March 7-13, 2021 Classic Seether Remedy - the adventure continues

Image
Undaunted by my less than stellar performance of Gasoline I picked Remedy which has a slower guitar part.  Not that I'm ready to give up on Gasoline, but I don't think I could convincingly sing, "I wanna waste her monthly blood, wanna get some on my love."  I don't have the parts for either activity. So I started with Remedy taught by Guitar Smith who plays it re-e-eally slow.  I got the first part sounding like the actual song so I got brave, since everyone else was out of the house, and plugged the electric guitar into the amp and switched it on.  I actually might learn this one!   I went back to learn the next part and hit my cup of tea with the headstock of the guitar and tipped it onto my desk and laptop.  The guitar was in the clear but my mouse is a little damp and my mousepad is sticky.  No sparks or fire from the laptop, so I think I'm good.  Not particularly coordinated, but good. March 13th.  Anyone want a mediocre rock guitar...

  B ack with part 2 of Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum.  I'm back to Liar again.  I must have listened to this one 5 times today.  It's so achingly beautiful I keep going back again.  The lyrics and Shaun's interpretation of the lyrics get me every time. Sorry to repeat myself.  I left off with Let It Go.  I've listened to this one several more times and like it more with more familiarity.  That first line, "Float down that river of blood you made when you stabbed me in the back"  Damn, tell me how you really feel.  Let It Go is about not letting it go. With a little dollop of hopelessness and a side of hostility. 9) Failure . Brilliant lyrics.  The music has an underlying muddiness, a rumbling, feedback-y sound that goes with what is being sung.  This is exactly how feeling this way feels like.  Cuts sort of close to home, to be honest. 10) Beg .  Oh, yes the Motherfucker song!  O.K.  Scary lyrics on the one hand....
