Restart by Sam Smith (Acoustic Cover)

After my last video (Pompeii by Bastille), I was very unsatisfied with what I was doing with my music.  To be honest, I mostly covered Pompeii because it was a popular song that I knew people would enjoy.  I decided to take a step back for a while and figure out what I really wanted to do musically and I decided it doesn't involve popularity at all.  I want to make music that I am passionate about and I know will touch others as well.  I want to share songs that I have a personal connection with or one that I'm madly in love with.  Now... that doesn't mean I'm staying away from Top 50 songs or anything like that, but I'm not doing this for likes, comments, subscribers, etc. anymore.

So with that being said... here is Restart by Sam Smith, a song that has been my "anthem" for a few months for reasons you'll have to read the lyrics for!

Special thanks to Jonas for the microphone!
And of course, J, K, K, A, A, & R!
 
Lyrics:
It was a Monday night when you told me it was over, babe
And by the Friday night, I knew that I would be okay
Don't say it was a good thing
Don't say it was the right thing to do
Don't say it was the best thing for the both of us
When I'm the one playing the fool

What do you want from me when I just wanna restart
You keep coming back for me when you're the one who tore us apart
The truth is I'm better on my own
And I don't wanna live in the past
So let me restart
So let me restart
So let me restart

You've been lightin' up my phone
Worried that I'll be alone tonight
Wanna make sure that I'm fine
But, baby, you're not on my mind, no more
I know it was the best thing for the both of us
Cause you're the one who looks like a fool

What do you want from me when I just wanna restart
You keep coming back for me when you're the one who tore us apart
The truth is I'm better on my own
And I don't wanna live in the past
So let me restart
So let me restart
So let me restart
