Alpo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Neither one of those guys seems to be aware that that is a happy song. The first guy sounds like a singing a dirge. And the second guy needs to bring his tempo up a bit - like maybe double it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiant, even. Almost the anthem of the IWW in America. The first guy does inject a melancholy to it, maybe seeing the passing of a land "made for you and me" to one "made for elitist special interests." Second guy seems to be trying to "make the song his" with an interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
