Cigarettes After Sex - Apocalypse (Guitar Instrumental Version played by Chris Hampton) 

Here is my instrumental cover of the song "Apocalypse" by the band Cigarettes After Sex which was released on their self-titled debut album in 2017. It was written by guitarist/lead singer Greg Gonzales. He was inspired to write the song after he and two women he had dated had "big ambitions" but were "stuck" in their hometown, which felt "impossible" to get out of. Gonzalez then moved to New York City, but the two women remained in their hometown. He said the song is ultimately "about being there for people, when you're all alone. It was like a little affectionate statement to them."
I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Neck Pickup) with the Zoom G2.1Nu with Echoes From The Past (Patch A9). Recording was done via USB to my home PC with Cubase.
The backing track I used was purchased from Karaoke Version - www.karaoke-ve...
I hope you enjoy my version of this very dreamlike song
LYRICS:
You leapt from crumbling bridges
Watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing
In the ocean from way above
Got the music in you, baby
Tell me why
Got the music in you, baby
Tell me why
You've been locked in here forever
And you just can't say goodbye
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers
Wrapped in your arms
You've been hiding them in hollowed out pianos
Left in the dark
Got the music in you, baby
Tell me why
Got the music in you, baby
Tell me why
You've been locked in here forever
And you just can't say goodbye
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
Go and sneak us through the rivers
Flood is rising up on your knees
Oh, please
Come out and haunt me
I know you want me
Come out and haunt me
Sharing all your secrets with each other
Since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you
Clutched in your fist
Got the music in you, baby
Tell me why
Got the music in you, baby
Tell me why
You've been locked in here forever
And you just can't say goodbye
You've been locked in here forever
And you just can't say goodbye
Oh, oh
When you're all alone
I will reach for you
When you're feelin' low
I will be there too
