The first of these covers with active engagement from the original artist. I couldn't figure out all of the lyrics for this track (the whispered backing vocals behind the chorus), but happily Yoni was at hand to help out. It's also another cover that started somewhere different - all acoustic guitar and banjo and strings - but I realised as I progressed that there are a lot of dark elements I wanted to bring out. One of the guitar lines was named "black metal" in the recording session.
