I want to live
where (F)soul meets bod y
and let the sun
wrap it’s arms
a round me.
And bathe my skin in wat er cool

feel what it’s like to be new.
’Cause in my head
there’s a Grey
hound sta tion
where I send my thoughts
to far off des ti na tions so (Dm)they may have a chance
of find in’ a place where they’re far more suit ed than here.

We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shov els but I (Dm)know our filth y hands
can wash one an oth er’s and not one speck will re main.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Soul Meets Body" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 125 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
