One night to be con fused, one night to speed up truth; we had a prom ise made, four hands and then a way.
Both un der in flu ence, we had di vine sense to know what to say; mind is a ra zor blade.
To call for hands of a bove
to lean on would n’t be good e nough
for me, no.
One night of ma gic rush; the start, a sim ple touch.
One night to push and scream,
and then re lief.
Ten days of per fect tunes, the col ours red and blue; we had a prom ise made,
we were in (Eb5)love.

you knew the hand of the (Abmaj7omit3)dev il.
And you

About “Heartbeats”
- Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Heartbeats" suitable for a pianist?
- Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Eb, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Heartbeats" by José Gonzalez in?
- The backing track is in Eb at 88 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Heartbeats" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Heartbeats"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Heartbeats", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Heartbeats" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
- Can I download the accompaniment for "Heartbeats"?
- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
- Who wrote "Heartbeats"?
- "Heartbeats" was originally performed by José Gonzalez. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
- What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
- Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Eb, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Heartbeats" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
- Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
- Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
- Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
- Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
