"Understatement" by Johnbee

[Johnbee]

so....what is pizzicattos?  Violin maybe?

Yes.  Plucked instead of bowed.  Last verse.  
Thank you for your kind words.

Ok, more like a staccato bow swipe?  Creates great mood, or a nice tension.

That's fantastic Johnbee - the vocals are really impressive.

braw tell yer maw, fabulous lyrics, and the vox have a fragility that suits the lyric to a tee, vocal reminds me of wayne coyne.

Well, not quite, Picker.  Think picking a single note on a guitar using your finger and not a pick to pluck the string. This is how it is played on a violin, viola, cello or acoustic bass.  As an example, I'll upload the section where the pizzicatos are, muting all but them and the vocals.  

Also, thanks, Flash Harry and ORH!

Oooops, I listened to the first post - is that the one?
Anyway, JohnB, it reminded me of 'Bookends' by S&G at the beginning, but beyond that it became plaintive and even more beautiful, I mean, sh*t, what would you come up with using 6/12 chords??!!
I've said before and I'll reiterate, some of the tracks uploaded here (including this one), are simply on a par with anything that a commercial studio could turn out. This track and others are testament to the talent out there seemingly being ignored by those monopolising the airwaves.
Anyway, a wonderful upload.

WOW !!!!! WOW !!!!!

[Kenny B]

WOW!!!  This in an excellent song.  Great vox and production.

Dig the different parts with only 2 chords ... great technique.

Ok, we are talking about the same parts then.  I love the tension of that sound, it's great!
