I have also learned the first 18 or so bars of the song too…

UPDATE: I’ve finished transcribing the song, and someday I’ll record myself playing it. For now, here’s the sheet music I made for those wishing to learn it.

This is what I came up with, based on memory of playing it for years. I didn’t even know what it was called until a friend told me last night.

Once again, China does their censorship disappearing act. Last week, China blocked access to iTunes because olympians were downloading the Songs for Tibet (iTunes link) tribute album in defyance of China’s iron-fist internet censorship. I’ve had a chance to check out the remix of Hide and Seek, and it sounds pretty good. It definitely has an eastern motif to it. Well now China has figured out a way to simply block access to the one album without having to block the entire store. Wonderful.

It seems as though nothing will stop the determined China from protecting its citizens from the truths. If only this sort of vigor could be harnessed and put to use for true good!
