The Frames - Red Chord (Acoustic Witnness 2001)

The Frames perform 'Red Chord' acoustic at Witnness 2001 Festival in Ireland.

LYRICS:
Well I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
It helps me out
When you're away

When I was in the army
And they called you back to save me
And I was resting soft
In the arms of my war

And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
So you're not so far away

And I was at the uni..
The university of
Blind love and black poetry
And it was there I found you
And you were happy like an angel
But for everything you learned
There is something you must let go of

And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord

Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord
Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord

Is John Carney playing bass here by any chance? If not where is there video of him playing with Frames?

[irishmusiccentral]

@zhandoatosl no that's Joe Doyle on bass there. If you to see John Carney playing, search for a video called "The Frames - 'fish' Interview" @ 1:42

[ProkesMarek]

Yeah, one of best pieces. The Frames are rare.

So glad I found this band through youtube. I had NEVER heard of them before as they get no radio play here. Such a great band.

[MsTeacher82]

Am in that video...the frames do good live!...

First heard this song just a couple of months after this vid was recorded. He was at a Jeff Buckley birthday tribute, and in that context, this song just ripped my heart out, even more so than when he played "Neath the Beeches" which he wrote at the moment he heard of Jeff's death. By the time he got near the end where he sings louder, I was sobbing uncontrollably. Hugely cathartic. Soooo very lucky to have discovered Glen that night!

I actually Saw The Frames play on Jimmy Fallon several weeks ago, which was a first for me... So Glad I did!! I Love Glen Hansards music now! Also Guys if you havent seen it, Check out the Movie "ONCE" He's the Main Character and he plays his Music Throughout!!!

[zhandoatosl]

Sorry. Pretty daft of me not to look up Carney's wikipedia entry.

Still would be fun to see video of him when he was in The Frames.

Thier music reminds me of mountain rivers, and i think the chords in this song sound more blue and green, not red. Pretty though. Fair play to them!
