Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, inviting creative expression and genuine connection.
Hive Open Mic
Week 40: January 10-16, 2020
Our Hive Open Mic community is a haven for creative expression and genuine connection. All are welcome. Every contributor can be proud of the fact we are building a live music movement by celebrating songs with an international audience. At a time in human history when many are lonesome and fearful, our event stands for global harmony.
“Hold On”
This week's Hive Open Mic theme is: “Hold On.” This is a pressure-free invitation, encouraging us to explore new territory together as artists and share a common ground as a community. Musicians always have full freedom to bring whatever music feels inspired in the moment.
How To Participate
- Produce - Introduce your video with the words: “Hive Open Mic Week [1],” presenting yourself and performing a song.
- Present - Post your video on Hive by publishing through YouTube (preferred) or another video host, tagging #openmic.
- Promote - Share your link in the comments section of Sunday's open mic invitation in order to be included in our weekly highlights.
- Prosper - Enjoy harmony with the Hive community by engaging with musicians and music fans through upvotes and uplifting comments.

Hello, It is possible to give me some examples?
Thanks for your question. Yes, sure thing. "Hold On" can be interpreted in multiple ways: 1. Hold something with a hand. 2. Wait for what's next, continuing to be patient... So you might discover a song about patience, or a song about holding onto the hand of a friend, or a song about embracing a lover. I can think of some specific songs you could cover:

Wow, that was fast @daniel2001 😜
Spanish: Jejeje si un poco, esa canción dura más pero es solo un fragmento y fue la que se me ocurrió conforme a la temática de la semana.
English: Hehehe if a little, that song lasts longer but it is only a fragment and it was the one that occurred to me according to the theme of the week.
Hehe, no, no. Me refiero a la rapidez de responder al tema de la semana 👍 La duración de la canción está bien 🎵👌
So do you want me to write in English as well? 😜 Just for Cabe 😇 So I was amazed with the quick response of @daniel2001 to the topic of the new week!
I am still thinking about my entry 🤔😁
Ahh ok perfecto jejeje y bueno conseguí la canción respecto a la temática y quise lanzarla de una vez jejeje.
👏👏👍
I took a shot at a 150 year old Irish folk song called Spancil Hill this week...Memories of the way things were as the author embarks on a journey to forge a new life in a strange and uncertain world...
