Tiger Mountain Peasant Song - Fleet Foxes (cover)

One of the songs of the year in my humble opinion. Please check out, if you haven't already, this vastly superior version by two lovely swedish girls:

Wanderers this morning came by
Where did they go
Graceful in the morning light
To banner fair
To follow you softly
In the cold mountain air

Through the forest
Down to your grave
Where the birds wait
And the tall grasses wave
They do not
Know you anymore

Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true

In the town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me

Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true

Jesse
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon

Joe, I really enjoyed your version of this fantastic song! Well done. And yes, at the end of the song you almost really turned into a demon...

Well done. Not a fan of the cheesy and pointless effects you use on some of these videos (or the angle) but you are a good musician.
