The best song of true regret. I am convinced that this song is the last of a trilogy of 3 songs: Wind it up, For You and He Makes Me. If you listen to all three consecutively, it's the story of a person who gets fed up one day, packs up and leaves the next and then regrets it for the rest of his life. A great lesson for those who are thinking of packing their relationship in and moving on without appreciating what they have. Thanks Ed for your insights. You are Yoda!!!
I found the bathroom series quite a while ago and sometimes would rather hear them than the live performances, the acoustics are great... i love these guys.. and the kids songs are wonderful to teach your kids...if you have any
i dont wqant johns song i want eds haha even though ive never heard johns either i cant find either...eds is the only one ive heard and thats just cuz its on youtube
I love this side to your music more than I can say. Your wit has always made me smile and the beats have had me hooked, but I'm really wanting more of the deep, sensitive, poetic Ed we're hearing here. Such a beautiful voice too! You rock :)
This is the first time i've heard this song,long time Bnl fan it just blew me away.Put this on the next album please Ed :) Does anyone know what chords he's doing at 34-39 seconds? looks like index finger is doing a barre chord but can't see cause he slides down right too quickly to see it good. Thanks again
on 34 he plays index on the second fret fifth string his ring is on the fourth fret fourth string and his middle finger is on the third fret and either second or first string, then at 35 he slides his index down to the third fret same string. I don't know the one at 37, then at 39 his index is on first fret second string middle finger is on the second fret fifth string and his ring finger is on the third fret fourth string. the last cord at 39 near 40 is a simple D chord. Hope that helps.
Mes is right about the first two chords. I think the first one is called Em9, but I don't know what it would be called when he moves his index to the third fret. After that, when I play it, it sounds right to play Am, C, D. I'm not totally certain if it's right, but it sounds right to me.
You Will Be Waiting is one of my favorites too. Also.....The Flag, they have NEVER played that at the concerts I've been to. It would be amazing to hear it live, when the cello kicks in..oh myyyyyy. so sad
This song is beautiful. I'm glad I re-became a fan of BNL lately. this song really does make me sad. I hope I never feel closer to this song than I do right now. If I do I think I would die. Keep up the good work, your music is inspiring, and wonderful. Have a good one, laters.
this is because it's a John Berry tune - but you can see some influences between this song and "light up my room" - have a listen - the chords are pretty close
Ed! WTF isn't this on an album?! It's fantastic! So much better than the rubbish "country" on the radio that no one can identify with about Ford trucks and John Deere tractors. Thanks for making the genre accessible again! :)
I've always liked Country (even when it wasn't cool) because of the raw emotion that goes into songs like this one. Your voice is so perfect for the genre, too! I think I have a new favourite song. :-)
I can't get enough of you! Thanks again for doing such a wonderful thing for your fans! I love when you sing the more country like songs - you're an amazingly versatile musician!
Wow - this is such an amazingly beautiful song....its gone shooting to the top of my favourite songs. Thank you so much for the gift of these sessions they are truly special and once again remind me why I feel privileged to be a BNL fan - see you in London on the 31st!
I love it when you do the slower songs. The upbeat stuff is fab, but it's nice to see the softer side of you guys too. Also - amazingly great acoustics for a bathroom!
I have truly enjoyed listening to and watching a grown man sing on the potty. Does that mean there is something wrong with me? Ed.. you are awesome!! Can't wait for 6/15!
I prefer your version. There's only ever been one artist who's songs have been able to literally make me fill with so much emotion that I cry just from the combination of lyrics and music but after listening to you sing and play that song there are now two artists that are capable of making me cry :) You and Paul Brandt....go figure!! Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is the 'coolness' of music in the ear of the listener!!
Such a good song, can't stop playing it :)
