to me : a song for geir by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

a song about my previous experiences in norway. it was very like scotland but in an alternative reality sort of way, the landscape and fauna looked very similar, but on close inspection the trees and plants and stuff where completely different to those in scotland, like close relatives, cousins  

also the norwegians spoke english better than i can.

anyway messing about with alternate tunings again, not sure if this tuning is my own creation, maybe someone can name it, if it is already in existence. tuning is b b e f# b d#

so dedicated to my favourite viking and perfect host, geir alfsen.

                                              

just like home
but different
the hills
the trees
the sea
all look
very similar
to me
to me
the air is cool
and clear
the rain
is dreech and damp
like home
it all seems
so familiar
to me
to me
i'm here with friends
their welcome warm
i feel at home
i feel at one
the waters lap
upon the shore
right outside
my friends front door
these people
speak another tongue
but know my
language well
they're all so
very similar
to me
to me

to me

That makes for some really unexpectedly sweet chord voicings. A touching song.
