This song still makes me feel things
I feel like the instruments in the background are cymbalic of something.
The og menzingers demo with this and Casey and really all of em, is a fucking masterpiece it should definitely get more recognition. Love Greg and the menzingers, miss this shit 😢
I remember you well at the Sun Hotel
Next to Fernando's Corner Store Grocery
Behind the factory spoils where no souls should be found
We kept our voices low from the city
I played you a song about the town that I was from
While Dan played "Casey" while sipping on a Mickey's
We drank to forget that our lives were a wreck
That's when I realized you were the only pretty thing left
I remember you well at the Sun Hotel
Where we were famous, and our hearts were fucking legends
And you told me again,
"Greg I prefer more handsomer men, but for you tonight I will make an exception."
You were clenching your fists
You were biting your upper lip
I watched a thousand tiny goosebumps gain territory of your skin
And for whatever this is worth
I was happy
I was sure of everything
But you got away
Yeah didn't you babe?
But you got away
And I never once heard you say "I need you."
Well I don't need you
God I need you
Well I don't need you
God I need you
Well I don't need you
God I need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
No, I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
That's it
That's it
He's borrowing a lot of Leonard Cohen here. Which I hope a lot of people commenting on this know of. Look up Chelsea Hotel No. 2. He did a great job reworking it, and changing up lyrics in a real folk tradition.
I think he said so as well in an interview somewhere? That's why this song isn't on the record and "sun hotel" is what this song eventually became.
I love all their songs but holy shit this one became my favorite as soon as i found it. It stomps me in the chest with a elephant's trunk of a foot. The lyrics' sorrow and the light-heart acoustic make you tear up on many levels.
Sounds good!! Sun hotel is a dirty ass place though, condemned now. Wish i could go back to the days of skating all day and jumping the cliffs in ledgedale!!! Song brings me back to highschool!!
Why did this not make it on the album? It would have been a great closer, not that Freedom Bridge isn't it's a perfect closer, but these two together would have killed
Greg, why does it hurt so bad? :(
Its on the possible past album. The acoustic album.
Still so fucking good
I really hope that everyone understands they took this and made a different version of the song Chelsea hotel pt2
for this he plays capo on the 4th but on the actual taped version he plays capo on the 5th
Capo fifth fret, play in C position. its real easy to figure out from there, mostly just 1 4 and 5 chords
Can anyone make a Ultimate Guitar chord page for this?
Just made one, it should be up now
This video deserves more than 3,300 views. It's sickening that the likes of Rihanna are more popular, yet can't even write a truly amazing song like this.
I got capo 4th?
anybody know the chords for this??
AAAGH..I've been trying to figure this song out for hours! Any one know what chord positions he's using? I can't crack it for the life of me.
Yeah, it's pretty simple actually. Capo on the fourth fret if you're in standard tuning. The only four chords he uses are the ever cliche C, Am, G, and F, but they're swapped around every so often.
For the most part, the C is in the normal position.
For the G, keep your index finger where it would be in a C chord so it's on the first fret of the B string and don't put down your pinky or ring finger on the third fret of the B and high E strings like you normally would for a G. When the song speeds up, you can put your pinky down on the third fret of the high E string if you want it there. It's won't sound bad and may add some extra flavor to it.
The Am is normal, but again, if you want to add in that pinky on the high E's third fret, go for it; it'll add some color to the transitions.
The F is played like a normal F chord would be except for the high E string, where you should have that played open, so I would suggest (to make it easier, and since I'm such a lazy player, I do it for almost every barre chord I do on the low E string) using your thumb to press down the first fret of the low E string.
It's probably not EXACTLY the way Greg plays it, but why would you want to play exactly like someone else? Be yourself. That's what punk is about.
Oh, and the "I don't need you"s are just Am and Em.
Thank you...Thank you so much.
No worries. I've been playing the song all day now after I wrote all that out.
It makes sense with the chords you suggested. I can hear them definitely. It's his positioning that keeps throwing me off.
