This one was a bit of an experiment. I wanted to reinterpret a Pink Floyd song and see what I could do with it. I chose "Hey You", I figured out the key and made a backing track for my cell phone quality vocals. I'm not that great of a singer but I'm trying to improve. Your feedback is mucho appreciated :)
Starts off with some simple rhythm and then an awesome bassline hits the track with my basic vocals.
Some distant keys add to the vibe and then some rhodes keys kick in and add some more goodness to the mix.
Hope you enjoy. Infinite Lovewaves.

Hey You
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey you out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you
Well, that’s was amazing... you don’t give yourself enough credit. I can’t even say it’s a good cover, because you totally made this your own... brilliant my friend ❤️

Two words:
HAWT and also hawwwt.
I love your voice so much. It reminds me of Bono. I know he's a freak and I'd never have tea with him, but I would have tea with you anyday, especially if you would sing to me while I drank it. ♥ Love your work, and this beautiful cover. ♥

You have got an awesome voice, buddy! and I'm usually not a fan of covers but I wouldn't even call this a cover, it's totally you and a worthy hommage :>)
Love the music too! Sweet intro, great mix of piano and digital drums
P.S. Do you play the piano yourself?

Hey, I'm glad you liked. Took me a few hundred takes haha. Yes I have a small 2 octave usb piano and thats how I make all the sounds. I don't know anything about music theory and I know a few chords, I mostly go by ear. If it sounds cool to me I'll mix it in lol. Thanks for the support.

A few hundred takes? Are you serious? Wow!
That small piano sounds awesome. Have you ever thought of sharing the way you make your music and the instruments/ tools you use in a (couple of) post(s)? I would love to read that stuff!
Or are kind of like Coca Cola not wanting to share your recipe with the world ;>)
I can tell from experience - film studies and guitar classes - that (knowing the) theory doesn't necessarily help you.
I love how you follow your intuition, no matter how much of a perfectionist ( if the hundreds of takes wasn't a joke, you are kind of saying the opposite at the end of this comment) you are ;>)
And no need to thank me for your support. I enjoy your work and you're a great person!

Yeah I would say I did a few hundred takes haha, I plan to learn some theory so I can articulate what it is I'm doing, but for now yes its a musical intuition. Maybe I'll make a How To post. It's mostly listening to the same thing for hours and slowly adding sounds here and there. Like some kind of stew hahaha.

What are you talking about...you have a great voice! You have have a similar quality to Sting's voice :-) the piano is beautifully melancholic and all the textures combined are definitely psychedelic, I love the ending with the bass...great job!
