New Concert Alert
Saturday September 13th at the Grog Shop - Straylight Run (new band started by John Nolan formerly of Taking Back Sunday) and Jamison/Parker. These are both brand new bands, and this will be the first tour for both of them. I don't want to miss this because it's going to be a great show.
Update: Just read this interview with John and Shaun of Straylight Run. Sounds like piano is a big part of their songs. W00t, more piano rock. Says Shaun: "I would just like to say that it’s the perfect blend between Thursday, Saves The Day, Dashboard Confessional, and Jimmy Eat World." Sounds good to me, can't wait to hear their stuff. They said they're going to try and have stuff available for download soon.

Posted by: antoire on November 16, 2004 05:41 AMI first saw the video on Fuse and was literally blown away. This song is absolutly beautiful, and their piano is one of the reasons why. After half an hour on google I said what the hell, I'll try and figure it out. Honestly, it took me less time to play it by ear then it did to fail at finding it online, and I've never figured out a whole song by ear before. Everyone out there can learn Existentialism on Prom Night, and if you REALLY can't, I'll help you out here:
It starts on F#, and ascends then descends in some weird variation of the F# Minor chord. F#, C#, F#, A. Then drop to the D below the first F#, follow it with the D Major chord (D, A, D, A). One step up to E, and you play something similar to what you did on the F# Minor, the unaltered chord on everything but the last note (E, B, E, A). Finally, play that last chord again, but drop the final A down half a step to G#.
As for the melody, it's easy as well- C#, D, E, and B are the only notes, I can't think of anything you could go wrong on there. Remember that after it comed down from the D and E, it doesn't immediatly sink to B, but plays C# twice.
The other part that everyone wants to know is the "Sing like you think no ones listening / you would kill for this / just a little bit." The notes are A, E, D, C#, D, E, C# for "sing like you think no ones listening." Play the "-ing" as an eigth and immediatly drop to A for "you would kill for this just a little bit" That's the C#'s and two A's.
Those are the simplest parts of "Existentialism on Prom Night." It really is an easy as hell song, the tricky bits are what I'm doing now- those little harmonies that play while he's singing. Once I master everything I'll put it on finale and post it someplace, email me and I'll make sure to send you the copy once I make it.
And by the way, if this helps you, it never hurts to drop a thank you email my way- always nice to know that I helped somebody out :)

Posted by: sergio sanchez on April 30, 2005 07:51 PMIf you want the 100% real version of this song, email me, I have it. The last guy to transcribe this song must have been partially tone-deaf or something. I am a senior music ed. major, so I know what I'm doing. I garauntee that my transcription is the most accurate out there.
