Ellis Paul--The World Ain't Slowin' Down

[buckskipper]

Damn, I never knew he came to C-Town...I wish I was there...

[Tod661]

Love it...Just a great tune

[EpicVblogs]

This song has picked me up SOO many times when I'm feeling low. It's hard to believe I heard it first in "Me Myself and Irene" xD

[wtc895]

if you go to his website, you can purchase the guitar tab for $1.79. Not a bad deal for the correct arrangement...

[jtacoustic]

Probably my favorite musician. Where was this performed at?

[kingofthecastle7]

@jtacoustic : At the Beachland Tavern in Cleveland, Ohio.

[Paturel69]

this is perfect!

[Bowen151]

How come all the good songs are in a wierd tuning haha. Standard just aint cuttin it no more!

[marillionjenn]

thank you SO much for posting these vids...LOVE Ellis and he sounds great!!!

[RYANMALLOYY]

The tuning definately seems to be in open D. trying to figure out placement just by watching this video. Just getting the first chord right seems to be my challenge, after that it seems he has very similar shapes down the neck. If anyone can help out I'd really appreciate it. This song is just too good to avoid covering it correctly. The common G, Em, D, C is getting boring to play.

[justcallmejoeable]

thank you, mr. musician for your contribution to our world by making beautiful noises

[joey23291]

think i figured out the tuning if anybody interested.

its A#, A#, D, F, A#, F

[badback51]

he reminds me of justin currie, in the way that they write very emotive music and are hugely talented yet dont get the air play they deserve because record companys dont push them as they push the latest re-hash of a boy/girl band who after 1 or 2 hits vanish when everyone realises they have no talent.

[TeckTime]

As a retired drug and alcohol counselor, this song speaks to me of a woman on the mean streets of Vancouver (with No Money or means to get a cheap hotel room) and she has no idea what to do with the next day, never mind the next week.

Been there... seen and done that...

[Ronbo710]

Ellis YOU are the ONLY one for this song!! SO much feeling. Many Thanks Bro!!

[slats1212]

man I wish I did that work for a living....

[WeekendCranks]

inspires me soo much

[WeekendCranks]

truly amazing, sings it better than his actual song

[TheAmazingFuturist]

All the tabs out there says you should have capo on 4th fret but he ain't using it here. Could someone PM me with the tabs he is using to play the version in this video?

[570793]

First minute I'm just screeming - "Oh God, just PLAY THE FUCKIN SONG ALREADY!!"

[DustyStew]

Yes...a musical genius... who has been at it for 20 years and yet...WTF?...is still playing house concerts?

But he seems to be inspiring the musicians at least.

[rafre83]

Love this song! What tuning is the guitar in?

[rafre83]

@deancookie123 Sure - but that wasn't my question.

[riky251186]

@rafre83 drop in D tune i think..but low E string is in another key

[TheAmazingFuturist]

@riky251186 I think its Open D actually

[Conorooney]

Can someone post the chords please??

[Conorooney]

Can anyone post the chords for this?? Much better than the chords people normally post!!

[eyesandy1]

I've seen Ellis perform this many times, he is one of the best performers anybody would want to see (He just returned from the UK, all shows sold out), I urge anybody who has the chance to see him to do it!!! I've actually sat and talked with him, he is also very intertaining to talk to as well.

[JoseDeSous19]

Does anybody know the tabs for this song? As he plays it in this video

or at least the chords he uses? nobody plays this song accurately as ellis plays it here and in the recorded version. Id really love to play this at a campfire with my all buddies :D

[paulpierce22]

Dude i was just thinkin the same thing. i cant find the right tabs anywhere. really frustrating.

[RonnBull]

@paulpierce22 , have you by any chance found the right tabs or found a video that explains how to play this correctly?

[Lachy0414]

@JoseDeSous19

you find out yet?? im going through the same drama!

[SeanieMCash]

that man is an musical genius

and his new lp is brilliant

[TheDuster88]

no1 could do this song as good as him

[Chlebiczech]

post more more more !!

[kingofthecastle7]

I'm pretty sure I posted every song Ellis played at the Tavern that night. Have you checked out my other videos from that concert?

[zandyyy]

ellis paul u simply rock and should be loved by more people

[FrozenEMT]

he is. thats why he has songs in movie sountracks (me myself and irene), plays about 300 dates a year, has won the boston area music awards about 10 times now...he's doing just fine in the love department id say.

[Duende04]

beautiful song!

[ThisCindySeesMore]

Been listening to your music for many years now. I still think you are awsome! This one is my favorite

[lespauluk]

Should be a hit song.....Great song writing this

[VaughanF1]

Damn, i fell in love with this song since the first time i saw that jim carey's movie.

Thanks for the video and cheers from Chile.

5 stars!!! =)

[tugboat25]

I wish people who didn't follow Ellis Paul...would.

he's such a great songwriter and likable guy.

"The World Ain't Slowin' Down" and "Bring Me Backward" are enough to make Ellis Paul a star...if people would just give him a chance.

[kidrodelo5]

Its all about image. Lyrically speakin the dudes got it. As for being marketable, maybe not. Sad thats how it is. Bob Seger for example, amazing musician, had he come along now, instead of the 60's 70's 80's nobody would know his name.

[jimjam5544]

fucking brilliant!

[guillermozzer]

great song

[ThePoonce]

this song is legit
