So this year went by like a whirlwind. What a crazy tumultuous year it's been! The first time I heard this song was through a FaceBook post of a brilliantly arranged cover by One Voice Children's Choir ( • Maroon 5 - Memories | ... ). I personally like this version better than the original. I was brought to tears at the message of the song and how beautiful the kids sang it.
"Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you"
This is a song that's full of syncopated rhythms and repeat notes. I originally intended to play this on the floor harp, but ended up recording it on the double strung lap harp for the cleaner ring and I don’t have to worry about muffling my left hand (thanks to higher strung tension). It was a still a challenge to play on the little Ena lap harp since the strings are really close together. Nevertheless, it is a fun song to play on the double strung. Oh, btw, if you feel the song sounds familiar, that’s because the chord progression is exactly the same as Pachelbel’s Canon 😊.
Sending you much love and peace this holiday season 🥰!
*Sheet music is now available for purchase here: www.sheetmusic.... Since I originally arranged this for single strung harps, I decided to upload the single strung version so more people can play it. It is in the key of C with no lever changes. If you really would like a double strung lap harp version, please feel free to contact me. Happy harping!
Harp: Stoney End Double-Strung Ena Lap Harp
P.S. All my harps are tuned to A=432hz to be more in harmony with the natural healing vibration of nature. For more information on the benefits of 432hz tuning, check out this short article: powerthoughtsme...
