I play this song on the guitar and the mandolin harp (aka fretless zither). I use two guitar slides, a glass one on my left hand for percussion & a brass one on my right hand. I aplogize for part of the harp being out of view. Some of my other videos will give you a better look at the instrument.
I love this song and many of this band's songs. I remember hearing it while in my early-mid twenties. That was a pretty tough time of my life, and this song awakened a lot of hopeful feelings within me. I have been experimenting with different playing techniques, and this song served as the perfect catalyst for the mixing of several of these new styles.
I'm not gonna lie, this was not an easy song to record. I very sincerely hope you enjoy it.
