@craziestanimefan Can you explain what you mean my changing time signature? I'm just curious since I am absolutely captivated by this song. Is it what diegrosseflut listed below?
@greencanopy Yes it is. Time signature is just what value of note gets the beat and how many beats there are per measure. As you can see from the referred comment below, it changes quite often. Harbor is especially unique in that most songs nowadays are in 4/4 and usually never change time signature very much. Hope this helps. :)
I played this song on a friend's wedding. It is the first song ever that caused me trouble playing it on the piano, took me at least 2 hours to understand the structure (VERSE 5/4 - CHORUS 2/4 -4/4 - 2/4 - 4/4 - 2/4 - 4/4 - 4/4 - 4/4 (repeat) - INTERLUDE 2/4 - 4/4 - 2/4 - 4/4 - 2/4 - 4/4 4/4- VERSE - CHORUS - INTERLUDE - SOLO 3/4 - 4/4 - 3/4 - 4/4 (repeat) 4/4 - 4/4 - 4/4 - 4/4 - VERSE + 5/4 - CHORUS - CHORUS - INTERLUDE - SOLO - SOLO) Try it ;o)
I just had the pleasure of seeing her and her partner perform on Wednesday night Dec 3 in the Tarrytown Music hall,I am a HUGE FAN and I also had the pleasure of getting her autograph after the show.She Performed with Over the Rhine who also were AWESOME!
Yea...me too! I didn't know that till now. That must be why I feel so connected to her. I saw her about a month ago in St. Louis and got a hug and an autograph. Her partner is an amazing talent too.
I saw her live about 4 years ago in a small place in LA just as this was released. She had a merch booth set up, but no one to cover it. My sister and ran it for awhile...she trusted us in selling her c.d.'s and such. Reinforces what we know: she is an extraordinary person. And a voice like an angel.
I was fortunate to open for her in Iowa about a year ago. At the end of the show as I was lugging my gear out to the car I hear this voice behind me saying "hey, what can I carry?", she picked up a guitar case and some of my other stuff and helped me carry all my gear out to the car. Says a lot about her character as a person, there's no pretense or ego with her, she's the genuine article.
Ah, you know. When you get swept away with emotion, with song, and music your body tends to sway a certain way. I don't know but that's probably what you see as odd. Yes I agree it's really good. : )
Yeah well this sounds better than the actual song on CD. This doesn't mean the song sounds bad on CD, it's just that this is so much more personal. and her voice sounds amazing...
and of course i agree that she is very pretty as well.
I want to see her live, but i dont know if she will be coming to Hamburg any time :(
Great song and performance! I noticed on her website that there are only concert dates through the end of 07. Anyone know if she will tour again in 08?
I just saw her live at Tupelo Music Hall this Saturday. It was so GORGEOUS. I dragged a friend who had no idea who she was with me, and now she's borrowing all my CDs to put on her iPOD. :D I SHALL CONVERT THE WORLD!
Hey Klaorman, I have watched almost every video you've posted featuring Vienna Teng. Thank you so much for allowing us to "see" her perform. It's quite an experience.
Almost?? You have to watch them all! :-) Which ones haven't you watched?
You're very welcome! I have more, but I'm just so lazy these days. Have you checked out my Missy Higgins videos? Those were easier to do since they were just files on my point-and-shoot, not MiniDV like the Vienna clips.
I love this song. Vienna Teng deserves the world to bow down to her awesomeness. XD Hey, does anyone know if there's sheet music available for this song?
She's slowly developing a following. Her music is not considered "Hot Adult Contempory", so you don't here it on the radio as much. She has played the Denver area several times in the past, so I suspect she'll be back. If you know of a place that should book her, let them know you'ed like to see her perform there.
Plus we get more intimate concerts like this one! And Vienna hangs around afterwards to meet and greet anyone and everyone who hangs around. We don't want to lose that - or at least I don't! :-)
I know how you feel - ever since I first put Warm Strangers into a CD player in '04, I haven't gone a month without listening to her music at least ten times through.
Such a beautiful song, voice, and instrumentals... Stellar video capture, but I'll bet nothing compared with the experience in person, you lucky one! ~ Ferrard
Thanks, but yeah, this doesn't compare; Vienna's voice is so much "bigger" live (due to the sound system) plus you feel the energy, excitement, and appreciation in the room.
