BPK – How to Play Siren (Tori Amos) Piano/Keyboard
Posted by admin · 25 Comments
Hello. This is a tutorial for Siren by Tori Amos from the Great Expectations soundtrack. It can be a tough song to learn and to teach but everyone here has been so great with nice comments and ratings this year, so I made a video to teach Siren which was the most requested tutorial. I hope it is helpful! I have a video where I play Siren which may help hear how the song comes together: www.youtube.com July was a very productive month for me playing Tori cause I have a video now for almost every song on her albums. The last few will be coming this month (hopefully!). The featured video from July is an original called Her Clinquant Mirror: www.youtube.com It’s inspired by the mystical style of Stevie Nicks and tells a peculiar tale of a woman’s infatuation with a mirror she found, and by extension her own reflection. It somehow twists her, but she is not destroyed. I had fun thinking it through so I hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks to everyone for all the kindness here. Much love, -BPK ————————————————— A full list of songs here is now available at: blog.myspace.com
anyone would have giggled by then XD your friend was completely right, of course but good ol´ madonna is a woman of many talents, and one of those is finding the meaning of her life in things she has absolutely no connection to ;P but if she´s such a genius that she easily understands the kabbalah who are we little nobodies to disagree -lol-
Absolutely. Madonna discussed how she was inspired to explore Japanese geisha culture following her exposure to the novel Memoirs of a Geisha. In a funny little anecdote, when the video premiered, Madonna was talking about how the song & video represented her arch-journey through life and the things she’s learned. My friend said, “Sorry but I don’t get it–since when is Asian culture the foundation of Madonna’s life story?” I giggled.
no really?? madonna popularized it? i know the video… woah, thats a new piece of information… the book came out (or at least became popular) years later in germany, not long before the movie came out. you really shocked me here!
I love the book! I read it in 1999 when it was popularized by, of all things, Madonna’s video for Nothing Really Matters.
Thank you. I did learn Siren by ear and your comment is super nice.
I am 28 but sometimes am mistaken for younger. When I was in school and working too many hours, I did not have time to play piano but at the beginning of 2008, I got back into it.
