Hive open Mic Week 94-Redemption song by Bob Marley (Cover)
In October 2020, there was a shoot-out in Lagos Nigeria at Leki toll gate. People died and many were injured. The government of Nigeria tried to cover it up and said that some unknown forces had highjacked the protest.
We waited for about a year and the government is still yet to hold those responsible, but at least investigations have started to look into the matter.
Going back to how things were, it was a beautiful protest. We were organized and we made sure no one law faulting the law. We would be no better than the government we were fighting against if we did.
We tried to get the attention of the UN by protesting for 100 days but they managed to stop that by killing innocent people on the street.
Waiting
As John Mayer said, We'll keep waiting on the world to change.
I wish the abuse of power ended in government, you wouldn't see some kind of evils being perpetrated in broad daylight.
Just recently a Nigerian Musician was caught on camera fighting a Cab driver who was rude to him and the artist demanded that he kneel down and beg him. When the cab driver refused he stomped on the man's car windows and that's what caused the fight.
My art
I look like I'm yawning but I'm angry.
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 fullfil 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 fullfill 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

En octubre de 2020, hubo un tiroteo en Lagos, Nigeria, en la puerta de peaje de Leki. La gente murió y muchos resultaron heridos. El gobierno de Nigeria trató de encubrirlo y dijo que algunas fuerzas desconocidas habían secuestrado la protesta.
Esperamos alrededor de un año y el gobierno aún no ha responsabilizado a los responsables, pero al menos han comenzado las investigaciones para analizar el asunto.
Volviendo a cómo estaban las cosas, fue una protesta hermosa. Estábamos organizados y nos aseguramos de que ninguna ley criticara la ley. Si lo hiciéramos, no seríamos mejores que el gobierno contra el que luchábamos.
Tratamos de llamar la atención de la ONU protestando durante 100 días, pero lograron detener eso matando a personas inocentes en la calle.
Espera
Como dijo John Mayer, seguiremos esperando que el mundo cambie.
Ojalá terminara el abuso de poder en el gobierno, no se vería algún tipo de maldad perpetrada a plena luz del día.
Recientemente, un músico nigeriano fue captado por la cámara peleando con un taxista que fue grosero con él y el artista le exigió que se arrodillara y le rogara. Cuando el taxista se negó, pisoteó las ventanas del auto del hombre y eso fue lo que provocó la pelea.
Mi arte
Parezco bostezar, pero estoy enojado.
Letra
Piratas viejos, sí, ellos me secuestraron;
Me vendieron a los barcos de mercaderes,
Minutos despues de que me tomaron
Del pozo sin fondo.
Pero mi mano se hizo fuerte
Por la mano del Todopoderoso.
Avanzamos en esta generación
Triunfantemente.
¿No ayudarás a cantar
Estas canciones de libertad?
Porque lo único que he tenido:
Canciones de redención;
Canciones de redención.
Emancípense de la esclavitud mental;
Nadie más que nosotros puede liberar nuestras mentes.
No le teman a la energía atómica,
Porque ninguno de ellos puede parar el tiempo.
¿Por cuánto tiempo deben matar a nuestros profetas,
Mientras nos hacemos a un lado y miramos? ¡Ooh!
Algunos dicen que es tan sólo una parte de ello:
Tenemos que cumplir lo que dice el libro.

The freedom never dies in our mouth bro..
may the almighty keep strengthening your hands bro
You could do an opera now bro.. hehehe
Saw it on whatsapp.. glad to see it here to bro
Strong voice too bro.. you kept the pitch at the height..
#redemption
Lol...thanks...I will be the opener for your opera when you start
Lol...thanks bro!!
And about the fight for freedom...It never ends until we get treated fairly...Thanks for stopping by...
Welcome Bro. Glad you still find time to participate.. 👏🏽👏🏽
Hola @ebingo
I agree with @jaydr, your voice kept the pitch at the height well!! I also compliment your piano playing :) Did you get a sustain pedal or did you use some reverb effect?
Thank you...I wish my voice came out better anyway...I felt like the piano overshadowed my voice.
Hope to get pedals soon. I used the reverb effect from the keyboard...glad you noticed it. A pedal will take my playing to the next level.
Yeah, I think a pedal would be a better option than the reverb. But, not every keyboard have the option for a sustain pedal. What model do you have?
It a Yamaha PSR-160
Unfortunately you can't connect a sustain pedal to that model... So yeah, reverb, maybe just adjust the reverb not be me too much :)
Arhh...hurts...I'll make due with that.
I found a music studio around my area...its beautiful
take a look
It's beautiful indeed!! How cool it would be if you could use it for recording, right? 😊
Yeah, I have contacted customer care.
Cool!!!
I hope you can make it :) Fingers crossed!!! 😇
Its not cheap...they said its $30 to record...the they'll make a studio video for $40...
I might try just a recording then use a phone to make a video
Yeah, not cheap, but depends on what you would need it. If you would need a promotional video for yourself, and promote yourself as a musician in your area for gigs, for example, I would do a professional studio recording.
Oh yeah...that makes sense...and actually changes my choice of music too.
I was just working on a promotional video for Hive.
My schedule is very rigid these days anyway, I'm not sure I'd be able to make it to an occasion on a weekday morning for example.
I'd really love to see more artist feeling confident try out Hive open mic.
This thing about the shooting and that they are just investigating to see if they can find the culprits, is just like what they did in Venezuela Bro, you will see that one day on TV they will come out saying that they already have them and they are people who lend themselves or force them to participate in these media shows, then they will say they were paid by someone who opposes the government... that's how they act 😟
Music will always be the closest thing to freedom, you did a great version of redemption song, I congratulate you Man, I liked that you sang it in a different tone than the original, it was more pop and it sounds great, blessings dear Brother and happy weekend 🙌😀🔥🎙️🎹🎶❤️🌟🍻💥💫💯
Very disgusting way of behaving. They don't consider the common human anymore...A new election is coming up in the country and its scary to think about what might become of this country afterward.
Thank you, I just played it as it came to mind. I am glad you and others liked it. I am planning on getting a guitar next month so I can start making content with it. Sounds fun right?
That's right Bro, hey here in Colombia elections are also approaching and there is fear for a presidential candidate who is advised by the Venezuelan dictatorship, ahhh what a nuisance and how politics sucks 😑😶😫
Not only fun Bro, that's ¡GREAT! I congratulate you, I'll keep an eye on your guitar then, and what you do musically with it, How cool Man 👊😎🔥🎙️🎹🎶❤️🌟🍻💥💯
Great! As always you bring us quality and pure talent. I imagine you in a concert with a lot of people singing and playing the piano, being great. Congratulations!!!
Awwn...Thank you...You always make me feel so good about myself. I am always grateful when you stop by.
Hello Bro, how's going?
Is a real pleasure to see you, I didn´t know you play piano, you do it great.
