@fjbutch How true, beware of Americans calling themselves 'The loved Ones,' not good...

[fjbutch]

@Breatherable You said that right....Cheers...

You're right - that's the progression for the end of " and you'll be mine" which is the same as the Yardbird's progression of Dm F G Gm but up a tone. ( on youtube Jeff Beck's playing on a 12 string which is tuned down a tone so it looks like Em G A Am. However, as it's such an unusual song in the intro & verse progressions and 3/4 time I think it's a stretch to say it's a re-working of any song as the only matching chord sequence is only used under a cadence which isn't really a chorus

[pfhix]

I don't think it's the Yardbird's chord progression although there is also a major to minor change in there. However, the piano intro sure contains a fragment of Beethoven's Piano Sonata #14 in c#minor.

@pfhix I play both of these songs on guitar. The chords I use for this song's chorus are Em, G, A, Am, which I also used for the intro of For Your Love. I'm pretty sure they are right or at least close. Happy to hear of any alternative chords though....

Such a beautiful piece. This just seems so right. I love this.

Nice re-working of The Yardbirds' "For Your Love. "ZING!

I didn't know this band 'till I heard a Nick Cave cover of this song....Don't they seem like they have also influenced his style?

What an atmospheric classic from the incredible Loved Ones,. this track has been very well covered by Ed Kuepper.

And by Mick Harvey.
