Dear Paul Gross,

Please stop.

You're allowed to be pretty and smart. I'll give you that.

You're also allowed to record music that's pleasant and catchy. Got a nice tune and I can dance to it, I give it a 75.
Nice but nothing out of the ordinary.

But please don't write or (gods forbid) record any more songs that are so gorgeous and intense and breathtaking that I can feel them all the way down to the tips of my fingers.

Because it really isn't fair, all that not being able to breathe and everything.

On second thought, forget I said anything.

No, really, forget it.

Carry on.

I'll be over here in a heap on the floor next to the speaker.

Until next time, so long and thanks for all the consonants,

Me


I mean, holy shit.

Keeley and Gross - Family Matters

I blame [livejournal.com profile] stormymouse for this, and I mean that in the nicest way. &hearts

Is there a video of this? I don't think so, but if there is, I want to see it, like yesterday.

Consonants are best visualised, after all.

Sadly, no vid for this one. Only Voodoo (*points to icon*), Papa's Front Porch (one of David's), 32 Down, Santa Drives a Pickup Truck (*eyeroll*), and Ride Forever. Ah, well.

I wouldn't mind guitar tabs, either. I'm kind of thinking that if there's no video, there's probably not much of a chance for guitar tabs, either. :/

So far I've only got chords for Ride Forever:

(In a doc file so as to maintain the font and proportional spacing.)

Whenever I get around to working up chords for some of the others, I'll be happy to share them with you. Do the same?

Okay. I haven't picked up my guitar in ages, though. I don't play very well. I have a good ear, though, and I can sing fair. :)

Heh. Sounds about like me. *g*

I've been playing guitar since I was eleven at the oldest. Took lessons for a very, very brief time. I can't do anything fancy with strumming; I wish I could. Mostly I accompany myself, and I haven't done it in a while. My dream is to take up the fiddle, actually. *g* I own a guitar, a fiddle, and a banjo. I'm a virtuoso on the guitar compared to the other two, which are like foreign languages. Someday, though, I'll play fiddle like Natalie Macmaster *points to icon*. In some dream.

I'd really like to figure out the chords to this, though. Minor chords, I know a few of those. It's in my range, too. I know I won't nail the Cs and Ks and Gs (with a guest appearance by D--NOW how much would you pay? [/infomercial]) like Paul does. *bites lip*
