Lavomatik Session - Chad VanGaalen - Molten Light

[jubjub2112]

Wow . . . this really is an amazing song . . .

[jubjub2112]

I was about to comment amazedly that the ambulance siren was in the same key as this song . . . and then noticed that this obvious fact was caught by many . . . nevertheless . . . too damned cool!! AWESOME song!! Never heard of this cat before

[SirMaxFrei]

excelent

[silvershoez]

saw this guy 3 nights ago, he has probably the wildest and most obscene sense of humour you wouldn't expect from him, overall:awesome.

[Joelopotelo123]

im starting to think that one of his band member plays the ambulance its in that live willow tree session too!!!

[nowinskichris]

is that the bassist from women?

[ilikeredandblack]

@nowinskichris yes it is.

[Lordisuckswangs]

This video is almost unreal, chad's songs warp reality into the metaphysical.

[Aaron23ku]

if i had a hero it's chad VanGaalen

[Fieldification]

!!! AWESOME !!!

[KennyKrabbs]

What guitar is Chad using??I want One!!

[MrMeAndMyVideos]

@KennyKrabbs an LAG of some sort

[KennyKrabbs]

@MrMeAndMyVideos  Umm... LAG??

[MrMeAndMyVideos]

@KennyKrabbs Yeah there a french guitar company. Then again it does look like a "seagull" accoustic.

[KennyKrabbs]

@MrMeAndMyVideos It's a Seagull.I didn't see the logo at first :P

[inkthinkink]

@2nose919

haha theres an ambulance outside right now. i had to stop the video to make sure it

wasnt the same ambulance you were talking about. 

[suspectusuel]

Je viens de découvrir sur le label Sub Pop. Superbe!

[robsteries]

man! The ambulance makes all the diffrence in the song!

[stamp1220]

This is the all time best Youtube video.

[crectenw]

I am addicted to watching this.

[PaulietheJudoka]

Better than the album version..

[kenprice61]

i very rarely comment, but this version of the song is AWESOME and so bizzare and weird and incredible. The ambulance really adds ambience.

[timbobehnke123]

welche musik richtung ist das

[Trotzkidesu]

@timbobehnke123

Soweit ich weiß, kann man Chad am ehesten im "Sub-Pop" einordnen, aber man hört auch ne Menge Indie.. Chad ist einfach Chad. ;) Wenn du ähnliche Musik suchst: Love as Laughter, Cheeseburger, Holy Fuck, Joan As Policewoman.

[swonswonful]

it's so so so beautiful

[piroJ0KE]

It seems, it is the best record of this song. Fine work. Thanks you, VanGaalen.

[ibekassow]

fantastisch !

[pafusion1]

wow... amazing... the ambulance is perfect in there lol

what are the odds of that happening?

CHAD IS THE MAN!

[PaulietheJudoka]

Can I buy this stuff on itunes?

[Earo16]

That was beautiful.

[RubyRuby121]

Perfect.

[titzenpitzer]

what's up with chad vangaalen and ambulances?

[GSarovich]

Chad's so good, artistically and musically alike.

[madmedivh]

never seen a better vid

[MrMiy4gi]

That ambalamps was perfect.

[AndrewRice20]

@MrMiy4gi hahahahaha no I think that comment was perfect

[egozeroo]

amazing

[vivimaze]

the ambulance somehow fits perfectly! its awesome

[shigihito]

I have small psychological issues, and this song about two brothers about to get killed, strangely keeps me calm.

[pearldan]

the sirens fits perfectly...how odd??!!!

[eryxcss]

песня меня вгоняет в депрессию =)

this song get me in depression =)

[AnyWearAWay]

so perfect

[MrRaymondman22]

wats dat instrument the guy wit da beard called

[SuperMopTop]

accordian

[andpyramids]

Haha, the ambulance in the background was so fucking awesome.

[abstractadobo]

is this in drop D?

[redemption15]

its in open c

[abstractadobo]

thanks. according to ultimate guitar, the standard tuning version could be played with these chords, Am F C E G. ... The timing of the ambulance and the fact that it's in key is just too perfect. epicness.

[redemption15]

yeah i agree but when you play it live it sounds so much better and it allows you to add more...but this song makes me wish i could play the accordion

[2nose919]

the timing of that ambulance could not be better...same key, and the metaphorical representation..panic, emergency, death, distress....perfect for the song itself and the story within it.

