Meghan Trainor is a goddess, her style makes retro relevant again, and the timbre and range of her voice is amazing. And more power to her that she can be a role-model for positive body image. I am a fan.

And when I figured out the chord progression to My Selfish Heart the other night, I wasn’t even disappointed to find out that pretty much the entirety of Title (her debut album) can be played with those same four chords. Because a) what pop song can’t? And b) I can now play all of Meghan Trainor’s songs on the piano! I recorded this discovery immediately on my phone, which is what I’ve attached above.

Zedd’s new album is catchy. This is from my favorite track.

Couldn’t quiet the clacking ivory keys.

If I think too hard about the notes I’m trying to play, I forget them. As a result, I often need to trick my hands into remembering how a song is played (like with this one that I learned back in beginner piano lessons).

Then after, I just started joking around and recorded it.

Felt pretty elite walking up to the desk and saying “Can you let me into the ballroom? I’m on the list.”

Except, no ball and most assuredly no fantastical princess gowns.

Just an empty room and a lovely instrument.
