Klokka er 5:41, og jeg får ikke sov. I’m regressing back to my American ways. But as long as I’m awake, I figure I might as well do something productive besides hunt for piano tutorials on Youtube.

Speaking of which, I have to say: lære å spille piano er dritt vanskelig! I’ve been dreaming of jamming out a good tune ever since I saw Tori play “Concertina,” but I can’t seem to get beyond a few riffs without exhausting myself. It’s definitely harder than it looks: to be playing a bass line with one hand, and simultaneously playing a totally different melody on the other hand, and singing on top of that–it’s tough.
And then, you’d have to practice the same line over and over and over, and before you know it, 曾经那么爱听的一首歌既然被你弹够了. I don’t know how Joakim can spend hours on the piano. Jeg har ikke sånn tålmodighet som ham.

Still, it would do well to be able to play one complete song. I’m determined to learn Lucie Silvas’ “Remember Me,” even though there isn’t a tutorial for it. (There never seems to be any for the songs I really like. It’s like I’m being punished for having good taste in music or something–not implying that other people’s tastes are crap or anything.) Well, it’s time to test out my ears.
