(Like really its ridiculous, pretty much all of them...) But when/where can I get the guitar tabs for this song? Playing Coulton on guitar is the best thing a person can do because it makes him or her feel good about themself and it also makes he or she more liked. Also it helps spread Coulton to all the idiots that haven't heard of him yet. (I used that accurately, I was an idiot before I heard of him and I still am an idiot so its fair.) In fact I'll feel really dumb if the tabs are already up but its well worth looking dumb, I really like this song.

When I first heard this song my brain was going "what are these chords, and how the heck does he get them to all fit together so nicely?" Anything that twiggles my musical geekery button is a good thing.

Love for many is so elusive, falling stars that crush so many hearts. So many levels of love - some driven by money, some by sex, by necessity, and true love, whereas mine lays at the top, on one leg...clumsy and with a heart of glass. For some it's "a crush." But when it's happening to you, it's more of "a crash." Ironically enough this is a description of some people’s lives who work so much and never have time to get out into the real world.

This may not be the proper forum in which to discuss the idea, but the premise, as far as I see it is 'Ultimate genius leads to total isolation.' The plot, naturally, isn't ironed out, but it ends with you sitting in your moon base, singing to yourself about how your creative intrepidity has only led to you feeling a little alone inside -the song "Better" takes on a whole new meaning when it's sung to yourself.
