Baltimore - Nina Simone (cover)

Is it very bad I remembered this song because of the bridge situation...?
Here's my version of Baltimore by Nina Simone
Hi guys! I'm looking for some money to help me go study at Berklee College in Boston, if you want to support me (thank you) here's a link to my PayPal. I got a scholarship to study at that amazing school, but still need finances to allow me to move to the other side of the world. Every dollar counts, thanks so much!!

Lyrics:
Beat-up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' here for free
Hooker on the corner
Waiting for a train
Drunk lying on the sidewalk
Sleeping in the rain
And the people hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
'Cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live
Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon
To haul us all away
Live out in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never gonna come back here
'Til the day I die
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

The simple setup of just a guitar and your voice amplifies the lyrics for me, I normally love your overdubs but I'm glad there weren't any in this one, would've made it feel less genuine I guess

[@karolinawilgus9539]

Ohh I’m glad you feel that too!
I was thinking of adding some backing vocals initially but then realised it would be so unnecessary, if not too much.
Thanks for listening 💕
