So a lovely group of designers over at how fucking romantic are putting together a visual representation of every one of the 69 love songs by the Magnetic Fields. Inspired by this, I decided to do one of my personal favourites from the album -

They're a closed team doing it. No submissions accepted, it seems. :(

Between this and your beautiful cover of 'all my little words', you have made me intrigued about the Magnetic Fields. Any recomendadtions before I dive in headfirst?

'always loved the sound of your strums' strumming on a guitar is my favourite sound in the world ?

Two things that I just noticed: a) it's “strum” singular in the line “she always loved the sound of your strums” and b) in the line “be a good guitar and you will go far, just bring me back my girl,” it's “can,” not “will.” I'm very particular, old chap.

Hey, I am a fan of yours, and I even have bought your first cd.
I think you could work on a new type of cd, trying to make an only instrumental cd.
It would be very good to see all your melodic capacity on it's own. I think it would help you improve even more your music, if you could focus only on the instruments.
Maybe you could work on 2 cd's in parallel, one with voice and instruments and another with a new approach, and only with instruments.
I think it would be great fun for you and also for us to see what you can do.

Best wishes,

TT

Erm, Sorry, but i don't think it is. it's “strums” because you don't strum a guitar once. therefore it would be “strums”. and it is “will”, because if you say can, it sounds like your giving it a choice, or it's a possibility, but this is definate, therefore “will”. Just thought I'd put my oppinions forward :)
