Wonderful Tonight

I watched a live show last night in a cafe. This song was stuck in my head ever since...
Found some nice covers on YouTube as the recording at the cafe wasn't that clear.

Absolutely love her voice. It is thick and powerful. Perfectly evoked the emotions of the song!

Fingerstyling play of the song. It was almost like Eric Clapton's version, but much more detailed. And the technique used!! Totally inspired me to learn this tab!

~Gosh, I have so many plucking songs that I learned halfway and jumped to the next song! And I can only play a handful of songs without referring to the tabs! I am such a bad guitarist!

Ryanne said...: I take that you are an accomplished guitarist yourself?

Haha... I sure hope that practice will make perfect! I am just always attracted to new songs and leave the old ones halfway learned or simply undone~ ^^; January 11, 2010 at 2:15 AM

Inspiration Within

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
