siinamota - Young Girl A (Piano + Sheet Music Animation)

Is it better to die young but remembered, or to live long but forgotten?

=========================

Probably my highest-quality recording of a song to date. Some thoughts on the arrangement itself: I did my best to stay faithful to the original structure of the song, minus some liberties such as the extended solo after the second chorus. I'm not quite satisfied with my left hand writing since some figurations are quite awkward to play despite alternative options being available. Or maybe I just need to practice more...let's say both. Either way, it came out a lot more difficult than I originally intended a relatively slower song to be, but I'm pretty happy about how the lyrical sections (especially the cascading 16ths + LH countermelody after the choruses) turned out.

I hope you enjoyed listening and check out my sheet music if you're interested in learning this song as well. More people deserve to know about it.

"Is it better to die young but remembered, or to live long but forgotten?" those words hit hard

[AdRoPol]

holy shit, free sheet music. i never see that anymore. really appreciate it.

[breadmaster]

If only siinamota could see all the support he would be getting and all of the love he would be getting, maybe he would've powered through, love you siinamota

[illywando]

Played this at my school talent show. Because of your amazing effort and composition to create this piece, I placed first, I cannot thank you more. Prior to this, I can guarantee you my teacher told me to sit on a piano every time we went to music class. You're truly the best!

[hehehehaw]

underated though finger clicks at the start was so clean

[etaoch]

I gave up on piano about 5 years ago but this.. this is making me want to get back into piano again.. this is beautiful

[Kuraikuu]

I watched this like the day it came out, and to see it days later and seeing how it still hasn’t gotten the recognition it deserves is frustrating, this video even gave me chills like damn

[giuseppeagresta]

I honestly thought this could NOT be played on a solo piano with the same harrowing, sharp and chaotic feel of the original
I was wrong
Kudos! And kudos for posting the sheets for free

[KleinStephen]

Bro this is so good, I'm a sucker for music that's intense that suddenly goes soft then slaps intensely again

[imz]

i love the snaps at the start, accurate to the song

[FiXsy_]

beautifully played! you can feel the emotions Siinamota put into this song from this arrangement, which makes it so much more special. hopefully he is happier where he is now

Sorry for the translation.
I was shocked that this video was gone for a few days. I'm so happy that I can listen to this piano again. Thank you for this wonderful piano!

Idk why but the fact hes playing this in jeans just gives a sense like hes just play this absolutely beautiful version of the song almost casually which is just insane massive respect

[loganfeecemusic]

Incredible!! I love that run at 0:56. It pleases my ears greatly

[Verse 1] (Will Stetson Translation)

Let me tell you all about “my” life
Speaking in a round of “someone”’s life
Every now and then off once or twice
Everything all ends up right it seems
Suffocating sun is blinding the eyes
Drowning in a feeling choking the mind
Counting on the rain to douse the skies
How do I survive the thundering?
Loving and the hate all wash away
Loving and the hate all wash away
Tell me where it is you hide the pain
Smiling alight so gracefully
Spitting out a phrase without a shape
Spitting out a phrase without a shape
Somewherе on the road we lost our way
How can I convey thе same to you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Collecting all the scraps of dreams that never came
Hey, wait, hey, wait
Seems it all was my mistake

[Chorus]
Ah
“Now and then, now and then”
“I’ll just break again” it’s
Bitter, the cold, the cold, the cold, the cold
Bitter, the cold, the cold, the cold, the cold
Bitter, the cold, the cold, the cold
You left me alone now
Ah
What is left, what is left?
Oh, the words you said it’s
Fading away, away, away, away
Fading away, away, away, away
Fading away, away, away
I’m breaking in pain, so

[Post-Chorus]
Any place you can find my name
It would be okay cause just the thought is all it takes

[Verse 2]
Every little promise ever we made
Every little promise ever we made
Carrying the weight of each mistake
Somehow, we arrive at the coming of day
Loving and the hate all wash away
Loving and the hate all wash away
Tell me where it is you hide the pain
Smiling alight so gracefully

[Pre-Chorus]
“A pair of flowers budding calms me ever so”
Although, although
You had all but lost your hope

[Chorus]
Ah
Chasing dreams, chasing dreams
Ever out of reach, it’s
Speeding away, away, away, away
Speeding away, away, away, away
Speeding away, away, away
I can’t keep the pace, the
Feelings that can’t be erased
Bid my blood to take, it’s
Hurting, a rage, a rage, a rage, a rage
Hurting, a rage, a rage, a rage, a rage
Hurting, a rage, a rage, a rage
It’s never the same, right?

[Bridge]
Ah
This is just how I dreamed
Or, it seemed to be but

[Chorus]
Crying alone, alone, alone, alone
Crying alone, alone, alone, alone
Crying alone, alone, alone
Don’t come any closer
Trading the code we had made
In our better days is
Bitter, the cold, the cold, the cold, the cold
Bitter, the cold, the cold, the cold, the cold
Bitter, the cold, the cold, the cold
Is all that I know, so
Any place you can find my name
It would be okay, so let me keep it all the same

Even if Shinamota no longer exists in this world, his songs will live on and his legend will be etched in history.

[TeenEntreprenuer]

I've been playing piano for 6 years and I have genuinely no idea how it's physically possible to play some of these notes at the speed and coordination that has been played in this video. Amazing.

[ezren]

Is nobody going to talk about how this sheet music is rated as "easy"

[lawlznet]

If you live long, you may be forgotten by most people, but you'll be remembered by a precious few.
