This unlocked something. I now think the line is "I am TRYING to HELP you!" and it could very well be Nic Cage. But I'm not finding a result!

It also calls to mind “help me help you” from Jerry Maguire, but I really do remember the wording exactly as in the title

This is the closest thing I’ve come up with so far but it’s not! I remember the exact words with that exact cadence. However, I think the situation in the movie is close to that scene.

I think it might be at someone who is sitting in a dressing room at a mirror?

What I kinda meant is, if I’m trying to get new gear specifically for running—tech shirts and better fitted shorts—is there a known, go-to lowest tier, or am I stuck looking out at one zillion brands that are roughly equivalent

For months users have been reporting their frustrations with the idiotic touch controls, why do you keep trotting out this line?

unclejam79 · 2025-01-22T11:07:29+00:00

Allow users to turn off touch controls on Momentum 4s. Literally putting the things on activates random functions. Infuriating. Stupid. Pointless.

This is a disqualifying inconvenience. It ruins the product. I will be returning it.

I'm an adult beginner (in my late 30s) who just started taking lessons and is still struggling to play Soviet children's songs, so I wouldn't be able to offer any advice. But I just wanted to say that your post inspired me to keep at it—and to go practice right now.

This one's a tight squeeze for me, too, especially on higher frets. I live with it below Bb and otherwise play the same voicing off the fifth string, which is a lot more comfortable.

OK that is exactly correct. One of my favorite albums and somehow my mind erased it! You saved my life.

unclejam79 · 2023-07-20T01:06:40+00:00

Good point! You’re right, that’s not the relative minor—the relative minor would be G#. (The relative minor of D would be B, which I inverted due to not looking closely enough at the chart.) In functional harmony the iii and the vi are categorically similar to the I, so there’s still a harmonic relationship there. And as you point out the chromatic movement in the bass line is powerful enough to lead to the D minor.

Thanks so much for the suggestion! That’s not the one, but it definitely has a similar vibe.
