10,000 Miles Away
« on: October 17, 2010, 08:53:52 PM »

I'm quite taken with this merry little ditty.

I just wondered if anybody either had them written already or could jot the dots for this ??

From listening to the first 30 secs, the song sounds like a hyped-up version an old Australian folksong by that name. Sorry but I'd had enough of it by then ...

The 'standard' version of 10,000 miles is in simple major (would be D on their kit) and this modal version is novel to me. But if you take the sequence of Dmaj  buttons (I did it on piano),  start on B note (=6th mode, relative minor), and sing it at double speed, all in pirate kit - you get more or less what they are doing.

Wears the beauty  ;)

Thanks Simon.

I think that version and the YT movie version are different though..
