This song really effects me , I’ve been living and dealing with PTSD since 2004. I literally cried the first time I heard it because it totally explains how I’ve been for a long time. I would explain more but I’m sure most might understand where I’m coming from.
I know a guy who has the same thing on his guitar. Damien's guitar is from the 80's and from the brown I'd say the top is cedar, which will wear down faster that spruce, my friends guitar was also cedar topped, he had it for a few decades. I play very hard and my spruce laminate top guitar (Probably the most durable) started showing quite a bit of wear after a year and a bit. Guess it depends how you play and how hard you pic. :)
Is that a hole worn down just past the pick guard there?? How many years of raging and rocking faces off would it take to wear a hole in a guitar with a piece of plastic. Thats just badass.
I could be way of base, but it seems to me like he's playing Em with the ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd fret of the B and E strings, then he hits D in passing with the ring and pinky still in place as he goes to G maj with the ring and pinky still there.
He didn't get rid of the band?! Lisa Hannigan & him parted ways, for reasons unknown. Anyway, the man is a genius. By far my favourite artist and I cannot wait to see him live.
Was he going out with Lisa or were they just band mates AND I Love his music It is actually proper decent and means stuff not just a load of bullshit that is usually written today!
where was this? and why did you poorly edit out "ass"? and of course coconuts have skins luvdntwntme. and the beginning is my favorite part of this.. when hes talking...
Actually the pin is missing but the string is still there... Most guitars have slotted bridges and the pin isn't really necessary, though it does slightly alter the tone of that string...
haha, that's quite overexagerrating matters...i know he probably wants us to treat him as he's a normal being, just like everyone...it shows it in his lyrics, that just like us, he goes through all kind of estrangement and struggles that force him to sit down and take a closer look at himself... but you're right on one aspect though...he really sounds like he has went through life and seen everything that it has to offer
he's such an idiot for getting rid of the band, lisa hannagan was one of the the reasons his songs were so beautiful. oh well at least we have the first two albums.

@chromedreamz It's three chords, although playing and singing it is kind of confusing because the rhythms don't match at all. :)
Sadly, I have no idea where this is from. And I didn't censor anything - it was already like that on the video I got.
Its a battered old Lowden, Northern Irish Master piece of a guitar!

Yes over a decade old and it still sounds terrible when he sings “ co ki nut” then“ co Ke nut” instead of Coconut.😂
he's such an idiot for getting rid of the band, lisa hannagan was one of the the reasons his songs were so beautiful. oh well at least we have the first two albums.
