Title: Blue Veins
The closest I ever got to the true spirit of the blues, raw human emotion, is through
song. I saw them live at leeds festival and when they played this I slipped into a trance.
was one of the best moments of my life; the song seemed to stretch on for eternity and I
one with the band and everyone else in the crowd. This song is the most perfect
record ever.
NOTE: The only chord played throughtout this song is Dm on the fifth; piano and the two
fill everything else.
