The Smiths - Still Ill

- This arrangement took me SO long to work out and it's not how I wanted to do it (I wanted to do it similar to my "Ask" cover with the riff in with the chords) but it didn't work the way I wanted it to sound.
Hopefully everyone likes it anyway.
You can now stream/download newly recorded "studio" versions of This Charming Man and There Is A Light on my debut album "50/50"!

From Wikipedia:
""Still Ill" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths. It was written by singer Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr. It was featured on the debut album, The Smiths, in February 1984. Another version of the song was included on the compilation album Hatful of Hollow in November 1984."
Lyrics:
I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
England is mine, it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days, am I still ill?
Oh
Am I still ill?
Oh
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno
Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die
And if you must, go to work, tomorrow
Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them, but not very often
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days, am I still ill?
Oh
Am I still ill?
Oh

Dude, this guy is crazy good, I’m blown away by his talent, no joke
man...your voice is like...I can't believe someone has that voice
Ah man, that's so decent of you to say, thank you!
I am a forty-five year old American whose favorite band is The Smiths. And this is my favorite song by them, which you did perfectly. Keep going!
I am a .... year old Australian whose favourite band is the Smiths. This is my favourite song by them. Great job.
@sd lm I don't see anything arrogant in what I said. The only reason I mentioned that I'm from the US is that most Americans have shitty taste in music and don't appreciate good bands like The Smiths. I was just really happy to find this video by someone so young sharing their appreciation of a great band from so long ago. Certainly didn't mean to offend by complimenting this talented musician.
Sus edades no lo hacen especial
I am a thirty-five year old Brazilian whose favorite band is The Smiths. And this is my favorite song by them, which you did perfectly. Keep going!

FIRE
I keep coming back to this. Showed up in my recommendations. So good dude.
Awesome, hoping you were doing that one, guess Hand in Glove should be next!
Dude this is one of me and my brothers favorite songs. He moved to my dads house and he’s moving to college soon so I haven’t gotten to see him as much as I’d want to lately, but I know he would love this cover
Another stunner! Thanks. It’s sadly the perfect song for today in NZ. Having eradicated Covid 19 for 102 days, in Auckland we’re back in lockdown. Our PM will inform us today about how long. Meanwhile, I’m really feeling for the UK’s economy having heard it’s really bad. I’m American and I just can’t help but feel some burden of responsibility for this. A taint. Oh America, you are such an embarrassing let down. And it’s gonna get so much worse I fear. Yeah, I’m “Still Ill” as well, but thankful my family is okay here and back home. I hope anybody reading this is okay too.
Hope everyone's okay too. Sorry to hear that you're back in lockdown. Hopefully it's just a precautionary measure and it's not all starting again. Stay safe my friend
I was originally searching for any acoustic covers of this song roughly a week ago, but I ended up finding your Charming Man cover, and started following you - and now you upload the very thing I was looking for!
Haha, great timing! I hope you enjoyed it!
This is absolutely marvellous. Love your voice and performance. Thanks for all.
Amazingly talented and a truly unique voice. Keep doing what you do. Greetings from Canada.
