Youtube Indie Rock Acoustic Guitar Girls

I’m a harp fan. That’s why I hold Joanna Newsom so close to My heart. All My favorite oldies were written for Me on a harp. If I had to pick a second favorite instrument, it would be the recorder. Coming in third, the acoustic guitar…. an instrument that anybody can learn if they put the time and energy into it, and within months you can sound almost like you know what you’re doing.

Songs often point to Me. Singing and talking are not too different, when being created in the physical body. But in a spiritual sense, they are vastly different… and you know what I mean, because you’ve felt it too. There is something spiritual about singing, and I know this because I put it there. People often mistake “worship” as simply singing a song about Me, when in actuality, worshiping Me is a constant day to day possibility that is more a mindset that leads to action… verses singing Me a love song. However, I see why this is often confused, because singing IS definitely an easy way to worship Me, because humanity is so moved by song. Here are a few worship songs that have floated out onto the internet, by way of girls with acoustic guitars. They are all beautiful and they are all worshiping something. Listen closely, and you just might hear Me in the background.


The Decemberists – The Engine Driver


The Shins – Young Pilgrims




Wilco - I Am Trying To Break Your Heart


Radiohead – Karma Police




Bright Eyes – Lua



Neutral Milk Hotel - Two Headed Boy

Sufjan Stevens – Chicago

Elliott Smith – Between The Bars


Broken Social Scene – Major Label Debut


Arctic Monkeys – When The Sun Goes Down


Oasis – Stop Crying Yer Heart Out




Eisley – They All Surrounded Me




Feist – Mushaboom




Iron and Wine – Naked As We Came




Laura Veirs – Spelunking




Mazzy Star – Into Dust




Pixies – Where Is My Mind




The Smiths – Ask




The Verve – The Drugs Don’t Work


We Are Scientists – Can’t Lose




Antony and the Johnsons – You Are My Sister

  14. Brilliant post idea - absolutely.
    But it definitely falls into the category of "Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should"

    Indie Girls With Acoustic Guitars should inspire swooning & crushes. The majority of these girls inspire me to ask them to stop butchering these songs.

    Really, only the Shins girl is truly crush worthy out of this whole bunch.

    The Sufjan/BSS can actually sing, but she's not really that cute.

    The Smiths girl can sing & is cute (hence crushworthy) but she loses points for not playing guitar. Maybe she can, but just not that song?

    The rest of them? STFU, please.
    The Pixies girl? Is she even singing words??? Fucking awful.

    Praise be to Jesus.

    So is it completely shameless to pimp out my originals via this post?? All right All right...I get it..Can't sing, not cute, should have gone for the integrated tuner upgrade at Guitar center..Don't Bust my balls, huh? :-)
    Actually, doing covers in my little Hollywood apt. is typically the number one way I amuse myself on a Fri night when I'm in town, but writing is something I really do put a lot of time into...

    If anyone is even slightly interested in checking out my originals, I'd be most appreciative. Many Many Thanks in advance for taking the time :-)

  29. Contrary to what others have said this post is not about the girls looks, singing talent, guitar ability, or use of a webcam.

    This post only goes to show how extemely boring - with few exceptions - most of these songs are and without the help of orchestration/rock band ensemble they are not worth listening to.

    For example, The Shins cover, is well done. The guitar playing and singing are all relatively solid (Hell, the singing is probably better than those mid-20's yet some how still prepubesent boy/men). The problem is that you can't make it through the first chorus without getting bored.

    I attribute this to poor melody and lyrical writing on the part of the bands (in this case the Shins). It goes to show how a little orchestration can go along way to making a mediocre/boring song into solid song worth repeated listens.

    A for effort, F for indie.

    There's nothing more pop culture/mainstream America than desiring fame so much that you post yourself on youtube.

    You wanna be punk rock? Shoot dope, quit showering, and tattoo your face. That's hardcore (though it'll kill your talent). You all are just American Idol for the Decemberists set.

    Actually, that's not so bad. I just wanted to insult you. Thanks!

    Hello,

    The comments posted about GW Williams are part of a viral marketing campaign. This person has a home-made recording on Amazon.com . You can listen to samples and see why it's clear that they had to resort to this sort of thing.
    Reference to Eric Clapton, John Mayer or other prominent non-fictional guitarists seem to be drawing him in.
    Please feel free to delete this entry along with his.
    This seems like a nice place. It's too bad he's decided to invade it.
    We've been doing battle with him and his multiple personalities on Topix. There are several indications in his posts and IP addresses that point to him being incarcerated quite possibly at Folsom prison near Sacramento.

    Again, I apologize for barging in. Please feel free to block me and this other person as well

    The above Post knocking GW Williams was made by a drug dealer named Michael " Chubby " Woodbutcher, please watch out for this guy he hides out with a band named the Treblemakers. He's a known dealer to the FBI
    He is also Stalking GW Williams and has made death threats.
    He is not to be taken lightly. GW Williams is a world Class Guitar player, we all remember what happened to John Lennon right? He was gunned down.

    So I repeat Michael "Chubby" Woodbuthcher is wanted for arrest.
