I think the chords in that version are as follows (note: it takes out the bridge before the final chorus):
verse:
A G A G F E
pre chorus:
F G (repeated twice before second chorus)
chorus:
C G A F
pretty simple. i hope that you are taylor swift and that you want to do a cover of this song.
Thank you for your question, and it means a lot to me that those songs mean something to you. It is possible that one of the main purposes for creation is for some human interaction/connection and I value that. The songs from Fleurs actually have a lot to do with my life but with a specific time in my life. Whether or not I will ever play those songs live again - I don’t know, I honestly can’t say. We played quite a few of them on the last Former Ghosts tour. The fact is also that the meaning of songs change for me over time- and I usually find them to be about myself in the end anyways. I have put work as Former Ghosts aside indefinitely for now. I also have no future plans to tour at the moment. I’m not interested in it. I think we often wish, and even expect, musicians to drag out the same songs, set lists, and even the same sounds and approach to “song writing” over and over again while this feeling doesn’t necessarily transfer to other art forms. I think that created things should capture specific moments - therefore, I also understand and am aware that certain things will only relate to certain people and also usually only at certain times in their life. I don’t have an interest in standing in the same place forever while admitting that similar themes have ran through whatever it is that I am doing.
I also personally can’t get into anything after Last Rights. But to each their own.
For LP’s, order directly from Upset the Rhythm.
They should have Fleurs and New Love both in stock on LP

T-shirts are all gone but there were quite a few different designs. They pop up on Ebay occasionally.
I am definitely homesick. Mainly for friends, Mexican food, and warm weather. But I think anyone moving anywhere away from home, to a location that is drastically different from their home, will feel homesick. Love, real love, and courage when faced with it, is the most important thing.
Depends if you are interested in something more melodic or something more abstract. Melodic: Tri Repetae Abstract: LP5. My personal favorite: Untitled.
Yes, I often look back on things I have done and feel embarrassed. However, I think this is a common feeling among most people who are creating something. In a way, it helps to push you forward and into new directions. And yes, sometimes I wish I didn’t say something in a song or later even feel like the lyrics were just plain bad. But, if you are singing about personal experience without abstracting it, and not doing “story telling” song writing, and later you feel embarrassed you were being a drama queen, I think it is important to remember and realize that it was a snapshot of that particular time and something that you really felt and expressed no matter how embarrassed you may feel now about the way you expressed it. Recently however, I feel more interested in expressing and practicing restraint.
I was recently asked to do a podcast for the Mundo Urbano blog. It has been posted here:

I’m not exactly sure how to answer this. I think that everything kind of has it’s own place and taste among people differ widely. But usually what I admire is not what is often considered someone’s technical prowess. I don’t often care about this kind of thing. I care about if what is being done is real and if the person is really putting themselves into what they are doing. I admire things that are honest and not acted. I admire people that are also open and available. I don’t like walls between an artist and the audience.
