Introduction
Have you ever been awake just when the sun is starting to rise? Can you picture first beams of light coming over the horizon? Maybe just the first few streams of light peeking through the shades in the quiet of the morning? The sun continues to rise little by little and the sky gets brighter and brighter until it is finally morning. That’s what it sounds like to listen to this song.
While you are listening, use your imagination and try to remember when you have had an experience like that. Is it the same? Is it different?

I covered most of the really tricky stuff in the video above so make sure you have watched that. If you need to, you can play it over and over again until you understand. Once you understand the tricky repeats and endings, everything else should be pretty similar to something done before.
One of the most important parts of the song is the way that it sounds in the way that it makes you draw a picture in your mind of the morning sun rising. Keep working on playing it until you can get it smooth enough to really sound like a beautiful sunrise.
Take it slow and remember to break it up into phrases.
