Everybody Hurts - R. E. M. (Acoustic Cover) 

I changed my schedule so that I'm only uploading every two weeks now instead of every week on this channel, and I also cut back to only once a week on my second channel ( / @projectonemusic-1977 ) I'm thinking this will give me some breathing room to still put out content I'm happy with, but also give me some extra time to do other stuff besides RU-vid 😅
I've been wanting to do this cover for a while now but just kept going back and forth on the key. The original key isn't too high, but I felt like my voice just doesn't sound as good in it. I changed it to a lower key using a capo as high as I could comfortably play the original chord arpeggio, but then I found it too low for my voice. So after many recordings and changes I finally just changed the chords and settled on this key... and I also dropped the extra electric guitar, drums and backup vocals that I also recorded... just because I felt like they weren't needed... anyways, blah, blah, blah, I hope you guys like it 😂

Lyrics:
When the day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (Hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand, oh no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
No, no, no, no you are not alone
