Alanis Morisette
That I Would Be Good [midi] - Alanis is very good! Wouldn't you agree?

Augustana
Boston [midi] - voice and piano. There were many versions played on the radio, video, internet but this one's arrangement I based from this one - and therefore should be played like that, too. :)

Complicated [midi] - What I like about this one? It's a little "playful" and much fun playing on the piano.

- Piano solo version.

Beatles
Across The Universe [midi]
- I heard this song for the first time in Fiona Apple's video where she turned upside down singing while some people behind her was in chaos (if you've seen it you know what I mean). I had no idea this was originally written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles. Like, wow, this song sounds really great after all these years and after several covers made by our contemporary artists. You ought to try this one. :)

Bad Day [midi] - simplified version for voice and piano :)
