Last Man Standing

LIVINGSTON  

An easy piano transcription made by request.

Lyrics are always included in my sheet music, singing is good for health. Please, notice that the vocals are written using a treble clef with the numeral 8 below it 𝄠 (a suboctave clef). This indicates that pitches sound one octave below the written score. Play the right hand one octave lower than written.

ABOUT THE SONG

Imitate the vocal delivery by Drake Livingston or it won't sound as the song.

A predominant vocal style is legato. You can omit playing the riff in the left hand if it's too hard for you. Play simple chords B♭m G♭ D♭ Fm A♭ A♭m instead.

"Last Man Standing" is written in A Sharp Minor with seven sharps, but transcribed in the enharmonically equivalent key of B Flat Minor with only five flats. It's very easy to play in keys with five sharps or flats: All possible black keys are used.

Notice vibrato in the measure 23.

"Last Man Standing" is played 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.

Composition: Verse I — Verse II — Bridge — Coda

The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of conventional tonal behavior and short phrases.

Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
