A Child's Prayer - Walkthrough from A Sunday Afternoon Album

Okay, the next song here from the new piano book, A Sunday Afternoon, is called A Child's Prayer, written by Janis Joplin. This is also from the Primary Children's Songbook, and this is a fun one because it's a duet. You know, when you're singing it, you have the boys singing and the girls singing, and they go together. And obviously we've got two hands, but you got to play a bass. But I do try to get both melodies in here at the same time at some point, and it'll take maybe a little bit of work to kind of pull out both parts and kind of understand what's going on there. It's not, it's not that difficult. This is, I would call this an intermediate song, uh, at best. This is not advanced. Um, so enjoy. I'll probably stop a couple times and talk about what I'm doing here. So up to now, we basically played the first kind of the one part, the girl's part, and then the guy's part. And now we're gonna— this is where we're gonna start bringing them together, and it's going to be a little bit difficult sometimes to hear both of those things, but try to pay attention and try to focus on bringing out the, you know, so that's playing there, and you have— so I'm playing both at the same time. And, uh, yeah, it's kind of fun, so go for it. So that's a pretty simple song. It combines both of them together and then it kind of goes back and forth between them on the last verse, up high and pretty. And you know, I think it's an okay one. I don't have to love all of my songs the same. This one's just kind of okay. I wrote it 10 years ago, and if I were to write it today, I'd probably do it a little bit differently. But it's fun to play through, and again, just another song that'll add to the spirit on a Sunday afternoon. So, um, on to the next song.
