'The Way It Is' is the classic song from the 1986 debut album of the same name by Bruce Hornsby & The Range which became a multi-platinum global hit and earned the band a Grammy for Best New Artist. I first heard this song in my mid-teens (many moons ago!) and it completely changed the way I approached the piano. Until then I'd focused on classical music, but Bruce Hornsby's playing inspired me to train my ear and painstakingly transcribe both piano solos. Endless hours were spent with my piano and a cassette deck (we're talking the 80s here - and yes, I didn't have a life!) to painstakingly reconstruct both solos - I couldn't find any sheet music for the song and there were no YouTube tutorials back then, so it all had to be done by careful listening, over and over again! Since then, I've played the song countless times live over the years with various bands and have finally distilled those many hours of effort into this carefully crafted backing track. I hope you think the results are worth it. A small creative note: The only aspect of the original recording I chose to reinterpret was the drum part. The original uses the same drum loop throughout, so I've added a few tasteful fills and variations to give it a little more movement while staying faithful to the feel of the original. If you're looking for a professional instrumental, karaoke version, backing track, or practice track for "The Way It Is", this version has been carefully produced to stay true to the original recording while providing a polished accompaniment for singers and musicians. #TheWayItIs #BruceHornsby #karaoke
