More like singing to the moon, but that's just a detail.

Posted, appropriately, just in time for Easter.
"Change Is Gonna Come"
Love the shiny red shirt!
"Heroes" by David Bowie
"Biblical" by Calum Scott
How does he hit all those notes!?

The 1972 hit continues to capture hearts around the world.

He's just Kodi!
"The Best" by Tina Turner
Lee honored the passing of the late great Tina Turner with a cover of one of her best songs.
"Let's Stay Together" by Al Green
By popular request!
"Drops of Jupiter" by Train
Who knew Kodi had a rock star side?
"Nothing Compares 2 U" By Prince/Sinead O'Connor
Lee was one of many who paid tribute to the late Irish singer with the song she made famous.
"Happy" by Pharrell
Listening to this makes us...happy!
"True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper
Lee decided to celebrate his birthday with — what else? — a song!
"Ordinary People" by John Legend
"We're just ordinary people, we don't know which way to go."
"You Are the Reason" by Calum Scott
As a special treat, he got to perform this tune with Leona Lewis.
"Stand by Me" by Ben E. King
It's an a cappella staple, but Kodi Lee proves it works on piano too, in case you forgot!
"Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra
Clearly, Lee loves him some oldies.
"Take Me To Church" by Hozier
It may be performed in his music room, but we still got the church vibes.
"Angels" by Robbie Williams
He should do more Robbie Williams, probably. He kills it!
"Lean on Me" by Bill Withers
A classic that will never go out of style, perfect to be sung in groups of friends or for someone special you love. It works in every context.
"Yellow" by Coldplay
One of the most beautiful songs ever written? Probably. If we had Kodi's talent, we'd cover it too.
"Black" by Pearl Jam
Another color, another cover. This is one of the few covers Lee performed without his piano; instead, a guitarist strums along.
"Fix You" by Coldplay
Clearly, Lee is a Coldplay fan, and their melodic music is a perfect fit for his piano-forward signature style.
"This Is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas
The spooky anthem from the Tim Burton classic is good for year round!
"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman
After Luke Combs' cover gave the song new life, Lee decided to put his own spin on it as well.
"Vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo
The lead single from Rodrigo's second album has also been covered by AGT's Darci Lynne.
"Rewrite the Stars" from The Greatest Showman
Originally recorded as a high-flying duet between Zac Efron and Zendaya (they perform it in the movie while swinging from a trapeze), this is a beautiful paean to the power of love against the odds. If only we could...but maybe we can! A perfect fit for Lee's inspiring story.
"Just the Two of Us" by Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers
"This is for my best friend, Remy! Heck yeah!" said Lee online.
"Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker, Jr.
Who ya gonna call? Kodi!
The National Anthem
Not technically a "cover" since it's supposed to be sung by a different person every time, but we're including it for Lee's great vocal performance, and the fact that he sweetly performed it at his sister's graduation!
