Thanks to Kevin Wacknov for the sound check. The song is Sixpence None the Richer’s ode to homesickness during winter. After hearing someone else cover it, I decided to give it a try myself. The arrangement consists of a chord loop for the chorus and a different one for the verses. I removed some extended instrumental sections to give my fretting hand a break, and the shortened version still conveys the song’s essence.
I reworked my arrangement more than I typically do for a cover. I kept the bass line to one note per measure. At one point, I had a ukulele playing a background rhythm for added texture, but I later decided it was unnecessary clutter. I did manage to record some instrumental notes using the Risa electric ukulele. The Taylor Mini-E bass provided the bass line, and the Klos 8-string for the live rhythm.
