Courtney Hadwin’s stripped-back acoustic performance of her own song Good Old Days, including her characteristic strong voice and no studio techniques, reminded listeners of her rare, true ability.

This poignant song, performed alone in her attic studio with only her voice and guitar, was written just a week ago, according to Courtney, yet it already feels like a timeless piece.

Courtney introduced herself softly to her Instagram Live audience, saying, “Okay, yeah, this is something that I wrote about a week ago.” It’s named “Good Old Days.” And, uh… “I don’t think it’s completely finished—it’s still like a work in progress, but yeah.”
