the song you refer to is butterflies and hurricanes - the piano interlude in the middle was composed by matt himself(the singer in the band) and it is far simpler than anythin rach ever wrote.

dont feel bad though - this would fool any newbie
come to Da SDC forum where you may learn about such things
