Train Song (Vashti Bunyan / Feist + Ben Gibbard cover on AUTOHARP!)

So.. I love this song. And I bought an autoharp from 1957 at a Pawn Shop yesterday for 30 bucks. BUT I don't know how to play it yet, haha so I suck. But I thought this song sounded cool on it and very dreamy and.. train-y. I will get better! Basically I've been watching videos of PJ Harvey trying to figure out how to play it, so I don't claim to actually know how to play the autoharp. Sorry to any actual autoharpists out there. i'm sure you could do much better!

Shame.

I hope this isn't too terrible of a cover though..

Just for fun!

Oh and my autoharp is odd I think. It has chords like C#dim on it.. is that normal? I'm not sure. Anyway.

Sorry for the reverb.. Garageband is on my shitlist. I'm a cheapo and won't splurge on more. Ugh. At least Garageband didn't autotune me automatically this time or make me sound like a man like it sometimes does.

ps. These strings are probably 50 years old.. haven't gotten a chance to change them yet. Sooo they get out of tune pretty easily. Just a fair warning! YEAH I'm Self-counscious! Who are you?

I've strangely never heard the original, but I came across this from PJ Harvey. Regardless, you do the song well.
