"A Tired Picture" by Dave Biggs (original)

[feen083]

love the sound...has a Toad the Wet Sprocket sound to it, as well reminds me of Staind...both of which I love...I hope your career is going well and that we hear you on the radio soon :)

[QuixoticXmischief]

This song paints a picture well. Sad. Good job.

[Cultuz]

Can you please put up tabs/chords of this song somewhere?

[Cultuz]

Awesome song. You're the man! Get published already! (If you aren't)

[mcgibs]

This makes me think more of Opeth than Radiohead.

[sfumatosoup]

I downloaded this immediately when I saw that I could. I love it. It's my new favorite song. Your sound in this is heavily reminiscent of V.A.S.T.

[D4NNY3m]

i love the song bu love especially love the guitar wish i owned one very nice :)

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

Very Nice Little Song.

David

[hellfrog24]

Everytime I listen to this, I get chills up my spine. It just gets better everytime I hear it, has to be one of the best songs I have ever heard. You might wanna copyright so that some hooligan dosnt make off with it as their own. Now that would be something to cry about. This right here, this is a masterpiece.

[mockhazzard]

i doubt anyone could copy it, since this video (and the date it was posted) is proof that he is the writer. Unless he stole it from someone else, but meh.

[SeraphinaPekkala]

The lyrics are special... everyone who ever had lovesickness knows that ;) And the melody is really deep.

[OsvaldoPaese]

The lyrics are nothing special but your delivary and melody make it work really well. I love those miinor/dimished chords in there. But most of all, nice melody, does remind me a bit of Radiohead.

[JaenVho]

What a sound, I love it. Thanks.

[okatina]

Nice voice!!!! Great strumming, too...you rock xylopolist

[Sulley5]

this song perfectly matches how i feel the last 2 weeks man good job and thankyou

[geoffreymillward]

ovation? niice :]

very awesome song. sound like something from Donnie Darko, or something. Its nice.

[dharmspeakz]

melancholy at its best.... good work.... keep it goin on budd

[caramelturtles]

WOW! I don't know why I didnt hear this one before! its AWESOME I just love the words too,thank you for sharing this

[xylopolist]

Well thank you very much. =D Working on originals almost specifically now because my free time is so short lately, hope you'll give them a listen when you get a chance.

[KyleDriftwood]

Beautiful & haunting melody. Nice work.

[luv2singmusic]

Nice! Sad, but very nice. Good vocals too!

[campage]

awesome song dude i like this one alot.I have been playin along with it on my guitar.

one tiny piece of criticism...

after the 1st chorus it would sound good if you went straight into the 2nd verse vocals.

this is totally my opinion, but ive tried it and it sounds kinda cool : )

keep up the good work dude

Peace

[diam0nte]

this is a great tune, man!.......like a mix of so many grunge bands.....but the good ones!!! lol....hypnotic voice!

feel free to check out my stuff , id apprciate you letting me know what you think!

[caramelturtles]

[thelordscall]

Beautiful....Bless You...

[DrennonDavis]

Hey dave, great song.

[pressfitproductions]

Great stuff my friend...You and I write a lot alike. Similar minor progressions.

I love it...

[TheStrangled]

I´ve put it on my iPod :D its so incredible! I´m already listening the 10th time! Go on please!!

[hellfrog24]

Kewl, thanks for being nice about it...now I can sleep.

[EmikoKu]

again u amaze me. ^_^ Awsome singing n playing.

[hellfrog24]

Now dave, I have a question. I have this song on my iPod, but im concerned that this might infringe on your copyright. Say the word, and Ill delete it. Just wanted to make sure you get all the attention you deserve for this.

[xylopolist]

Nah, feel free to have it on your iPod. =D

[metalmadefaery]

i love your voice..beautiful..listen to my song..-Tabby

[missepnut]

you sound a tiny bit like the guy from eve six in this song but unique to you :D it's good to sound yourself in all you do, nice job!

[bassguitarpro88]

awesome, I love your melodies, so differnt from the norm, sounds kick ass. keep up the good work.

[hellfrog24]

Still my favorite video by far. Your covers are really, really damn good, but your originals are way better, in my humble opinion. Anyhoo, keep it going

[XxGlamisDunerxX]

Very nice man, I can feel the song, and where its coming from.

[hellfrog24]

yeah that makes feel alot better. Just wait while I grab a handgun...

[hellfrog24]

im so fucking depressed right now. Anybody got some sugestions?

