“Indecision” by Steven Page – Chords & How to Play

“Indecision”
Steven Page & Stephen Duffy

Riff: G F C D (x4)

Gm C
I’ve always been a creature of habit,
Am D Gm
But another way I’m addicted to you.
I’m predisposed to have it,
Happiest when I don’t know what to do.
I wanna settle down like my father;
I wanna run away like my mother ought to.

G F C D
Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.

Riff (x4)

I was born between the tracks.
I left home, I turned around and came back.
One day you and I will be intertwined,
If I can only make up my mind.

Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.

Riff (x2)

Eb F G
Leave decisions up to fate
Eb F D
Nothing comes to those who wait

Come see the view from on top of the fence.
We’ll watch the world unfold its events.
Some days when I am nearly awake,
I can almost hear the decisions I’ll make.

Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.
Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.

Riff (x2)

End on G

“All I Have To Be” (Acoustic Guitar Music)

By Jeff Copperthite:

Back for another installment of “Original Wednesday” is a tune that I haven’t written, but I have a lot of experience with.

This song is by my bandmate Scott Poglitsch (of Quilt, as read about on Fusco-Moore Productions). It is a very upbeat and positive song that I like to play a lot. It has a catchy chord progression that I instantly liked when I first heard it.

I did this one on Windows Movie Maker, complete with a web page splash and title effects. Too bad the program couldn’t improve my singing voice 🙂

Enjoy this one please. I hope to do another cover Friday.

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up.  We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session.  We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and original music blog again in the future.  But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!

“Let’s Spend the Night Together” (Rolling Stones Cover)

By Jim Fusco:

Welcome, everyone, to another edition of the Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!  Tonight, I present my first acoustic cover song music video as a member of the YouTube million-view club!  Well, I don’t know if there actually is such a club for YouTube channels that have over a million unique video views, but if there is, I’m glad to now be a part of it!  I honestly believe the second million is going to happen ten times faster than the first and I can only hope that number goes astronomically higher from there!  I want to issue a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the Laptop Sessions acoustic cover songs series over the years and I hope you’ll stay with me now and in the future!

Let’s get to tonight’s music video:

Tonight, I bring you a solo acoustic live performance of The Rolling Stones’ classic song, “Let’s Spend the Night Together”.  It’s such a great song and is by far my favorite tune from the Stones.  You know, we haven’t done enough Rolling Stones cover songs over the years and this is my first step in rectifying that situation.  Honestly, when I look back on the days when we used to do a video every single day, it blows my mind that such immensely popular bands like the Stones weren’t covered more often.  Now, I’m only doing about 15 to 20 cover song videos a year, so it’s a coveted spot.  I take a long time to choose the songs I’m going to do, and I hope all of my regular viewers have noticed.  I want to choose songs that will have some staying power, but still remain true to my love of obscure (but still great) songs, too.

Today’s video, “Let’s Spend the Night Together”, is famous for a couple of reasons.  First, it was a big hit for the Rolling Stones in the mid-60s.  I love how the recorded version kind of has a party-like atmosphere.  You can tell the focus was on the energy of the song- not making sure every instrument or background vocal was done perfectly.  The second reason for it’s fame?  Well, the Rolling Stones also made a big splash when they came to America to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show.  They chose “Let’s Spend the Night Together” as the song they’d play for the show.  Well, the subject matter was a bit taboo for the time and Ed wanted them to change the lyrics of the song to “Let’s spend some time together.”  I shouldn’t even say, “wanted”- it was more like “forced”.  So, Mick Jagger went along with it, though he did roll his eyes at the camera when singing the line.

I bring “Let’s Spend the Night Together” to you with the original lyrics in tact, with my favorite line being, “We can have fun just groovin’ around.”  Let’s just say it took me a few takes to get that right, as the word “groovin'” really isn’t used anymore and I kept saying what people would normally say nowadays.  Anyway, I think this song was perfect for an acoustic cover version- I hope you agree!  I’ll be back in two weeks with another music video for you and hopefully some more updates to my new album, “Those Around Us”.  This week, I received the final masters of the music and secured Ben Quesnel to paint another album for me!  He painted the “Halfway There” album cover (amazing!), too.  See you next time!

Jim Fusco Reaches ONE MILLION YouTube Video Views!!

Here’s hoping the million arrives ten times faster!
