ALL BY MYSELF - ERIC CARMEN




My post titled "ALL BY MYSELF - A PLAGIARISM" was commented by somebody from www.ericcarmen.com

The person wrote as follow:
"'When I was writing that album, I was listening to my favorite music which was Rachmaninoff. "All By Myself" incorporated a melody from his 2nd piano concerto as the verse.

I thought that it's a crime that there are some spectacular melodies in classical music that the general public doesn't get exposed to. I thought this was a way for me to bring some of the classical music that I love, incorporate it into a pop song for a new decade of kids, and introduce them to those beautiful melodies that they might not otherwise hear.'

I think he's also said he thought they were in the public domain when he used them, but ended up paying the Rachmaninoff estate. "

I really like the song. The lyrics just blended into it! Watch below - Celine Dion's version!




Please find below a score of ALL BY MYSELF.
