John Adams - If I Ain't Got You (Alicia Keys Acoustic Cover)

Studio version available now on all platforms: lnk.to/JohnAda...
I've wanted to do my own spin on 'If I Aint Got you' by Alicia Keys for as long as I've known the song existed, but if I'm honest I was worried I wouldn't do it justice and maybe it's already perfect as it is. lol
I built up the courage, stripped it back, dropped it a few keys and held my breath as I released it into the world. I've been so flattered by the response. People everywhere are using it to create reels of their favourite memories and it's coming up to 5 Million Spotify streams already. Thank you for the love and confidence boost.
Personally I think it's one of the best love songs of all time. Would you agree? What do you think would challenge it?

Thank you for listening
