Hive Open Mic 124 | Locked Out Of Heaven | Cover

I didn't know what 'Moonshine' meant until I came across the theme for the week. The first and most prominent definition was that it's some sort of bootleg alcohol made in the night time. I thought of songs relating to the moon and I wanted to sing 'Talking to the moon' by Bruno Mars. I changed my mind and chose 'Locked Out Of Heaven' also by him.

Illegal alcohol most definitely has it's special high that can take one to heaven, reason why I chose this song. It's a song expressing the too-good feeling that felt like heaven. You might as well get this feeling from taking bootleg alcohol 😏

On the first take of my video, my normal key was too low and I decided to do a second take. I have a sore throat so I was really reaching attempting to go higher to match the background instrumental. Halfway in I couldn't keep up and I crawled till the end 😁 I enjoyed recording this anyway.
