I'm a fan of Lana Del Rey and just spontaneously had the urge to cover the bridge to her song "Honeymoon" while listening to it.  I kept it the same key and had the option to sing as high as her or down an octave to my man voice, and while both sounded good I thought this one allowed more power to come through the vocals.  I like how it turned out so I may do the whole thing.

Honeymoon Excerpt

Wow a blast from the past. My aunt reminded me I made this song that I had forgotten all about. I had less equipment but more passion back then, with all the cheap sounds and poppy recording quality but still a heartfelt product.  That tiny little 2008 version of me did his best.

Locked Out of my Own Heart
by Caleb Harvey

Lyrics-
How did you become
Such an angel in my mind
Such an innocent thing
While leaving me broken every time?

How did I become
So open, showing I'm
So completely numb
To what’s really going on?

This is what it feels like
When you tear me apart!
I shouldn’t have given you
Everything from the start

This is what it looks like
When I fall apart
When I can’t speak
‘Cause I’m locked out of my own heart!

This is what it feels like
When you tear me apart!
I shouldn’t have given you
Everything from the start

This is what it looks like
When I fall apart
When I can’t speak
‘Cause I’m locked out of my own heart!

Do you even care
About how you made me feel?
Making sure you hurt me
So that I would never heal

From anybody else
It would all be sticks and stones
But when it came from you
I was never more alone

This is what it feels like
When you tear me apart!
I shouldn’t have given you
Everything from the start

This is what it looks like
When I fall apart
When I can’t speak
‘Cause I’m locked out of my own heart!

This is what it feels like
When you tear me apart!
I shouldn’t have given you
Everything from the start

This is what it looks like
When I fall apart
When I can’t speak
‘Cause I’m locked out of my own heart!

And I don't need
These memories
Because I don't wanna see
How I was suffering

I just can't believe
I just can't believe
I just can't believe

This is what it feels like
When you tear me apart!
I shouldn’t have given you
Everything from the start

This is what it looks like
When I fall apart
When I can’t speak
‘Cause I’m locked out of my own heart!

This is what it feels like
When you tear me apart!
I shouldn’t have given you
Everything from the start

This is what it looks like
When I fall apart
When I can’t speak
‘Cause I’m locked out of my own heart!

This is how I show you
That you've broken my heart
I've never been more alone
We've never been further apart

I wished I could tell you
What I felt all along
But I'd locked away
Everything inside of my heart  :(

Locked Out of My Own Heart

I heard this song on a music awards show in Japan in 2008 and it stuck with me so I decided to cover it.  It's originally performed by a Japanese 80's girl duo called Wink.

Samishii Nettaigyo 淋しい熱帯魚

This is my English version of the Japanese song I covered called Samishii Nettaigyo.

Stop
Don't you even see 
What you have done to me?
Non-stop
Your total control when 
I look into your toxic eyes.

Just me, just me
Thinking of you
Getting nowhere in the end
Thinking, really?
Can it be?
Are you happy lonely?

Heart on wave
Heart on wave
I'll be alright tonight
But when you go
I will follow
Trying to get you outta my head

Lonely in my thoughts I'm swimming
In my heart I'm dreaming
Why can't i forget you?
Stop
Stop

Love
I don't really know
If I'll ever reach your heart
Love me
Take my heart in your hands
But only if you love your own

Be free, be free
I won't hold you
If you want I'll let you go
Fish in the sea
Need to be free
Why can't I swim away though?

Heart on wave
Heart on wave
Over and under we go
Always a lie
Always love song
Always gonna be this way

I can't forget 
This is just me
I never lose this feeling, no
All night 
All day
Following you
Just to see where you go

Lonely in my thoughts I'm swimming
In my heart I'm dreaming
Why can't I forget you?
Stop 
Stop

Heart on wave
Heart on wave
I'll be alright tonight
But when you go
I will follow
Trying to get you outta my head

Heart on wave
Heart on wave
Over and under we go
Always a lie
Always a love song
Always gonna be this way

Heart on Wave

This is my cover of the song Mad World originally written by Tears for Fears.

Mad World

This is my cover of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.  I played the guitar riff on piano because I do everything on piano it seems.

Landslide

I did this from beginning to end in about 3 hours, that's about as fast as I could possibly make something like this.  The vocals were recorded in one shot, no redo's or editing at all, with the exception of adding some quick reverb for effect.  The song is "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables.
