------------------------------------------------

 You thought this year's upload was over, but its actually not. 

I am presenting you the last song of the year to share with you.

This is a confession to the Lord, looking back on this year and my whole life. 

Thank you God. 

And for all of you supporting HeavenPiano, thank you so much for supporting me. 

------------------------------------------------

This is a very beautiful intro. 

If I were to divine the music into big pieces, 

First verse is hym focused version.

second verse is re-harmonization version.

third, fourth versions are 8-beat ballad version. 

Overall there are parts expressed in triplets and parts expressed in dotted. You should think of them as the same, not differently. 

This is Shuffle, but also could be ballad. I was pretty surprised by the fact there is shuffle in ballad. 

Lets take a look at how you play the parts with dotted in right-hand and how you play the triplets in left-hand like 22th bar as an example. 

you are supposed to play triplets first and dotted later if you follow the actual notes, but you are not supposed to do this. What you are supposed to do is to press the last note at the same time and this kinda part comes out a lot in second verse. 

----------------------------------------------

I made second verse more rhythmical by my left-hand with the second verse re-harmonized. 

From verse 3, I raised one octave and played a ballad. Left-handed Arpeggio has to be played by splitting one beat into three because it's a shuffle. 

If you split your left hand into two like a traditional eight-beat ballad, you divide one beat into two, then divide it into three, and this is how it breaks your head. 

On the other hand, it's okay to play a beat in three parts. 

In verse 4, the rage of the left hand goes down further, and the right hand plays richer. Please make sure the chords progress is different from verse 3. 

----------------------------------------------

Wrapping up this year, It has been a tough year for sure. 

For me, I think the biggest event was that I released the 4 music books. It made it possible because so many people loved me. The cheering and supporting from those of who received music book was the driving force behind the publication. The music book will come out next year as well. 

Personally there was period when I had been hospitalized for 7 nights. Now I am out and as healthy as before. 

Was busy so kind of stayed away from the Bible. It was pretty difficult to catch up that I was missing, but I could manage to make it. Proud of myself accomplishing everything that I planned! 

-----------------------------------------------

I am planning a lot for next year and pretty sure will be busier than this year. 

First, I will finish coming out with the new music book for accompanist. Estimated release date will be I think next spring so please pray for me. 

Also There will be new website of HeavenPiano and I think there will be a lot of changes. Last thing that I want to do, but also at the same time, not certain is that I hoped to make a lesson video for you guys. It's difficult to start but I will get my bravery to finish this job around at the end of next year. So please pray for me to accomplish all of them.
