Letters In Wartime

[Bcmedic]

It's driving me up the wall! I can't for the life of me figure out what song the first minute of Letters in Wartime reminds me of.

 

Whatever I'm humming to myself contains that kind of quiet intro and then has the 'crashing' guitars about 45 seconds in.

 

Any help?

Well the first two chords are very reminiscent of A Boy and His Machine Gun but other than that I don't hear anything similar. :)

From the first moment I listened to it, I was reminded of the Tragically Hip and their unique writing style. Not saying that it was intentional, or that Matt is influenced by them at all, I don't hear that T-Hip sound in any other MG material, However, the overall mood of Letters in Wartime definitely feels like a tune from the Trouble at the Henhouse album. Needless to say, I absolutely love Letters in Wartime and Trouble at the Henhouse.
