This is a must-see video! Check out as father-daughter duo rocks ‘Johnny B. Goode’ with a fantastic cover.
This is a timeless classic rock song. At the start of the video, we see a young girl with a drum set sitting on top of a baby grand piano. Her father is at the keys. He begins to play, and she accompanies him. The duo is really talented. They hit all of their notes and stayed on the beat of this challenging song.
The two hold such composure. They play relaxed and steady. You can see as they record the song in the background on the laptop. They have worked hard to create this performance. Their staccato hits are amazing, as every beat sings out. The daughter stays focused and poised. She hits all of her cues, and her dad does amazing work running up and down the piano. Johnny B. Goode was initially composed by Chuck Berry in 1958. The song has lyrics, even though this video is an instrumental version. The words reveal that Johnny B. Goode is about a boy from Louisiana who cannot read but can play the guitar.
The chorus sings:
‘Go Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode’
This song is upbeat and hopeful that everyone has skills, they just need to sharpen them. I love how this father and daughter are living out the message of the song. They are playing their instruments and growing as musicians on the piano and drums. They adorably encourage one another with a fist bump at the end of the song.
It is very special when a family can share in a skill together and witnessing this dad and daughter reminds us of the gift of enjoying music with others. God created music to express emotions. The Psalms use music to share feelings and life situations. Whether it is celebration or sorrow, we can go to God today.
