Illustrated Dive Into the Scotland-England Peace Anthem — AKA How to Find a Cover
<p>Everyone had an emo phase.</p>
<p>Mine happened when I was 12 years old — searching for <em>sad songs</em> on YouTube (creative right…)</p>
<p>Top recommendation led me to a break-up rap song called <em>You Were My Everything </em>by<em> Aviation.</em></p>
<p>A LOT of people loved it. I loved it too… until two repeats later…</p>
<p>It was time to wrap up the emo card.</p>
<p>I wasn’t in love with the rapping. My brain craved to know what the beautiful sample behind it was. It resonated with so many people, yet no one knew where it was from.</p>
<p>The sample clearly doesn’t get the credit it deserves<strong>. </strong>A common occurrence in the music industry.</p>
<h1>The origin of the melody</h1>
<p>Searching through the Youtube comments quickly revealed the origin of the melody.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Both sides the Tweed by Dick Gaughan</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Upon listening, it was clear that the melody was familiar. But this wasn’t the sample. It had to be a cover of this song.</p>
<p>I scoured through all the comments on the video… listened to all the covers of the song…</p>
<p><strong>Nothing.</strong></p>
<p>Spending hours of my time finding a needle in a haystack… I decided to find out what the hell this song was about to begin with.</p>
<p>I’m 2% Irish. Scotland is somewhere near Ireland. That’s a good enough reason to figure it out.</p>
