Ed Sheeran — Plastic Bag
Please, notice that the upper stave is written using a treble clef with the numeral 8 below it (a so-called suboctave clef). I do it to avoid using ledger lines that slower sightreading. This indicates that the pitches sound an octave lower. Play and sing the right hand in the written pitch or one octave lower than written.
I also doubled note values to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.
"Plastic Bag" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners but be sure not to play in a mechanical way. Strive for a loose and bouncing feel accenting strong beats. Take care to maintain a steady pulse and play along with the recording if you find that the memory eludes you. Practice "Plastic Bag" slowly.
To keep listeners attention, the chorus was made to be the biggest part of a song. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.
"Plastic Bag" is a song with a heterophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but also its own melody. I decided to write it out because it's simple if you practice hands separately first and only when you memorized the parts, join hands. Even beginners can play it if the palm length allows.
The vocal part is relatively rigid and precisely timed, so it produces not much of a melody for the right hand. The melodic line is built on repetition of one note. The composition lacks intervallic saturation thus its artistic meaning and expression suffer. A predominant vocal style is staccato.
"Plastic Bag" is transcribed in the original key, G Major, and uses a progression of G D Am C Em. A chord change creates a meaningful harmonic pull. Alas, hundreds of songs use this exact sequence.
