I do not own the rights to this show.
This is a recording of my own playing.
I'M ABOUT TO CRY I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A FEMALE VERSION OF THIS FOR SO LONG OH MY WORD THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE THE BEST
I have all of TL5Y's Jamie tracks, fully orchestrated in female keys! Produced for a bespoke production! Purchase options available at arbaudiosolutions@gmail.com
Concept, Cathy sings this to Jamie. She is the more successful one and over time Jamie grew bitter because he couldn't handle the fact that his wife had gotten the success he dreamed of having at that point.
There are people
And they are publishing my book
And there's a party that they're throwing
And while you've made it very clear that you're not going
I will be going
And that's done
But what's it really about?
Is it really about a party, Cathy?
Can we please for a minute stop blaming
And say what you feel?
Is it just that you're disappointed
To be going again to Ohio?
Did you think this would all be much easier
Than it's turned out to be?
Well, then talk to me, Cathy
Talk to me
If I didn't believe in you
We'd never have gotten this far
If I didn't believe in you
And all of the ten thousand women you are
If I didn't think you could do
Anything you ever wanted to
If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow
The fact of the matter is, Cathy
I wouldn't be standing here now
If I didn't believe in you
We wouldn't be having this fight
If I didn't believe in you
I'd walk out the door and say,
"Cathy, you're right"
But I never could let that go
Knowing the things about you I know
Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew
It never took much convincing
To make me believe in you
Don't we get to be happy, Cathy?
At some point down the line
Don't we get to relax?
Without some new tsuris
To push me yet further from you?
If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy
Why can't you support mine?
Why do I have to feel
I've committed some felony
Doing what I always swore I would do?
I don't want you to hurt
I don't want you to sink
But you know what I think?
I think you'll be fine!
Just hang on and you'll see-
But don't make me wait till you do
To be happy with you
Will you listen to me?
No one can give you courage
No one can thicken your skin
I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy
I will not lose because you can't win
If I didn't believe in your
Then here's where the travelogue ends
If I didn't believe in you
I couldn't have stood before all of our friends
And said, "This is the life I choose-
This is the thing I can't bear to lose
Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall"
That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy
If I hadn't believed in you
I wouldn't have loved you at all
Thanks for your help by Writing the lyrics of this song from The Last Five Years
That helps a lot
JAMIE

Cathy, stop!

Please!?!

