Story behind the song
Harry and I needed some material for our first busking together and we did some of our own material and I suggested this was one we could share (and I could play it!) so Harry kicks off, we do v2 together and I took v3, with both of us on the choruses. Harry did 6-string, I did bass and we recorded it one afternoon where we were staying. Harry did all the mastering and production when he got home.
Lyrics
intro Mama, take this badge from me, I can't use it anymore, It's getting dark, too dark to see, I feel I'm knocking on Heaven's Door chorus

The tone of the acoustic guitar is perfect, great tune to do on the acoustic, Harry's vocals are an added texture to this really good cover!

A beauty of a song. Time and time again. And whenever someone plays it, it becomes something else. Same here! Love it. Great vocals, great strumming! Wonderful! Cheers from Frankfurt
