Hey guys,
I thought for this week's Steemit Open Mic week, I would do a completely different spin on an old favourite of mine. I will post up the original at the bottom of this post so you can see the difference.
I first heard Ladyhawke when I was about 14 years old and loved their unique style. I latched on to this song and played it over and over whilst I chatted to people on MSN (yes, it was back in those days). I have ALWAYS had trouble understanding lyrics, this could be something to do with my dyslexia, who knows?! But I always thought she was singing "you're playing with my do-o-o-o yeah" so it was quite a surprise when I actually found out what the lyrics were. This literally always happens to me. I'm very silly.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my rendition of the song. I decided to really play on the tones of my voice because this is what @krystle and @verbal-d have really picked up on in my performances.
I have tried to make my voice sound even more haunting and have pre-recorded my harmonies. It's quite hard to record the harmony first so it's not 100% perfect but I hope you still enjoy!
Tonight waiting for an answer
Heartbeat drumming double time
I need one more chance to be near you
Still hanging on
(For what)
Can't operate
(Fired up)
I won't eat and I won't sleep for you, yeah
No rest till I
(Get through)
'Cause I'm holding out
(For you)
Am I the only one who's insane?
Hey, you're playing with my delirium
And the longer I wait the harder I'm gonna fall
Stop playing with my delirium
'Cause I'm outta my head and outta my self-control
Still here in this quiet room
Deep in delusion sending me over
Outside watch the world go by
Inside time stands still as I wonder
Still hanging on
(For what?)
Can't operate
(Fired up)
I won't eat and I won't sleep for you, yeah
No rest till I
(Get through)
'Cause I'm holding out
(For you)
Am I the only one who's insane
Hey, you're playing with my delirium
And the longer I wait the harder I'm gonna fall
Stop playing with my delirium
'Cause I'm outta my head and outta my self-control
(I won't eat and I won't sleep for you, yeah)
