Love Lockdown (Kanye West) solo piano cover by Warren Gray

I couldn't find any covers of this song on piano (with vocals) so I thought I'd give it a shot. I start off a little weak so I took the first verse out. I'm also reading the lyrics (don't have them memorized yet). I screw up a few times, but Kanye has problems singing it live even with auto-tune.

And I don't know if anybody has realized this yet, but Love Lockdown and Britney Spears' Womanizer are both in the key of C#minor, both are one phrase repeated for the whole song (with different melodies to distinguish chorus and verse). Womanizer has a bridge, obviously, but they're very similarly structured.

Lyrics:
I aint lovin you
The way i wanted to
See i wanna move
But cant escape from you
So i keep it low keep a secret code
So anybody else dont have to know

So keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
(x3)
So keep your love lockdown
You lose

I aint lovin you
The way i wanted to
I cant keep my cool
So i keep it true
I guess im to lose
So i gotta move
I cant keep myself & still keep you too

So i keep in mind when im on my own
Somewhere far from home
In the danger zone
How many times did i take for it finally got through
You lose, you lose

I aint lovin you
The way i wanted to
See i had to go
See i had to move
No more wastin time
We cant wait for life
We're just racin time
Where's the finish line

So keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
(x3)
So keep your love lockdown
You lose

I aint lovin you
The way i wanted to
I bet no one knew
I got no one new
Know i said im through
But got love for you
But i aint lovin you
The way i want to

Gotta keep it goin keep the lovin goin
Keep it all along?
Only god knows if ill be with you
Baby im confused
You choose, you choose

I aint lovin you
The way i wanted to
But i got to go
I dont need you
Ive been on this road too many times before
I aint lovin you the way i wanted to

So keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
Keepin your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
Keepin your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
Keepin your love lockdown
You lose

Good, but....your tempo is a bit too fast, the piano almost sounds like your playing background for a silent movie.

Your voice is great, sounds like your experimenting with octave ranges.

Four stars, cuz I really like it!
