Ok, I played around with my piano and this is what I came up with so far haha.

Help out finishing this song guys haha xD.

The numbers represent the nth octaves (an octave is a set of 8 keys. C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C). A standard piano has 7 octaves. The middle C is in the 4th octave. Sorry if this is a bit confusing. Feel free to ask questions.

Legend:
- = Hold
! = Tap
; = End of bar

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Thanks to crunchster for helping out =D!</span>

Edit: Oh by the way, this is in only one octave. You'd only use right hand to play this. Right thumb on C and to play the A, use your pinky.

Edit 2: Oh come on guys. If you have a piano, play around and contribute to this! I'll give you 5 AFz if you do haha.

Edit 3: Just found out that the song begins with a low E, shortly before Es and Fs which are like two octaves higher.

Edit 4: I've composed it into a MIDI file. You may use it as a ringtone but it's no-where near finished so I don't think you should. It's here so that you know what it sounds like.

Edit 5: Added the link to the Instrumental version of the theme song. Oh and thanks to crunchster for helping out ^^.

Edit 6: Replaced my version of the Instrumental theme song with toomanysidesofme's one. His one is better mine.

Edit 7: I was just playing around with the piano and I somehow got the actual theme song =D. Seperated the two of them. I haven't finished it though.

Edit 8: Added the chorus to the actual theme song.

Edit 9: Composed another MIDI. Better than the last one.

i WISH i knew how to play the piano!! i think this song is sooo soo beautiful, especially when Patrick played it in eps 6. I wish i can learn, and thanks for trying, i have a friend who can try what u did! thank u

i tried it and i think its it...but i still cant work out the middle part

If I figure it out I promise you'll get the whole piano version from me... Only when I figure it out... hahhaha
But I'll try it ok?

omg when i heard the song for a few timesi wished i noe how to play the piano it sounds so goood

i love the piano part in this movie! i wish i could play the piano. I'd love to try out those keys for you but don't have a piano.. so can't..

haha i'm trying to get my boyfriend to play it out for me cause he's a lot better at playing by ear than i am anyone know where can i download the piano part of this song? because if i can't, then i'll try to record the ending of episode 10...you know, the part where michelle was in the coffin and patrick played the ENTIRE song out. too bad the commentator had to announce the following series when the credits were rolling if not, it'd be super perfect!

.

i tried playing it but it sounds really funny i think im playing it wrong

ILL TRY TO PLAY IT BUT FIRST ILL NEED TO GO TO A PIANO...AN FIGURE IT OUT AND MAIB IF I CAN ILL ASK MAI MUSIC TEACHER TOO...HEHE...

I really wish that I play the piano too. My aunt and everyone said that I should play the piano since I have the "hands" to play it. I did play the piano once during skool, but stopped afterwards. I just love this song. I've listened to it over and over again on ep. 10 since that seems like the only part that patrick played the entire song. I really want to get this song so I can just listen to it constantly without having to relisten to the ep. If anyone get this song, can u plz tell me.

cool but can it longer for my mobile??I want this it is a beautiful ringtone.

.

The song is so good. I am going to try it right after I am done reading everybody spoilers. lol.

I tried it on the piano. It doesn really sound like it. But the beginning with the fefefe thing doesn't sound right.



What is tap? do you mean the pedal?

I like hearing the theme song playing from the piano alot, it sounds great. It's very soothing and relaxing music. I love it when Bernice's mom plays it, she's looks so good for her age.

i wish TVB will release the pcs out, it is very nice n smoothing...

i know how to play almost the whole piece..
except fer a little part before it ends still trying to slowly figure out the notes.
ya it took me like two dayz to get everything with the chords and right notes..
itz fun ...
and it sounds really nice wen you play it together =)

but if you follow the version sung by bernice it is SOO much easier..
and it still sounds pretty good.
that one wuz ALOT easier to figure out...

itz fun playing along with the song...=)

i was fooling around on the piano but only with the right hand and it sounded pretty good to me.

but i really want to learn how to use both the hands or at least have sheet music to follow to.

but thanks for all your notes taking


will you be so nice as to write it all down here for us?
i relaly want to know how to play it thanks

I totally agree. Crushster please write it done in letter form. Just the right hand since it is the melody. That would be a great help to all of us!!!

it's a nice song.. i think i should try to play it too

man i wish i can play the piano i really like that song i want to play it on a piano but too bad i quite playing it when i was young.

Please share the music with us when you have figured out the music piece. I think many people are anticipating! Thanks!

well im back (finally) haha...
so i went and wrote down most of the notes....
there is STILL one part im trying to figure out but i have to say it took me forever to write...itz so much easier playing...ok well sry if there are some wrong notes but i tried ma best to make it sound exactly the same...
im only gonna write the RH hand becuz it is SOO hard to explain WEN you play the LH....but maybe i might add the MORE important LH parts in...we will see...

the beginning:
RH: FE(together) E F C (going up 8x REALLY FAST) B A G F E F G F E D C B A G F E (going down in a scale accelerating as you get down to the bottom...stressing on the last E)

im gonna switch styles...you read the notes diagonally so E F C diagonalLY Towards the right (like this: / / / / /)means you go up...and wen the notes are going down you play it down....
C D E C B
F F F F F F
E E E E E E E E

