Marika Hackman - Before I Sleep (acoustic)

[@jeff13garland]

forever shaken and moved by this artist. prolific and profound, her work is so grossly under-rated it's a crime and a shame. i saw her perform twice this year and am a loyal and faithful fan from now on.

[@carmensolt9184]

I've written out a tab for those like me who were tortured by the weird tuning but were nonetheless strongly compelled to play this. it's on ultimate guitar if you want to play along!

[@MiguelAngel-vy4ul]

thankssss

On a rainy cold day, her music and a cup of tea is all I need. Cheers from Brazil!

[@ThiagoHenrique-wh7qr]

Nice to know that there's more people here (in our country) that appreciate her.

Essa fase trevosa e folk da Marika é perfeira

[@Goltek]

the voice is amazing, but even more so the composition of the music. seriously fantastic. Great vibes.

[@SachinBhatnagar]

I discovered this song through Blacklist Season 4, the Isabella Stone episode. It added so much power to that sequence where Isabella is kidnapped. This song is magical.

Just getting there myself

The most beautiful event to ever occur.

Jeff Schultz I couldn't agree more.

[@danielbrown1724]

Good lord this live version is damn near identical to the studio version How many artists can you say that about!!?

"I forsee this ending in a shower on flames" Best part of the whole album GOOSEBUMPS

[@brendansullivan6934]

I dont play it exactly correct but here are the chords used. You'll have to watch her video to get the order down. (Only 2 fingers used at any time, only on 1st and 4th strings, other notes are open strings. The 2 fingers used will either be on the same fret or 4th string will be 1 fret up in every chord) Tuning - DGDFGD chords used, in the order they appear in the song: chord 1 - 1st and 4th strings on 5th fret (for the intro/pre-verse part I use open 1st string, then thumb over 3rd fret, back to 5th fret) chord 2 - 1st string on 3rd fret, 4th string on 4th fret chord 3 - 1st string on 5th fret, 4th string on 6th fret chord 4 - 1st and 4th string on 12th fret chord 5 - 1st string on 10th fret, 4th string on 11th fret chord 6 - 1st string on 1st fret, 4th string on 2nd fret chord 7 (passing chord) - 1st string on 4th fret, 4th string on 4th fret chord 8 - 1st string on 8th fret, 4th string on 9th fret chord 9 - 1st string on 7th fret, 4th string on 7th fret

[@ulbss8892]

the chords are correct but i would correct some of your strings, if you dont mind: Tuning - DGDFGD chords used, in the order they appear in the song: chord 1 - 1st, 4th and 5th strings on 5th fret (for the intro/pre-verse part I use open 1st string, then thumb over 3rd fret, back to 5th fret) chord 2 - 1st string on 3rd fret, 4th and 5th string on 4th fret chord 3 - 1st string on 5th fret, 4th and 5th string on 6th fret chord 4 - 1st, 3rd, 4th string on 12th fret chord 5 - 1st string on 10th fret, 4th and 5th string on 11th fret chord 6 - 1st string on 1st fret, 4th and 5th string on 2nd fret chord 7 (passing chord) - 1st string on 4th fret, 4th and 5th string on 4th fret chord 8 - 1st string on 8th fret, 4th and 5th string on 9th fret chord 9 - 1st string on 7th fret, 4th and 5th string on 7th fret Also, the picking pattern is 1st string, 5th string, 4th string, 3rd string, 5th string, 4th string, and then it repeats.

[@Mozzarella-and-Tomato]

I hope one day she will bless Norway with her live music❤

[@kamehamehaaaWTF]

I always come back and watch some of her sessions. This version is just amazing!

[@elenavasileva3380]

I'm fascinated. Please, give us a new masterpiece!!!!!!! Russia loves you!

[@kc42291]

Wow - what a stunning voice; something about it reminds me so much of Sibylle Baier.

[@koolkatkimina]

this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard

[@andrewnicolai6251]

I've been waiting for this for my entire life. Superb.

[@ooglemonster]

Burning, the roads through my mind are on fire For the light you shed was blinding A rabbit, caught in your glow, I am frozen In the yielding tar, sticky and golden I foresee this ending in a shower of flame So drink your holy water soon And I'll wash my loving hands I'm through For I am of the sun And this night is getting on When the dawn breaks warm I'm gone Standing, at the edge of your forest, I'm standing And the milky bed reminds me of the miles I have yet to tread And the heart-stained sheets I used to wrap around my waist Well I hope you find the peace you seek And wake me up in five, six weeks For we exist at night And a silent strip of light Unfurls against the mountain side

[@mariahbusby2962]

You've become my favorite artist... simply mesmerizing. Your voice is like a time machine.

[@josephd7267]

Her fingerpicking is insane. Not an easy song!

[@dirkvantroyen9170]

This song is one of my select all time favourites. Cheers from Belgium!

[@essharris117]

Her voice and guitar playing in this video calm my soul down, which I thought was impossible

[@theripenedheart]

exactly.

[@aspassiaman9081]

respect from Greece Marika, I feel like hypnotised

[@millikeith]

hard to beat this, honestly

[@MrSArakelow]

She's on the right track with a long way to go, but that's the best thing about being young. One has lots of time to develop one's talents & demonstrate to the world that one is worth viewing & listening to.

[@carladivas260]

Que hermosa composición

[@nonojar1]

This is a wonderful version of an amazing song. The traffic noises in the background are quite weird, because they work against the etheral vibe of the song. Reminds me of "Jeremy" (Pearl Jam) and "It Makes Me Wonder" (Suzanne Vega).

Fucking great.. Big fan of Mark Eitzel , Mr. Drake and so on. So much affected spineless indie this gets us somewhere. So gorgeous too, and I feel bad to say it only to say, or partly, as as a dad , to realize that your business is one of thieves pure and simple.. You might be worth money.... to them.

She actually collaborated with Alt-J in their song "Warm Foothills"

I wish if could someone do a guitar tutorial of this song :( i want to sing it so badly .

[@mattboscan]

Anyone know what tuning this is in? low end D sure.

+Matthew Dixon D G D F G D

[@mattboscan]

Thanks! Now I've just got to get my finger picking up to speed! Got tickets to see her at Union Chapel in Nov. Very much looking forward to it.

[@ninaoyens300]

+Matthew Dixon it's not hard, i'm sure you'll get it right. I wish I could go and see her perform! She's the best, enjoy!

[@Dotzey100]

+Nina Oyens anyone know the picking pattern ?

[@ninaoyens300]

+Laura Dineen yeah, it's basically strings 6, 4, 3, 2, 4, 3 in that order through the whole song. She changes the pattern sometimes but if you watch the video in slow motion it's easier to get it right.
