Romulus -- Sufjan Stevens Cover (Sparse and Acoustic)

My first shot at a youtube cover-- Sufjan's whispering and folky tune Romulus.

Despite his minimalism, I've tried to pare the song down even more. I've also changed the tempo and strumming a bit, just to offer a bit of a different spin. The end product isn't spectacular, but it was fun nonetheless.

I also like the effect created by the reflections on the guitar, and the camera re-focusing every now and then. None of that was intentional, but hey, I'll take it.

It sounded like soof-jan to me, but I might just be crazy.

you're probably not. it sounds like i said soof-shan, which could sound like soof-jan, but i blame it on my raspy early morning voice (when i did this vid). :D

SOOF YEEEHAN or SOOF YAN. Don't worry though, I was mis pronouncing it even after I heard him say it himself, haha. Great cover.

I like how you can see the lamp in your guitar.
