Hive Open Mic | Week 78 | Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Guitar Cover)

Hey there,

Hope you've had a good week so far :)
This weeks theme is 'Amante' which means lover. I've decided to cover the song 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' by the group Death Cab for Cutie.

The words of the song have always struck me. There are obviously different ways of interpretting the song but for me, it means being there for the other person no matter what.
Be it tough times and beyond life itself. Its a comforting feeling knowing that there is someone to catch you if you fall or to hold your hands in difficult times and just being there.
Showing up and being there and letting them know it's going to be okay.

Here is the link to the original song -

Song Lyrics -
Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels, to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love, " so I never went back
And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Have a great weekend! :D
