Regina Spektor - Samson (Acoustic cover)

I've liked this song for a long time. Figured I could do it on guitar so I figured out the chords and went from there. =)

Regina has a bigger range with her voce, so I had to sing some parts in less interesting Octives than she sings them in.

I think it turned out pretty good, few tiny mistakes. And fumlbes that I managed to cover up. Also slightly weird a guy singing about a guy. Girls do covers that end up about girls singing abotu girls all the time though. =P

Men should never, ever cover Regina Spektor songs.

[Jest]

@quememuera Why is that? Interestingly she often covers songs by males, she doesn't change the lyrics in Chelsea Hotel when it's sung form a male perspective. If it's about range and timbre than that's as varied in men as it is in females. Perhaps you mean Baritones like myself shouldn't cover Regina Spektor songs? :P

good work bro, would have been cool if you changed the perspective to a guy's and called it delilah!! actually I think I'll do that!!

[Jest]

somehting like :

"Hey there delilah what's it like in new york city, I'm a thousand..."

Wait...maybe not. XD

[ericsantiago011]

Chords bro..please thanks

[Jest]

@DontJustBNatural Why thank you DontJustBNatural. This is very old cover (5 years), I don't even really like doing covers now, I mostly do original music. I don't really mind angry people, they actually kind of entertain me. However your defending of music was most noble. So thanks, and if you like check out some of my newer stuff. :P

@probber66 Please don't say give up on music.

That's seriously where the line has to be draw.

There is never a reason to give up on music.

So his cover was perfect, and definitely wasn't up to Regina's level.

But I am completely one hundred percent sure that she would love it all the same.

Music is a savior, a defender, and a warrior.

It, in our darkest times, becomes the light that blinds us from the evils of the world.

Its something no one should give up

Not to mean, Just please don't say that

Aw great job! Gah I've been trying to learn this on my guitar.. Not much luck. Stupid barring >.<

But this is definitely an excellent cover :D
