Seasons (Waiting on You) Future Islands Cover

My acoustic take on Future Island's "Seasons (Waiting on You)". Hard to preserve the synth elements of original with just an acoustic guitar, but I think this works 😃
IG: / descendingstaircase
Guitar is an "Inspired by Gibson" Epiphone Hummingbird
Shot on a Panasonic Lumix G9 with a Tiffen Glimmerglass.

Absolutely beautiful. A little different. Perfect all the same. Great taste in music too. Future islands are geniuses

[@descendingstaircase]

Thanks so much! Wanted to see how I could translate a synthesizer heavy song, glad you liked it!

[@scotland5370]

Beautiful version well done

[@descendingstaircase]

Seasons change And I've tried hard just to soften you Seasons change But I've grown tired trying to change for you Because I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you Because I've been waiting on you I've been weighing on you As it breaks, the summer will wake But the winter will wash what is left of the taste As it breaks, the summer will warm But the winter will crave what has gone Will crave what has all gone away People change But you know some people never do You know When people change They gain a peace, but they lose one too Because I've been hanging on you I've been weighing on you Because I've been waiting on you I've been hanging on you As it breaks, the summer will wake But the winter will wash what is left of the taste As it breaks, the summer will warm But the winter will crave what has gone Will crave what has all gone away I've been waiting on you... Just put in here to sing it all together! ;) beautiful and great version!
