    This, my friends, is a perfect example of what a good arrangement is. Two instruments that complement each other, they often switch roles between harmony/melody, but they never clash. Their rythmic patters also find a way to be in different regions. Many people try to use two (or more) instruments in a song, and they often end up accenting the same beats, and it makes the whole multi-instrument approach meaningless. This video is awesome.

      Layering instruments playing the same rhythm isn't always a bad thing, there is such a thing as layering. This is an amazing arrangment, but not doing what they did is fine too.

      Ricky Anthony there is a video by Austin Webber (I believe that’s his name) singing this song in a river in Japan. He made the video because he had planned the trip to Japan with his girlfriend until he found out she cheated on him, so he went with his dad and made a bomb ass cover and video of his antics.