One octave lower
C D E D C B
F F F F F F F F
E E E E E E E E E

2 octaves above middle C:
E A G
D
C A C
---------------------------
E A G
D
C A C
---------------------------
E A B
D G
C A

1 octave above middle C:

E F
D E E D
C C C

NOW THAT IS JUST THE FIRST verse this..her comes the chorus the most TOUCHING part of the song..
everytime i play this part i can imagine michelle and patrick playing together in ep 10 on the piano
(these are played together 2 notes at a time =) )
E F E F E C ]
C D C D C A ] LH: F+ BROKEN TRIAD
going up. down

D G A B C D ]
B D D G A B ] LH: G+ BROKEN TRIAD
continue going UP

E G G A B G ]
C E E F G E ] LH: E- BROKEN TRIAD
top then come down fer EG and go up to GB and come back down fer EG

A C D E F G ] LH: A- BROKEN TRIAD
F A B C D E ]
at the top then down to AC and up again back to EG


F C E C E D E F ] LH: F+ BROKEN TRIAD
D A C A C A C D ]
from FD down to AC then up to CE over three times and back to DF

D G D G D G ] LH: G+ BROKEN TRIAD
B D B D B D ]
going down from DF to DB then up to DG three times

B G B G B G ] LH: E- BROKEN TRIAD
G E G E G E ]
down to GB and down to EG downwards motion

FINALLY:
C ] LH: A- BROKEN TRIAD..
A ]
going up from EF to AC


that is all i have fer now...sry if itz confusing but that took FOREVER to type up and ya kinda tired of typing notes haha..
n e waz..hope you all have fun figuring it out..
and try to improv the LH with different combinations...
there is an actual LH but i will type that up some time later...
hope ma instructions are straightforward and clear

it sounds good once you put it together.
.and basically the parts repeat in the whole thing except fer the next part which im figuring out and the ending...
but hope you enjoyed that =)
and questions feel free to ask...


btw..since i contributed to SOO much...
DO I GET at least 10 AFZ???hehe...... '

crunchster:

Very good initiative! Why don't you use the software called "overture" for making the notes? It will be so much easier than saying "two octaves from the middle C".

OMG! Thanks, but well..... it is so confusing to read. I tried it but it does not sound anything like it. ronn-knee who made this post, posted it more clearly. No offense. But you gave a lot of effort so WAY TO GO!!!!! I'll try my best to change them to make it sound right.

<span class='edit'>This post has been edited by celebritychick: Today, 05:52 PM</span>

you guyz have to remember to play the top part..
from bottom to top
seperately..only the part where i say you play it together...
i originally formated it to be slanted so you can play it in the order..but it turned out to be ALL straight =(.....
so you go bottom to top left to right....
it works i play it...and it sounds right....

don't PLAY ACROSS...
REMEMBER IT SOUNDS GROSS..
haha

props for typing all that stuff out! SWEET now i'm gonna print that out and practice playing!

it looks quite complicated but hopefully in practising i can perfect it:) YAY =)

do you think someone can put the notes on the staff?that would be greatly appreciated...

Thx sooo much for postin the notes all up...buts its quite confusing....i don't get wat u mean by playin from bottom to top from left to right...also which notes u have to play like tat??!!....i never actualli learned how to play the piano i was hopin to take it next semester in skool....hehe.....well can u try explainin it too me...u can im me on mai aim if u want...its the same as mai user name here...thx soo much!!!
And if i don't get it ill ask mai music teacher at skool since i had him for guitar and i no he plays sooo much different instruments and is real good at the piano...but i don't see him too much these days...soo pleaz help me!!...thx!!

ok you play all the notes seperately...
fer the first part up until it says..."NOW THAT IS JUST THE FIRST verse this..her comes the chorus the most TOUCHING part of the song.."

so wut i mean is...fer the first part:
C D E C B
F F F F F F
E E E E E E E E

you basically play:
E F up to C
E F up to D
E F up to E
E F down to C
E F down to B
E
E

LIKE THAT...and same fer the other parts..


and for the other part..

E A G
D
C A C

just means:
(going up) C D E (down to) A (up one octave) A (down to) C ( up to ) G

etc.....
if i have time i will try to put them on a staff but that takes a lot of time.............
we will see......
hope you understand it more =)

Thanks for being the first one to contribute crunchster =D. You guys should be more like her =D.

Crunchster, even though it's a bit confusing to read, I think I get what you mean. Thanks again =D. 20 AFz on the way. I hope you will continue to help us ^^.

OMG THX SOO MUCH I UNDERSTAND IT MORE NOW...THOUGH NOT ALL BUT MOSTLY ITS OK!!....HEHE...SO LOVE YA GUYS FOR POSTIN TIS AND THX FOR RON_KNEE FOR POSTIN UP THE ENTIRE PIANO SONGTAT HE RECORDED!! THX!!

this is a really nice, slow, and meaningful song. unfortunately i dont know how to play the piano and dont know how to read music.

hey i started to play the piano todai tryin to get parts of the song...though i only got like bout 2 parts of it...but im confused in the beginnin part where i think im playin it rite but it doesnt song alrite...maib u can write the notes across or somethin like tat so i can no exactli wat not to play after the other...its soooo hard...since i never actualli learned piano.... pleazzz help!!:crying:

You could basically play the melody and add harmony to it. I play using ear and harmony though. but that's because i've taken classes and learned all those shite and secrets to it. lol

all i noe is the composer is called tang chi wai... =)
