This song is a request by a reader. The phrase “擦肩而过” in Mandarin, according to http://www.nciku.com, means “to pass somebody at shoulder-rubbing distance; to be very close but not quite there”.

This song has been posted upon the request of a reader. I believe the video should be simple enough to follow.

I have divided this song into 2 parts. Part 1 is repeated a few times. It should be quite easy to follow the video.

Part 1 should be repeated. However, for illustration purpose, I did not do so. This is the case with all my videos.
The following is a related video someone introduced to me on YouTube. Most of you might have seen it. If not, do check it out… the little boy is pretty amazing!

I have divided the song into 4 parts.
Part 3 is actually an interlude.
Part 4 is the bridge, and it’s in a different key.
For those who are interested in the actual keys: the song is in the key of A, whereas the bridge is in the key of G.

This song has been suggested by a few readers. Thank you for your suggestion!
I have divided it into 3 parts. Please note that Part 1a and Part 1b only differ in their endings. The same goes for Part 3a and Part 3b.
Here it is…

Firstly, let me repeat what I have said several times before, in case you haven’t read my previous postings, i.e., the reason I play with 1 finger on my left hand and 2 fingers on my right hand is to make it easy for you to identify the notes I play on the keyboard. So, please feel free to use any number fingers and whichever fingers easiest for you. For example, for this song, it would be easier to use your right-hand pinky to play that highest note rather than moving your fingers around like I did in the video.
Also, I always try to minimize the range of notes captured on video, so that it is not too difficult to see what I play under a low resolution. That means, you are free to spread your left and right hands further apart, to play lower bass notes, or higher treble notes. You don’t have to follow within the range of notes I use. I hope this is clear.
There is nothing much I need to say about this song. I think it’s quite straightforward to follow the video. I know I didn’t step on the suspend pedal very consistently. Hehe. Sorry about that.

I know, I know. I played too fast on the video! The tempo in my head was going very fast! But it has been done, and I’m not willing to go back to recording it all over again. Anyway, since there’s a lot of repetition (i.e., there aren’t a lot of changes to chords), I believe one can still see what I play quite clearly on the video?

There was a request to demonstrate how to play the melody along with the accompaniment for this song. I have to warn you that it’s going to be difficult to see what I play on the video. That’s because there are so many fingers there!
Anyway, I hope you can see what notes I pressed.
