Sex and Magic by Esther Rose
Not actually a cover of a cover, I think? Though I was tempted by Johnny Cash’s version of Tom Waits’s Down There By The Train, this is Sex and Magic.
I added a second vocal doubling part of the chorus, managed to fail at exporting it to the video around dinnertime, and listening to it now, it wasn’t worth keeping. Someday I’ll learn to sing harmony on a song I didn’t memorize in elementary school.
Oh, and the whistling doesn’t do the fiddle justice.
Here’s a piece about the writing of this song.
“People have told me that this song makes them feel nostalgic in a way they can’t explain”
Yes! I imagine it has something to do with the chord changes. I’m using a capo as instructed in the online version of the chords, but it seems silly since you could play it open in G without any trouble. It reminds me a little bit of Love Me by Elvis with the seventh in there (yes, the one music thing I can identify, sure, fine.)
