I Won't Give Up by Ed Privat

This is a truely amazing song by Jason Mraz called "I won't give Up".

I didn't know much about this song, and I have to admit that the song is so beautifuly written, it was a challenge to this of something to do with it. As for lately I was doing a lot of acoustic version of songs, I decided it was the right time for pulling up my sleeves and working on a new full arrangement.

This time around I tried to imagine the song if it was sung and played by the British band Mumford and Son, so pop-country.

And that's pretty much the inspiration !!!

Ok let's see if you guys can name all the instruments that are in the song...

The tempo is 122 bpm, and I kept the original key

As usual I leave you with the lyrics Enjoy your evening!!!

"I Won't Give Up"

When I look into your eyes It's like watching the night sky Or a beautiful sunrise Well, there's so much they hold And just like them old stars I see that you've come so far To be right where you are How old is your soul?
Well, I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space To do some navigating I'll be here patiently waiting To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn Some even fall to the earth We've got a lot to learn God knows we're worth it No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am
I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up, I'm still looking up.
Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up) God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved) We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved) God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)
I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up
