Composer: John Martyn I think John Martyn played this in his favourite open tuning of CFCCGD and added a capo at the 2nd fret. The version below is much easier to get to from standard tuning and back again without having to alter every single string. 6 5 4 3 2 1 Tune 1st and 6th strings down to match the 4th string Tune 2nd string down to match 5th string Dm7 = 053500 Bb6add9 = x13030 Am11 = x02030 Em7 = 055400 Gsus4 = 555555 The second half of the song is improvised.

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, l’artiste exprime un profond besoin d'authenticité et de paix intérieure. Il évoque les luttes émotionnelles auxquelles il fait face, comme le désespoir et la solitude, tout en soulignant l'importance d'accepter ce qu'il peut obtenir dans la vie. L'idée centrale est que l'amour, malgré les épreuves et les douleurs, reste une force suprême et essentielle à sa quête de bonheur. L’atmosphère de la chanson est teintée d’un réalisme délicat, où l’on ressent la lutte entre les hauts et les bas de l’existence. On y perçoit aussi une vulnérabilité qui rappelle que chaque individu, peu importe son parcours, peut se sentir perdu ou en quête de réconfort. Ce mélange de douceur et de douleur met en lumière la complexité des relations humaines et le besoin inébranlable d’amour.
