Canadian Winter
Posted by Emily Gleeson on Friday, April 8, 2011
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this recently but I've been neglecting my acoustic guitar for my younger, redder electric. (I feel like a guy going through a mid-life crisis) Yesterday I came home however, and decided to pick it up and play an old, old song I wrote around 2005. It's called Canadian Winter. I almost forgot it's E-A-A-D-A-D tuning. I sat there for probably ten minutes before I could remember it, and almost gave up, but then some brain path clicked and I went EUREKA! and away we went. I've played this song in bars and I've had it recorded a few times and when I had a band called The Correspondents it was one of our best tunes so it not only brought back some memories playing it, it also warmed me up a little...something the sultry essence of distorted electric sound just can't pull off. Anyway, here's another "home video" that I hope some of you will enjoy, even just for nostalgia's sake.
