BTS - SPEYSIDE (Bon Iver Cover)
🕑 Added 2025-04-17 00:00:17 +0000 UTCFull version of the clip I posted to my instagram story.
Moved to Portland recently and haven't shipped a lot of my stuff over so I've been stuck without an instrument for a few weeks. I just rooted through the closet today and discovered a ukulele. I've never played one before (not a fan of singing with high tinny instruments) but it only has four strings and it sounds like it's tuned so that the open strum is already a chord, so it was easy to just the open chord as the 4th and moved the tonic around.
Whatever key it's in happened to fit perfectly with the song that's been the soundtrack to my melancholic headspace for the last few months, S P E Y S I D E by Bon Iver.

I know now that I can't make good
How I wish I could
Go back and put
Me where you stood
Nothing's really something now the whole thing's soot
It serves to suffer, make a hole in my foot
And I hope you look
As I fill my book
Oh, what a waste of wood
Nothing's really happened like I thought it would
I can't rest on no dynasty
Yeah, what is wrong with me?
Man, I'm so sorry
I got the best of me
I really damn been on such a violent spree
But maybe you can still make a man from me
Here on Speyside quay
With what's left of me
As you live and breathe
I really know now what had hold on me

Aw man, I love Bon Iver. Your voice is great for his music, even with just a ukelele! Also, wow, Portland? Oregon or Maine?
