Sigrid (she's from Norway) brought Leonard Cohen's 1988 tune, "Everybody Knows", to a whole new level for the 2017 Superhero film "Justice League"!

I LOVE this haunting tune and fooled around with it, probably over a year ago, but now that I've found this GREAT cover by Wei Nin - it's time to make sure I learn it right!

Even if you can't learn this by ear, Wei Nin's fingers are clearly visible for you to follow! ...there's also sheet music!

Everybody Knows - Wei Nin's SHEET MUSIC

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows...

I've had a chance to take a closer look at Wei Nin's video & sheet music and compared them to <a style="color: #0000ff" href="">Sigrid's recording of "Everybody Knows"</a></strong></span>. </p> <p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>I think this will be a great piece to explore different bowing, phrasing and especially dynamics - to get more of the Sigrid recording appeal. </strong></span></p> <p> </p> <p>Wei Nin's use of positions is interesting and great practice, but I might change some of that - maybe also change, add/remove some notes for more expression. There's some great small runs of notes in the accompaniment that can be picked up/added.</p> <p>I also want to see how I can best utilize my C string - may come in handy to add more powerful harmony touches. Some chord changes in Sigrid's are very powerful, emotionally - a few select double stops or broken chords might do the trick to convey them. </p> <p>You can see from the lyrics, this song starts with 3 verses - each with 6 phrases plus a refrain of 2 more, then 1 chorus of 8 phrases, followed by 3 more verses - each 6+2 refrain phrases.</p> <p>The whole 1st verse should be soft/unaccented - nonchalant. Tension builds slowly as the song progresses through the powerful 3rd verse - with a massive, release of longer notes & strong bowing in the chorus. </p> <p>More percussive/accented bowing techniques would be great in places - especially in the last half of the 3rd verse, but also in the 4th into a powerful 5th verse. </p> <p>The dynamics lower some in the 6th verse like a sober warning. Needs a very soft last 2 measures (last phrase of the refrain) in the 5th & 6th verses - it has a very dramatic effect. </p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://i.giphy.com/media/dgK22exekwOLm/giphy.webp" width="121" class="sfimageleft spUserImage" alt="" /></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #000000">If I use NO back-up</span>, does anyone have additional thoughts on this, or suggestions to try for a SOLO piece to feel more like</strong> <span style="color: #0000ff"><strong><a style="color: #0000ff" href="<iframe title="Sigrid - Everybody Knows [Lyrics]" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AjQk70d9xMA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen>">Sigrid's recording of "Everybody Knows"</a></strong></span><strong>? </strong></p> <p><em>- Emily</em></p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPluginSection spCenter' style='width: auto;min-height: auto'><div id='ShareThisTopicIndex127963' class='ShareThisTopicIndex spLeft'><span class='st_facebook_large' st_url='https%3A%2F%2Ffiddlerman.com%2Fforum%2Frock-and-pop%2Feverybody-knows-sigrid%2F%23p127963' st_title='EVERYBODY KNOWS - Sigrid!' st_summary='I've had a chance to take a closer look at Wei Nin's video & sheet music and compared them to <a style="color: #0000ff" href="">Sigrid's recording of "Everybody Knows".
