It’s a sin

PET SHOP BOYS

YouTube video thumbnail

“It’s a Sin” by Pet Shop Boys is an iconic song, known for its energetic rhythm, dramatic intensity, and emotionally charged lyrics. In my piano arrangement, I’ve reimagined the piece with a slower tempo and a more melancholic tone, allowing the melody to breathe and explore the themes of guilt and introspection more deeply.

Personal Note

I chose to adapt “It’s a Sin” in this more introspective style to reveal the emotional nuances often hidden beneath its upbeat original version. This slower interpretation highlights the tension and release within the melody, offering an opportunity for more intimate expression. My goal with this arrangement is to provide pianists of all levels with the tools to connect emotionally with the piece while preserving its essence.

This version invites you to play with subtlety and depth, transforming a dynamic pop anthem into a delicate and introspective piano piece.

Lyrics ▼

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)
