I have very little background knowledge. I used to take lessons when i was younger, but i’d really like to learn to play some actual songs. i can already play the first part of unfaithful because i looked it up on youtube, but sometimes, you just can’t find a good video to teach you. but, yeah, anyways. i’d really like to take piano up again.
Well, if you want to go classical, you might want to get lessons or at least find some level One books at get crackin’
If you want to go the more "pop" route, check out my tutorial series
http://www.youtube.com/user/WillTingMusic
where I hopefully teach people improv and playing by ear.
If you aren’t interested in that (and can’t read sheet music) Google how to read sheet music. You will find plenty of sites teaching the basics.
Lastly, free sheet music can be found here.

After finding something you like, do hands separate and take it SLOW.
Good luck!

I suggest learning a little bit of theory if you don’t know much before jumping into songs.
If you learn how to play the major, and minor scales, and how chords work you will find it much easier to learn to play songs.
This site has lessons on songs, and theory.
