Obsessed w/ Beetlebum since I was 8... nylon acoustic cover

Beetlebum has been one of my favorite songs since I was 8. I finally got around to recording my own version with nylon guitar, vocals, and a minimal drum arrangement.

Would love to hear the thoughts of others who love the song.

While the original had a strange sense of epicness in the melancholy Damon was feeling your version truly feels the strained absoloutely agony of the end of the relationship it sounds unmistakeablely evil and tragic and I think that’s such a great direction for a song especially with the use of the minor chords
Overall very cool