[wobinidan]

breathe. focus on your breath as it enters your lungs, and as it leaves. you will be dead soon, you have no time to waste by indulging your sadness.

be well, my friend.

[scaryhippo7]

better than most music on the radio now a days

[beerfest02]

people need to upload more clips like this. I prefer funnier stuff myself, check out dolphinhump. lostfrog . com , I laughed so hard I got kicked out of class! haha.

[smileykai77]

I keep on rating this vid 5* everytime I watch it -- is that cheating? Who cares... Anyways, I'm feeling this song dude... i'm sure when you look back to 6 years ago, you can see how far you have come... I always love hearing your voice dude, so enchanting and yet so caring at the same time. Much love, peace and harmony to you.

[p34ch3s]

i really like your voice.

i thought this was beautiful.

[davens99]

I like the F F#min Em Em9 Em walk down part. Pretty unusual writing there. nice melody over the top on that harmony as well.

[hellfrog24]

I really wish people like naruto1343 would stop posting crap like that on here. It merely subtracts from people who actually have something to say about the videos. That said, great video!

[hansPeter1689]

Very Nice you have a really good noise

[Jupila87]

WOW! I think you are singing great!

Big greatings from germany.

Keep on singing. ^^

[SkiddyBeef]

Great Music.. Nothing better than a good acoustic piece i allways say =D Very much my style of music.

[colinrobinson]

very much a fan, dig the style

[Marian1518]

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! You have beautiuful voice!

THE BEST SONG!!!

[xylopolist]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[iluvmusik]

i'd like to learn your song to play. could you give us the chords?

[WHITEALWAYS]

great voice

[exception05]

HUI!!!!

[Calrc]

Fantastic absolutly awesome

[enthused1286]

atleast G isnt your only chord like all these motherfuckin chick pop singers lately

[gmoz11]

the only reason the fire in my heart is dead is because your amateur onrush of "music" extinguished my life in one solitary blast of absolute shit.

[hellfrog24]

we all respect your view gmoz, but you dont have to be so obtuse about it. By all means, voice what you think, but do so in a less offensive manner if you wouldnt mind.

[xylopolist]

witty. =D

[knowa626]

that is brilliant.

[gmoz11]

about as brilliant as spelling noah "knowa". real smooth, lamo. get a job.

[emonik]

what makes you think he doesnt have a job? LMAO@AFGT!(you)

[gmoz11]

emonik? that name gives the answer to your immature use of abbreviation: EMO-NIK= Emo Ebonics.

Way to go, man. I hope your new language succeeds in your small world of poorly thought-thru insults, and overused IM abbreviations.

[ltageetar]

so "gmoz11"

it seems like you have nothing better to do than give people shit, for doing something you can't and probably wont' ever do

this guy plays and sings better than you ever will, and emonik is cooler than you'll ever be, and if you have nothing better to do than give people shit and make stupid pictures of two hands giving the finger, you must not have a life (and your video proves that point)

quit being an idiot and do something with your life

Sincerely,

-Lucas-

[gmoz11]

so "ltageetar"

you're so right. how childish of me to not have already done something great with my life while in highschool. you've taught me so much. the video you uploaded of the spring really is a testament and a great example of what a driven person should do with their life.

i will quit being an idiot and make something of myself.

With deep respect,

-Ashamed-

[xylopolist]

You guys are a riot.. =D I would tell you to quit squabbling but I don't think I actually want that to happen. Cheers.

[ninjaturtletommy]

at least this guy rips on people in a creative way

right on gmoz

[TheStrangled]

Thats so beatuiful.. I´ll watch this the rest of the day..

[CosmicTouch]

this song is very soothing. I like it. All you need is backup.

[furlonb3]

fuckin amazing song man

[retrorockchik]

you need to really pursue a career in music! you are one of the most talented musicians that i have ever heard! honestly...people would kill for your talent. i would definitely buy a cd of yours if you had one.

[mehandcows]

awsome

[Maylam77]

Good tune, really into this kind of stuff, good luck to you. Always appreciate anyone who writes their own material. Have you had any interest from record companys?

[xylopolist]

No, not anything serious anyway. Thanks for your comments!

[retrorockchik]

yea well i understand. a lot of people don't desire any kind of fame and just enjoy writing and playing music...so that's cool. i really think you are great though. just promise me that you will post new vids of your original songs because they are amazing!

