More about this title

About the Composer: Shay Mooney

Shay Mooney is a country pop vocalist and songwriter best known as one half of the duo Dan + Shay. His work bridges traditional country sensibilities with contemporary pop sensibilities, making him relevant across multiple musical audiences. As a composer and performer, Mooney understands how to craft melodies that stick with listeners while maintaining musical substance.

In educational contexts, Mooney's compositions offer students access to music they hear on the radio and streaming platforms, closing the gap between what young musicians play in rehearsal and what they listen to outside the classroom.

Why we love this

Victor López's arrangement captures the melodic warmth and emotional directness of the original without oversimplifying it for young players. The Grade 2.5 voicing feels accessible rather than dumbed-down, giving your students real parts to engage with while keeping the recognizable hook intact. Programming this alongside traditional concert fare signals to audiences that you take their musical world seriously.

What to expect

Warm and contemporary. The arrangement honors the song's introspective emotional core while delivering the accessibility that made it a radio staple. Your students will recognize themselves in the music, which changes the energy of the entire rehearsal.

Who it's for

Young bands ready to play music their audiences and peers actually know. This works for groups at the Grade 2-3 level who need repertoire that builds confidence while maintaining musical integrity. It's especially valuable for directors seeking to broaden their concert programming beyond traditional wind band literature.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody across your woodwind section so the tune floats above the harmonic foundation rather than getting lost in it.
  • Let the tempo breathe slightly on the more expansive phrases; young bands often rush when they're comfortable with the material.
  • Pay attention to the dynamic shape within each phrase, particularly in the quieter moments that set up the song's key moments.
  • Record a rehearsal run-through and listen back for rhythmic precision in the rhythm section; these kinds of pop arrangements depend on steady, confident timekeeping.

How to use it

Slot this into a spring concert that blends light classics with contemporary favorites, or use it as your opening number to establish an engaging, student-centered tone for the evening. It's also an ideal selection for pops concerts, community events, or programs featuring young band repertoire where you want something with genuine musical substance that still connects with a broad audience.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining lyrical melodic lines across multiple phrases
  • Maintaining rhythmic precision in pop/rock contexts
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment textures
  • Interpreting dynamic shapes in contemporary arrangements
  • Reading straightforward harmonic progressions at Grade 2.5 level
