Johanna Warren - Black Moss Tabs/Chords/Lyrics

This is a fine example of a complex song made easier with alternate tuning. Tune your guitar to DADEAD and throw the capo on 2. See the tabs at the end of the post. I transcribed the song from the following video.

Black Moss Chords/Lyrics

Badd2                              EMaj7
Fear is the weight we carry
from the cradle straight to our graves,
and love is the treasure we bury;
pain alternates with pleasure in beautiful waves

and you've been watching me—
you say I emanate some strange magnetic power,
but don't be drawn to me;
I may be here today, but soon black moss will cover

EMaj9                 Badd2
over my dead body. (3x)

You've been a lot of places—
left me forgotten by your side—
and maybe the feeling's baseless,
but something still stirs in me when I look in your eyes,

'cause you've been kind to me;
I never quite believed you when you said it's over.
Well what is wrong with me?
I trusted you—you watched me open like a flower

over my dead body. (3x)

Guitar Tabs and Lyrics:

Weezer's Photograph Novicely Translated into Esperanto

The following is my first pass at translating some Weezer into esperanto. I want to do a youtube video where I sing it in esperanto, but the translation has too many syllables to be completely singable at the moment.

(La sekvo estas mia unua provo traduki ion Weezer en Esperanto. Mi volas fari videon ke mi kantas la kanton en Esperanto, sed la traduko havas tro multajn silabojn esti tuta kantebla nun.)

Se vi volas ĝin, vi haveblos

Sed vi bezonas lerni atingi al tien preni

Ĉar ĉiu bezonas io amon (o koro)

Pafado el la steloj supra (o koro)

Kvankam mia koro rompos

Io estas pli ke mi preneblos

Mi neniam ekhaveblos sufiĉe

Se vi volas ĝin, vi devus montri

Ĉar vi povus ludi tre monaĥe ke vi ruinus ĝin

Ĉar ĉiu bezonas espero (o koro)

Ion ili eble apenaŭ scias (o koro)

Kvankam mia koro rompos

Io estas pli ke mi preneblos

Mi neniam permesos ke ĝi ekiri

Ĝin estas en la foto

Ĝin estas en la foto

Ĝin estas en la foto de amo

Ĉar ĉiu volas revon (o koro)

Ion ili eble apenaŭ rigaras (o koro)

Kvankam mia koro rompos

Io estas pli ke mi preneblos

Mi neniam lasi ĝi resti

Ĝin estas en la foto

Ĝin estas en la foto

Ĝin estas en la foto de amo

Se vi ruinus ĝin, vi ne malakceptu

Ĵus side faru la planojn kaj re-komencu

Ĵus side faru la planojn kaj re-komencu

Ĵus side faru la planojn kaj re-komencu

If you want it, you can have it
But you've got to learn to reach out there and grab it

'Cause everybody wants some love
Shooting from the stars above
And though my heart will break
There's more that I could take
I could never get enough

If you need it, you should show it
'Cause you might play so monastic that you blow it

'Cause everybody wants some hope
Something they can barely know
And though my heart will break
There's more that I could take
I could never let it go

It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph of love

'Cause everybody wants a dream
Something they can barely see
And though my heart will break
There's more that I could take
I could never let it be

It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph of love

If you blew it, don't reject it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it

Ninja and Unicorn: Part 1

I'm very happy with how this one is coming together.

My CD looks like a spaceship

Bkchooo!
My CD is a spaceship.

Earthquakes and Trampolines

If you didn't have the pleasure of experiencing the quake, it felt like standing on a trampoline while someone else is jumping on it, except everything around you is also on the trampoline. I hope that next time a quake hits, I will be standing on a trampoline with someone else jumping on it, so I can tell you what it feels like to experience both of those things at the same time.

Perhaps we can simulate this by putting one trampoline with someone else jumping on it on top of another trampoline with somebody else jumping on it. Who's with me?
