When I originally tackled this project, Train’s contribution was actually the kind of song I didn’t really want to include. I first heard Train as a gloomy band my college roommate loved. Later in their career they discovered that they could sound pretty cheerful, and I guess that’s also why they later did “Play That Song,” or so I always assumed, because it wasn’t that easy for them to keep the new version of themselves going, especially as radio hitmakers. “Heart and Soul” itself is a classic bit of piano material that a lot of people learning how to play like to pick out on the keys. I loved when Lost had it show up with Jack’s doomed love in the flashbacks, who was played by Julie Bowen, whom I’d fallen in love with previously thanks to Ed, and before she found lasting success in ModernFamily.
Oh, I have no doubt. At work I have toy pianos and such. They rarely have enough keys. But I try. I’m also partial to the James Bond theme for whatever reason.

I enjoy teaching "Heart and Soul" to students. It's actually a satisfying duet for players of differing ability.
