focus ring is probably my favorite project erik works on. you can literally see the emotion put into these songs. all of his music is honest but the raw acoustics really push these specific songs over the edge
it’s so awesome. now though, he’s said in interviews he’s not into the emo kind of genre or style anymore after the first remo drive album went out, explaining the big shift in style since that
Focus Ring - Shaky Hands I sit in my room with my left hand holding your photograph. My right hand is holding the scissors I intend to use when I cut it in half. ‘Cuz I don’t need you anymore, yeah, I don’t need you anymore I’ll bury the box filled with half sheets of paper. Turn myself back in, into the earth x2 I sit in my room with my left hand holding your photograph. My right hand is shaking, I lack the courage to cut it in half. What if I was wrong, and I needed you all along? I’ll bury the box filled with half sheets of paper. Turn myself back in, into the earth x2 I sit in my room with my left hand holding your photograph. My right hand is holding the scissor that’s currently cutting it in half I was right all along. I didn't need you, not at all I’ll bury the box filled with half sheets of paper. Turn myself back in, into the earth x2 Lemme know if anything is wrong. I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I thought I'd post them here.
I miss raw everything associated with Erik used to be. You could hear it and see it in every ounce of music he recorded and performed. It’s unfortunate to see the direction they’ve taken in my opinion, which seems to be shared by a lot of folks. Just wish the issues never came up, and that, selfishly, they had never strewn so far away from what made their fans love them in the first place. This was my pissed off rant after hearing the music they just put out and thinking back on the last few projects. Used to love them and now they fade into obscurity for me and I’m sure many others.
Шаткие Руки Я сижу в своей комнате в левой рукой держу твою фотографию. Моя правая рука держит ножницы, которые я собираюсь использовать, когда я разрежу её пополам. Потому что ты мне больше не нужна, да, ты мне больше не нужна Я закопаю коробку, наполненную половиной листов бумаги. Вернись обратно, в землю x2 Я сижу в своей комнате с левой руке держу твою фотографию. Моя правая рука дрожит, мне не хватает смелости разрезать ее пополам. Что, если бы я ошибался, и я нуждался в тебе все время? Я закопаю коробку, наполненную половиной листов бумаги. Вернись обратно, в землю x2 Я сижу в своей комнате с левой руке держу твою фотографию. Моя правая рука держит ножницы, которые в настоящее время разрезают его пополам Я всегда был прав. Ты мне совсем не нужна, совсем нет Я закопаю коробку, наполненную половиной листов бумаги. Вернись обратно, в землю x2 Дай знать, если что-то не так. Я нигде не мог найти слова , поэтому подумал, что отправлю их сюда.
Daniel Gonzales The tuning is like sleepless DGDGBE It's not accurate but it works :p (I strum just the top four strings) D-9 9 9 2 G-8 8 8 4 D-9 11 8 6 G-8 8 8 X B-X X X X E-X X X X 2nd part of verse I think D-9 8 6 4 2 G-8 8 8 6 4 D-9 9 9 8 6 G-8 8 X X X B-X X X X X E-X X X X X
Daniel Gonzales Chorus? (Sorta just muted most of it) D-2 1 6 5 2 2 G-4 4 8 8 4 4 D-X X 9 9 6 5 G-X X X X X X B-X X X X X X E-X X X X X X And that should be it I mean I just watched and mimicked what Erik is doing but it's not accurate but sounds nice could be wrong so correct me if there are any flaws
Just keep practicing them until you get it down. Get a guitar with a shorter scale length if you don't have long fingers. I'm not gonna lie, they're difficult to play and transition between, but if you practice enough they're not at all impossible. You're just not used to playing them, the muscle memory isn't there. Only for other chord shapes you're already familiar with.
@@NoFunInVegas i know this is old, but "near impossible"? That's a stretch. It's not that hard of a song once you know the chords. (They've been posted in these comments and they're on ultimate guitar)
Focus Ring srry to accuse u my bad, i saw u perform live and my friends said u were high and u seemed different but it was still a good performance u just weren't as into it also there was a lot of weed smell from somewhere lol glad to know it wasnt u

isnt it "Cut in in half" instead of "cut it out" XD
Dead Dark Knights You're right :o Thanks!
swordfish896 one still days cut it out
God bless your soul for this
@@BlackToastee no he says "cut it in half"
My hands are cramping just watching this
It's this sort of unpolished but talented work that gives me hope to become a successful musician like him.
Late 2019? I still call it a bop
Edit: this hits different in 2024
nostalgic
i agree
2020 update: still very much so a bop :)
2020 still a bop :)
@@youuglyyouyodaddysonaye432 remo drive's over?

You're facial expressions are priceless. Love the song!
I hope to see you perform live someday:)
Your voice is so honest and it makes me melt

This song really gave me the strength I needed today to say what I needed to say. Thank you for writing this.
I listen to this nightly, while being in a relationship I don’t know if I even want anymore. Definitely relatable ❤️

Bro I need to know these chords hahahaha
how do i like harder
just seeing those chord shapes makes you want to cringe guitarists worst nightmare
Oberon Smith explain
Oberon Smith the chords or near impossible, super tough shapes
