Falling Out Of Reach by Guillemots
Heard this gem of a song on the radio while taking a stroll in downtown Bonn. It's so unknown that there's only two videos on youtube on it (soon to be three:) Enjoy!
Falling Out Of Reach
Original Key: Bb (Capo 3)
Played in G# (Capo 1)
G C G C
Slow down, slow down
G C D
You'll only get burned out
G C G C
Calm down, calm down
G C D
You're getting so worn out
Bm D
They're trying to make you compromise
Bm C D
This fire burning in your eyes
G C
Darling, you're slowly drifting out of reach
G C
I'm slowly drifting out of reach
G C D
We're slowly drifting out of reach
G C
You're slowly falling out of reach
G C
I'm slowly falling out of reach
G C D
We're slowly falling out of reach
Out of reach
Bm Em
So home is just a word now
Bm D
You don't see it anymore
Bm Em
The child's eyes are vacant now
Bm D
The lights are just a glare
Bm Em
Music's gone and you're always wrong
Bm D
And there's people everywhere
Bm D
But darling, time will make amends
Bm C D
Just need a rest, just need your friends
They're slowly drifting out of reach
You're slowly drifting out of reach
We're slowly drifting out of reach
You're slowly falling out of reach
I'm slowly falling out of reach
We're slowly falling out of reach
My ‘Splash and Dash’ in Barcelona
I believe the launch event was a dream-come-true for all the e-reporter finalists. You really have to be a petrolhead to be able to appreciate the importance of being part of this special event. The chance to share the excitement of the GP2 Asia’s successful debut and to witness the launch of the new GP2 season and its brand-new Bridgestone-Dallara-Renault racecar. Of course, not failing to mention the honour of being unveiled as finalists of the very successful Bridgestone e-reporter competition and the opportunity to get up close and personal (well, almost) with the GP2 drivers and F1 superstars such as Mark Webber, Heikki Kovalainen and Lewis Hamilton.
All nine finalists were unveiled much like a beauty-pageant at the end of the event. As the host of the event called out our names one by one, we walked on to centre stage to stand proudly, posing together with the exciting-looking GP2 car. We were also requested to pose around a white GP2 car in front of a professional photographer. Bear in mind as well that this isn’t just any GP2 car but a car that has been “embellished” with the names of each and every Bridgestone e-reporter, past and present. Therefore, strutting around this 590-bhp machine took on a different significance.
However, for me personally, above all the glamour and attention, the most poignant moment came when it struck me just how great it is to be in the company of those who live and breath motorsports. Based on the enthusiastic conversations we were having all evening, it was definitely a night to remember. That was when I realized that the Bridgestone e-reporter competition is not just about searching for those who are talented in stringing a few words together. More than that, it is about the opportunity to congregate young, aspiring men and women across the globe who share the same “PASSION for EXCELLENCE”. And that for me is more than just any ‘Splash and Dash’. It is something that will be cherished for life. And the best part is, this is just the beginning…

By the way, the guitar that you've seen in the previous post (Complete) is a 2nd-hand Ibanez semi-acoustic guitar. It was really a good buy! 120 euros but in superb condition. Really enjoy using it. Think it'll stick with me for many a years!
