About the Artist: Vertical Horizon

Vertical Horizon formed in Philadelphia in the early 1990s and became one of the defining voices of pop rock during the late 1990s and 2000s. The band, led by vocalist and guitarist Matt Scannell, built their reputation on radio-friendly anthems with genuine emotional depth and accessible melodic writing.

Their breakthrough came with the album "Everything You Want," which established them as songwriters who understood how to craft songs that connected with broad audiences while maintaining musical integrity. For music educators, their catalog offers contemporary examples of strong harmonic progressions and singable melodies that resonate with modern students.

Why we love this

Students recognize this song immediately, which cuts through the usual resistance to learning new material. The piano/vocal/chords format works beautifully for accompanying singers or as a reference for teaching song structure, and the melody sits in a comfortable range for many voices.

What to expect

The song carries an earnest, uplifting quality characteristic of late-1990s pop rock, with enough melodic clarity to feel immediately singable. The piano arrangement supports the vocal line without unnecessary complexity, creating space for genuine emotional expression.

Who it's for

Pianists accompanying vocalists in contemporary pop styles, singers looking to learn a well-known song from their generation, and music students studying pop songwriting and harmonic structures. This works equally well for private studio instruction or as a rehearsal reference in an ensemble setting.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line so it sits naturally over the piano voicings rather than fighting against them; let the accompaniment support rather than overshadow the melody
  • Maintain steady tempo control through the verse sections, which can drift if the accompaniment pulls too far ahead
  • Use the chord symbols to explore reharmonization options if accompanying a student singer, or to understand the harmonic framework for transposition

How to use it

This works well in programs featuring contemporary popular music, student artist spotlights, or repertoire that bridges classical training with modern song literature. Consider pairing it with other accessible pop or rock songs to build a thematic set that shows students how chord progressions and melody work across familiar material.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and interpreting chord symbols for accompanying singers
  • Balancing melody with accompaniment in pop/rock voicings
  • Understanding contemporary pop song structure and harmonic progressions
  • Transposing and adapting material to suit different vocal ranges
