Hello Hivers!

Happy to meet again, hivers friends who are members of this @hiveopenmic community. "Intransigent Evolution", the theme given this time is very interesting to be applied to the song of our choice. Although at first I had a little trouble understanding the meaning of this theme, I finally found a song that I believe fits the theme.

Uniquely, the song that I brought this time was a song composed by myself. A song I wrote several years ago in Indonesian language. I usually write my lyrics in Acehnese language that originally my mother tongue. This song tittle "BERLALU" can describe the meaning of human evolution from an unrighteous path to a better one.

I will share a little story with you about the motivation for the birth of this song. This song was created during difficult times at the beginning of COVID19. At that time I was still working in Jakarta as an English teacher. When the COVID outbreak hit all of us, the condition of the course where I taught was affected which resulted in having to stop operating.

This condition triggers a high level of stress in me. It worst due to I'm stuck again in an old bad habit. I went back to using drugs to deal with the level of stress that was driving me almost crazy. Not only did I return as an active user, I also started to become a drug courier for friends in need. All that I did to get money to finance my life overseas.

I cried almost every night at that time. The cry felt fake because it happened at a time when the reaction from the drug was decreasing. But my little heart I can not lie that I want to get out of this situation. This has happened too many times, and I always seem to make myself a victim. Victims who are looking for justification for using drugs because of the many burdens in my life.

It was at this worst moment that this song was created. I have to get up to get out of this situation. By then I was too deep. I don't know how to get out of this situation anymore. There were two choices at that time, die or be arrested by the police. Finally the second choice happened to me.

Right a week after this song was created, I was arrested by the police. Three days before my birthday on October 5, 2020. I spent four nights in the detention cell of the Tanjung Duren Police, West Jakarta. My father had to pay a certain amount of bail so I could get out of prison. An embarrassing moment because I had to involve my family to clean up my stupidity.

Boring To Read My Sory? You May Check The Song Out Now...

Here is the lyrics and its English translation...

Berlalu...
Yang terjadi biar berlalu...
Jangan sampai...
Membenalu membebani dirimu...

Passed...
What happens let it go
Do not let it
Burdening to yourself

Selalu ada...
Awal untuk kisah yang baru...
Bangkitlah...
Jangan tertidur dari jatuhmu...

There always is...
The start of a new story...
Get up...
Don't fall asleep from your fall...

Singkirkan semua kekhawatiran
Sambut hari esok dengan tegar
Matahari kan slalu menyinari
Langkahkan kakimu dengan pasti

Get rid of all worries
Welcoming tomorrow with courage
The sun is always shining
Step your feet for sure

Maknai hidupmu...
Dengan cinta sesama...
Warnai dunia...
Dengan kasih sayang mu...

Meaning your life...
With mutual love...
Color the world...
With your love...

All right, my hivers friends. I end here my post on hive open mic this week. Thank you to everyone who reads and listens to my song.

Hey, but what happened to @cabelindsay?

He tested positive to covid, but he is feeling better now. Thank you for asking 🤗

I already commented on the publication where he said he had covid, good that he is better. @cabelindsay was one of the first people who convinced me to believe in what I do with music just like you @mipiano, and I take this opportunity to thank you also for the words of encouragement you gave me from the beginning, really, beyond the fact that we are content creators in a chain where we have to support each other to grow, I feel that you really helped me to value myself more as a musician, because at first I did not believe much in what I was doing. Thank you sister, I am really eternally grateful to you. 🙏🤗🎵🎶

Oh, my dear @naradamoon!!!! An old soul in a young body :) As you know, I highly appreciate you as a person, your talent and style, and even more your way of thinking, writing, and efforts.

And yes, we saw in you from the beginning all the value you are having and sharing with the rest of the world, here through this tool, hive. I am indeed happy if we could make it stronger for you...thank you so much for your words. Many hugs 🤗

What really got my attention was where you said ""there is always a start of a new story, and also don't fall asleep from your fall

Thanks for your appreciation Amigo.

Wohoo! What a sweet song! 🤩 yang penting joget bang, heheh...✌🏻

Yomariee bro 😂😂😂

My friend your story is not boring, it is one of many that have occurred during the pandemic.... You are great, did you know that? writing here what happens to you makes you great, not everyone is looking for a way to let off steam and you through music did something that gives you the power to choose very well what you want for your life.

It is very hard what you have faced, but it has a solution and you have part of it, what you need most is professional help to control that addiction, because as you know, you can get to a point that when you decide to go back, it will be almost impossible, so don't fight with it anymore and face it healthily, YOU CAN!!! your life is valuable and you deserve to be happy, no matter your defects or what makes you feel weak, you can handle it in another way...

With much love and respect I want to leave you a video I made recently, it talks about mental health, because apart from being a musician, I am a psychologist, and from my heart I wish the best for you:

This year is important for humanity, so make it the best of your life Brother, we need you well to make this world a better one, I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!! 🙌😀🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️🍻💥💫💯

PS: Your song is beautiful Man, and thanks for sharing your story... You Rock!!!!

Your support really mean to me bro. It's not easy to out of that addiction. Thanks God, I have family and many friends that believe in me. Now I have you by my side. I really grateful for that. Thank you so much brother..🤗🤗🤗🤗

There is nothing to thank Brother, we are on the same side, that's right, you have my support, it is not easy, we know it very well, but it is not nice to live in it the rest of your days knowing internally that it can change, right?

Little by little brother, I hope you take that step that will open the way for you, you have many things in your favor, one of them is music and you do it very well... don't forget: I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!

I hope to know at some point during the year, that you have done something great with this situation, I know you will, and you will tell me about it... its really nice to meet you Brother!!! 🙌😀🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️💯
