Portal 2 – Turret Wife Serenade sheet music

Here’s a pretty song from an Easter Egg Valve hid in the game. Apparently the turrets are more musical than previously anticipated. Here’s a piano version. I might arrange an a cappella / choir version if there’s any interest. Yes, no?

The title, as with most songs from Portal 2 is speculative. It’s currently named either “Laser vs. Turret” or “Turret Wife Serenade.” Valve confirmed the title on their official soundtrack page. Keep being awesome, Valve.

Turret Opera (Cara Mia) – Piano!

Based on comments on a fellow video-game-music-playing pianist, Taioo, piano sheet music for the Turret Opera is in high demand. So far, only the Choral / SATB version was available, which I arranged yesterday. Now there’s a piano version!

This is the as-of-now untitled operatic song at the end of the game. Due to lack of official word from Valve, it is referred to as The Fat Lady SingsTurret Opera or O Cara Mia, Addio. It was composed by Valve’s awesome in-house composer Mike Morasky. Lyrics by Ellen McLain.

Portal 2 – Want You Gone

I just beat Portal 2. Here’s some piano sheet music for the ending song, Want You Gone, by Jonathan Coulton. Mild spoilers, in case you haven’t gotten around to playing it yet.

Edit: 4/24/2011: Like this one? I just finished arranging the Turret Opera (Cara Mia) as well!

Lyrics

In case you want to sing along:

Well here we are again
It’s always such a pleasure
Remember when you tried
to kill me twice?
Oh how we laughed and laughed
Except I wasn’t laughing
Under the circumstances
I’ve been shockingly nice

You want your freedom?
Take it
That’s what I’m counting on

I used to want you dead
but
Now I only want you gone

She was a lot like you
(Maybe not quite as heavy)
Now little Caroline is in here too
One day they woke me up
So I could live forever
It’s such a shame the same
will never happen to you

You’ve got your
short sad
life left
That’s what I’m counting on
I’ll let you get right to it
Now I only want you gone

Goodbye my only friend
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny
if it weren’t so sad
Well you have been replaced
I don’t need anyone now
When I delete you maybe
I’ll stop feeling so bad

Go make some new disaster
That’s what I’m counting on
You’re someone else’s problem
Now I only want you gone
Now I only want you gone
Now I only want you…
gone
