Standing Man: Jesus I'm sorry! I didn't see you there. Are you okay? Lying Down Man: Yes. Standing: What happened? Did you fall? Lying: No I'm fine. Please leave me alone Standing: You've been drinking Lying: I haven't been drinking Standing: Why are you lying in the middle of the pavement? You could have broken my neck! Look... what's wrong? Here, let me help you Lying: *shouts* No! Don't touch me! ** A group of people see the man lying down, and come over ** Woman: What's the matter with him? Has he fallen? Standing: No, he hasn't fallen Man: Is he hurt? Lying: No, please all of you leave me alone Woman: He must be mad Lying: I'm not mad. Just leave me alone Standing: Why are you lying down? Why won't you tell me what's wrong? Lying: Look, I can't tell you... It wouldn't be right ** A policeman arrives on a motorbike ** Woman: He must be mad. Oh look! Officer! Officer! ** The officer bends down to talk to the man lying in the street ** Officer: Are you alright? Lying: I'm fine. Please, will you just let me lie here? Officer: I'm afraid I can't let you do that, sir. *reaches out for the man lying down* Lying: *shouts* Don't touch me! Standing: Just tell me why you're lying there! Tell me! Lying: You don't want to know. Please believe me Standing: You don't think that there's any point, right? What, that we're all going to die? Is that it? Is that why you're lying there? Lying: No. Officer: Tell us! Tell us for Christ's sake! Lying: You want to know why I'm lying here? Standing: Yes! Lying: You really want to know? Yes, I'll tell you. I'll tell you why I'm lying here But God forgive me... And God help us all. Because you don't know what you ask of me Standing: Tell us!

I think that "You", "Anyone Can Play Guitar," "Airbag," "How To Disappear Completely," "Pyramid Song" (Fun to play if you figure out the chords on a keyboard, too), "Fake Plastic Trees," "High and Dry" and "Street Spirit" are pretty easy. Reminds me, I read on www.greenplastic.com that the Darkness cover "Street Spirit", and described it as what Radiohead would sound like as a Jersey hair band. Haven't heard it yet, though.

yeah, i was gonna give fake plastic trees a go but then i thought i should ask around since im still a newbie when it comes to guitar. also, they have that darkness cover over at the at ease message board (www.ateaseweb.com/mb) just use the search feature and it should be on there.

for "Knives Out" you don't strum the chords, they are appregiated. if you don't have much experience with appregiations or with string skipping...or just general picking i would recommend this song. it might be a challenge if you are just starting, but it will give you basics for many common techniques in guitar playing.

I haven't tried to play True Love Waits yet. I should try that. I've tried Knives Out, but I'm not very good at keeping a fingerpicking tempo through the whole song.
I'm more of a chord player, I guess, I've never really been too good at picking and diads (sp?), but I've always had a good rhythm at guitar with power chords and strumming.

lately i have been moving back towards a more rhythm inclined approach to guitar. i have been focussing on picking up jazz voicings. i don't play jazz, i just love the sound of the common variations. also, i have been working with open minor and major chords again...teaching myself to sing and strum at the same time. neutral milk hotel is ideal material if anyone is wanting to attempt it...it is certainly a change from my normally improv-focussed playing.
