Default Lovesong for anniversary

https://youtu.be/oY63nkFXAJU
It has been a few years since I tried to do a cover video....but I wanted to make a gift for my husband for our anniversary, this week.... This song is 'Lovesong', a beautiful song by The Cure from 1989. My voice and playing are not great, however my husband was thrilled with the video, and for me that was most important.

That was great. You could tell it came from your heart. Nice work.

Thank you, the desire to make a gift helped me overcome my shyness. My husband loves it, so it was all worthwhile.

Yes, the best thing is, a few people have told me that they want to do something similar... it’s a fun creative challenge... even if I still wish my voice and playing were stronger. For my husband, it was perfect....

As a husband, I don't think there is a gift that could possibly be more thoughtful than that.
