i dont get the point of doing covers like the same as the original this isnt a new take on it at all. not saying it isnt good or anything but it would have been cool if he did his own arrangement
@TheLongestMile Not all covers need to be altered and most covers are very close (just to pay homage to the musicians who wrote the music and lyrics). Even these covers are actually original in their own ways. They usually feature slight changes in guitar riffs, definite change in the timbre of the music between the voices and instruments, and the dynamics are nearly always different.
Try listening more closely. You'll start to appreciate the small differences.
Apparently Ritter is quite the Modest Mouse fan. In a video of Harrisburg he starts singing Tiny Cities Made of Ashes halfway. But yeah, great cover, and I love his music
@michealewis1990 Snow is Gone, Golden Age of Radio, Thin Blue Flame, To the Dogs or Whoever, Harrisburg, Wings, Man Burning, Hotel Song, Leaves and Kings, Mind's Eye, Monster Ballads, and lots more....
the lyrics to this song are brilliant and the way ritter plays the song is soo good just a great cover

Gotta love Modest Mouse covers! This is actually a really good cover, but not as good as the original.

Apparently I can't post a link in the Comments section. The video is by AcquaNeve and the video is just called Josh Ritter - Harrisburg.
