First "official" cover performance video upload. No, it's not perfect, yes, I'm looking down at the lyrics, but it's very me, and that's what makes a cover a cover and not karaoke.

When I say very me, then I'm saying the strained scream at the end was completely intentional. My philosophy on singing is that if it hurts, don't do it... but frankly, it didn't hurt. My voice was warmed up, and I've done that sort of thing enough times to know that I can do it properly without ripping something internally. Thank you to everyone who was concerned that I may be hurting myself. That's very kind of you~!

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
Im sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And Im terrified but Im not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That hes here means hes never lost

As my life flashes before my eyes
Im wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many wont get the chance to say goodbye
But its too late too think of the value of my life

  • WOW he should seriously enter xfactor!!!

  • nice shirt

  • hi nice voice, but too dark on chorus...make it alittle bit lite....breath at every end of sentence......lack air may cause the intensity for u to shout inappropriate way...which is not good for vocal cord.....to dark voice can cause exhaustion..........well i still love your tone.....

  • woah, really good. i was kind of skeptical at first...like, a guy singing this didn't seem too promising. chorus is kinda different, but you can definitely sing.
