Dancing in the Flames (Beginner level with lyrics and chords) The Weeknd















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.

The track is transcribed in the original key, D Flat, and uses basic major and minor chords D♭ B♭m A♭ G♭.
Notice that the period's length is 6 measures. A twelve-note scale and a metered sheet music isn't capable to express the sound of "Dancing in the Flames" with its layered vocal and inflections of electronic instruments.
The two-measure intro can be played in the left hand throughout the track (except the bridge).
The Weeknd's "Dancing in the Flames" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time.
The right hand imitates pitch inflections (slurred notes). They are a central motive of the track and should stand out above the left hand.
The aesthetic value of a track is based on repetition. Max Martin's formula is to use the same motive in the verse and in the chorus but make it illicitly.
