about

'I Like' was one of the first tracks I wrote in the style. While the chords are actually kinda simple, the song is based on a rather complex groove in 12/8. I first performed the song at a friend's wedding and actually wrote the entire second verse exclusively for that occasion. As far as I'm concerned, this song is dedicated to Isa & Chris, and I do hope the emotion of the song reflects the emotion of their marriage - forever after...

lyrics

Every day was just the same,
I had no face, I had no name,
Couldn't tell no right from wrong,
until one day you came along.

I like, I like, I like, I like,
the way you move, the way you smile.
I like, I like, I like, I like,
the way you are to me,
the way you are to me...

You had the charm, you had the look,
one smile from you is all it took.
Head over heels I lost my mind,
'cause to me you are one of a kind!

I like, I like, I like, I like,
the way you move, the way you smile.
I like, I like, I like, I like,
the way you are to me,
the way you are to me...

about

Tom Strasser Austria

Tom's style is best described as rather unique acoustic guitar playing to support his songwriting. He swiftly combines fingerstyle with tapping and percussion on the instrument to create a dense sound-scape, trying to make a single guitar resonate like an entire band. His influences are ranging from funk, blues and rock to streaks of jazz while he tries to keep an open mind and ear to all styles. ... more
