I’ve been asked a few times to do this song so I thought I’d give it a go.
I have an injured left hand so my guitar playing might not be as good as normal but I’ve done my best in a song full of barre chords haha!
From Wikipedia:
“"Eyes Without a Face" is a song by English rock musician Billy Idol, from his second album Rebel Yell (1983). It was released in 1984 as the second single from the album. The song is softer and more ballad-like than most of the album's other singles. It reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Idol's first Top 10 hit in the USA. The recording features the voice of Perri Lister-she appeared in the banned video for "Hot in the City"-who sings "Les yeux sans visage" (French for "Eyes without a face") as a background chorus. The title of the song refers to the English title of French director Georges Franju's 1960 film Les yeux sans visage.”

LYRICS IF ANYONE WANTS TO SING W/ ADAM :
I'm all out of hope
One more bad break
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
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
I spent 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
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
You steal a car and go to Las Vegas
Oh, gigolo pool
I'm on this 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
Love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realize
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
Such a human waste
You're eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse
Listen again. This cover skips a verse from the original.
@@krzykrisyes, you are right, but even so, it is important to recognize his effort
It can be difficult to accept a cover of your favorite song. BUT mann did you not just raise the bar, you took it to heaven and back..Love your covers..
Watching from Fiji✌️✌️
I just love all of Adam's stuff; stripped down, awesome improvisation, and a beautiful voice, great range, clarity....sometimes I even cry......60 year old man in Chicago
By far, the best cover of this song I've ever heard.
Totally agree! You nailed it! Very impressive!!
Its not even close, this cover was amazing
One of my favorite Billy Idol songs. Amazing cover!
It’s a brilliant one! Thank you
Grande Adão Barreto, mais um cover foda , você é muito bom!! Um abraço aqui do Brasil
hahahaha bora Adão!
so glad i found this when i did.. that high pitch shift in the chorus
is something else.. gives shivers everytime....
Not heard much Billy Idol but maybe I should, this is beautiful.
This is certainly an outlier though Dancing with myself is mighty catchy
The whole Rebel Yell album is great.
You have the perfect voice for sing that song.
A classic. Love the lyrics in the final verse. Nice cover mate. Really nailed the mood and tempo.
Cheers John, the lyrics are brilliant
i always come back to this video just to hear your version
You need to record this and release as a cover. Truthfully, absolutely flawless
This, defo. Love the original but this has its own sparkle.
i believe he put it on spotify
Deserves 20 million, but they can neither add to or remove from the fact that this is great
the best billy idol song
By far the best cover of Eyes Without A Face I've ever heard. Absolutely beautifully done buddy. Best wishes from Dublin City..
💚☘️🎵💃🎶🕺🎵☘️💚🇮🇪
Just discovered your videos today. This is perfection mate. Your Radiohead and Smiths Covers are also all superb. What a talented and gifted musician.
Adam, that was an amazing cover. One of my favorite BI songs. Your voice was perfect for this song and your playing was right on. Thanks for covering this!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Nobody could ever say that you didn’t nail it or exceed the original version. There is no doubt you are more vocally gifted than Billy. That being said Billy was a Punk Rocker. Thank you for stirring up his memory. I am saddened by the music industry & have turned my back & just enjoy my catalogue that I grew up with. Thank you for reminding me of Billy & GenX. The old school is the good school.
I recently had an ignited passion for this song, it’s so serendipitous you put this out. Keep it up man
Your voice is sublime
I could be playing this over and over,beautiful voice!
Rarely do you get a cover equal to the original-beautiful voice,les yeux sans visage sang at perfect pitch-absolutely awesome❤️🤘🏻
Parabéns! Essa versão ficou ótima!
Does it justice... Great talent
Another beautifully well-done cover of a great song. Nice one, Adam.
Production feels so good, along with the voice and guitar.
Parabéns, você toca e canta muitíssimo bem!!
Bravo! Captivating performance! You even knocked the falsetto out of the park! Bravissimo!
Surreal! Cover 👊
I bought this album when it came out, AND saw that tour. SO GREAT. I still play him a lot. Another great cover Adam👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Chris. It’s a great album. Rebel Yell is my favourite. I’ll have to do that one day 😬
beautiful voice and music! congrats idol!
You've done so many covers, but this is probably my favorite of them all. Your vocals have grown over the years and you continue to get better and better! Amazing! 😀
QUE BONITO CANTAS
Obrigado meu amigo 🙌
Cover bom demais! Tenho ouvido mais que a original. 👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
The great cover! Bravo!
5 listens in ... fecking awesome!
My absolute favorite BFI song. I was definitely born in the wrong generation I love the 80’s so damn much!! What a beautiful version ❤ this song was playing on my CD player in my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee when I got word that my grandpa had passed away. I just turned it up as loud as it would go to try to drown out the shock and pain.
Wooooow. Great job 😉👍 well done!!
You teared me up brother. That was beautiful. One of the few instances where the cover completely surpasses the original. Well done buddy
Brilliant, love your covers , keep it up!
Thank you!
Already in love with this cover
Linda vozzz parabenssss
This is soooo good on God. Top 10 best covers of all time good.
Amazing cover ! What a voice !!!
Without Idol's 80s vocal affectations, the lyrics are now on display. To say you've bested Idol's version is putting it mildly. Great job! Cheers.
