This is the first song of his that I ever heard, a few years ago... I actually got the album this song was on before I knew Benson was in the Raconteurs...I was surprised to hear it, but it's good that he's being appreciated, even if the albums of his that I have were overlooked.
Life in the D is in the key of D Verse - D (w/C# instead of D on B string), G It's life... E, F#m, Am (w/F#,F,E run on 1st string) Unseen by... E, F#m, A Skeptics think.. G,A,D----Em, A (with 6th sting run down g,f#, e)and repeat
Sometimes frustrating to like obscure music like this because no one ever recognizes what you're humming or what bands you're referring to... its invisible. Still can't help liking it though.
Korance Goodwin You're better off. This is quality music. I wish there were more amazing melodies like this being born today. I can't believe this material is 13.5 years old...
And this song went to be part of Lapalco my favorite album.
I love how their doing the other instrument parts with their voices.

Crazy and unfair world
