I Started to watch a tv show called True detective a few months back.
And i just could not get that intro song out of my head. It is a perfect little ,dark and mellow song that got stuck in my head… so here it is… a very short end very easy 3 chord song, just the way i like them
Hi Trond,
How good this song of yours is , wonderful to listen to and just in time because the sun started to shine here just after not having seen it for a long long time so a dark mood brings everything back into balance.
You’re a man with exquisite taste, min ven
And this song is right in your wheelhouse, as Clint would say
Loved it1
I’ve seen them a number of times and even had a message chat with Brett Sparks (who wrote the most convincing song I’ve ever heard about having a psychotic breakdown).
Here’s the first cover I ever did of their songs five years ago.
Didn’t know this song before @jpedro_AM posted it in his Learning Log a few days ago…
I enjoyed your rendition a lot The tone of your guitar and style of your vocals fit this song very well. Might be aa really good choice for one of your next open mics
@roger_holland !! Love that i can drag you back to some darkness and melancholy !
@Notter thanks Mark… Yep! 3 chord songs is underated
@brianlarsen hahahaha!! Of course you knew The handsome family
( Can not get that link to work Brian… )
@JokuMuu thanks for checking out Nicole… been a little busy the last weeks so his version has slipped past me… pretty amazing that these two pops up so close, do not belive they are very well known songs
Great performance, Trond. You gave that 3-chord song a lot of depth and it really suits you well. Seems you’re made for one another. I really enjoyed the listen.
Done with the usual Trond charm. Loved it. I hadn’t heard that song before, having not watched True Detective or heard of the Handsome Family. I looked them up on spotify, and they are “masters of melancholy Americana” so right up your alley.
I’m jealous of what you can do with just 3 chords, your voice, some emotion and dynamics.
TV though, it’s been AGES since I was really watching a show properly. Choosing a show feels like so much commitment, the last couple of longer form serials I started watching went really downhill after the first 2 seasons and it’s turned me off watching TV shows for the last 18 months or so.
Hi Trond - that was wonderfully played and sung! I wasn’t familiar with the song before, but thank you for introducing me to such good music once again!
Tell me, is this is a test for us? Is it?
Please tell me that I’m not mad
Thanks a lot @jkahn im not a big television viewer myself. So i came very late to the True Detective party… belive season 1 is from around 2013… However, it is really really good, so it gets both thumbs up from me can only speak for season 1 though…
Thanks for checking it out @franzek ! And no… you are not mad… it is 4 chords in there, not three… i throw around that 3 chord expression all the time about easy songs. When i think about it, it kind of «cheapens» the songs a bit… there is no such thing as easy songs, it is just music
Great job Trond! I think you captured the mood of the song really well. The Handsome Family are a great band and their back catalogue is worth exploring. They have an album called Twilight which is one of my all time faves.
Thanks Michael!
Yep. Just started to dip my toes into The handsome family and i like them a lot, very cool and laidback sounding band.
Twilight is on my list
I like when a song makes such an impression that you just have to learn it. It’s like it’s not enough just to listen - you have to play it. I thought your version was great, thanks for sharing, Susan
