In this video I’m sharing a gentle cover of “808 HYMN” by Erin LeCount. It’s one of those songs that feels like a small, steady lantern—simple on the surface, but glowing with intention—and I wanted to sit with it in my own voice for a while. If you’re here for indie folk songwriting, this is very much that world: a quiet melody, a devotional kind of lyricism, and the sort of phrasing that asks you to listen closely rather than rush. Because there isn’t a spoken transcript attached here, I’ll keep this grounded in what the video is: a straight-through performance cover. My takeaway for fellow songwriters is to notice how a hymn-like structure can hold a lot of emotion without needing to be busy—how repetition, space, and a strong melodic contour can do the heavy lifting. If you’re learning by ear, this is also a lovely one to practice dynamics on: letting the song breathe, choosing restraint, and trusting the story to land in the quiet places.
