Description
Hii! This is a one-take cover of "Possum Springs" from "Night in the Woods", using my voice and a guitar. I'm on a vacation and don't have the tools I usually use to make music, so I decided to try something different.
I thought "what if I used my voice and a guitar as the main instruments?". And I did.
I started listening to the original with the guitar in my hands, and after days of practicing and thinking how it would sound less worse, I recorded it. I sat in the garden, took my phone, and started playing and singing. I’m not gonna lie, it took some tries, but I ended with something I liked :D
I'm not a very good guitar player, I don't have a lot of experience playing it. The way I learned was by playing random stuff I enjoyed, sometimes by ear, sometimes searching for the chords on the internet. So yeah, don't expect some amazing playing, just a teen having a good time in a patagonic garden (✿◠‿◠)
I used REAPER to add some effects: reverb, eq, compression, and that stuff. Also I added some ambient sound from the same garden from other recordings I had at the start and end of the track.
NITW is a game that I really love. Not only did I have a lot of good moments playing it- tears of laugh and emotion, but it also teached me very important things about life. I feel like it influenced a lot in the way I interact with people; it basically gave me a lesson about humans: we are amazing, the world is full of beautiful individuals made of love.
I learned a lot in the process of making this, it’s very different from all the other things I made and that’s always cool, so I'm very happy for submitting something ^ ^

I've been meaning to play play NITW for a while, listening to this makes me think I might end up getting it. I really love the aesthetic you have going on, it's so peaceful and relaxing. Now I want to chill outside with some iced tea while listening to the trees and birds. Great job!
wow thank you, that's the feeling I wanted to share. and you should definitely play NITW, it's a beautiful experience ^ ^
Nice job. Also, gotta give it to you for recording both parts at the same time and in one take.
thank you!
Don't really know the originals but this is so different from anything else, and in a good way, i loved the guitar! Great job :D
thank you! :D
Wow!! Your interpretation felt really close and intimate for me. While listening to it, it felt like I was hanging out with my old friends remembering good times. Thank you, I really loved your submission!
wowowow reading that makes me super happy, thank you so so sooo much.
really, I appreciate it a lot :)
This was so 'real'
This type of music playing really speaks to me. It sounds as nature intended. I was happy to see someone else inspired by nature and the garden. When I was looking for ideas, that's where I went ^_^ It's a great place to really take in where we are, and forget about our daily lives. Wonderful calming cover. I wouldn't change a thing. You should be proud of your work.
this is so... wow, thank you. really. the last two sentences made me feel things I cannot describe. thanks for your words and for listening. nature is truly an amazing thing to experience and to take inspiration from :')
I don't know that game, but your song is good, especially for someone who doesn't play guitar a lot! That sounds very good, really like the dog barking in the very end^^
wooo thank you so so much! really, I appreciate it a lot.
and yeah, I LOVE having different kinds of sounds in my tracks, it's something I can't escape lol. so the dogs barking and the gate opening were super welcomed in the recording ^^
Damn, that's beautiful. So raw and peaceful and serene. Just a really human take on this music, which I think really fits NITW well. I can imagine this being used as a credits music, it would be a really great vibe for having just finished the game
wow, that's a beautiful thing to hear.
thank you so so much :)
WOW DUDE! possum springs in one of my favorite tracks, really creative vocalizing with the guitar
do you mind sharing the guitar tab?
WOAAA thank you!
here's the tab
if you have any problem tell me ^ ^
This is an excellent one-take recording where you had no metronome or fancy computer equipment to hide behind. You made something vulnerable and I think it turned out beautiful. I admire you making something even though you didn't have the normal tools at hand. You also shouldn't sell yourself short on your guitar-playing! I really enjoyed the fireside vibe of this track. Keep up the good work!
wow thank you, everything you said it's incredible meaningful to me. thank you again! ^ ^
