'Nothing Compares 2 U' by Prince - Adam Pearce (Acoustic Cover)

It's an honor to cover a song that so many amazing artists have been a part of. Chris Cornell's version is definitely my favorite, so this cover is probably closest to his (with a slight Southern twang?).
Thank you, Prince, for writing such an incredible song! Thank you, Sinéad O'Connor, for making it known to the world. I sure hope I did it justice!

Lyrics:

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
Guess what he told me?
He said girl you better try to have fun
No matter what you do, but he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Without a doubt my absolute favorite version of this classic song…great job!

Absolutely awesome cover of Chris Cornell's version.I can honesty say as a musician and lover of music that your cover is so brilliant because you do it all yourself...no cello and no lead guitar.I cant imagine how even better it would be without taking credit from your version if you had those 2 guys Chris had to accompany you.The fact you didnt is what gives your version so much merit.Your voice and guitar work are a joy to hear.
I hope you are playing at gigs as you really deserve to be.I just heard this..your cover and was so impressed i had to comment asap 🥰.I have subscribed
and will now look at your other stuff.
Super cover to be short and sweet ! 😊.Cheers and all the best and RIP to Chris and Prince for the great memories and all the songs they left us..🙏❤️.😊

This is a killer version Adam!! Great range in your voice and you make it break up nicely just like Chris did. Awesome performance man!!!

[RK_peace]

Nothing compares to Chris, but you sir, did a mighty fine job!!

[nilsonpompeo]

Really cool Adam! I only knew this song in Sinéad O'Connor's version. But you managed to give this song a southern twang that was very good! Before posting this comment I went on YouTube to listen Chris Cornell's version, ...
Prince wrote it, Sinead sang it, Chris perfected it, and Adam made it better! :-)
