City and Colour - Save Your Scissors (cover)

I'm a huge fan of City and Colour. Dallas Green is one of my absolute favorite songwriters. Save Your Scissors is a very fun, upbeat song and is a ton of fun to play. Dallas normally plays this song capo'd on the 4th fret, but to make the song easier on the piano, I capo'd a 1/2 step higher. This was the 8th try, I believe. Please subscribe if you enjoy the song.

LYRICS:
So go on And I will refrain
And I'll keep on running this never ending race
maybe next time will be the right time
and maybe next time will be your time

So save your scissors For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough I don't think the blade will dig in
Save your strength Save your wasted time
There's no way that I want you to be left behind
Go on save your scissors Save your scissors

So why does it always seem
That every time I turn around
Somebody falls in love with me
This has never been my soul intention
And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions

There is something that I must confess
To you tonight, to you tonight
And that is I expect nothing less
From you tonight, from you tonight

Go on and save your scissors

you did a fantastic cover of this song :) Next time you should sing louder or find a way to turn down the instruments cause I can't hear your voice that well. Just sayin. Please don't thumbs down

[TwoCapitals]

@Paulharper100 I totally hear you man. This is something we're aware of and try to compensate for. The guitar just projects so loudly. I try to play soft and sing loud, but it's hard. Thanks for the comment.

@TwoCapitals Well done! Love the incorporation of the keys. Did you have the keys plugged into an amp or a P.A? Great singing too, you guys need mics if you don't have some already :)

[TwoCapitals]

@SuperHarvestMan For this one, we just picked up the audio using the video camera's microphone. Typically, I like to mic everything separately, but it just takes so dang long to set everything up, sound check everything, then mix it all and add effects.

Guitar Tutorial Please !!!!!!

Guitar man, you need to do a tutorial on the guitar part asap! hehe

[lukebeazley]

@TwoCapitals Hey man, try playing without a pick, that'll make the guitar a lot quieter. Great cover btw, you have a real good voice just a shame we can't hear it that well

[NateOnly]
