Lance Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I think I read somewhere that it was Gwenyth's father's organ. That would make sense considering the meaning behind the song. Not sure exactly what type of organ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Here's a quote I found... 'Fix You' "It's supposed to be a church organ but it isn't. In fact it's a keyboard that my father-in-law gave to Gwyneth my wife, and it sat in the house for ages and then I turned it on one day and it had these amazing sounds on it." I'm sure you can get a decent emulation of it using a software synth like Native Instruments B4, or USB Charlie Retro. I've read some people complain about the sound of the organ in "Fix You". I guess you have to really put the lyrics into perspective about Gwenyth losing her father. It is absolutely brilliant how Chris could take something so tragic and create something so poignant and beautiful for her. "I will try to fix you." Truly a heartfelt line. Actually the whole song is genius... When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you When high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And I... Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face And I... Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyp75 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 on my piano i tried imitating it with the "rock organ" voice and it sounded very similiar to the song... and i tried every other organ there is too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motoi Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hammond B3 organ like skinner alive said is pretty much the right type, and if not its probably the closest you'll get to Gwyneth's father's organ lol. I wonder how much that'd go for on eBay :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_177 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I believe it starts on some Rock/Jazz organ, but then clearly switches to a church organ of some sort. Later, of course, piano comes in to accompany the organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
