When I go outside, I always listen to my play list with songs that I (want to) practice.
At the supermarket, suddenly this track played, and it made me almost faint!
It was the last track that a good friend from Ukraine played and posted, before he died:
The lyrics, âLiving in doom townâ, haunt me, as he told me about his life in Kyiv, the constant shelling, the friends he lost in the trenches, his hunger for life, the âSturm and Drangâ of his age ⌠and the loss of love in times of war.
I âhearâ his voice in this song, and it makes me quite sad, that such special person, who was shy and introverted, intelligent and reflected and most of all sensitive and poetic, is no more cause of some senseless, brutal and barbaric war and everything that came with itâŚ

If that is who I think it is (pretty sure I recognize that T-Bird of his), then he posted here. Very sad to hear that he didnât make it.

Yes, itâs @Alex_B !
I âmetâ him via the internet, when I was looking for tabs for âPretty Songsâ by Bob Vylan.
We got into contact, he transcribed some songs for me, and after some back & forth we became friends, cause of music ⌠but most of all his views on life, many of them I shared ⌠some of them I could not follow.
Itâs âeasyâ to have opinions when you are in safe Hamburg ⌠itâs different when you are affected by war and donât know if there is a tomorrow for you, your girlfriend, family and friends.
For some, there was none 
I brought him here and I wish he would have been more active at BB. But for him âourâ stuff was quite trivial, compared with what was going on in his life.
He lost himself in music, the only way he could escapeâŚ
He is the first and most important person I have met through bass, so this gives it a little more sense for me.
I tried to learn both âPretty Songsâ and âDoom Townâ to make tribute covers to him, but they are f#cking fast and need to be played with a f#cking pick. I wish we had met over âWith or Without Youâ or something like thatâŚ
So at least he has the last laugh

I had the opportunity to chat with him about another one of his tab / cover videos. That was the only interaction that I had with him but he seemed like a really nice person. Iâm going to have to dust that song off again and finally record it for him. The song itself seems like a fitting tribute.

Great, really!!!
He also told me about another conversation with you - he quite digged your taste. I remember he (or you?) talked about the album of The High Confessions:
Also, very cool!
EDIT @faydout - This are his tabs for âIn a lonely placeâ
Joy Division â In a Lonely Place.pdf (79.5 KB)

Awesome, thank you. Do you happen to still have access to the gp that you can shoot me a copy of? I donât have access to the Drive that has everything.

Thatâs right, I also remember chatting about A Place to Bury Strangers with him. The cover is on itâs way. Itâs much easier to play now vs. when I tried to do it last summer. Amazing what a little practice and time with strings under fingers does.

I can never get too much of the ninth!
Very sad to hear this @Whying_Dutchman. And it can definitely be a shocker when certain songs transport you somewhere and bring back meaningful memories.

Do you know how to tell when youâve had too much Beethoven?
No. No, you donât.
Know why? Because no one knows. Because itâs impossible to have too much Beethoven.
Yeah, I know itâs not Friday. Donât care. Enjoy Herr Ludwigâs 7th.
P.S. â Much hay is made by some in classical music circles that Mozart was far more prolific than Beethoven, and that Ludwig only wrote nine symphonies to Mozartâs 41. No disrespect to Mr. Mozartâhe was also a masterâbut thatâs because Beethoven only needed nine.
