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!

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!
