RE: Down in The Valley - HIVE Open Mic Week 10 - Slow Down

in GEMS5 years ago (edited)

Feeling so grateful for you in my life, brother, and this way of connecting virtually, through sharing songs. Your friendship feels like good medicine to me at this moment. I really appreciate you for the silence you introduce in the beginning. And the song is just the right fit for where I'm at in life at this moment. Yeah, I think your mention of this song's origin is really significant too—the slow rhythm of plantation life.

For me personally, I've been feeling a desire to show support for the #blacklivesmatter movement, and I haven't found clarity yet on how best to do that. And now, through your song, I'm able to go there with my heart and connect compassionately with those struggling through racism and similar injustices of today and yesterday. And I can feel the medicine in the melody, which was likely felt by every voice who ever sang or heard this song. Feels important that you sing it, and I hear it, and we feel it. And maybe through this song and the way it resonates, we take one step closer to Harmony, Love, Truth, and Justice in this world.

Thank you for joining in and enjoying Hive Open Mic

Wow Cabe Im not really sure what to say here this heartfelt comment almost brought a tear to my eye...

Im not used to getting feedback on the videos I make.Sometimes they get a decent payout and that's normally the only feedback I get.

I appreciate you for taking the time each week to give thoughtful feedback about my open mic entries.It means alot more to read those than to get a payout.

Thanks alot for this!
