Today I decided to take a more freestyle format and recorded a video of myself singing a cover of Scared to Be Lonely by Dua Lipa and Martin Garrix in the car. This song moves me for some reason. It itself poses such a philosophical question: why do we actually stay in relationships? Is it love… or the fear of being alone? I think that many people, without even saying it out loud, enter relationships for very different reasons. Sometimes it's because we're afraid of being different, or we're afraid of being alone, or we're afraid of how society perceives us, because being alone is almost considered a failure. But all of this is a kind of benefit and has nothing to do with love. I myself have never been in a relationship, because of the fear of being alone. But I've had other traumas, for example, I was made to believe in mutual magic, and then suddenly, for absolutely unknown reasons, it was broken, I was given a very big crack. Just the opposite side, it was clearly communication for selfish purposes, in particular, attempts to use and absolutely reduce the value of a person to a gender with certain physical data. And let's get back to the song, although this song is not about some kind of grief, for some reason it brought me to tears, I noticed it in the middle of the song, and I was very afraid that it would ruin the recording. There is no obvious reason, because I say this does not specifically resonate with my life experiences. Maybe because the melody is melancholic, or I don't know...

Vibes Web3 Week31 Coven on "Stari Fotografiyi" by Skryabin UA

Hello, brothers and sisters, Hivians. I am joining the Vibes music competition again week 31. In the two previous entries I performed American songs and the thing is that it feels like when singing foreign songs my voice has a completely different type of behavior and it feels like it is much weaker and the power is small, besides, the quality was deteriorating when recording. I noticed that my voice has more power on songs in my native language. And so this time I decided to experiment and sing a song in the language of the land I come from. But still everything is according to the rules of the community as far as this week's theme song is the 2000s, I chose a song that was forced in 2005 and the author of which is the singer Scriabin, maybe you have heard it before because he is quite popular in his circles. Unfortunately, he is no longer alive, but Ukrainian people still pay tribute to him every year. All his songs have always had such a rebellious and philosophical character, they always carry some kind of multifaceted essence. Often sad and scary, the songs make you think about things in the world around us and about life in general. Like this song in particular, which I present today. It is called "Old Photos", and it conveys the true essence of life so metaphorically, quite pessimistically about children's illusory dreams and rose-colored glasses, just hypocritical scales and the breakdown of this about the realities of adult life. When not everything happens as you imagined and came up with in childhood, some plans are sometimes covered with a copper basin. And when I sang that song, a few lines in it made me specifically sad and horrified. For example, about the fact that "we were waiting for the moment when the world would fall at our feet" but time stubbornly counted the years and everyone did it as they knew how. And also in the first verse there was this phrase "someone let go, someone raised up, and on someone else time gave a shit". All these words pierce so deeply and you think about your goals and what you do every day. Do you hold back until you reach that point of maximum speed at which the plane takes off? Or do you just console yourself with worthless encouragement that you are doing something for your development and success, but in reality you are standing still and maybe degrading? Where is the battle, effort, struggle, war for dreams? Come on, because the clock is ticking and it may be too late. Go! I specially tried and created subtitles for the video so that the community could understand as much as possible. I hope you like my entry. Here are the lyrics and translation of the song, I also adding here.

Original text:

***Здається, шо то було так давно,
Коли в руках тримаю цей альбом,
Нам було абсолютно все одно
Немаючи нічого мати всьо,
За гроші не купити тільки час,
Він всіх нас методично поділив,
Когось він опустив, когось підняв,
А є на кого взагалі забив.
Приспів:
Старі фотографії на стіл розклади,
Дитячі історії смішні розкажи
І справжнім друзям не забудь, подзвони
Бо добре чи зле, з тобою завжди вони
Дешеве пиво і сухе вино,
Робили нас щасливими людьми,
І ніби чудо польське радіо,
Нам відкривало той незнаний світ
Ми жили всі так ніби, то був сон
І можна бути вічно молодим,
А залишився тільки цей альбом,
А мрії розлетілися, як дим.
Приспів:
Ми грали примітивну музику,
Так чесно, що пробила би до сліз
Чекали, що прийде такий момент
Коли під ноги впаде цілий світ
Годинник вперто роки рахував,
І кожен так як міг так і зробив
І тільки у альбомі всі підряд
Ми будемо такими, як тоді.

