Words and music by Rachel Platten and Dave Basset; Arranged by Elena Fortin
I have been working on an arrangement project to arrange and post videos of songs that I consider to be important either in the way they touch listeners, in how they are used, or if they have stood the test of time.
“…like a small boat … sending big waves into motion“–Fight Song has been used as a rallying song, a pick-me up song, an inspirational song, and a piece to remind ourselves to be confident. The piece was written by Rachel Platten and Dave Bassett and has become an anthem for any person that is going through a challenge. Whether it is dealing with a physical illness or health challenge, personal trial, loss, or life’s difficulties, this song has been a comfort to many.
The song was recorded in 2014 and won iHeartRadio’s Music Award for Best Lyrics. When I pick songs to arrange, they are often ones that play over and over in my brain. I’ve been working on this one for several weeks. It is a very powerful song about faith and belief.
About the arrangement
My arrangement is for the early advanced player. The arrangement is powerful and starts quite simply but builds and builds into powerful repetitions of the chorus with arpeggios in the left hand and in the right hand. It makes use of the powerful bass end of the piano too! I hope that you enjoy it!
