My piano version of Avril Lavigne's "Things I'll Never Say"

2008-02-01

This isn't new — about 6 years old, infact. Martin M. kindly wrote in to ask where my cover rendition of Avril Lavigne's (and yes, I did used to be a big fan) "Things I'll Never Say" was, and when I asked for help searching it down ('cuz evidently, I don't have my own copy, he helped out. So here it is…

Even if you don't know the original, it's a pleasant romp. The tempo's a little unsteady in parts to my now-more-mature ears, but there's enough sly bits of "Sk8er Boi", "Complicated", and even a little V. Carlton riff at the end — if you know what I mean — to make up for it.

I haven't listed to Avril's more recent albums, but I did like this incredibly well-done music machinima-thing made in The Sims 2.

I'll put this up with the rest of my piano recordings.

Gosh, I sometimes think to myself I've got to record more…

Torley, that's amazing, and if you like JayDee's Sk8er Boi machinima, check out this (Not Another Nightlife Movie, and this (Helena by My Chemical Romance, a BEAUTIFUL drama story made in The Sims 2 by the same creator). Enjoy! ;)

@Dolmere: The numbers! What do they mean?

@Smiley: Thanks, I'll check those out!

@Nicolas: Mainly 'cause of *lack of time* but thanks for the heads-up!

Torley, thats absolute great sound. I think the difference to the original song from Avril are the best parts. Since a long time i watch your YouTube channel and listen your piano sounds and i hope for more creative creations in the next time :-)

Friendly greetings, from germany.

Finally i found you! You're so amazing! I've been looking for you for many years.

Greg 2009-11-12 at 8:16 PM UTC

Hah, its amazing i actually stumbled across the composer's page. I'm attempting to learn it myself, and would love if someone managed to put up the sheet music. I might try to transcribe it, but i think it might take me ages.

Better get started then!
