Trivia
donacidae: "I've transcribed "Reach For The Dead" so you can all enjoy playing on the piano / guitar / whatever. Quick analysis. Clearly part of the vibe of this song comes from how slow the chords move - they're so minimal yet powerful and last 12 bars in all, and I just love that change from Bmajor to F minor. http://bit.ly/12zkS0g" [3]
