Postcards From Italy - Beirut (Acoustic Cover)

What a song. "Postcards from Italy" from Beirut really shines with the horn section on their original track and I beg for you to listen to it if you haven't heard the song before. But I hope that I've somehow captured enough of the essence of the song through this acoustic cover to showcase the melody underneath all the layers of goodness from the original.

I love this rendition of Beirut's Postcards From Italy. Nice job on the trumpet part as well. Soft and nostalgic :) Great work.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it'll work, and its definitely not as epic as the trumpets of the original track, but it came out alright!
