Hello Open Mic Community it's another beautiful week
And the theme for the week is "Self love"
I thought of a unique Rendition and my mind went to the movie
"The Greatest Showman"
And Remembered Never enough 🤭
"Never Enough" is a hauntingly beautiful ballad from the critically acclaimed movie The Greatest Showman. Performed by Loren Allred, this song is a poignant expression of the human desire for validation and acceptance.

The lyrics of "Never Enough" speak to the universal longing for more – more love, more acceptance, more recognition. The song's protagonist yearns for a sense of belonging and connection, but feels perpetually stuck in a cycle of inadequacy. The chorus echoes the painful truth that no matter how hard we try, it's never enough – a sentiment that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever felt like they don't quite measure up.

The music itself is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, with a soaring melody and poignant harmonies that convey the raw vulnerability of the lyrics. The arrangement is sparse yet powerful, with a simple piano accompaniment that allows the vocal performance to take center stage.

For me, "Never Enough" represents the fragile dance between self-doubt and self-acceptance. It's a reminder that we are all works in progress, striving to find our place in the world and prove our worth to ourselves and others. This song has been a constant source of comfort and inspiration, reminding me that I am not alone in my struggles and that my voice matters.

Through my performance of "Never Enough," I aim to capture the emotional intensity and vulnerability of the original, while bringing my own unique interpretation to the song. I hope to convey the sense of longing and yearning that lies at the heart of the lyrics, and to connect with the audience on a deep and personal level. By sharing this powerful song, I hope to inspire others to embrace their own vulnerabilities and find the courage to be seen and heard.
