  • @wesman427 This song is incredibly simple to play on guitar. But it has one of the strangest, most bizarre, and straight up difficult melodies I've ever heard. Singing this song as it was originally performed is very challenging.

  • @markkklol My opinion has not changed: this song is easy to play. The chords used in the progression are some of the most fundamental chords that beginner guitar players learn and the tempo is slow enough that the lyrics are easy to sing over them. It's really what makes the album so good; it's simple, powerful music that you can listen to over and over again. I'm not arguing that music that is easy to play can't be good. Please understand this. Read my last comment over again for clarification.

  • @wesman427 who gives a fuck? How hard something is to play has really nothing to do with the impact a song can have

  • I was expecting him to butcher it terribly, but kudos to him

  • this is awesome :D

  • I cover this song, it's not easy. The hardest part to sing is at 2:27 in this video, though.

  • the last part was a little out there, but he does do NMH justice :)

  • This is a great cover.
