About “Wade In The Water

Why does the accompaniment for "Wade In The Water" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Wade In The Water" by Eva Cassidy in?
The backing track is in Gb at 112 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 "Wade In The Water" with this accompaniment?