Cover on Supreme (Robbie Williams) Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week30

I'm happy to join the 30th week of the Vibes Web3 music competition again, this time the topic is random and this time I decided to sing a cover of Robbie Williams' rhetorical song - Supreme. Robbie Williams' "Supreme" resonates deeply with me because it perfectly captures the mixture of hope and disappointment that comes with love. These foolish illusions of belief in a beautiful, pure, devoted, sublime mutual feeling eventually break down, the illusionary screen breaks and cruelty and indifference are exposed. After the hustle and bustle of racing, the efforts of fighting for something that actually has no value - at one point the rose-colored glasses finally come off and you realize that the most precious thing is worthless, and finally all of this is completely and forever buried in the ground, leaving nothing at all, scattered ashes as if nothing had happened. And so, with eyes unclouded, I walk away. Supreme reflects with bitter irony the illusion that love can cure everything. The song says, "Love will kill the pain, and love will kill the fear," like an empty promise that we repeat to ourselves to believe in it. But in reality, it's all a lie. The belief that there's can be this unbelievable high ultimate power and main point MUTUAL feeling by the name "love" - it's just an illusion that eventually crumbles. As in the song, the mad race to an imaginary ideal leads only to nothingness. Supreme doesn't glorify love, it ridicules it, showing that in the end it's nothing more than a miserable dream that evaporates.
Maybe the sound recording is not perfect but I tried my best, I hope you support me with a like, I wish everyone a good mood 🙏🏻

Maybe I maybe you (Cover) 🎤 Vibes Web3 Music Competition 🎤 Week29

Today I am making my first contribution to the competition (I was so worried that I even confused the name of the community in the video I said voice instead of Vibes🤦🏻‍♀️🤣😅) of the Vibes Web3 Week 29 community with the theme of 90s music with a song by the Scorpions group, which was founded in 1965. In general, all of their songs carry a certain deep meaning about life. This particular song that I chose was released in 2004, by the way, the year of my birth, but I hope that it will still be included in the competition because the group itself is considered retro and this style is still this type of recording is quite old. So, "Maybe I maybe you" although the melody seems quite sad, in terms of content this song carries a hopeful atmosphere, imposing such a special immersion, penetrating the soul with fragile notes that prompt the belief that we too can possibly make some contribution to this whole world, change something. Every time I listened to this song, it plunged me into such a world of reflection, and especially that powerful chorus with hard rock, it breaks so victoriously as if it were breaking through an invisible field of doubts. When I sang, I couldn't find headphones and was forced to turn on the minus on another phone so that I could hear the melody, but the phone was far enough away that the microphone didn't catch the melody and only caught my voice in the background, and therefore during editing, when I put the minus, there was some shift and sometimes it seems as if I don't fall under the melody. In fact, in the original, I seemed to fall under it, in principle, I have had a good ear for music since childhood. This is my first joining and recording, so please don't judge strictly for the imperfection of the recording and thank you for your support, dear community!
Regarding the comparison of the past weeks, I was a bit of a noob and for a very long time could not understand how the voting takes place. And only later I learned that the system on hive.blog was not working, and I was using it. The most interesting thing is that I looked through all the contributions for the 28th week, but then at the end when I wanted to vote, I screwed up again. But now I hope that next week I will finally figure out how to vote. And you know, I also wanted to add that I am so impressed by how many talented people the platform has, how much beautiful art they create, in completely different fields, both vocals and guitar, and electro, and ukuleles, and so on.
