Acoustic Cover // Hell and You by Amigo the Devil
This is a song I've been trying to learn for a pretty long time, it has an F barre chord in it which even after almost 2 years of playing guitar still tends to trip me up! I ended up using the cheater F since I am only picking the middle 4 strings on that part :p
The song Is called Hell and You by Amigo the Devil and would be classified in the murderfolk genre. I really enjoy this type of music because it's got a really fun juxtaposition of dark themes but usually has a good bit of humor as well.
It took me some time t find a way to sing it that fits with my vocal range, the original has a much deeper voice and I find when singing a cover my voice always wants to pull towards the original and it takes a lot of practicing to sort of get the original out of my head if that makes sense.
I also still cannot for the life of me keep my eyes open while I sing, I guess I find it distracting? idk, maybe I need to get myself some of these 😂
Lyrics:
Went to the bar to get a little closer to myself and learn
Things I never really wanted to know.
The walk got a little far so I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar Stains that showed
what's in the girl before.
But I want to be where all the stupid shit I say Sounds so romantic and true.
Cause I'd rot in hell with you,
If you'd just ask me to.
I love the shitty things we do together,
Live with me in this sin forever.
Hell and you, I know you want it too.
I hope you take the shot, see this chance.
Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you.
We take things a little far, but you couldn't name a place I wouldn't go with you. A plane,
a train, a car, I'd run. If I was dead I'd float.
I'd crawl in bed with you.
Even on someone else's blood on top of someone else's love,
In the worst motel we find.
Cause home is the last place that I'd stand to be with anyone but you.
I'd rot in hell with you,
If you'd just ask me to.
I love the shitty things we do together,
Live with me in this sin forever.
Hell and you, I know you want it too.
I hope you take the shot, see this chance.
Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you.

As you sing well your voice is melodious and sweet. I adore. It's not easy to play and sing. If you have another, I'm a taker your tone of voice is perfect you have to continue
I appreciate it, singing and fingerpicking has been quite a challenge but I'm feeling more comfortable as time goes on ✌️
I like music and I am also an amateur musician but unfortunately for me I sing out of tune or not enough to make me listen.
Just keep practicing, I think everyone can learn to sing 😊
I play my instrument by ear I don't know music theory. By the fact I hear all my wrong notes that I sing and I know that this cape for me can never be passed
I don't know any music theory either, it helps but I don't think it's necessary to play music. My best advice is record yourself, listen back, cringe and use that info to see what you need to improve 🫠
😉
The truth.... is that I like your version better, your voice is sweet and harmonious. It sounds excellent and I love it! A lyric that depends on the voice that sings it has a sense or another. You did it with emotion and feeling, I congratulate you!❤️
TY I'm a big fan of the original so it was hard to change it up!
It was great!😍
Me sorprende mucho las personas tan talentosas que puedo llegar a encontrar dendro de la comunidad, tienes una voz muy hermosa, sigue así y llegaras muy lejos
Thanks smokebeat!
Man!!! I love your voice! You’ve got a really hypnotic style, I swear something in it wrenches my soul! (I guess that could sound like a bad thing but I mean it with the utmost respect!) I can do a little finger picking style from time to time, but you’ve really got some excellent skills there as well - I’m watching close and learning by absorption (I hope) :)
No need to Clockwork Orange yourself 🤣🤣🤣 The closed eyes add to the depth of your performance - plus it’s proof that you must practice because you can play a full song by heart…another aspiration of mine 😂
Anyway, excellently done, I really love your style/sound and your song choices!
Soul wrenching is good 😂 A lot of songs I like using fingerpicking style so I gravitated towards learning that more than strumming, when I'm learning a new pattern I sometimes just sit on the couch and train my picking hand. Funny what you say about learning lyrics by heart, there are some songs I've heard a million times but without the track playing I just can't seem to remember it's actually kind of surprising how tricky it is 🤔
HAHAHA! yeah man, for sure! Another funny one that happens to me as a chronic site-reader, is when the printed lyrics don’t match what I have been saying when I sing along with the radio over the years - totally throws me for a loop 😄
Once it gets stuck in your head wrong there's no turning back, just call it artistic licence at that point 😎
Lol yes! Whenever I find those moments I redline the print and change it what I thought it was 😝
Fantastic cover. The song has a dark humour but romantic folksy rhythm that is well suited for a songstress. Wonderful performance in both vocals and guitar. 🎸🎼
Thanks, if you like this song check out the whole album it's pretty great!
I'm Speechless Ms. Julia.. HAHHAHA.. I played this cover for 5 or 6 times.
I Love it ❤️
Thanks goose 🙏
The lyrics is awesome
I guess this song was sung for a particular person...lol
