The More We Get Together (Piano & Harmonica Cover)


There's a Chinese phrase that I've been hearing since young, 「吃飽沒事做」, lit. eat full nothing do. Wow, they rhyme.

So this time it's the retarded me playing instruments in the unusual way.

I just need to play the harmonica by biting without moving it horizontally because this nursery rhyme (a British folk song actually) uses only two chords. So I just blow for a C chord and draw for a G chord (although it's actually a G7add9 without G itself).

I crossed my arms and faced away from the piano to play and that's really obstructive to my movements, but if you noticed, my right hand was still on the side where is should be and so did my left hand, so it's still not too challenging, unlike those performed by professional entertaining pianists who're able to switch their hands' role.

But still, it's not easy for mine. You can try and see.


[The More We Get Together]
The more we get together, together, together,
the more we get together, the happier we shall be.
For your friends are my friends,
and my friends are your friends.
The more we get together, the happier we shall be.
【當我們同在一起】
當我們同在一起,在一起,在一起,
當我們同在一起,其快樂無比。
你對著我笑嘻嘻,我對著你笑哈哈。
當我們同在一起,其快樂無比。

  1. Wow, really harmonica is a smart musical approach. I collected Suzuki harmonica at PIJ. I always feel good to collect anything from there. http://bit.ly/suzuki-harmonica
