Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Not for those who hate the song, or wanted to hate it (the latter being my league.).

I more or less hated it when my mom prefaced the song by calling it "The Booty Call Song!"
@___@;

But the music itself is so beautiful, as is the vocal melody.
The steel guitar part makes my heart ache, and makes me feel like I want to cry, it sounds so sad and lonely...

In truth, I rather like the song... the lyrics... especially that particularly charming lyric, "I'm a little drunk" XD
Followed immediately by "And I need you now." XD

I like it only because I couldn't help but find it surprising the first time I heard it. It still makes me laugh to this day. XD

In truth, I have a few favorite lines in the lyrics because of the emotion and sentiment behind them. I can relate pretty heavily to them. XD
Mostly it's the longing and lonely feeling throughout the song that I can relate to. It's a sad memory, what can I say? n_n;

"Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor."

"And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?"
"For me, it happens all the time..."

This is how he plays it, there are just some differences in the fingerings,
like playing F 133210 so you can do the hammer-ons, and hammer-ons during the Am
in the verses and C in the chorus. (just for the record, I made this tab
before that video came out, I didn't just rip him off! But I have made some
slight changes since to make it more accurate.)**

And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door

Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before

For me it happens all the time
