Final update – April 16, 2009.

A little bit embarrasing to get this to you more than a year after the release but hey, better late than never right?

Anyway, what I found out was that the chords were wrong…again. Thanks to Venzael I changed the progression from “Dm  F  C  Bm” to “Dm F C Dmaj7″. She was actually right about the last one, but Dm and C is not correct. It’s supposed to be “BbM7  F  Am7  Dmaj7″. I’m changing the whole thing now. Last time, I promise!

———————————-

“You have to burn the rope” keeps spreading. I’ve had some requests about the chords I’m playing. I was going to reply fast but then I realised that I’d forgotten how I played the song…

I thought the end of the verse-progression was Bm. Oh how wrong I was. Thanks to Venzael it’s now correct.

Verse

BbM7 – F – Am7 – Dmaj7

BbM7……..F
Congratulations

I’d like to add some trivia here.

You know the second time I sing “You burned the rope and saved us all”, that’s when I start to play a string on my keyboard. There’s a construction site right next to my house where they’re building around the clock. This perticular night I was editing the song in Reason when I heard a high pitch tone coming streaming through the window. I thought “hey, I have to have some strings somewhere in my song.”.

You never know where inspiration will come from.
