Person: eeÅn
song: Slow Motion (Instrumental)
artist: Third Eye Blind
tab: This is a great song that was originally edited by Elektra for
3eb's new album. This is the tab for the CD version, I expect for the
original cut to come out on an EP later this year. This tab is kinda
confusing since there is no real order to this song, so just bear with
me. If you have any comments, questions, of suggestions, email me at
DaMuzikBoi@aol.com. Enjoy!

| oh man when i first d/l this i was like o god he's a freak..after listening to it a bunch a times i realize that it was written to make a point...anyway the lines "Two lines of coke I cut with Draino And her nose starts to bleed A most beautiful ruby red" still gives me the chills | |

| Jeannie, about Jenkins home town, i checked a couple of semi reliable websites real quick and they all said he was taken to Wisconsin and then to Palo Alto, CA where he grew up. One of the sites also said he went to Gunn High. I think it would be cool if that was part of the inspiration for the song. i like little background pieces on good songs like this one. | |

| This is one of the best song I've EVER heard. So much talent within the piece and surpirsingly only one composer. Simply amazing. | |

| i heard this song a few years ago and it kinda freaked me out..but i guess now i get it better. its one of the most beautiful songs i've heard. its like, everything in the world is flourescent...pain and beauty go hand in hand. the pain is this song is real and everyone feels it, this makes it beautiful. i had someone listen to this song and they said it was gross..and thats because its so real.. it shows the crazy parts of everyone, we all feel the same things..and stephen jenkins is my god | |

| It's sad, but it tells the truth. The best works of music and literature are written with pure honesty. This song accomplishes that nicely, as well as remaining sufficiently disturbing =) | |
