Gretchen Parlato and Alan Hampton - Still

[@billbernhard3582]

An ultimately hopeful lyric here ! Things get lost, and some of them miraculously are also found again !

[@ShonTolliverMusic]

Derrick Hodge, Gretchen Partlow, Kendrick Scott,and Robert Glasper have basically saved my life. Now add Alan Hampton and life has now been resurrected in me.

[@Rorschach120]

This song is in 11/8. Count it 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 1-2-3. The chords go (all with the root on the 6th string and open 2nd string) Emaj(2beats) -G#min7(2bts) -Amaj7(2bts) - G#min7(4 bts) then the little hammer-on lick into E for the main part, you'll have to get that yourself. The way it carries over there is pretty tricky. The little B section I'm not sure if I have exactly but I've been playing it Amaj7 - C#min7 - E7 - Dmaj7 then C#min7-C7-Bmin7-Bb7 (not exactly sure that's right but it sounds OK)

[@pierce_allen]

Hey! Seven years too late but a friend just turned me onto the tune. You're really close in the bridge! Its F#- Amaj C#-7 A-7(13) then B-7(11) Bb-7b5 A-7 G#7b13. You can watch his hands do the shapes around 0:44 . Cheers!

[@meeyan4345]

You have no idea how many musicians you saved

[@RobbeSchattenfurcht]

I would say the bridge goes F#m7 Amaj7 C#m7 A-6 Bm11 Bbm7(b5) A-7 Eadd9/G# but that might just be technicalities :D

[@SiLevesque]

Thanks for this, I have always felt this piece has 2 2 2 3 2. After many year I just listened to the whole album yesterday, so many beautiful pieces!

[@JamesOKlippel]

How they manage to make 11/8 sound so natural is just ... so cool to me.

[@nathanbossoh]

My gosh this is such a tune! I cant stop listening to it!!

[@pearly1soames]

I'm a confirmed Gretchen/Alan fan. first saw them 4 yrs ago at a Jazz Underground free performance and was blown away by this tune!!!

[@producedbykaeph]

2021 still jammin this

[@siddcoutto]

this is the best song I've heard all year, at the very least. It's been playing in my head constantly since I first heard it 2 days ago,

[@Lonilonnette]

i absolutely love this song..............love it so much

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@garbaor Probably one of the most musical odd meter songs I have ever heard. This 11/8 is so musical that it doesn't sound odd!! Respect to all the musicians and vocalist involved with this project. Awesome album!

[@GypsyNFla]

Where is the "love" button. Gorgeous!

[@meeyan4345]

even if you said goodbye even if a dream may die even when my life is through no matter what you say or do even if it makes me cry even if i don't know why even when things fall apart even if you break my heart even when i feel alone even if i had no home til my fears have gone away let it go and come what may through my joy and through my pain like the sun that follows rain no beginning and no end love, so love comes back again

[@31Stopo5]

have just discovered Gretchen and I am in love!! she is amazing!!

[@devoshion]

beautiful song and talented musicians, nice to see there's still some good music out there...

[@pashminagal]

I LOVE this song! I heard it at a concert and you are right GP, it changed my life! There are few songs that move me, but this one does!

[@db1815]

Lovely vibe from this tune sounds so peaceful and cheerful

[@TonyLiam37]

1:32 Who's playing the ride? 1:38 ....oh. Alan's got it.

[@BeYourselfBeautiful]

it's hard to maintain that openness through all the situations described in this song . . . but worth it

[@lifesclassroom]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song. It's so pretty and therapeutic. "Like the sun that follows rain, I still love."

[@masegom4205]

❤

[@Rorschach120]

K I got the bridge... They actually show him playing it at 0:45 and I didn't realize haha. Its F#min7- Amj7 - C#min7 - Bmin7 then Bmin11- Bbm7(b5)-Amin7- Abm7/E (I'm sure there's a better name for that chord that I don't know) Hope this helped someone, cheers. This song kicks ass.

[@anthonymanker9534]

Thank you for this. Spent an hour figuring it out before I read the comments. LOL

[@qst4]

You sleepin' if you ain't on this!

[@LaCrisArts]

¡Tremendos!

[@romeljuba8333]

Can anyone cover this song? That'd be phenomenal.

[@Mee101]

Life to a tee...#thedailygrind #pushthru 💖💔💖😢😔😊☺

[@MinuitSoleilYT]

Big up!! On aime!

