Martin Newell // Living with Victoria Grey (Live Kitchen Performance)

[@sirhenners204]

The man is a genius. If you can write songs that sound great with lots of production and with basically no production whatsoever, you know you're doing it right

[@JoeNormal]

amen to that

I lived in Wivenhoe back in my university years. I wonder whether I passed by this legend unknowingly. A beautiful town and an incredible musician.

[@garypearson6954]

Wonderful Martin. Total justice to one of your best songs. As relevant now as ever!

[@saaukinfo]

Spotify turned me onto the Cleaners...I will be eternally grateful. Awesome songsmith

[@mordaciousfilms]

Timeless, ageless. Thank you. Martin and CLEANERS is a goldmine of incredible music, such an inspiration.

Martin Newell X Robert Pollard ----- The collaboration of the century

[@McDoinky]

They’re parallels

[@concars1234]

If that would ever happen it would be surrealistic

[@markskinner64]

Don’t forget Nick Saloman

I LOVE U MARTIN

[@federicovincent8996]

Genio!

Has anyone got a chord sheet for this?

[@speedandglue_]

still rocks

[@cainesdds]

What a tune! Lovely melody and delivery. Say Martin is this in entirely standard tuning?

[@no_real_names7156]

I'm not Martin but I can tell you it's in EADGAE - playing in that tuning unlocks a few of his songs.

[@liam1877]

@@no_real_names7156 do you know how to play this? Tuned to EADGAE just trying to crack the bloody chords😂 brilliant bit of pop

[@no_real_names7156]

@@liam1877 For sure! the chords are: Verse = A F#m D F C Esus4 E "Save it up" = Bm G x2 then back to verse chords Shapes are the usual, but just leave the 2 high strings open. Hope that helps!

[@liam1877]

@@no_real_names7156 thanks mate! I think I’ve got it bar the shape for the D Martin is doing. I’ve been doing the standard D but it doesn’t keep the high strings open. Any pointers?😂 thanks again for the chords!

[@no_real_names7156]

@@liam1877 No problem! I play the D as x00200, so basically all the strings open except the 2nd fret on the G string. That was the trickiest chord for me to figure out.

holy shit

Living with Theresa May!!

[@newwavepop]

so i have always wondered is Victoria Grey just a name in the song, or is that some historical figure or fictional figure from a novel or something?

[@fullmoon808]

it’s supposed to be about margaret thatcher i believe

[@silentmoonlessnight6716]

@@fullmoon808 spot on

[@16tons64]

I always thought it was about Queen Victoria...
