The Boy with the Thorn in His Side (Cover)

This is a cover of The Smiths song, but done in the style of Scott Matthews. Ive been learning to fingerpick properly for a while now and I thought Id try to get a new video up as its been ages since I posted anything. Its rough around the edges- my hands were cold because we seem to be experiencing the longest and coldest winter for centuries

Im not a big fan of The Smiths, but this song definitely strikes a chord and I became addicted to the Scott Matthews version for a time.

Im going to rerecord it in the Spring when its warmer but until then you can have the cold version.

Original material can be heard here:

My hat is off. You are an EXCELLENT musician. I mean, to paint this song in a different shade and still convey the same emotion of the original. This is up there with the Buckley version, and that is saying something.

@D0ST03VSKY Thanks but I can't take credit for this version- it's a cover of a cover by the criminally unknown Scott Matthews- please see the description for details :-)