I love your accompaniments so so much!!! If you could do „moving to fast“ I would forever be grateful!❤️ It’s one of my favorite songs to sing and there isn’t one female karaoke track to it out there!☹️
What is the time stamp for coming in for “If I didn’t believe in you we wouldn’t be having this fight?”
10:08
THIS KEY IS SO PERFECT. Again alto rights!!!!! Do you mind if I use this for a cover in the future?
Bless you.
thank you so much for posting this beautiful track! i just did a cover with it ❤️
Hi, I'm aware you get so many requests but I can't find Santa Fe from Newsies in a higher key ANYWHERE, and you're the only person I know of that does this sort of thing but if you can't I understand :)
Here's one (but the quality isn't' as good like these videos, so I would still like to see this channel do one): czcams.com/video/RoY8vk3x1-Y/video.html
Contact us for bespoke backing tracks in any key! Fully orchestrated and professional quality! arbaudiosolutions@gmail.com
The key is in B Major :))
THANK YOU FOR THIS
If you can would you possibly be able to do Michael In the Bathroom from Be More Chill in a slightly higher key? All of the other versions I can find aren't very dynamic and you are such an amazing pianist so I'm sure you could make a brilliant version. X
There are people
And they are publishing his book
And there's a party that they are throwing
And while I've made it very clear that l'm not going He will be going
And that's done
But what's it really about?
Is this really about a party Cathy?
Can I please for a minute stop blaming and say how
I feel?
Is it just that I'm disappointed to be touring again for the summer?
Did I think this would all be much easier than it's turned out to be?
Well then talk to him Cathy, Talk to him.
If he didn't believe in you
He'd never have gotten this far.
If he didn't believe in you
And all of the ten thousand women you are
If he didn't think you could do anything that you ever wanted to
If he wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow
The fact of the matter is Cathy he wouldn't be standing here now.
If he didn't believe in me
We wouldn't be having this fight
If he didn't believe in me
He'd walk out the door and say Cathy you're right
But he never could let that go
Knowing the things about me he knows
Things when he met me four years ago, he knew It never took much convincing to make him believe in you.
Don't you get to be happy Cathy
At some point down the line
Don't you get to relax
Without some new turis to push him yet further from you.
If he's cheering on your side Cathy
Why can't you support his,
Why do you have to feel he's committed some felony
Doing what he always swore he would do?
He doesn't want me to hurt, Doesn't want me to sink, But I know what he thinks.
He thinks I'II be fine.
Just hang on and I'II see.
You can't make him wait til you do to be happy with you.
Would you listen to me?
No one can give me courage.
No one can thicken my skin.
He will not fail so you can be comfortable Cathy, He will not lose because you can't win.
If he didn't believe in you
Then here's where the travelogue ends.
If he didn't believe in me
He couldn't have stood before all of our friends And said this is the life I choose,
This is the thing I can't bear to lose.
Trip us or trap us but we refuse to fall.
That's what I thought we agreed on, Jamie.
If he hadn't believed in me, He wouldn't have loved me at all.
Gorgeous.
Hey Jess, Musical auditions for me are starting soon and I am in major need of a accompaniment for Hold Me in Your Heart from Kinky Boots. That would be awesome! Thanks so much.
Josh Guzman yes hold me in your heart would be wonderful !
If it's up an augmented fourth, what key is this in? Trying to find sheet music I can follow along with.
❤️❤️ Yay!
Beautiful track, Jess.
Hi Jess! Is there a way I could pay you to use this in auditions? I just used this and would love to compensate you besides just crediting you!
please please please please cover another life from bridges of madison county!!! that would mean the world to me
This is awesome!!! Would it be possible for you to also do Soul of a Man from Kinky Boots?
so where do i find the transposed sheet music...?
O meu livro já decidiram publicar
E essa festa celebra isso
Você já deixou bem claro
Que não está indo
Mas eu tô indo sem você
Mas eu queria saber
Se o problema é mesmo essa festa
Uma vez nessa vida
Me diga o que você sentiu
Ou você está chateada
Por ficar distante em outra turnê?
Ou pensava que a vida não ia ser
Tão difícil assim?
Então diz pra mim, Cathy
Diz pra mim
Eu não deixei de acreditar
No que você pode fazer
Eu não deixei de acreditar
Nas dez mil mulheres vivendo em você
Jamais duvidei que você
Fosse capaz de surpreender
Se eu não confiasse que fosse conseguir
Pra ser bem sincero contigo
Eu nem estaria aqui
Eu não deixei de acreditar
Brigamos, pois você não vê
Eu não deixei de acreditar
E às vezes acreditei mais que você
Não faz nem quatro anos que
Uma outra Cathy eu conheci
Que lutaria até conseguir vencer
E sei que ela ainda existe
Aí dentro de você
Não seremos felizes, Cathy?
Ou vai ser sempre assim?
Sempre temos que ter
Um novo problema
Que me afaste mais de você
Por você estou torcendo, Cathy
Então torça por mim
Não me deixe sentir
Que fiz algo de errado,
Se me esforço pra te fazer mais feliz
Eu não quero seu mal
Nem te ver afundar
Mas você tem que aceitar
Que vai ficar bem
Você vai ver que sim
Mas só não me faça sofrer
Esperando você decidir ser feliz
Porque só você mesma
Pode fazê-la enxergar
Não vou falhar só pra te deixar confortável
Não vou perder pra te acompanhar
Se eu deixar de acreditar
A nossa jornada tem fim
Se eu deixar de acreditar
Eu vou esquecer tudo que eu prometi
Assim eu escolhi viver
Mas não suporto perder você
Qualquer problema nós vamos resolver
Foi o que nós prometemos, Cathy
Se eu não pudesse acreditar
Jamais amaria você
This is awesome!! Thank you!! Anyway you can transpose Nobody Needs to Know for a female voice too:)???

Would it be possible to do some songs in the musical Amelie, like Stay or Halfway?
Please do The Mad Hatter from Wonderland the musical. Love that song
Hi! Could someone please tell me what key this is in? I'd like to look for sheet music! Thanks!
Hi I’m pretty sure this starts in Bmaj 👍
It would be amazing if you could do nobody needs to know
Is there anywhere I can buy the sheet music for this? :)
Could you do Does she know, by Astrid S? Please!!!
Does anyone know if this works for a baritone as well ?
What key is this in now?
Does anyone know what key this is in? :)
There are people
And they are publishing my book
And there's a party
That they are throwing.
And while you've made it very clear that you're not going,
I will be going.
So that is done.
what's this really about?
And Is it really about a party, Cathy?
Can we just for a minute
Stop blaming and say what we feel?
Is it just that you're disappointed
To be touring again for the summer?
Did you think this would all be much easier
Than it's turned out to be?
Well, then talk to me, Cathy.
Talk to me.
If I didn't believe in you,

I will not lose cause you can't win.
If I didn't believe in you,
Then here's where the travelogue ends.
If I didn't believe in you,
I couldn't have got up before all of our friends
And say, "This is the life I choose
This is the thing I can't bear to lose.
Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall."
That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy.
If I didn’t believed in you,
I wouldn't have loved you at all.
Now why don't you put your dress on and we'll go, okay?
Cathy? Can we just do that, please?
Please?

