William Fitzsimmons Covers Kanye West

I know that it has become somewhat trendy to take a pop song and strip it down to nothing but a voice and an acoustic guitar.  But this isn’t just another guy trying bank off of the fad of the day.  This song is legit.  It works for the same reason that it worked for Sam Beam’s “Such Great Heights”, or Jose Gonzalez’ “Heartbeats.”  It’s very real and it’s no stretch of the imagination.  I feel like this could fit right in with any of his albums so far, and that is what I love about.  And as usual, for a cover to work, the original has to be a solid track.  This right here is a reminder that as ridiculous as Wests actions may be while he is in the public eye, his music is still very relevant.
