This is the First time I will be participating in the Vibes Contest. My brother @ezun1 has told me a lot about it and has persuaded me a couple of times to join him with accompaniment. But so far so good, thisis my first solo mission.
And I felt the best way to properly launch into this space was to sing one of my favorite songs and use #Speak for the first time too.
I would've have done this sooner had I known the competition was on but I didn't follow up till I saw my brother recording his bit. So I decided to cover mine. I promise that the next clip wil be neater and more packed. But for now, do enjoy this.
Before I leave though, I will like to share with you the lyrics and motivation behind the song.
I first heard it on the TV series This is Us and the lyrics spoke well to me on how beautiful and fickle love is. It could be the most wonderful thing you've got going on but one day, death will set his icy gaze on it. It kind of reminds me to always enjoy the moment and not bother about things I ca never change, especially when it comes to my soulmate.Cause tomorrow is not guaranteed.
This are the lyrics;
"Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - If We Were Vampires"
It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
It's not your hands, searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
And give you every second I can find
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
