They apparently got three Spellemanspris (Norwegian Grammy) nominations. So, perhaps I shouldn't have called them small.

Still, pretty cool song.

Reposting this, as if you are going to listen to one new song today, why not one by a errr... smallish, relatively speaking, I hasten to add, Norwegian group. And it's a great song.

I've been listening to it anyway.

Im not really keen on jazz but, when I have listened to it I like it soft & quiet-ish, like at the beginning of that video, with that 'end of the night' feeling

Yeah, the start is pretty. Although it is that recurring riff in the second part that makes me really love it.

Btw, the title of the song, "Når Det Regne På Presten Dryp Det På Klokkarn", basically means "When it rains on the priest it drips on the bell-ringer".

tho it begs the question....."when it rains on the priest it drips on the bell ringer"....what is the priest doing ??

He's..... not sharing his umbrella or it's simply not big enough for two?

It's something we say when someone gains from other's fortune, good or bad.

Beautiful cover of W. Zevon's Mutineer

That's very pretty. Though I think I prefer Warren Zevons original melody. That's only a small quibble though.

Actually, I made a Mutineer cover too for that music stuff thread I made.

It's nothing special, but I thought perhaps you might find it funny as you're the one who introduced me to Warren Zevon.

What a nice little atmosphere song.

How could I ever miss that? Great job, blue, loved it! Simply wonderful. I think Don't let us get sick (also by WZ) would sound great with your guitar and voice (hint, hint.. )

Your version is too short, I keep having to click back to start it again

Well, it's a short song. Although I went back and checked, he does repeat the second verse after the third verse/bridge. And he also have the instrumental parts of course. Which makes the original a fair bit longer. I always loved the version he did on Letterman, that struck me as pretty close to perfection, but I kind of had to go with my own arrangement, as playing it like the original would have required a capo. So, it's a half note lower than the original. And he has a great juxtaposed movement with the bassline that I couldn't quite follow with the different chords, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Glad you liked it.

Hehe, well, I'll see what I can get around to. And it depends on how well it works and everything, but I can try to do some more covers at some point.

I'll listen to all of them with a happy pair of ears if you do

Very cutting-edge melodic choices.

It's great to see the younger generation breathing life into the old classics.
