Chords: Crush by Tessa Violet
As a special birthday treat, I’m going to see Tessa Violet in London tomorrow! SO EXCITED!
It seemed only right then, that this week’s video and chords should be my favourite song of hers. Come get you the chords, and see a video that took two whole days to make…featuring the inimitable Moggy Interloper.
Remember I wrote about how I had All Kinds Of Feelings while watching some YouTube types, and then realised that I wanted to do that stuff? One of those young ladies was Tessa Violet. Crush, her Pillow Talk and Get Ready With Me videos have been an absolute inspiration. and played a big role in motivating me to start my own YT channel. It was her specific advice that started me going to open mic nights and singing there. (Thanks Tessa, you’re an absolute sage.)
While I don’t love so much of her music before Crush (except Baby I’m Not Over You - but then I like Hot & Cold, and I think it’s the same chords) I mainly fell in love with her vlogs. She seems like an altogether awesome young lady.
This week’s vid pays homage to those vlogs, and became an opportunity to learn a whooooole lot about Premiere Pro. And as regularly happens, I was terrorised by my adorable Moggy Interloper, to hilarious effect. The vid took me two whole days to make, but I feel like I’ve grown as a person. It’s all WIN.
Here’s the Imperfection Project recording - this time, not one take, in fact, I did tons of harmonies, but they didn’t all work out, and my uke needs new strings so it was buzzing like crazy. Oh well, it still sounds and looks pretty neat!
Here are the chords, taken from Tessa’s channel. I couldn’t be doing with transposing, because I had harmonies in mind and I didn’t want them to get tooooo high, so I stuck with her original chords.

I’m sure you’ll do a much better job than I did. Have fun playing!
Love always,

P.S. I didn’t write this, Tessa Violet did. The original is below for your delectation, and she has a new album out in a few weeks (which has Crush on it) so go buy that, and give this incredible artist some money!
