blindboygrunt Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 del said to me a while ago that i do too much slow unhappy dirgey stuff , so here's a song about a woman who lives alone after losing her husband and son in a mining accident . turning to alcohol to get her through the days :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ADLbB07Q0w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Very, very nice ol' Boy ! I like it a lot, illustrates how a good melody and feeling make a song rather than schmanzy chord progressions (Muse, Radiohead, Placebo excepted). Delivered with feeling and boy, doesnt the J-45 sound great, it really is the ultimate backing guitar, aint it, aint it .. ? Now, I reckon you and Del should have a Sunday shoot out sometime, coz like it or not you two have more in common than against. And, I must say you have a bit of the Glen Hansards about you in style, delivery and .... you actually look a bit like him, at leas in this clip ... except your guitar is fully intact. Good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'll second that ! Love the line about the boots, and the imagery of a 40 year-old coffee cup. Just a damn good song. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Funny enough, I almost never really listen to the lyrics, I just get lost in the melody and mood of the song. I think it wasnt until I get into Nick Cave, PJ Harvey and Mozza where I actually started to notice lyrics. btw: what happened to Lydia .. did she win the lottery ? I'll second that ! Love the line about the boots, and the imagery of a 40 year-old coffee cup. Just a damn good song. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 thanks guys , you're very kind (apart from likening me to del , christ help me ! :P ) am a big fan of glen hansard , wish i had his range , his guitars hilarious , makes aaron lewis' look like a new one ! the 40 year old coffee cup i thought was a lovely line , sums up a lot about the woman's lifestyle , nothing changing . but the thing that drew me to the song is that lovely melody . thanks again chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Cool song. A real "slice of life" song. You and the guitar sound good. Just a lone voice and a lone guitar. Nothing wrong with the sad, somber ballads. They speak to who and what we are as human beings. Nicely done. Your words draw some real pictures.
