Safe And Sound — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
13 people have learned this song
Watch "Safe And Sound" by Capital Cities in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of C, 115 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chords like Am7, Dm9, and Fmaj7 — they sound jazzy but sit nicely under your fingers in the key of C, since most use only white keys with small adjustments.
Your left hand drives the feel with an octave bass pattern, so start there: practice jumping cleanly between those octave intervals at a slow tempo until the distances feel automatic, then gradually bring it up toward 115 BPM.
The trickiest transitions tend to be moving between Fmaj7 and Fsus2 (just one note changes, so keep your hand planted) and catching the G6 without hesitating.
I'd suggest looping the verse progression hands-separately first, then combining at about 80 BPM before speeding up.
Watch your rhythm — the upbeat pop groove needs steady eighth-note energy, so avoid dragging during chord switches.
Once this clicks, you'll have real confidence handling seventh and ninth chords in any pop song that comes next.
