Calum Graham - Grace (Cover by Marcel Dominic)

My cover attempt of the beautiful, echoing piece called 'Grace' by one of my biggest guitar influences and heroes Calum Graham.
- TRIVIA -
It's been two and a half years since I started focusing on learning all the acoustic guitar pieces that I love and truly connect with. Learning this beautiful and echoing piece by Calum Graham was out of the question. It just had to be the second piece I needed to learn after 'Waiting’.
I find myself in deep tangled thought when listening to Grace. I imagine a bright afterlife. A hopeful place filled with peaceful people who all had experienced their share of joy and suffering on planet earth and are now reunited to celebrate serenity and acceptance.
I shot the video as a bonus on my 30th birthday in the forest of Pierrefonds, France. I was rather unprepared and wasn't expecting much for this cover. But the special circumstance was an opportunity I simply had to take. I recorded the playthrough freely without an underlying track to play to and recorded the audio of my cover version afterwards at home. I had to make it fit somehow as I played the song faster and recorded it in a slower tempo (at 145 bpm instead of 150). Sometimes I let it ring out much longer, sometimes much shorter. I had to slow down the footage sometimes as well as cut and overlay the videotracks, which gives this cover a unique style and vibe. Interestingly, I feel that eventually, it turned out rather nice and artistic - which, I believe fits the original song perfectly. What do you think?
A (almost full) uncut playthrough of this tune is on my instagram.
