Ego (Easy version with lyrics and chords)-Halsey

Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe sheet music since 2007. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for mental health). Request any popular song in any genre and language.

More Halsey

The track is transcribed in the original key, G Major, and has three progressions of basic major and minor chords:

1. Em D C G (verse and chorus)
2. G Bm C D (pre-chorus)
3. C D G D (bridge)

"Ego" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. Accent strong beats but do it softly. 

The left-hand texture is thick and makes great use of the bass register. Play any pattern (chords, arpeggios, tremolo, ostinato).

The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by Halsey: a predominant vocal style is staccato.

Focus on precise rhythm in the rap part (the second verse). It is tiring to play with forte touch; play pianissimo. 

There are many places of an indefinite pitch.

The melody is build to surprise a listener, to attract and retain attention. It has a rapid flow with sudden changes of direction, expressive pauses, a recitative style.

The aesthetic value of a track is based on variety and repetition (the verse and the chorus uses the same motive).
