Hola Hive Music Lovers!

Another week, another theme, and this week’s beautiful theme is ‘Emotions’ chosen by our spotlight artist @sunsethunter. An emotion is a feeling that might be caused by your environment or the people you're with, such as love, happiness, fear, anger, or hatred. It is our warning system that alerts us about what is going on around us and in our lives. Emotions keep us on track by ensuring that our decisions are influenced by more than just 'knowing.'

This week, I chose Alanis Morisette's Hand In My Pocket as I find it fitting for this week's theme. The lyrics emphasize that we, humans, are never just a thing; rather, we are made up of all emotions and behaviours at all stages of our life. She compares this with the idea of our hands, one hand being in the pocket that is inactive and disengaged while the other hand is active and engaged with the world.

Other than 'Ironic,' Hand in My Pocket is one of her best songs, at least from my perspective. The lyrics are brilliantly worded in contrast. I find it optimistic as well because it reminds us near the end of the song that despite life's uncertainties and whatever emotions are locked up inside of us, especially the not good ones, we must always try to look on the bright side. That there is always, always a good side to every circumstance. Then things won't seem that horrible after all.

Song Title: Hand In My Pocket
By: Alanis Morissette
Lyrics Source: here

Lyrics

I'm broke, but I'm happy
I'm poor, but I'm kind
I'm short, but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high, but I'm grounded
I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk, but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired, but I'm working, yeah
I care, but I'm restless
I'm here, but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette

And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a peace sign

I'm free, but I'm focused
I'm green, but I'm wise
I'm hard, but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad, but I'm laughing
I'm brave, but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick, but I'm pretty, baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
Well, I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing a piano
And what it all comes down to my friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

I hope you liked my cover fellow hive music lovers.
Thank you @hiveopenmic!

😊😍

Hola, @chichi18, me gustó mucho esta canción, se refleja el ser humano con sus contradicciones, y cómo siempre hay un punto de esperanza al cual asirse, y siempre podemos encontrar algo bueno en nuestras vidas por más circunstancias adversas que podamos estar viviendo. Eso, con respecto a la canción. Con respecto a tu interpretación, disfruté tu manera de tocar la guitarra y tu hermosa y muy afinada voz. Gracias por compartir, mil bendiciones, éxito en el evento.

Hello, @ chichi18, I really liked this song, it reflects the human being with its contradictions, and how there is always a point of hope to cling to, and we can always find something good in our lives despite more adverse circumstances that we may be experiencing. That, regarding the song. Regarding your interpretation, I enjoyed your way of playing the guitar and your beautiful and very in tune voice. Thank you for sharing, a thousand blessings, success in the event.

I could feel the emotion from this song, people feel emotion in different ways but we should always try to know how to deal with our emotions and be happy

nice presentation from you...

Me gusto mucho tu interpretación, tienes una voz con un carisma nato y una afinación constante. Pero tal vez deberías practicar un poco las posiciones de los acordes y la fuerza de tus dinámicas al rasguear.

Omg you are soo cuute! The way you talk, with such big humble feeling and then, you start playing from the bottom of your heart. THat's the only matters, technique, be a virtuoso, a "pro", that doesn't matter, music is about feelings and you did an awesome job on this one!

So, you are singing here in Hive Open Mic, too. This is my first time hearing your voice. Sort of raspy but cool, could also be good for rocks songs. Great! 🥳
