"Museum of Love" Daniel Johnston cover

This is my cover of Daniel Johnston's remarkable song "Museum of Love". Many thanks to Paul Sonnenberg for his encouragement and patience and indispensible recording skills.

Museum of Love
(by Daniel Johnston)

Gone with the wild wind like it was a dream
Preserved now for all to see like nothing you've ever seen

Right this way
To the Museum of Love
Right away
You've got to see 'em
It's love love love

This is right here where he stood When he said those sacred words
And he made a holy vow
And these are the drawings and his library card
And this is the cow

See it all
In the Hall of Sadness
Please don't miss
The Exhibit of Madness

As legend would have it
He had this nasty habit
Of a longing that was wronging himself
But still he would persist
In fact he would insist
That there was nothing nobody could do to help

He really loved her, He really did
And his love went 'round and 'round
And though he tried to keep it hid
He had lost what he had found
He had lost what he had found

Now all his pain preserved for all to observe
But please don't touch
It's an inspiration to think or try to believe
That someone could love someone that much
So now we declare it a new holiday for lovers everywhere
For each and every one to have their own share
He would have liked it that way

See it all
To the Museum of Love
Right this way
You've got to see 'em
It's love love love

Well done. Kudos. May I ask what kind of mic you're using, and what software/interface you're recording with? The sound quality is excellent.
