      @spiritman-em4qr Post-traumatic epilepsy is an extremely difficult challenge to deal with.
      Presumably, you're taking anti-convulsants? I've had a few good friends who faced seizure disorders and were on those meds. It wasn't at all easy for themselves or their families. I hope that you're handling the transition as well as possible.
      I'm thankful you shared your story, it's inspiring to know that you've taken the time to assist me. Kindness can seem elusive at times these days, so when people are kind to me I'm so grateful.

    The part between 3:47 to 4:30 is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever heard in music. You can hear the original song there but it’s so much more ethereal and beautiful. I love that you found so much beauty in this extremely dark and nihilistic piece. This was great.

There’s untalented musicians in every genre, just like there’s talented musicians in every genre-one type of music isn’t objectively talentless. Go listen to MF DOOM, J Dilla, Madlib, Andre 3000, Lady Gaga, Frank Ocean, Joji, etc. and then try to tell me that hip hop and pop musicians don’t have talent. Don’t generalise one genre and base its entire reputation off its worst artists.

    So i've been playing lead guitar for 30 years, played professionally and recorded with names you may know, and I have played this song live several times. That said I had to watch this a second time to convince myself he didn't overdub, its only because the lead part at beginning is an octave lower that sort of proved it to me. I am envious my friend, you are better than I will ever be. That said I did go outside every 18 months for an afternoon away from guitar, you may want to try the same ;) great work.

      He may have not overdubbed, but there are multiple tracks in there. As with all his other non-live covers I've listened to. He is an amazing player and he is right: all songs are performed on one guitar and by one person. Still, he's an amazing player, but even he can't do all those sounds at once.

    This terrible silence stops me
    Now that the war is through with me
    I'm waking up, I cannot see
    That there is not much left of me
    Nothing is real but pain now
    Hold my breath as I wish for death
    Oh please God, wake me
    Back in the womb it's much too real
    In pumps life that I must feel
    But can't look forward to reveal
    Look to the time when I'll live
    Fed through the tube that sticks in me
    Just like a wartime novelty
    Tied to machines that make me be
    Cut this life off from me
    Hold my breath as I wish for death
    Oh please God, wake me
    Now the world is gone, I'm just one
    Oh God help me
    Hold my breath as I wish for death
    Oh please God, help me
    Darkness imprisoning me
    All that I see
    Absolute horror
    I cannot live
    I cannot die
    Trapped in myself
    Body my holding cell
    Landmine has taken my sight
    Taken my speech
    Taken my hearing
    Taken my arms
    Taken my legs
    Taken my soul
    Left me with life in hell.