Hay personas que me van a publicar
Organizaron una fiesta
Y yo se que no te gustan estas fiestas
Son importante
He iré
Pero el problema en verdad
El problema en verdad es esta fiesta Cathy?
Por un segundo acepta tu parte y ya
Tal vez sigas decepcionada
En que irás nuevamente a Ohio
Si la suerte no te ha llegado
No me culpes a mi
Solo háblame Cathy
Háblame
Si yo ya no creyera en ti
No habríamos llegado hasta aquí
Si yo ya no creyera en ti
Y ene las mil versiones que existen de ti
Si yo ya no tuviera fe
En lo que eres y puedes ser
Si yo no pudiera ver la luz que hay en ti
El punto de todo es Cathy
Que lo que soy hoy es por ti
Si yo ya no creyera en ti
Y te hablo desde el corazón
Si yo ya no creyera en ti
Diría que si te daría la razón
Más eso nunca va a pasar
Eso más bien te haría mal
Hace 5 años vi algo en tu mirar
Y desde entonces no puedo dejarte de admirar
Cuando es tiempo de ser felices
Cuando tiempo de estar y por fin respirar
Sin tanto problemas que solo nos hacen dudar
Si yo siempre te he apoyado
Por que me haces dudar
Por que me haces sentir como si fuera un error
Por siempre intentar de buscar lo mejor
No te quiero dañar
Quiero verte triunfar
Y te juro que si
Si vas a estar bien
Solo espera y verás
Pero no me intentes hundir
Si no puedes nadar
Me podrías oír
Nadie podrá ayudarte
Nadie te puede salvar
No fracasaré para que estes cómoda Cathy
No me apagare por tu falta de luz
Si yo ya no creyera en ti
Yo ya no querría seguir
Si yo ya no creyera en ti
No hubiera tenido el valor de decir
Con ella yo quiero decido estar
Ella es la que me niego a dejar
Triunfe o fracase no importa si tú estás
Eso fue lo que juramos
Cathy
Si yo no hubiera creído en ti
No te hubiera amado jamás
What key is this in?
this is amazing! i can never seem to get the first note though, what is it??
beca barton It’s an E. “There are people...” is E - F# - G# - B.
If E is too low, try replacing the first E with an F# (so you’d have two F#s in a row).
Okay I know how many requests you get but I have looked everywhere and there are no instrumental/piano versions of Raining from Rocky so if you could pleaseee do it that would be amazing!
I know you’re probably overwhelmed with requests but it’d be great if you could do nobody needs to know xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Cathy, you're right"
But I never could let that go
Knowing the things about you I know
Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew
It never took much convincing
To make me believe in you
Don't we get to be happy, Cathy?
At some point down the line
Don't we get to relax?
Without some new tsuris
To push me yet further from you?
And if I'm cheering on your side, Cathy
Why can't you support mine?
Why do I have to feel
I've committed some felony
Doing what I always swore I would do?
I don't want you to hurt
I don't want you to sink
But you know what I think?
I think you'll be fine!
Just hang on and you'll see-
But don't make me wait till you do
To be happy with you
Will you listen to me?!
No one can give you courage
No one can thicken your skin
I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy
I will not lose because you can't win
If I didn't believe in you
And here's where the travelogue ends
If I didn't believe in you
I couldn't have stood before all of our friends
And said, "This is the life I choose-
This is the thing I can't bear to lose
Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall"
That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy
If I hadn't believed in you
I wouldn't have loved you at all
There are people
And they are publishing my book
And there's a party that they are throwing
And while you've made it very clear that you're not going
I will be going
And that's done
But what's it really about?
Is it really about a party, Cathy?
Can we please for a minute stop blaming
And say what you feel?
Is it just that you're disappointed
To be going again to Ohio?
Did you think this would all be much easier
Than it's turned out to be?
Well, then talk to me, Cathy
Talk to me
If I didn't believe in you
We'd never have gotten this far
If I didn't believe in you
And all of the ten thousand women you are
If I didn't think you could do
Anything you ever wanted to
If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow
The fact of the matter is, Cathy
I wouldn't be standing here now
If I didn't believe in you
We wouldn't be having this fight
If I didn't believe in you
I'd walk out the door and say,
"Cathy, you're right"
But I never could let that go
Knowing the things about you I know
Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew
It never took much convincing
To make me believe in you
Don't we get to be happy, Cathy?
At some point down the line
Don't we get to relax?
Without some new tsuris
To push me yet further from you?
And if I'm cheering on your side, Cathy
Why can't you support mine?
Why do I have to feel
I've committed some felony
Doing what I always swore I would do?
I don't want you to hurt
I don't want you to sink
