SXSW '08: Ra Ra Riot, Dying is Fine

[torrid625]

this performance is sooo precious

[screwedup007]

wow! i really enjoyed your song! it reminds me of when i got a foley catheter rodded up my urethra! my favorite part was when you thought you were special/original/unique or something more than what i call turd. and while of course there will always be assholes like me to call your music shit, please please please don't slit an artery open and bleed to death.

@screwedup007 Wow, you're autistic.

[SkaAnime]

Is that John Pike?

[FireRupee]

Wait, aren't there five of them?

[KristineCarreonMusic]

i love this video so much because you can hear the girl singing harmony so well. i love it.

great song!

[avaxxsamantha]

i love this song a lot more now!

you guys should check out Wes Miles' side project with Vampire Weekend called Discovery. they're soo fucking good.

[jason9292]

can someone please figure out the chords for me?!

[BESTworstFRIENDenemy]

i wish i knew, i cant find tabs anywhere

[jason9292]

yea, its killing me,

i wish i was talented enough to find it out by ear.

[msgibbons]

Looks like it's pretty straight forward---just got to get the strumming down. I see some D, Bm...for the bridge it's nothing crazy---just jamming.

[PujolJunkie]

D, F#m, G, A

[jason9292]

thanks, that worked out for the chorus,

do you think you could figure out the verse and all that jazz?

i would really appreciate it.

[PujolJunkie]

It's the verse too. The bridge ("no more of this living dying...) I'm not sure on. I play it D A Em F#m G A but fuck around with it and see what you come up with.

[thegreenflashlight]

to settle our thoughts...

G A Bm D

No more of this living dying....

G A F#m G F#m Em

Death oh maybe...

D F#m G A

I'm not going to type out the rhythms, but hopefully that helps. Btw, milo plays the Em as an E major, but IMO, minor sounds better.

[jason9292]

THANK YOU, appreciate it a lot

[jason9292]

just figured out something from watching the video,

the pre chorus (no more of this living dying) is actually: G A F#m G F# and then E,

like you said the E sounded off before because of the F#m, just play it as a major and it sounds way better.

[thegreenflashlight]

that's true, I kinda forgot about that, I tend to play it the way I wrote it, but your's is the right way

[jason9292]

wrote it as in actually writing the song?

are you trying to say you are from ra ra riot?

you did say you knew how Milo played it.

Well if you are, you guys were awesome in Vancouver, huge fan here.

[thegreenflashlight]

The way i wrote it in my comment above, lol. The way I typed it is slightly different from the way milo plays it (the F#m and the Em) Ra Ra Riot is awesome, though I'm definitely not part of it, haha.

[thegreenflashlight]

epic guitar solo, rofl

[greeneyeris]

love his voice

[JusTBlazE918]

just found these guys love it
