wOw Geir, great voice you got in that higher register  .:!:|:!:. 

Beautifully sung, played, and written ~ so genuine sounding, personal, like intimate or something...  yet another creative expression from a true artist.

Great song and performance.  Who needs effects when you sound like that.

The stark recording and vocals really makes the lyric and song work. Sometimes the best arrangement is the one that just doesn't get in the way.

I'm just sitting here. Your song finished playing almost a minute ago. I feel like my soul just got a massage.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Quote from: des0free on May 27, 2010, 11:34:27 PMWhat are the chords? 
I've been pushing this request off cause I've not written down many tabs in my life and chords wouldn't do it on this one.

Here's a fairly acurate tab as goes for the chord-progression I think. It does not reflect the fingerpicking tho' so that you'll have to figure out yourself :) the e-string is acording to the tab only used once. ... that's not true ... sometimes you'll hear the loose e-string ring on some of the chords ....

on some of the chords I may also only pluck two or three strings even if the tab says otherwise ...

the first one is played twice
