This was requested by so MANY of you from my arrangement of No Child Left Behind. I'm so glad you guys asked for this because it is SOOO BEAUTIFUL on the piano. I love the instrumentation throughout the entire song, especially the piano segment. Although it was challenging to arrange and play, I figured out how to make it work. I hope you guys enjoy this and want to try it out yourselves. The link for the SHEET MUSIC can be found HERE ▸ www.musicnotes.com/l/TrKMP & Piano Tutorial HERE ▸ bit.ly/ComeToLife_PianoTutorial
On “Come to Life”, a beautiful spine-tingling love-telling story off of Donda, Kanye sings about his desire for another life and wishing he had listened more to his wife, Kim Kardashian’s thoughts, dreams, and aspirations. He brings to light his mixed emotions about her presence and her absence while expressing how he doesn’t want to die alone without her specifically at his side. Songs like this where Kanye sings about the significance of his wife and kids to him while beautiful instrumentals and synths play in the background make this song one of his most beautiful songs of all time. Some as far as calling it the “Runaway” of Donda.
My soul cries out, "Hallelujah" And I thank God for saving me I, I thank God Here go all your problems again (I thank God) Three, two, one, you're pinned (I thank God) Uncle, now he back in the pen' Auntie shut down again Did she finally come to life? Ever wish you had another life? Ever wish you had another life? Ever wish you had another life? Don't you wish the night would go numb? I've been feeling low for so long I ain't had a high in so long I been in the dark for so long Night is always darkest 'fore the dawn Gotta make my mark 'fore I'm gone I don't wanna die alone, I don't wanna die alone I get mad when she gone Mad when she home, sad when she gone Mad when she home, sad when she gone (Lose it right now, the spirit that wants to run) Floating on a silver lining (in the name of Jesus) Yeah, you know where to find me, riding on a silver lining And my God won't deny me, tell the Devil, "Get behind me" All the stars are aligned, lift me up every time You know exactly where to find me (Hallelujah, thank you Jesus, hallelujah, hallelujah) Did those ideas ever really come to life? Make it all come to life, make it all come to life Praying for a change in your life Well, maybe it's gon' come tonight Sadness setting in again Three, two, one, you're pinned Uncle right back in the pen' Tell me, how auntie been? Took your thoughts and penciled 'em in Should've wrote 'em down in pen And maybe they'd come to life And maybe they'd come to life Sadness setting in again Three, two, one, you're pinned Uncle right back to the pen' Tell me, how auntie been? Thoughts, you had penciled 'em in Probably should've wrote 'em in pen And maybe they'd come to life They could finally come to life They could finally come to life You know where to find me, they cannot define me So they crucify me, how so fazed when I leave? Come and purify me, come and sanctify me You the air that I breathe, the ultra-ultralight beam Bought a gift to Northie, all she want was Nikes This is not about me, God is still alive, so I'm free Floating on a silver lining, floating on a silver lining So when I'm free, I'm free
What the?!? I can't believe how good this is. Just beautiful and the overlapping hands, mind blowing. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn this and post it!
I never comment on RU-vid stuff but this was great. I’m a self taught pianist so for the past 7-9 years I’ve watched most if not all your videos and your just out of this world talented. I hope to one day be as skilled as you. Great video
Absolutely love the attention to detail with this arrangement. The little details like the passing chords are what make the song so powerful for me and you nailed it. Also love how you balanced the vocal melody with the piano embellishments in the second half.
The song is melodious and very beautiful.. I don't think there is any other song like this song if you want to feel relaxed without any burden! thank you! Good to hear!!
