A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

Hey everyone,
This one's a special request from one of our friends! They asked us to arrange Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years," and honestly, we couldn't be happier. If you went through high school in the early 2010s, this song was basically our anthem. It's one of those rare songs that’s so simple and so honest, it just hits you right in the feels.
And you know what? That’s exactly why it’s a perfect song for the violin. The violin isn't always about playing a million notes a minute. Sometimes, it’s about taking your time with a note, really leaning into it. "A Thousand Years" is like that. It gives you a chance to work on your long, smooth bows and practice your vibrato, letting the melody swell and breathe. You're not just playing notes; you're singing through your instrument.
Remember watching the movie and getting goosebumps when this song came on? The violin has this crazy ability to do that same thing. It can tell a whole story without needing any words.
If you’ve ever wanted to play a song that’s all heart, this is the one. We can help you start with it.
