Artist: The Pillows
Album : FLCL Soundtrack
Song : Instant Music
Author: David Drew @ dclowd9901@hotmail.com
This is one of the more fun songs to play on the soundtrack.
You'll notice in hearing it that it sounds relatively simple
to play, because it is. I should note, however, that on the
chord rise in the solo, I pretty much half-assed it. Your
guess is as good as mine as to what those lower notes are...
Feel free to drop me a line if you figure it out.

| I always thought that it was about bad music, personally. This is a strange song, because at first it sounds very J-poppish (they even seem to intentionally put emphasis on the words "HAPPY" ond "OKAY".)Once you learn the real meaning of the song, it's actually very bitter. | |
