HIVE OPEN MIC 144 / Love Song Cover
Hellooooo, Music Hivers. Especially to the amazing Hive Open Mic Community!
Another week, another chance for me to learn a song on my guitar, and for that I'd like to thank @lyon-89, who brilliantly chose 'Melodic Dose' as the theme for this week.
Sara Bareilles' 'Love Song,' released in 2007, reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent more than 40 weeks on the list. She was nominated for two Grammys for it: song of the year and best female pop performance. It was really great of her to have written such an excellent song!
I also find the song empowering as it portrays independence and progress by showing how someone loves and enjoys her own music and will not alter it for anyone. Apart from the beautiful upbeat tunes and its suitability for a beginning guitarist like me, this is why I chose this song.
Song: Love Song

Lyrics
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason
To write you a love song today, today
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you wanna hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason
To write you a love song today
Promise me, you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight my guide gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason
To write you a love song today, today
Thank You @hiveopenmic!

Oh wow, that just got better and better, it was great to see someone sing and play the guitar :)
Many thanks @tengolotodo . Appreciate you being here. 😊

Wow..you got me in awe, goosebumps all over...Really you sound amazing and your guitar play was smooth, lol makes me doubt if you're really a beginner guitarist..you played with ease and sang so well. bravo 👏
Awwww Thank you @sleemfit for your sweet words. I would have done finger styling/plucking if I were not a beginner. But on second thought should I say intermediate instead? LOL. But yeah it took me three days to practice actually. Hehehehehe
!PIZZA
Oh well maybe intermediate would do...lol this wasn't a beginner's play, oh wow 3 days...it really paid off, keep shining 💖
You too @sleemfit 🥰
It was a pleasure to hear you play even though you claim to be a beginner, you have made a lot of strides and you should be proud...Then your voice... should be on billboard charts...you are an asset here...much love
Awwww @ebingo you make me 😊. You are so kind and sweet, Thank You and a !PIZZA ♥️
