Winner's Blues -getting the record straight
 
Ok I have not heard one postive thing about the song 'Winner's Blues', but I absolutely love it. I don't get it! It's soooo good! Really cool and 90's and a great way to start of an album. SY hasn't really done anything like it.

Does anyone else like this song? Or really hate it(explain)?

Lurker 06.22.2006 04:01 PM

Yeah I really like it!

Dan 06.22.2006 04:15 PM

i like it a lot. along with the rest of the album.

FruitLoop 06.22.2006 04:17 PM

...and it's really easy to play, too.

Lurker 06.22.2006 04:27 PM

Really? How do you play it?

FruitLoop 06.22.2006 04:32 PM

Tuning is pretty much yr average Open G tuning but 3 tones down (EEBEG#B), basically an open E.

For the tab itself, behold the greatness of Mustang.

I love it. It got me on the first listen.

Lurker 06.22.2006 04:39 PM

Cool!

Pax Americana 06.22.2006 04:40 PM

I like it.

Alex's Trip 06.22.2006 04:43 PM

getting the record straight
...shouldn't it be "'setting' the record straight"?

I like the singing. When he says "wait a long, long time" the "wait" seems to be out of his range, but he sings it nicely.

However, I don't like Bone.

Burn out your eyes
Burn out surprise

as in Sophocles' King Oedipus
 



I had no idea that the ancient Greeks wore slacks like that^hehe

i remember looking at the back of this cd before buying it and this track instantly appealed to me. then i sampled the song in the store. thought it sounded great

toxic johnny 06.22.2006 04:58 PM

It's very true that this is a totally unique SY song... I really like it.
I remember I was dumbfounded when I first heard it because it was so different to anything that they'd ever done before.

Danny Himself 06.22.2006 04:59 PM

I got quoted. Cool.

Winners Blues is a nice one to play, though I never tried it on an acoustic. I think it's a wonderful opening track, and the way it ends is great: fading whistles, guitar plugs in.

It's a good song along with a lot of the others off of Jet. But for some reason they never sit well together as an album...

fluxequalsrad 06.22.2006 05:24 PM

setting the record straight.....yeah you're right I feel stupid

krastian 06.22.2006 05:26 PM

I've always loved it....and the album.
