Alicia Keys - No One Chords and Lyrics

Only my second post of an Alicia Keys song - one of those artists I haven't quite made my mind up about yet! But... I do like "No One", her first single from the "As I Am" album, and as it sits on top of the US singles charts, am obviously not alone here!! I suppose 30 million record buyers can't be wrong...

Anywaze, my interpretation of "No One" is now on my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:

Wilco - Either Way Chords

Yet another band I keep promising to listen more too - Wilco, a kind of alternative country/indie band from Chicago. They've been around for quite a while ( first album released in 1995 ), but I'm listening to their later stuff and working my way back!

I've worked out my interpretation of "Either Way" from their new 2007 album "Sky Blue Sky" - a lovely song, one I really enjoy playing.

You can find my version of the song chords and lyrics for "Either Way" on my Rock Song chords page at the link below:

Find out more about Wilco on their official band website at http://www.wilcoworld.net

UPDATE 12 OCT 2009. This song, along with the other Wilco songs I've worked out, is now on my Wilco guitar chords and lyrics page. PJ

Magic Numbers - Love Me Like You/Wheels on Fire chords

Haven't posted a Magic Numbers song for a while, but I've been listening to them quite a bit lately, and getting to really like their songs. So I've worked out two more and added them to my site. As I plan to include more chords and lyrics for their songs, I've created a Magic Numbers Guitar Chords page on my site.

The new songs added are both from the eponymous 2005 "Magic Numbers" album - "Love me like you" and "Wheels on Fire". Great songs to sing, obviously better if you have someone to do the harmonies!

You can find my version of the chords and lyrics for the songs at the link below.

Just to remind you aboutn a cool software tool for musicians I featured on a previous Blog post - SongSurgeon. This program would be a boon to any musician, not just guitar players. Basically a very simple idea - you take a song you own in electronic format - CD, MP3, whatever, and the program allows you to slow it down without changing the pitch. You can mark a section ( e.g. guitar solo ) and loop so that it plays over and over. Simple, but brilliant!

I hate to think of the number of hours I've spent with fingers poisted over the Pause, Play, and 'Back' buttons, just to try to figure out a nifty guitar riff, or make sense of a vocal. Pity no-one came up with this idea years ago!

Anyway, I highly recommend that you check it out, at Song_Surgeon.com

Battle of the Bands in Cyberspace - vote MOERAES FATE ( Dame)

Thankfully, I've gotten back into stride and posted several new song chords over the past coupla weeks.

Right now, I have something to ask of you. Nothing, big, just a few minutes from your busy day, to listen to what I believe to be the best internet rock band around. It will cheer you up, make me happy, and make a bunch of really great young female rock musicians happy. Everybody wins... easy!!

I have only blogged off-topic twice before, to spread the good word on a fabulous young girl band from Canada called Dame ( 29 Sep 09 - now renamed as Moeraes Fate ). Since joining MySpace over 2 years ago to promote my website, I have been exposed to some of the best new music being produced by young bands, mostly unsigned. Many of these are on my 'Friend List' ( I always accept requests and respond with honest appraisals ), But Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ) for me are the future of rock music.

Moeraes Fate( Dame ) have stood out as the best internet band I've heard by far, writing and performing "Big loud rock tunes with big loud hooks" ( in their own words ), or kickass Rock music the way it was always meant to sound ( my version! ). They have four songs ( Cyclops, Intervention, Hey Angel, and Amnesia ) featured on the Moeraes Fate ( Dame ) Myspace page - three of these can also be heard on the Dame Battle of the Bands page. There is also a Youtube video montage of their songs on the Dame Band Myspace page.

If you can make it over, and cast your vote at this Moeraes Fate (Dame) Battle of the Bands page link, you'll have that warm feeling of having made the world a better place. Please do yourself a favour, listen to the Moeraes Fate (Dame) songs , they have a great new rock sound. And you can help a talented young all-girl rock band move on to better things.

If you are as impressed as I have been with the Moeraes Fate sound, remember that you can revisit and vote every day up to December 31

Thanks for your patience, there will be new song chords and lyrics coming along really soon!

