Pearl Jam's Black, arranged for piano and voice. Includes an extended introduction - if you would like to skip this, start playing from Bar 19 on the second page.
This interpretation of the song is a slow and dramatic ballad. The tempo of 76 BPM is the same as Pearl Jam's original recording, however you might like to experiment with the use of rubato to enhance the dramatic nature of the piece.
The melody is mainly the same as per the original song. The harmony is a little bit different from Pearl Jam's original chord progression, however the new harmony is still supportive of the melody. Most of the lyrics are shown in the sheet music, but you'll notice a lack of lyrics on the final page - this is where you (or your singer) might like to experiment with some vocal ad lib (improvisation).
