Pandemic! 2020: Music to Quarantine By [track 3]

How can you mend a broken heart?

With a ukulele, of course.  

 

Although the Bee Gees version is its own kind of soulful, it is just shy of cloying.  I love the Al Green version.  He slows it down and adds that Hammond organ, somehow managing to turn a three-minute Brit-pop hit into a seven-minute soul dirge.  Brilliant.

 

Shooting for something in the middle, I added a third verse with the intention of using it for a harmonica solo, but I found the solo jarring and unnecessary.  Keep it simple.  A little tremolo on the amp but otherwise this is a single track of a single take.