[eryxcss]

omg......u explain my filling!

its too hard to explain, when u dont know english.

[BenniHallo]

@2nose919 i wonder why they didnt have at least a little smile ;)

[DavidAdamMoorebtone]

OMG - the siren is in the same key - AMAZING!!!!

[sirus1benjamin]

probably the best thing ive head all year

[degas]

@DavidAdamMoorebtone

[cicconedac]

[dietzmonkeyface]

[FOOLBUTTON]

pretty cool, found out about him from mason jennings site. i'm going to check out more of chad's stuff

[zennegen]

the accordion killed it for me. excellent cover, it's a difficult song to sing.

[DavidGodd]

the ambulance is in the same scale ! oh yeah.

[purpleshoes]

I love that the ambulance is in tune with the music

[TheyAteThemselves]

Fuck he's cute.

[Dillrod90]

I would do him in a new york minute.

[kristinaansari]

[Kirobulin]

Wow this is awesome. I love Chad so much, love it when he comes home to Calgary

[SeanBurtonR]

Saskatoon this october !!! Yes!

[Cimmcia]

OOOhh the ambulance was just perfect :B

....

[Ampgrave]

It really was

[koronimus]

Ein echt großer Künstler in einem echt gut gemachten Video

[JacksonJamesGardner]

I love how the ambulance's siren is in the same key that they're playing in... it sends shivers down my spine!

[AbstractNumbers]

Too good, the ambulance, oh so perfect. his voice. 5 stars.

[pekoe67]

He seems to be one of those artists who would be able to conjure up an in- tune ambulance.

It's playing the tonic and the dominant.

[ludovica36]

F*ing AWESOME!

[CBsydney22]

what a fucking homo whos voice can go that high

[grlfrendinac0ma]

Chad VanGaalen's voice can.

[JimB667]

not yours

[SAUCYMOLLUSK]

I gotta wash my clothes

[gardenpainter2]

wow! how did they get the ambulance to drive by at that moment. Very dramatic

[Assaultpredator]

umm lol it wasnt planned which makes it even MORE awesome.

[shakey88]

chaos theory!

[RaymentPaul]

incredible ...

[lazyitus]

Awesome! this song is so great.

[LOVEhateKILLpain]

subscribing.. cause tbh this is just amazing (:

faves 5*

[deerpet]

''ooo... johnson...'' :) Chad VanGaalen is definitely my favorite musician and one of my favorite artists

[philphie]

i wanna see chad pair up with iron and wine, sufjan stevens, jose gonzalez and calexico

[mrbee777]

is this in standard tuning?

[Strangulation]

I think it's tuned down a step DGCFAD

[Strangulation]

Actually I think it's open C - CGCGCE

[mitralikesmusic]

chad vangaalen is my favorite musician. he's amazing. this song works great acoustic as well.

[Leondrian]

So beautiful of Chad, he sounds like is on the brink of breaking in to tears at a couple of tones in this session. Heart twisting energy. Love it.

[SlickNick8686]

Great song. I just wish the accordion didn't drown out his voice/guitar at a few moments in this version.

[LucasJamesHicks]

i agree, its sweet but he could be standing a little bit farther away

[PolarOpposites12]

how do you play this

[nciviero]

just watch closely, I learned the whole song from this video

[reaven666]

can someone upload the animated video again ?

[rem193]

it was recorded on my birthday!  LOVE IT!!

[torgosassistant]

And only 14 days after mine!

[philphie]

ONLY!?!?!!?

[AndrewRice20]

The timing of the ambulance is magical... especially since the song is about two guys who are about to get killed. Sent shivers down my spine.

[CanOfMinus]

Especially how it crept into the song. Almost like a second accordion.

[DAVANDAL12345678]

I love the way the ambulance just seems to slot into this song...I originally thought there was some kind of studio trickery going on.

[lindsayevans07]

nicely times ambulance!

[101MwaveFRIKK]

I saw you live. So there.

I love you like a Heroin addict loves Belts.

.M

[shamblebaby]

this is mindblowing

[kbyourself]

his voice is so marvelous.

[lazerguided]

this is amazing

[kubashev]

Мегаохуенно!

[em0doll]

this is so great! ;_;

I want to play this on my guitar but I can't find the tabs :(

[imuzzik]

It is a C open tuning (C-G-C-E-C-G). Then you play with power chords: F C E A /// A C F with a G to go back to verses. Awesome Chad!
