ATP! Acoustic Session: Tigers Jaw - "Spirit Desire"

[@etherealnoire]

His voice sounds like he could crumble to pieces at any second. And that's why he's one of my favorites.

[@Dreweyy3]

my hobbies include: crying to tigers jaw

[@justinwoodward636]

samez. I fuckin miss her

[@osiris.the.pharaoh]

What does it matter if he can sing or not? or how he sings it? when you make something like a song or a drawing or anything it comes from you and it's a fragment of you so leave it alone. enjoy it, don't try to destroy it.

[@1120music]

Nahir Batista who the hell says he can’t sing?

[@andrewharlacher3414]

Same type of people to hate on Bob Dylan

[@WELMvoxandsynth]

Anything from the heart is absolutely beautiful

[@lindboknifeandtool]

I prefer voices like his to “good” singers. This is real, and you can more easily know how he’s feeling imo

[@wouldntulyketoknow]

He is a GREAT singer.

[@collincarter1564]

Cant be the only who started with wicca phase springs eternal, and finally listened to tiger jaw a few years later. Very cool

[@JetBlack623]

I've loved Tigers Jaw since I was 16. I'm 21 now and this video has a whole new meaning to me. I've always thought my older brother looked and acted like Adam with his slim build and awkward mannerisms. He committed suicide roughly two months ago, and I can't help thinking about him watching these Acoustic Sessions.

[@DespondDesigns]

Hey. I hope you’re making it through. 💜

[@xavierfigueroa7949]

sorry for your loss

[@trentlivgard1606]

Man, I love my brother so much. I hope you can feel okay one day. Sending love bro

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Hard out there for a gangly sensitive boy I tell ya hwat.

[@lindboknifeandtool]

I always come back to appreciate this video. Wish he never left

WICCA PHASE SPRINGS ETERNAL

[@techniqueGMOD]

+Josue Velazquez I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS WICCA PHASE UNTIL I WATCHED HIM LIVE HAHAHA

[@AlexSuperTramp-]

holy shit I love wicca phase and didn't know why cuz I don't rly listen to music like that usually. Thanks spotify.

[@asafoetidajones8181]

Adam Mcilwee is Not WPSE. Check their pupils. The dates don't line up. Don't believe the media lies

[@jessesharp5733]

Wish he never left tg. This is hands down my favorite recording of this song.

[@davidkless9131]

Love his voice. Voice from man who has experienced pain

[@vpapapa]

I’ll never stop coming back to this

[@crowdeater5953]

lovezombie remember when he said he’d never leave tiger jaw :(

[@Atoriyagami12]

I still hear this song and think of you

[@michaelspoto8720]

thank you. it's nice to know someone is.

[@naught_]

Tuning is a full step down. All chords are in the second fret First chord is E, G, and B strings on the second fret. Second is E and G strings Third is an A chord so D, G, and B Last chord is D and G Strumming pattern is down, up down up, down, up down up Add a slight pause between strums where there are commas

[@h-di4qd]

how nice of you :)

[@lofigirl97rawrxd3]

Slightly wrong! Firstly, I recommend playing this a half step down. Secondly, the first and second chords are correct you have written. But the third chord is just the D and G strings. Fourth chord is just a standard E chord.

[@h-di4qd]

@@lofigirl97rawrxd3 the 4th chord doesn't sound like a full E. maybe just the D and G strings of that chord?

[@prod.slitface]

@@h-di4qdi’ll just write tabs, i figured it out i think Tuning - D# G# C# F# A# D# (i just wrote out E standard on tabs to cause less confusion) e - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 B - 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 G - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 D - 0 - 0 - 2 - 2 A - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 E - 2 - 2 - 0 - 0 strumming pattern down, up down up, down, up down up,

I'm pretty sure it's Ben haha

[@chvrchsewell2594]

years later, still feels new when I talk to you...

[@СергейМалышев-ц5п]

amazing vocal

[@DerekBoughter]

Why does it matter what his voice sounds like? The voice is what makes it unique. And it's more about the lyrics rather than how good he can sing.

[@Hiimabearviking]

doesn't get better than this

[@monirodriguez2541]

I love this song, its really help me in 2020

[@Ari-rx9sx]

probably gonna play this at my wedding

[@JohnnyOutlaw100]

Now that he's left I wonder if they'll ever perform this song again, it's just so emotional when he sings it, hearing Ben sing it will be weird to me. Not bad, but weird.

we know all their voices are brutal, but they all oddly mesh well... its unexplainable, but any tigers jaw fan knows there is just something special about their music.

Do it

[Verse 1] Waiting for the sun but I know that it'll come I feel reborn when you touch my arm Whole new view, feels better when I talk to you I get scared with what I wear Even when you yell, I still love your belly It's true, it's true Riding it through the night Straight through [Verse 2] It still feels new when I talk to you I feel reborn when the sun gets warm It's hard but I feel better when I'm not inside I get scared you'll leave me soon Even though we call each other every afternoon It's true, it's true It took a little time but I, but I know you [Chorus] I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call [Verse 3] I used to want to show you every single line Now it's hard for me to show you anything I write I know that I get nervous when we're not alone But I wait for you for hours when you're coming home When we started talking, I got so excited And I swear I tried to go out every single night I know that you will always be the one who's my... [Chorus 2] Spirit desire Spend my time Tell me that you're always going to be my life (I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call) Spirit desire Spend my time Tell me that you're always going to be my life (I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call) Spirit desire Spend my time Tell me that you're always going to be my life (I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call) Spirit desire Spend my time [Outro] I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call I'm not bored at all You can call me when you want to call

2 chord songs are the best

No, he's doing a witch house parody project now. And yeah, back to what you were saying before, it sounds like he COULD be forcing it, but not necessarily.

His fingers on the low E the G and the B the song stays on the second fret the whole song. He transfers his fingers from the E, D, and B to just E and G. Then he plays an A chord: DGB Then he takes his finger off of the B. That's the whole song!!

What tuning is this song in? I've been trying to learn it on acoustic for weeks now in standard tuning but I just can't figure out the chord change when he sings "I'm not bored at all, you can call me when you wanna call." Also haven't quite got the main chord progression but I find the chorus particularly difficult. Fellow guitarists and TJ + emo/punk fans please help! :)
