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 -

    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

    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.

    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 :)

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