Enjoy your music,

PJ

Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey-oh!) chords

Love 'em or hate 'em - but write 'em off at your peril. The Red Hot Chili Peppers may be a bit long-in-the-tooth, but they're still churning out their inimitable brand of rock, and will outlast many of the more 'in vogue' indie and rock bands of today.

Stadium Arcadium debuted at #1 in both the US and UK album charts when it was released in 2006. Snow is the band's 11th No. 1 single, and the third single from the album to reach the top spot.

So, hopefully in keeping with the season that's in it, I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics from RCHP's Snow, which you can find on my Red Hot Chili Peppers Guitar Chords page at the link below:

The Arcade Fire - Wake Up Chords

Another band I really need to catch up with is "Arcade Fire". While being aware of them for some time, I really haven't taken the time to listen to their work.

They are a Canadian band founded in 2003 by Win Butler and Régine Chassagne ( husband and wife ), and have released two studio albums - "Funeral" in 2004 and "Neon Bible" earlier this year.

"Wake up" comes from the earlier album, and I've added my chords and lyrics version of the song to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:
Hopefully I will manage to add another couple from this album before moving on to "Neon Bible".

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone chords

Paddy Casey - 'Addicted to Company' chords

Always a pleasure to add a post from an Irish artist!.

Hardly prolific, Paddy has just released his 3rd album, having had major successes with 'Amen(So be it)' in 1999 and the multi-platinum 'Living' in 2003.

'Addicted to Company(Part 1 )' was released in September 2007, and while four years between albums seems a long wait, it was certainly worth it.


The first single from the album is also called 'Addicted to Love', and I have worked out my interpretation of the song, and posted it to my Rock Songs page: http://www.guitarsongs.info/rock.htm - PJs Guitar Chords - Rock songs
at the link below:

Scissor Sisters - I don't feel like Dancing

Whatever it is about the Scissor Sisters, it's always hard to find anyone who admits they might be cool, but everytime they release a single, it's the most requested song I get!!

Took me a while to exorcise the whole ghost of the 'Bee Gees' that haunts the new one, but, in the end, it's just a good-time song you can have a lot of fun playing on guitar, so I've posted it to my 'Pop Songs' page:

Hold On - KT Tunstall

Scottish songstress KT Tunstall released her second studio album, "Drastic Fantastic" earlier this year, and it completely lives up to the expectation generated by her debut album "Eye to the Telescope".

"Hold On" is the first single from the album. It's a great rocky, raunchy song - you can check it out on KT's MySpace page

I have worked out my interpretation of the song, and posted the song chords and lyrics to my KT Tunstall page: KT Tunstall Guitar chords and lyrics

Carla Bruni - Those Dancing Days are Gone

An Italian-born, French supermodel turned songwriter and musical artist, brings us a song with lyrics by late, great Irish poet W.B. Yeats - an unlikely and unusual combination to say the least!

But that is what Carla Bruni has brought us with "Those Dancing Days are gone", a brilliant track from her "No Promises" album, released earlier this year. All of the songs on the album are based on lyrics of poems by some of the world's greats - Emily Dickinson, W.H. Auden and Dorothy Parker among them.

I have worked out my interpretation of the song, and posted it to my Soul/Rhythm & Blues page: Guitar chords and lyrics for Soul R&B songs


Carla Bruni's official website is carlabruni.com

Idiot Wind - Bob Dylan

I was playing at a party in a friends house recently, when someone requested Dylan's "Idiot Wind". It had been a while since I played it, and I couldn't be sure of remembering all of the lyrics. "Just go to the Dylan page on my website, and print it off for me, I'll play it later", I said ( well, slurred actually, it was getting late... ). I was amazed when the answer came back that it wasn't there, I had never posted it...

Coming from one of Dylan's greatest works "Blood on the Tracks", this is one of those songs many people won't know, but all of the Dylan fans in the audience will sit up and listen. The powerful, sneering lyrics make it a really fun song to do, also!

So I have remedied the omission, the song is now on my Bob Dylan page ( link below ).

Hey There Delilah - Plain White Ts

Only heard this band for the first time the other day, when "Hey There Delilah" came on the radio, but apparently they have been around a while - their first album Come on Over was released in 2001. Definitely a band I need to catch up with!

I have posted my version of "Hey There Delilah" to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:

The song itself can be found on the band's EP of the same name, also on their 2005 album "All that we needed".
