"Swans" Unkle Bob

[SixStringKC]

can anyone tell me if this is standard tuning or what?

[seashellxoxo92]

His voice is unreal!

[sav3895]

anyway i can get a tutorial or sheet music for this?

[DeadSilencexD]

omgg, amazing!<3



[LaToosh16]

amazing! such increadible voice.

[pandothielraina]

... Didn't realize that this was the real band until I read some of the comments below. Hahhaa, uhm, thank you for posting this. It's one of my favorites. :)

[pandothielraina]

Thank you for covering one of my favorite songs. You did it wonderfully. :)

[HarukaTokimeki]

OMG... this make me cry :'

[sorchatallulahmccart]

Can I buy this on iTunes in the UK? Can't seem to find it anywhere :(

[ALLADINification]

You guys are really underrated. I dont understand what on earth makes those stupid pop singers so famous. My point. ; This Is Brilliant!

[15kmath0]

this is a really good song to choose...it makes me cry everytime i hear it beecause of how it happened on grey's anatomy and you are the perfect singer to sing it...and p.s....great guitar playing

[withalimetwist]

Saw you guys play at the goo goo dolls concert on saturday -- your live version of this was beautiful.

[JoseGuidoxLove]

Omg that's amazing ! And I think that is my FAVORITE song !!

[malu1co]

Amazing.

[thelongsummerdrive]

I love this song ohso much <3 Thank you for it.

[viusomiant]

Lovely....!!

[Maggie12791]

What a beautiful cover :)

[ilovekeane]

@Maggie12791 is it really a cover if its by performed by one of the members???

[Maggie12791]

@ilovekeane Why it is the real Unkle Bob! :D I thought it was an especially good cover cause I didn't know what they looked like and didn't read the description. Well, google helped, now I know :).

[ChyrstynMariah]

If there was a way for me to get a copy of you covering this song, I would choreograph my next contemporary solo to it. Because I like your tempo, and the simplicity of the guitar without the violin in the back (as in the original song). and your voice is lovely...

[rik808]

@ChyrstynMariah hey there, are you in the usa? if so just search for unkle bob "flux" and you can get it for 99c. let me know if you're struggling....

[ChyrstynMariah]

@rik808 Thanks for that, I'll look further into it. :)

[vanecrislene]

Adoreiiii....toca muito bem.e canta também.

His voice is echoing and shit.

[hardr0ck]

[italiangrl3343]

It is simply incredible.

[italiangrl3343]

"Sugar and Spite" is an awesome album! Even better when you've got a signed copy, haha. I recommend it to everyone.

[agnesmaryt]

I recommend everyone to buy the album of Uncle Bob, "Sugar and Spite"...

Perfect songs!!!!

Pieces of diamond.

It is totally worth it.

[rik808]

Anyone looking for TABS to Swans and other Unkle Bob tunes can find them on the bands website. Join the google group for free tabs, b-sides etc

[Dash2000]

Oh my God! We need these guys here in Germany! I had heard the song on Grey's Anatomy as well and I had to buy the album after that (UK-import, why the hell is the album not out in Germany???) You can't pick a favourite from the album because all the songs are great. Hope they will come to Germany one day.

[pinkunicornnnn]

i just heard this on grey's anatomy

love the chorus!! :)

[harrylennon]

the band names unkle bob but hes playin acoustic :D

[harrylennon]

[Altovide]

PERFECT A NICE JOB

[himbAer122]

i love this wonderful song

and im looking for the tabs of this song

[yesorno88]

i love this song sooooo much!it's so sad and beautiful

[rockchickforlife]

I absolutely love Unkle bobs songs.

I know every single word to every single song on the album :)

Saw Unkle bob in stoke when they were on tour with proclaimers.

Been hooked since

[flumpypigskin]

I watched this episode a thousand times just for this song.. it is an incredible song.. thank you

[Alu10000]

Great song...great song

[lisanna92]

i love this song...the voice is very good :)

[jfilipkaj]

Where i can download this song?

[SophieMcSoph]

I saw you live today at Plymouth Pavillions with the Proclaimers- you guys were brilliant well done- met you after the show & pestered you to sign my postcard- but yeah cheers hope you go far!

[millymollymandy16]

[BalflearffXII]

I love this song. Is so sad. . .

[supergirl2380]

His voice is great! Love this song.

