Am I too easily impressed?

Maybe,

Just gotta talk about the cool ass chord progression in the bridge of this song

It is F#/A# C/Em and just the jazziest thing ever that isn't really that complex but it was a bitch to pick out as I was convinced the guitar just played a chord and then the chord a major 2nd up. I mean It kinda sounds like that too. Really fun nut to crack. Love that they even came up with "yeah let's have the bass play a minor 7th down instead of octaves

I don't know much theory but I really dig the song! Any idea what the lyrics are about?

i agree - it's refreshing to hear straightforward chord voicing arranged in a quirky/clever way :thumb:

I'll never not be impressed by people who can break down music like this.

So, no, you're not too easily impressed. :lol: :lol:

Måndag ringer ge mig styrka att stå
Valde fel till gymnasiet men det får gå
Jag kan jobba, jag kan va arbetslös
Marknaden är snål, jag är generös

Om jag somnar
Sätt mig i ett träd
Ett träd på väg ut i sommaren
Sätt mig på prov igen

Mörkret faller, trillar ner över dan
Däcken tjuter, sommaren rasar i stan
Jag kan sitta hemma, jag kan gå ut
Jag kan vila upp mig, jag kan ta slut

Om jag vissnar
Sätt mig i ett träd
Ett träd på väg ut i sommaren
Finklädd och grön igen
Jag är grön igen
Grön igen
Jag är grön igen

I've never heard this song so I've translated it without any context. But it should be ok.

Monday is calling, give me strength to stand
I chose the wrong high school but it'll have to do
I can work, I can be unemployed
The market is kind, I am generous

If I fall asleep
Put me in a tree
A tree on its way to summer
Test me again

Darkness falls, falls down over the day
Tires screech, summer is collapsing in town (this is also a play on words, it could equally be that summer is angry in town)
I can sit at home, I can go out
I can rest, I can run out (like when you run out of something/ending, not literally running somewhere)

If I wilt
Put me in a tree
A tree on the way to summer
Well-clothed and green again
I am green again
Green again
I am green again

I've never really listened to Bob Hund (obviously. Not enough palm mutes) but I'm pretty sure the rhythm section of my band reckons they're good. I quite liked the lyrics to this one.

But did you like the vocals? :lol:

Pretty fun response on this thread. I have been obsessed with this record the past year. SAdly though the record after they went from weird to quirky which is not as great.

So, no, you're not too easily impressed. :lol: :lol:
thank you most of my theory knowledge comes from bullshitting a lot :thumb:

Well, it's way outside of what I normal like. I don't think I could listen to more than a couple of minutes of it. But I dug it, including the vocals.

Wow, thanks so much! Really brightened my day to stumble back on this
