Angel Olsen has shared a video of her covering George Harrison's "Beware of Darkness" track on Instagram.

The track originally featured on Harrison's 1970 album All Things Must Pass, and last night (10 September) Angel Olsen shared a cover of the track via her Instagram.

She wrote, "The original is pretty great. I’m just messing around like a tired sad shit."

The original is pretty great. I’m just messing around like a tired sad shit Words are good too: “Watch out now, take care Beware of falling swingers Dropping all around you The pain that often mingles In your fingertips Beware of darkness Watch out now, take care Beware of the thoughts that linger Winding up inside your head The hopelessness around you In the dead of night Beware of sadness It can hit you It can hurt you Make you sore and what is more That is not what you are here for Watch out now, take care Beware of soft shoe shufflers Dancing down the sidewalks As each unconscious sufferer Wanders aimlessly Beware of Maya Watch out now, take care Beware of greedy leaders They take you where you should not go While Weeping Atlas Cedars They just want to grow, grow and grow Beware of darkness”

Back in July, Olsen joined Hand Habits to perform a cover of Tom Petty's "Walls".
