Hi everyone :)

I'm really, really happy to share these piano arrangements from @paramore's stunning record 'This Is Why'. If you've been following my channel for a while, you'll know it's no secret how much Paramore have inspired me throughout my life.

They're the sole reason I started this channel, I've been arranging their music since I was a kid, and I just recently turned 30 which is such a wild concept...Their music has been with me through all my highs, and lows, and they've just remained a constant at every key stage in my life. They often say how they've grown up with their fans and I couldn't relate to this more. When I first started arranging, I wasn't particularly good, but I've forever strived to improve where I can. It's wild to think how some of my earlier arrangements sound from the early days, compared to where I'm at now. It's always a work in progress, so I feel growth with them also manifests creatively for me which has been such a privilege.

Arranging their music feels like home, and is truly one of my favourite things to do. I've been so lucky to have their support in the past, but also to have the support of you all here means the absolute world to me.

This Is Why is such an intricate and detailed record, it was absolutely incredible to pick out as many parts as I could and arrange it for the piano. It's truly been a pleasure, and I've always been inspired by Hayley, Taylor and Zac's work. 'This Is Why' is my personal favourite Paramore record to date. I used to have a dream of playing on stage with them when I was a kid, even if I could just hit one note on the keys I'd be so grateful! But yeah, the older I get the more I think that'll stay a dream, but it's still a dream I'll hold on to.

If anyone has continued to listen to my Paramore arrangements through the years, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I do this because I absolutely adore it, and a huge thank you to Paramore for being such a huge inspiration, for creating the beautiful art you make, for being such a huge part of mine and so many other peoples lives, and for sticking it out through the highs and lows no mater what. We're all on this journey together.
