Song: My God is good

Hi folks,

In this post I share a new song I just composed. It’s been on my mind for a few days so I decided to record it once and for all and share.

It’s a song I created to reflect my gratitude to God for being so good to me so far.

Here’s the recording.

The lyrics of the song is:

My God is good
Every day
My God is good
Every day my God is good
My God is good

God is full of grace
Every day
He makes me to succeed
In what I lay my hands upon
God is full of grace

God is merciful
Every day
He forgives me of my sings
Every day he’s merciful
God is merciful

My God is good
Every day
My God is good
Every day my God is good
My God is good

Here’s how you play the song on the piano.

First, it’s in the key of A major.

On the left hand you essentially play 2 chords: Amajor7 and Gmajor7 both in root position, sometimes with a run up to the chord

Each bar has 4 beats

It’s played as

Amajor7 Amajor7 Amajor7 (2 beats)
Amajor7 Amajor7 Amajor7 (2 beats)

i.e. the third instance of the chord is played for 2 beats.

So in short you play a 1 major7 chord and ♭7 major7 chord

Song: Oh My!

Hi folks,

In this post I share a new relaxing song I composed recently while practicing on the piano. It’s titled Oh My!

It is in G♭ pentatonic scale.

On the right hand I play just one single chord: G♭9 (add 6) – that is D♭ E♭ G♭ A♭ B♭

Each line comprises 4 beats. The right hand chord is played on every beat, except on the last verse where we play the chord once per line.

On the left hand I play the melody.

Here’s the recording of the song.

And here is the transcription of the melody.
