When Will My Life Begin - Alan Menken "Tangled" cover by Marty Brueggemann

Looking forward to seeing "Tangled". This song comes from the soundtrack for the film (music by the one and only Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater) where apparently it's broken up into a number of reprises. Sheet music is not yet available, but was dying to arrange it. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the kind feedback everyone. I've now included the chords in the vid description. When typing it out I tried to line up the chord changes with the correct syllables in the lyrics (not the most musical way to do it, but it's the best you can do w/youtube text). Chord interpretations are mine,but it's the original key and I tried to be in keeping with the chord vocab that Alan typically uses. I'll upload the reprise soon (which I moved to a different key for singing reasons).Thanks!

[ElphietheGreenGirl]

can you tell me the basic chords you used? im dyyying to play this. <3

[martybmusic]

@ElphietheGreenGirl

Sure thing, the chords are now in the description and I may upload a tutorial as well. Enjoy!

Nice piano arrangement. Wish I could hear your voice too.

[martybmusic]

@Jizzle26

Thank you. Yeah I'm still fooling around with the mic setup. Hopefully the next vid will sound a little nicer.

[neofeliss]

Could you upload a recording of your music? It's gorgeous!

[martybmusic]

@neofeliss

You're so kind, thank you. I've uploaded a couple of original songs on my channel if you'd like to check them out. Take care.

[jhauffen]

You need to redo this so we can hear your voice better. Sounds good.

[Jinvoir]

dude you kinda sound like Brad Kane! (Aladdin's singing voice)

it'd be awesome to hear you sing A Whole New World or something :D

[2awesome4u5]

I really like this version. Thanks for the chords, by the way. How long have you been playing piano?

[yippedoodah]

I love the "Tomorrow night, the lights will appear......" part :3 Very sweet. Nice work lad!

[lovellykoko]

Do you or anyone you know have an original arrangement to the 2nd Reprise of this song? I can't find it anywhere and it's not in the Tangled sheet music book :-(
