Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheets for popular music. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health) and harmonic chords.
I consider reasonable requests.
Sometimes I post free PDFs. Follow me!

Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of modern pop music with its layered vocal, computer-generated sounds, and inflections of modern electronic instruments. My piano sheet music can only show you the score within the boundaries of the twelve-note scale and a metered rhythm; alas, the pitch and rhythm have little to do with the aesthetic value of the track. Listen to the song before practicing to fully imitate the beauty of the song: its *timbre, phrasing, inflections.* Play the song, not sheet music. Sing a phrase before playing it on your keyboard.
I doubled note values to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.
Imitate the vocal delivery by Claire Ridgely or it won't sound as the song. Some syllables are of an indefinite pitch. I notated it as the tonic note.
A predominant vocal style is legato with chanting staccato.
Notice that in the measures 21-28 the repeated A♭ chords in the upper stave is played by the left hand.
"Bring Me Back" is written with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice slowly along with the recording. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.
A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. _"Bring Me Back"_ has homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.
"Bring Me Back" is transcribed in the original *key,* A Flat Major, and uses extended major and minor chords *Fm D♭ A♭ E♭.*
Notice the ellipsis (omitted chords) in the bars 44 and 100.
The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of conventional tonal behavior.