[jrdcameraman]

I saw them live today earlyer at southhampton guild hall and they rocked compared to the proclaimers not saying tht there bad though, any way i was tlking to the drummer and if u read this id love to get in touch with u again! thnx

toby

[laijka]

Great song.

But why would you need tabs for it???

Just watch what chords he takes.. duh.

[Timmish2]

Dude this is a hard song and his not just picking notes within the chords.. He doing variations and such. A tab would be great

[laijka]

Dude... This is not a hard song. And I know he isn´t just picking notes within the chords. But it´s not like he improvises anything.

If people would just watch it a couple of times and look at his hands they wouldn´t need to ask about tabs. That´s all.

[Timmish2]

Maybe beginners do ;)

[laijka]

Fine I can go along with that. :)

But I doubt everyone here are beginners. ;)

[ClaireMurfee06]

anyone with a tab for this ???????????????

[StefanieN]

just, uaw

[Dirtbag14]

I soooo need to have the tabs of that!! Pretty Please? I love it so much, it's breathtaking! My e-mail is on my profilepage

[strawberry15770]

beautiful song, beautifully written, fantastic band.X

[fiyerosmyluver]

I prefer the live one to the recorded too! This song is so simple yet beautiful.

[Nafvt]

This song is just awesome! By the way, am I the only one to think that the live performance is better than the recorded one?

[THall4]

Incredible. I would give my left arm to write a song like this.

[BitterHoney1]

Awesome!

[greeneyedgnome]

i'm speechless. your vocals on this track are amazing.

[trainwreckchild]

man, the ending..gives me goosebumps..bt anyone think the ending's too short?

[nightdreamer666]

exactly what i was thinking... the ending of the song is my favourite bit and they don't make enough of it!

[hotiswhatiaimfor]

i really do think he's singing.

and it's good.

[voltaaafool]

Thatlurch is right. Sometimes old gear like fourtracks can give a better sound. Like how polaroids and disposable cameras these days can give better results than a $3600 Nikon D50.

[3washwsh]

awesome song

great voice

Amazzzzing words!!!!!!

thanks for posting!

[sevenmonroe]

tabs please, id really like that.

[azngurl7]

LIES! He's not really singing like that..

[ladyjane1410]

he is singing. I swear its true. buy the album : )

[superkazou]

no way to find the TAB .... please heeeeelp !

[bibbbaby]

For the love of god people!! TABS TABS ANYONE KNOW THE TABS??!!

[Chattia]

i just love this song..!

[BF101519]

man......great tune. Unbelievable voice

[jamieseptember]

my god, I've just listened to this song. It's amazing!

[kayyy182]

men i love you guys

i was in your concert in portugal in Oeiras Alive.

i dont know if you remmember me but i was the crazy guy sing swans with all my voice haha

i hope you come back here =D

[pinklml]

I love you guys!

[katywoo]

this is the most beautiful song ever. and just when i thought it couldn't get ANY BETTER, i hear this amazing acoustic version. i can now die peacefully.

[lilis2nd]

This song is so beautiful.. I've been playing back and forth where Izzie and Denny meets for the last time trying to find out the song.

Great song.

[greysgirl330]

absolutely beautiful...i wish i can compose something like that.

i love all the songs on grey's anatomy...they've got an aweomse soundtrack

[pankiegirl]

does anyone have the tabs??

[kittypwn]

Hes lipsyncing. Its kind of obvious. Theres a slight sustain and echo to his voice, and that cant be achieved in a room like that, or without a mic. Or then again, they might've put in the effect after recording and editing it on the computer.

[thatlurch]

No he's not!!! I've met Ron and some of the band and they put a mic through a 4 track into the camera to get the best sound possible.

x

[sexyfingers2301]

fucking great song!!

[Carolynnw]

Baby! it's so sad... you entered into my heart

[royalicecream]

this is awesome, i really love this song!

[wisenheimer2u]

This is such a gorgeous song. I can't believe they're not more popular in the U.S.; I guess their problem is they haven't sold out. "One by One" is a really great song too.

[akaina93]

I love this song and grey's anatomy!!!

[tonjesml]

Does anyone have the tabs? I'm not very advanced so even watching him do it I can't quite figure it out. Please send me tabs! Thanks

[Akina1021]

wow i REALLY want the guitar tabs for this... please anyone?

[naidavies]

Does anyone know where I can download a copy of this song? The only place I can find it is in i-tunes stores in UK and US and I cant access either store in Australia.

[JTMMMM]

Love it !
