Upward over the Mountain - cover

cover of Iron and Wine's 'Upward over the mountain'

lyrics:

Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain

Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain

Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
And you cried 'til the morning

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain

Okay, so this is a really great cover and everything.

But seriously, I must say that the star of this video are those shades man.

Good job sir, and good job shades.

Great cover man, this is a beautiful song and you really deliver it with emotion and your own style.

This is one of my favorite songs. This cover makes it so much better. i would love to see epgiles perform it in person. i hear him sing it whenever i listen to the original. i wish i could learn to play his cover. :(

[InkSpilled]

Hey man, where's your capo and what's your tuning on this? It's a wicked version, it rocks out a bit.

[TheSlimViper]

I normally don't comment on anything on here, but this is a really really great true cover. You reinterpret this wonderfully.

[battramcheese]

You put alot of emotion in this, its great seeing covers where people actually look like they want to be singing the song. Great work.
