▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Hi friends,
I am @chosenfingers. For this week's HIVE OPEN MIC tagged "NICE WORDS", I am dropping my cover of Bob Marley's REDEMPTION SONG.

I grew up listening to good reggae and blues vibes with my Father. I remember listening to the likes of Bob Marley, Lucky dube, Eric Donaldson, Peter Tosh and many others. Thanks to this early exposure because it formed my sound foundation in music and also strengthened my music passion and growth. I play the guitar today because I saw Bob Marley passionately play the guitar and sing. He became someone I looked up to while growing up.
LONG LIVE MY LEGEND!

Gone are those days when the music we hear have nice and beautiful words. Listening to Redemption song by Bob Marley always reminded me that I am solely responsible for freeing my mind.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.

Join me as I sing this beautiful Evergreen song.

lYRICS:

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Woah, have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom

Amazing song and amazing you, @chosenfingers. You have chosen a beautiful song for this week, wow, I think it suits the topic perfectly, and your performance is outstanding!!
One question, in the end, the echo effect is added as you wanted? AS if yes, it turned out cool, like a choir singing, with a bit of delay though hahahha, but it was cool ;)

Thanks to your friend @starstrings01 for helping out with the video 🙌

Thanks alot @mipiano for your kind words and encouragement.
I am glad you enjoyed listening to it.

Yes, the echo was added intentionally but I guess it didn't really work out well as planned. I will put that in check next time.

Thanks for your awesome feedback. Much love😍

I never heard this song before!!! I love it - and love your sweet face while you were jamming with it from the beginning.

wow.... wow... WOW.

your number #1 fan just got even more #1 hahahahahaha

You really have gotten more comfortable with the camera quickly. You performed this better!!! and you really got into this song!!!! wowwwwwwwwwwwww... you really did a great job!

but.... now here is some small criticism... I noticed the echo like @mipiano also...

I know what you were trying to do - but, it should be closer in alignment. double up on the sound more accurately, see? If you need help with some apps that help - let me know! I have one that works very well! then it will sound really nice to hear your voice doubled! :)

but you need to tighten that up only and it would even be BETTER! but this is how we grow - right???

finding ways to improve - new things to try - enjoying growth!

that is just a VERY small criticism for an EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE

I'm so proud of you!!!!! you did great and I could REALLY tell that this song was so favored by you! :)

love, from your #1 fan hehehehe

@jaydr??? saw that you entered PYPT late today hehehe oh no! try again for next week??? I will be there next week! bring @chosenfingers along too hehehehe

and @jaydr - did you have a new song this week??? tag me!! don't forget to tag me hehehehe

careful that you don't step on @kenechukwu97, I hear he likes to try to following my shadow steps.

I think he's hoping I'll drop some chicken and he can get it before Hobo

You all keep trolling my brother..

Speaking of Chickens.. I just recalled you didnt celebrate the Thanksgiving. But if there are chickens anywhere, its never too late for me to be hopeful for it too.. I hope!

Always glad to hear from you, my number 1 fan @dreemsteem 🕺

I am surprised you have not heard this song before though. Don't you like reggae music?

Yeah, I am getting more comfortable by the day, thanks to you and other community members for your unwavering support and encouragement😍

Yeah, I tried using echo to make my voice louder but I guess it didn't turn out so well. I will definitely work on this part next time.

Definitely, I am up for growth and finding new ways to improve.

@dreemsteem please I need help with those apps you mentioned. I'd be really glad to learn more from you.
