A cover and not a cover

1. The Difference
This is a song I made last summer. There's not too much backstory here. Just a little song.

2. I'll be Here in the Morning
This is a Townes Van Zandt song. Usually when I do a cover I try to make it a little different than the original and embellish it with my own guitar style. However, that was hard to do with this song since a lot of what I do on guitar was learned from listening to Townes' records. He's kind of a musical idol of mine. This song comes from his self titled album, which is a good place to start if you've never listened to him. Also, check out the doccumentary "Be Here to Love Me". Here's a clip from that film of Devendra Banhart covering "Colorado Girl"
