Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face (Instrumental Cover)

An instrumental cover of a classic 80's song by Billy Idol. I used Cubase 6 Elements. For the drums I used Linn Drum samples in Groove Agent. The soft synths used are Prophet V, Jupiter 8V, FM7, Trillian for the bass, and Music Lab Realguitar for the acoustic strumming. I also used some distorted guitar samples I have with Kontakt for the bridge. Please also check out my Soundcloud account: / juno-dreams
Lyrics:
I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
Hanging out by the state line,
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down, oh
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.

I was a teenager wnen this was released......it takes me back to a time I will never forget........legendary track.....needs one tweak...the double clap at the end of the original, otherwise great work

You can't beat the 80's music, bring them back I say 😊 ❤

[@shumoon1]

My favourite part of the song is the instrumentals at 1:32 . For 20 seconds, my mind is in bliss.

[@Summon256]

True! Sounds so melancholic, but very mystical catchy melancholy! The one, in which you want to melt your mind in…

[@LavitzReinhart]

Always wonderful to know someone who gets the music tingles at the same places as me. That part of the song is so good. I wish it was longer.

This is beyond a doubt the best rendition I've heard for this song. The 80s was the best decade for music as far as I'm concerned. Brings back so many beautiful memories. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. It's timeless.