[@MsTahila]

God moves!!!

[@thedng]

it alternates between 6/8 and 4/4...to go beyond the technicalities of time sig notation, it starts with a phrase of 6 bts then a phrase of 8 bts, back to 6..alternating (: hope this helps...its amazing how they make such "odd" meters (its only odd if you don't hear it enough isn't it) sound so natural. This 11/8 sounds so seamless one doesn't even feel the oddness till one counts.

[@Fsdrak]

In my opinion 1st chord is E, 2nd is Abm7, 3rd is Amaj9. On the way back he adds there a F#m7(or 11 sounds even better) and ends up back on E. He's using open ringing chords, to make fuller harmony, and adds #5 (high E string) to the Abm7 chord. But I can be wrong...

[@Fsdrak]

Does anybody have an idea what time signature this is in ? Anyways loving this tune !

[@CaronAplus]

@vanishag1 .... me too.. it sounds so good in the car.. love it

[@derricksax]

@ben4792 You didn't piss me off, I just disagree with what you're calling an eleven beat cycle...I am hearing an eighth note cycle that works out at 2+2+2+2+3 underneath of the groove. If you're listening to the bigger beat in the way I am, the quarter note is approx =110, so to my ear the "11 beat cycle" is undeniably ending between two bigger beats-take note that the melodic phrases are each starting off in eighth notes, not quarters.

[@getupanddosomething]

@RionaSallyHartman I think they're actually just putting the same amount of space between every clap, but because of the odd meter it alternates between up and down beats.

[@ChrissyGurrola]

Can any of you help me with the meter for her cover of "Butterfly"? I happily see discussion on the time sig. here, but not on "butterfly"

[@bkloppt]

Superb Song! Bravo. (The Base+Bass sound very muddy. don't you think? fix the mix?)

[@FedericoLuongo]

Is in 11/8...;))

[@ben4792]

@derricksax Actually.. to be accurate... it's 11/4 =] if you've noticed there's a natural beat going in the song and it's a cycle of 11 beats... if the cycle ended between two beats it would've been called 11/8 hope I didn't piss you off lol =]

[@emiliobertoli]

isn't it in 5/4?

[@VesselGG]

What is he saying at the end?

[@kamo4845]

ずっと探してた やっと見つけた

[@kamo4845]

この歌をテーマに部活で絵を書いたことがあった。部室に行ったらまだあるかな。

[@jeronimoringo]

its 6/4 the whole time

[@WackyPick]

chords 2nd and 3rd chords are aug? or m7?

[@Carlo24515]

Yeah Alan, why you trippin'?

[@derricksax]

@Fsdrak this song is in 11/8

[@Freakazojd]

@GuitarGospelKeys1 Yes, please ignore traanncce2, it IS in 11/8. :)

[@GrantGreen791]

I still have trouble playing it. I have to notate it or something...visual aids always help.

[@thebigbody]

the band geek in me was trying to figure out this time signature but I can't... But I love this!

[@kennethmcdonaldsr7444]

Whats the Time Sig for this song

[@ethanslegoguns1010]

11.....bar of 6 bar of 5

[@kennethmcdonaldsr7444]

Thank you very much for your feedback I appreciate it

[@llamapenNHL]

Kenneth McDonald I count it 4+4+3.

[@marciogarciamusic]

@derricksax agreed

[@thedng]

it alternates in 4s and 3s (: generally, that's most of it.

[@Grandtenore]

So...was the meter kickin' anyone else's ass? LOL...finally figured it out 4/4+3/8.

[@ChrisCatton]

Not keen on her voice, but man he can sing!

[@loukasami]

for your ast chord, call it Emaj9

[@traanncce2]

my bad

[@traanncce2]

@GuitarGospelKeys1 13/8 :)

[@Sredna1964]

6+5

[@jrmaal]

@jmensticks Sorry?

[@pattybassist01]

11/8, 11/4, that is a matter of opinion. Harmonies are easy to pick out, what I want to know is the finger picking pattern he is using

[@BobbyBoushesRepository]

Robert Glasper is goofy lol

[@Sredna1964]

2+2+2 + 2+3 Gotta feel it, if just reading you gonna get lost somewhere. Practice clapping (like in the video) different subdivisions of the groove: 6/8 = 2+2+2 or 3+3, 5/8 = 3+2 or 2+3
