Mandolin Cover of "Just Like Heaven" (Awesome of the Day)

There’s something wonderful about Damion Suomi and David Fountain’s rough and downhome take on the classic Cure song, “Just Like Heaven.” It helps that, despite the impromptu nature of the performance and the shaky camera, Suomi (guitar) is having so much fun that he can’t hardly stay in his stool. It also helps that Suomi is just a fine fella who helps out with the amazing To Write Love On Her Arms Campaign. You can watch his Live From Paste performance here.
