      Stavo proprio pensando il contrario mentre ascoltavo il brano, mi spiego, questa è una cover acustica, ovvero il brano è stato reinterpretato come se fosse stato creato già acustico, per strumenti acustici. Il problema è che normalmente si ascoltano cover acustiche che NON sono cover acustiche, anzi non sono proprio delle cover, sono solo lo stesso brano suonato con strumenti acustici. Ovviamente tali cover fanno generalmente schifo. Questa invece è esattamente come dovrebbe essere una cover acustica. Purtroppo nel mare di mediocrità un buon lavoro sembra una cosa strana quando invece questa dovrebbe essere il giusto modo di fare.

    I've never heard of System of a Down before. What a beautiful rendition of a song. Too applicable right now.
    November can't come soon enough.

    This song fits your voice so well imo and I love the simple acoustics/contrast with the lyrics even more

    This was incredibly amazing, one of my favorite songs when I was younger and this got me in the feels to how well done of a switch this was. Very well done, will listen to this at least daily.

    I've had the regular one stuck in my head at random for like a month, so thank you. This version is preferred, tbh.

    "Where the fuck are you" part is literally a combination of "crawling" song by Linkin Park. Genius.
