All Out Of Love / Air Supply (Piano Tutorial)

This pop ballad by Air Supply, released in 1980. It reached number 2 in the US and number 11 in the UK.
The song is considered to be one of the Greatest Love songs, placing 92nd in VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Love Songs.

Those of use who like such sweet song deserve to play it and sing their heart out so there we go.
In this piano tutorial I'm focusing on playing arpeggios.
Playing the notes of a chord consecutively (harp style).
A broken chord in which the individual notes are sounded one after the other instead of simultaneously.

You can replace the order of the notes when you play the arpeggios or create a different rhythm that you prefer.
I really encourage you to experiement with different patterns.

A tip from me: The most succesful patterns are those who encourage the drive of the song.
The one I suggested for example plays sixteens on the first beat. the last last one is a Syncopation.
What I did was Deliberatly upsetting the meter or pulse of a composition by temporary shifting of the accent to a weak beat or an off-beat.

And here are the Lyrics...

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Chorus

Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

Chorus(3x)
