manfred Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi, I'm looking for the name of a song. I'm not entirely sure that it's Wilco - in fact, it's probably not. But it should be some of the related artist: Jeff Tweedy/Billy Bradd or maybe Uncle Tupelo. The song goes in about 92 beats per minute, and the chord progression is: |E A |B | and so forth.(Two beats on E & A, and four beats on B ). However, I'm not sure that the song goes in E-major, it could be transposed. It would be awesome if you could help me, folks! // Gurra Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 So it's a I-IV-V chord progression, probably the most used in rock and roll. Without some lyrical bits or more info this one is gonna be hard to figure out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hmm.. That's a toughy. I can't think of a single Wilco song (not sure about Billy Bragg or UT) that has a progression like that. I'm probably way off but the two beats on two chords then four beats on one chord reminds me of "She's A Jar".. Although it's |G Bm | C | Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manfred Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 It's pretty unknown. I'm a huge Wilco-fan, and unless it's not a super-unusual-hidden-away B-side, it's another artist. But THAT chord progression, in that BPM, is not that common. It's a pretty slow song, 92 bpm. Much like "I hope I don't fall in love with you" with Tom Waits. Hmm.. That's a toughy. I can't think of a single Wilco song (not sure about Billy Bragg or UT) that has a progression like that. I'm probably way off but the two beats on two chords then four beats on one chord reminds me of "She's A Jar".. Although it's |G Bm | C | Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manfred Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Who's "Billy Bradd"? In my eternal state of stress and rush, I made the mistake of typing two "D"'s instead of two "G"'s. I of course meant Billy Bragg, but I can see how this increadibly huge difference would confuse you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Is this the Witch Song you're looking for?(the photos used are from the innernet) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggONd30ofRI I think this was a W(TA) outtake. Not really sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monster Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 "Someday Soon" has that chord progression.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 When in doubt, take your ears over to iTunes and listen to the 30 second samples of Wilco, Billy Bragg, and Uncle Tupelo. It may be a bit tedious but you don't have to listen to the whole 30 seconds either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

manfred Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 when the roses bloom again? Thanks for your suggestions, but the song actually sounds A LOT like "I hope that I don't fall in love you". But I'm sure it's not that. The reason I'm asking is, a couple of years ago, I wrote and recorded a song that I remember almost was a rip off from the song I'm looking for. And it's eating me up that I can't find the original. On the other hand, maybe I'm just making it up in my head... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
