Displaying all reviews (5) I love the style of this piece. Very relaxed song but requires good breath control. Really great piece to sing for a coffee house setting. melodyfrancis 15 people found this helpful. Did you? This is a great and very accurate arrangement of this classic song. At first, the intro seemed awkward, as timing and phrasing are very important to create the right sound. Pzcal 9 people found this helpful. Did you? I love this song. It has such beautiful movement and can be played just as sweetly on guitar. The manner in which the verses are structured and how the chorus just pops up and then floats off reminds me of a lazy row on a calm and endless sea on a beautiful hazy summers day. Jesse Harris is a genious! Tess 21 people found this helpful. Did you? Great arrangement! pian0_play3r 5 people found this helpful. Did you? I need the sheet music in the key of C not B flat. I do not want to print it out in the wrong key that I do not need. How do I print the sheet music in the key that I need. Michele_Anderson 4 people found this helpful. Did you?
