dont know why. That chick is awesome. What kinda music do youlike? i mean, cuz theres this one called wanted that sounds pretty freaky.....but cool. I`ve never heard mandy moore sing ony hope, but i memorized it because my friend was always singing it. There is some pretty piano in there. Youve made a good decison so far

`heaven` candlelight mix by DJ Sammy, or `my immortal` by evanescence.
