Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here is my attempt at Awful Sound from Reflektor. There's loads going on in this song and this is a basic acoustic version as I figured it. Hope you enjoy.

Aadd11 (ring)
D I was so disappointed Aadd11 You didn't want me D Oh, how could it be, Eurydice
I was standing beside you Aadd11 By a frozen sea D Will you ever get free?
Just take all your pain Aadd11 Just put it on me D So that you can breathe
When you fly away Aadd11 Will you hit the ground?
It's an awful sound
D I know there's a way A We can make 'em pay
Think it over and say
I'm never going back again D I know there's a way A We can leave today
Think it over and say
I'm never going back again
D, Aadd11
D Aadd11 You were born in the little town
Before the awful sound D Started coming down
There's so much inside you Aadd11 That you won't let me see
You fly away from me D But it's an awful sound
When you hit the ground Aadd11 It's an awful sound
When you hit the ground
D I know there's a way A We can make 'em pay
Think it over and say
I'm never going back again D I know there's a way A We can leave today
Think it over
D We know there's a price to pay A For love in the reflective age D I met you up upon a stage A Our love in a reflective age
