Weeehoooooooooo OKAY where to even start with this one? lol
Hades II came out last month, and I saw one of the songs from the OST pop up on my youtube and, yeah, with a title like "I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes then Drown You to Death)" I had to click on it and find out what was going on there!
Frankly, the song is a huge bop in the original style (and I'm not usually into rock/metal), and also, in my opinion, hilarious. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of a siren, so once you know that, the title and lyrics make sense. Maybe it's just the bluntness of it that I find so funny, but the musical composition is so compelling too.
I posted it in Discord and joked about doing a harp lullaby version, but then the more I thought about it, the funnier that seemed to me. I mean, it's fun enough as a rock song. But the dissonance between the lyrics and a sweet little harp lullaby version? I don't know. If you find it as funny as I do, then you get me I guess! Lmao
I've really felt all kinds of ways about this cover throughout making it. I felt super giddy after recording the vocals and hearing it for the first time. Then while editing the audio I noticed all of the things in my vocal technique that I know my voice teacher would point out, hahaha. But honestly, a year ago I wouldn't even have been able to hit the low F# and high F#, so I decided to take that win rather than slave over trying to retake any of the vocals and slow myself down. After filming I wasn't sure if any of the footage would look good and then while editing I kept thinking, "Man, I sure am taking this joke cover really seriously" lmao
BUT I have no regrets, this was super fun and I hope you get a little laugh or smile out of it like I did. I think my husband is super glad I'm not singing about clawing people's eyes out at the top of my lungs anymore, though.
