Lyrics: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Yeah, we'll be counting stars I see this life, like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line And in my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Yeah I feel your love and I feel it burn Down this river, every turn Hope is our four-letter word Make that money, watch it burn Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Oh, take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Everything that kills me Makes me feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned

[@brysp]

What is your secret? How do you record? How you get so clean sound? Are you record guitar via guitar mic or external mics? Do you use any special effects? I record myself and i use reverb, compresor and EQ mods.

[@BradleyDavee]

Yeah I wish i had an answer to this. Or would be cool if he made a setup video

[@AssassinAU]

My best guess would be that he had recorded himself play 3 times with the camera in 3 positions and then record himself playing with out the cameras and just had a microphone near the sound hole and then synced all 4 recordings to give us this. I say 3 recordings with the camera because in all 3 camera positions during the video I couldn’t see a second camera next to the guitar.

[@BradleyDavee]
