'Mailman' by Soundgarden - Adam Pearce (Acoustic Cover)

This has always been one of my favorite Soundgarden songs, and I definitely never thought I'd do it solo acoustic. Also, I wasn't sure how to do the weird stopping part with electric guitar harmonics and effects, so I just improvised my own version. Other than that, I stuck pretty closely to original version. Hope y'all dig it!

Lyrics:

Hello, don't you know me?
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
I've seen how you give it
Now I want you to receive
I'm sure for you would do the same for me
'Cause I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way
Yeah, I'm riding you all the way
I'm riding
For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face
For all that reminds me which is my place
For all of the times when you made me disappear
This time I'm sure you'll know that I'm here
'Cause I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way
Yeah, I'm riding you all the way
I'm riding you all the way
I'm riding you all the way
Riding
Riding all the way
My place was beneath you but now I am above
And now I send you a message of love
A simple reminder of what you won't see
A future so holy without me
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the
But I'm riding you all the way
Yeah, I'm riding you all the way
I'm riding you all the way
Oh, I'm riding you
Yes, I'm riding you
Oh, I'm riding you
Yes, I'm riding you
Oh, I'm riding you all the way

The way Chris lays into the end is one of my favorite moments of his from his entire career. You did a great job.

[LISA.R.]

If Chris could have just heard you, he would have freaked !! Man Adam, you never disappoint !! Rock on !! 👍✌️🎸

[PatriciaZaresh]

Wow. Impressive cover. Couldn't see how this could be covered acoustic but, here we are. Amazing.

[Ichnotico]

Saluti dall'Italia! Hai una voce incredibile! Complimenti🤘

[pistolpete]

There is a strong case to say your the mailman bro. Your always delivering.

[martinleonard]

Soundgarden needs to bring you in. I’ve not heard many people that can sing in his style. I would love to see you and the band perform.

[chromeslayer]

Nailed it man!!! You should do peace love and understanding in the style of chris Cornell. He is absolutely my favorite musician of all time, and he was such a down to earth and intelligent human. An absolute legend.

[vikindianwooley]

You fucking nailed that man. Great job.

[rockinblind]

Dude you rock!!! I always look forward to watching your videos every Thursday. Best acoustic covers on YouTube. No doubt about it. You should try Blow Up The Outside World next.

[lemonstudio]

I’ve waited for this I have been trying to figure out how to play mailman in acoustic

[brandonstandberry]

Never thought a song like this would work acoustically, you do Chris Cornell justice as always.

[robwalsh]

Great job Adam! This was one of my favorite songs off of Superunknown. The blending of Black Sabbath aggression with Beatles vocal melodies. You nailed it!

[frustratedidealist]

One of my fav songs on my fav albums... Awesome job.

[jjhardouin]

Dope version. I was literally listening to this the other night and was thinking Adam would kill this song. Great job. You killed it

[nilsonpompeo]

Great accoustic version ! Awesome Adam ! There goes another suggestion: Hard Luck Woman ( KISS ). 🤩

[binyamin]

This is fucking jaw dropping. Everytime time you go higher i'm sure you're about to tense up and instead you just open the gates and blow it out of the water. This is gonna be the top result soon i guarantee it.

[andybyrne]

It took a second to hear it being an acoustic version but when I started to here it properly after 10-15 seconds I was like fuck yeah 🤘🏻. Phone speaker sucks in noisy environments.

[greatcme]

Awesome man, subscribed! What's the tuning?

[bentruthuncovers]

Great job 👍, i reckon with your talent you could make '4th of july' from the same album work on acoustic

[jensenmacneely]

Good job going nuclear at the end Chris would be proud ❤
