About My Life Is Going On (La Casa de Papel)

At 92 BPM in D minor, "My Life Is Going On" sits in a tempo range that feels deceptively relaxed until you try to keep the picked or strummed accompaniment steady and expressive throughout. The song works beautifully as a fingerpicking piece in E Standard tuning, where the open D minor voicings ring naturally and give the performance that brooding, cinematic weight the track is known for. The challenge is not speed but control: sustaining a consistent dynamic, shaping phrases so the guitar breathes with the vocal melody, and resisting the urge to over-play. Cecilia Krull's delivery is understated, so your guitar part needs to serve the mood rather than compete with it. If you are arranging the melody on a single guitar, the transition between bass notes and melody notes in the mid-section is where most players lose evenness. Use the Practice Toolbar to loop that passage slowed down until the two voices feel separate and controlled before bringing it back up to 92 BPM.

• Playing in E Standard tuning, D minor voicings ring openly on guitar, giving the arrangement the dark, cinematic tone the song demands.
• At 92 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the real challenge is maintaining a consistent, quiet dynamic that supports the vocal rather than overpowering it.
• Fingerpicking players should focus on separating the bass line and melody voices cleanly, using the Practice Toolbar slowed down to build independence between the two.
