More about this title
About the Composer: Paul Epworth
Paul Epworth is a British record producer and songwriter whose work has defined the sound of contemporary pop and rock. His production credits span artists across multiple genres, and his ability to craft songs with both commercial appeal and genuine musical substance has made him one of the most sought-after collaborators in the industry.
For music educators, Epworth's songs offer an accessible entry point into contemporary songwriting and production. His arrangements maintain melodic clarity and structural logic even as they layer in modern production elements, making them ideal teaching vehicles for young musicians encountering current popular music.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures everything that made the original a global phenomenon without overwhelming Grade 2 players. James Kazik's orchestration keeps the signature groove and soulful character intact while distributing the musical material across your ensemble in a way that feels natural and supportive of developing musicianship.
What to expect
The bluesy, gospel-tinged movement underneath the melody carries genuine soul. Even at this grade level, the arrangement lets players feel the weight of that groove, with plenty of rhythmic interplay between sections that keeps the performance energized without becoming frivolous.
Who it's for
Concert bands working at Grade 2 level who want to program contemporary music with real emotional weight. This works equally well for groups balancing a traditional concert season with a bridge to what your students actually listen to.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the feel to the eighth-note subdivision rather than fighting the groove. Young players often rush pop styles; a metronome click on the eighth note helps everyone stay relaxed within the tempo.
- Balance the front line carefully. The melody wants to sit naturally in the mix rather than jump out; treat it like a conversation rather than a proclamation.
- Shape the opening and closing sections with dynamics and space. The recorded version relies on production subtlety, so chamber-like dynamics in the quieter moments will reward your ensemble's attention to detail.
- Give the section parts independence where they appear. Secondary figures in supporting parts are just as important to the groove as anything in the lead voice.
How to use it
Slip this into a pop or contemporary music concert, or use it as a closer for a multi-genre program where you want to end on something your audience already knows and loves. At 2:15, it's substantial enough to stand on its own without dominating a concert segment.
Skills your students will build
- Maintaining consistent groove across repeated sections
- Responding to jazz and soul inflections in a pop context
- Ensemble balance when melody and accompaniment share equal importance
- Reading and executing syncopated rhythmic figures
