Hello #openmic community friends, I'm @samuelstifen. Welcome back to everyone who participated in this Open Mic Hive event. Hopefully our performance can bring warmth to everyone, including me. Today we have entered the 214th week of Open Mic events.
For Hive Open Mic 214, the theme is: "Take Me Home," chosen by : @starstrings01.
For week 214, I brought a song from John Denver entitled Take Me Home Country Roads. One of the songs that is quite a legend and until now many young people have covered this song. Because this song gives quite a deep meaning and is in accordance with the theme. us this week.
John Denver is a solo singer from the United States, he is very extraordinary in his work, and he is not just a singer, but he is also a writer, poet and actor and he also has many works.
He was born December 31, 1943 and died October 12, 1997.
Many of the songs he created are against war, social justice and our environment.
As I will sing this song, it shows the environment we live in. Even though he has died, his works are still remembered to this day.
I sang this song to remember him for all his works.

So since this theme is "take me home" maybe this theme is shown to someone who is more distant from their family and wants to go home or return to their hometown.
Of course, no matter what, if we are far from the people we love, we will definitely miss them and want to quickly go home and meet them. Even though we are looking for fortune in other people's villages, the longing for someone who is far from us must be very torturous, even for us. we can't avoid longing wherever we are. we want to go home quickly and can't wait to meet the people we miss and love
and like this song. This song tells the story of someone who misses his hometown and wants to return to his hometown. But at that time he was in the process of changing his situation for the better, in terms of work, economics and life.
I hope for friends who may be far from their family or people they love, I hope we can all go home and meet those people, and I hope we can go home quickly and return to the people we love.
and maybe that's all I can say regarding the theme and explanation of the song I performed this week, and thank you to openmic and the team for organizing this event. for giving a lot of his free time to this event. Hopefully this event will run smoothly and continue to be successful. Maybe that's all I can say, I say thank you
LYRICH-TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
