Hey everyone, here's a cover of the Talking Heads track "Life During Wartime".

This one is one of my favourites from the recordings I did through 2023, in terms of both performance and mix/sound. I based the arrangement on the "Stop Making Sense" live concert film version, with main differences from that version being the guitar solos instead of synth solos and the chord progression in the second solo being the same descending pattern from the intro.
