It's another Carole & Tuesday cover original arrangement by KellerHands woooo!!
This project taught me two things:
1. Arranging is hard.
2. Learning to play what you arranged is even harder.

Seriously, I could've uploaded this one months ago if I had just simplified some of the harder bits. AND I'M NOT EVEN HAPPY WITH THIS RECORDING AAAAH!!

Recently I've been wondering about how this channel is going to progress from now on. I thought I'd be able to learn and upload pieces at a much faster rate after playing for five whole years (five and a half, actually). But it seems I still have some ways to go until I reach that level. Recently there have been times when it was hard to get motivated, sit down and practice. But whenever I get out of these "ruts", I remember that I really love playing piano – so don't worry, you'll continue to get your two yearly uploads on this channel, definitely probably maybe!

Why "Whispering My Love" you ask? I don't really know. It just really stuck with me since watching the casting show scene in the anime. At first I thought: "No way you could turn this into a piano piece." The voices are totally carrying the performance and the instrumentation is very much in the background. You also don't have much of a melody and tons of repetition and so on. But when I found a way to imitate Tuesday's rhythmic "guitar strumming" with the left hand, I actually loved how catchy it was. That's when I committed to finishing the arrangement. All it took was a KellerHands intro and changing some parts around to create kind of a hybrid between the full song and the short version in the episode. I also love the fact that the arrangement turned out very different from my version of "The Loneliest Girl". It's quicker and harder, it has a lot of friction and musical weirdness I don't have the theory knowledge to explain, haha. But in some way I like it even more. Definitely proud of it.

There will be more Carole & Tuesday in the future as well. My long-term commitment to covering these songs still stands. I'll try and torture myself a little less with the next one though. Fingers crossed.