[retrorockchik]

however, if you ever do get famous just know that i am truly a fan! it's nice to find someone who really understands music and is able to touch people with it.

[ParadiseEarth1]

Good stuff, nice refreshing melody. Imagine it with a full band and you got your ticket to stardom.

[wutangit]

ey man u got skillz i wish i could play like dat

[bzzmusic]

[xylopolist]

[bzzmusic]

[MatthewMcClellan43]

Hey Dave, that was really good, thanks. I've been here with my keyboards havin a blast with this soundtrack. I'd imagine we'd have fun if we jammed together.

Great voice too. You've trained, or sound like it. Hope your makin some cheese with these attributes. Doin what you love and never workin again, ah, the life. Rock yourself.....

[xylopolist]

Not very much cheese, heh. =D Yeah wish we could jam - don't get a chance to play with a keyboardist much.

[jhmjenny]

i like u and your song! fighting!

[MartinGarciaStella]

I like so much your song. It´s raining. It´s a grey day. And your song is beauty. Thanks for this gift.

[Marian1518]

You must record any another song, because this is GREAT!

[Marian1518]

PERFECT!!! GREAT SONG! realy fantastic... ...I have one ask... ...Who is this song...? ...this is His song...?

[xylopolist]

Thanks a lot! And yeah, this is a song I wrote a long while ago.

[hellfrog24]

geez dude, your just dripping talent. Thats gotta be one of the best acoustical songs ive heard in ages. Your gonna go somewhere, mark my words

[xylopolist]

Thanks much. =D

[jadhat]

[CaptainCornelious]

[xylopolist]

mmMMmm.. catpig..

[layzak1]

these are ryan unsworths lyrics right, lol this was one of our bands songs before he gave you the lyrics lol, i want them back now i see what youve done with them lol!! curses!

[xylopolist]

haha. =D

[Failtelorn]

Great work on this! I love it!!!

[Ottawarocket]

Just a super song. 5 stars

rocket

[guitmartiman]

A really beautiful, sad (rather depressing really and self absorbed, but...been there myself a time or two) song. Thanks for sharing!

[FAMOUS729]

wow

[RyanUnsworth]

And also, as an add-on to my last comment, I can't get the Em bit of the chorus right, I don't understand, I tried Cmadd9 shape from 5 to 4 to 2, but it sounded wrong, and it looks like you're doing something different, is there something I misunderstood? Thanks for answering all my annoying questions!

[xylopolist]

Yeah no problem - It's the Emadd9 shape. That's sixth string: open, fifth string: 2nd fret, fourth string: 5th fret and then move the note on the fourth string from the 5th fret to the 4th fret to the 2nd fret, playing the chord each time.

[RyanUnsworth]

Thanks a lot!

[RyanUnsworth]

I just had a crazy idea.

It would be great if you could send me this video through msn or something, and I could extract the audio and put it on my ipod!

Yes!

I'd love to have some of your stuff on my ipod, especially this one.

Could you, please?

[Stanno223]

great tune man. i really enjoyed that.

[rogueflight]

your amazing, i love your voice and your guitar isn't half bad either, your song is really really beautiful, i really love it, your voice really ties it together, a painful lullaby of sorts, five sorts, keep going, your talented

[xylopolist]

Definitely a painful lullaby, glad you enjoyed it. =D

[ockstarray]

I'll agree with the previous comments.. amazing songwriting. Easy listening. and your voice always sounds fantastic. I could listen all day.

[xylopolist]

You guys are too kind.. =D Thanks for all of the comments so far.. and you've got some tricks up your sleeve too, ockstarray! Looking forward to more videos from ya.

[RyanUnsworth]

Great, I really love it, you have a knack for this thing, songwriting is definetely one of your strongpoints! Any chance of the chords please?

[xylopolist]

Sure, the verse is Dsus2 - D7sus2 - Fmaj7/A - Am and the chorus is F - F#m - Em. I do play some odd chords at the Em part of the chorus though, I'm basically just using the Emadd9 shape and (on the 4th string) going from the G (5th fret) to the F# (4th fret) to the E (2nd fret) which brings you back to the normal Em chord.

[RyanUnsworth]

Thanks Dave, I'll try that right now, I think it's a good mixture of major and minor.

What's your inspiration for songwriting, this one in particular?

And I'd love to hear more of your stuff!

Thanks.

- Ryan

[pickles4all]

Another excellent performance :)

[xylopolist]

thanks much!
