It's another week of the vibes web3 competition and I am pleased to participate once again.


For this week, I decided to go with the recent trending song "money" by Teni. Where she talks about the desire to have money as much as possible despite the understanding that money can't buy love, happiness, etc.

I totally agree with her because money even though money can't buy all these stuffs, it can get things that resemble them.

The importance of money is more popular than any other thing.

> They say

Money don't buy you happiness

Money can't buy you love

Money can't fill this emptiness

But I want all the money in the world

>Money don't buy you happiness

Money can't buy you love

Money don't fill this emptiness

But I want all the money in the world

>Oouuu weee

I want all the money in the world

Yeah yeah

>I'd rather be crying in a Bentley

Sipping on Hennessy

Drying all my tears with some $100 bills

>Feeling down in Fendi, sad

But I got plenty money for the pain in the world

Chilling in Ibiza just like Justin Bieber

'Cause I got the money, I don't care

>And you can put that on my Visa

Roaming like we're Caesar

You know now we global

Bitch, I'm here

>So far from where we're coming from

And we don't stop until it's done

>They say

Money don't buy you happiness

Money can't buy you love

Money can't fill this emptiness

But I want all the money in the world

>Money don't buy you happiness

Money can't buy you love

Money don't fill this emptiness

But I want all the money in the world

>Oouuu weee

I want all the money in the world

Yeah yeah

It's one of those days I wake up in high spirits and wanting to make my own music but I can't because I stretch out for my guitar and immediately remember that I am yet to get a new one and no matter how hard I try, I can't produce a melody with this guitar in this shape.

Before now, I enjoyed the liberty of owning a guitar and playing anytime and anywhere of my choice, a benefit I took for granted. That is until the guitar got spoilt.

Now I realise how true the statement "we don't value what we have, till we loose it" is because I desire to play more now that I don't have a good guitar, unlike the many days where I didn't feel like even touching the guitar let alone playing it. There were weeks where I gave out the guitar to a more enthusiastic person because I was not in the mood to play, how ironic?

Well, it's been what now? 3 months? I guess so, but my guitar has been abandoned for long. Firstly, because I fell while carrying it sometime ago and it broke and secondly because a string cut and I was in a location where I needed to make a 2 hour travel to the closest place I could get a string and I didn't have the liberty of placing an order online.

I felt I could make do with the guitar once I got a string but then I visited a friend and played his guitar, oh boy! Did I enjoy it? Definitely. And I wanted more.

That was when I realised how badly the broken box had been affecting my performances and I swore never to try to repair my own guitar again nor to even play it again. I plan to get a new one and I will do that hopefully before the year runs out but in the meantime I have to make do with visiting my friend anytime I wish to play, that would be my way of coping till I get the guitar of my choice and I can't wait to get it.

Most days when I get the itchy fingers to play, I manage to suppress the urge but with that resultant gloominess that comes with not fulfilling my desires.

As a result, these days when I get this urge, I do not attempt to suppress it but rather I quickly get my self to my friend's place where I can express myself. Thankfully he understands and is always looking forward to my visit so I end up enjoying myself with wholesomeness.

Some days, I even end up borrowing his guitar to return at a later date, he doesn't mind. What are friends for? Lol.

Anyway, like I said, I have the urge today and I need to do the needful, lest I invite the gloominess that come with unproductivity. So, off I go. See you guys later😊

Meanwhile, I wish to add this video because I love it so much. I will remember to get a shirt next time, thank you

Some songs hold a special place in our heart from the first listen and for me, this song falls into that category.

Not only do I love this melody by Christina Perri, the song helped me at a time I was having difficulty falling asleep. It became my favourite lullaby back then and even afterwards, it is still among my favourite songs.

I do hope you enjoy my presentation💖

Here is the lyrics;

Heart

Beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty and all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

The topic of the week, "Root" got me reminiscing on my favourite songs from times past. They are a whole lot but this song by Akon really felt like the one to perform.

In this thing called life, there comes a moment when you really need someone to stand in the gap for you, speak for you and help you.

If you have such a person in that moment, you can count yourself lucky but if not, you can only wish.

I already had a song planned for week 15 of vibes music competition but today happened to be one of those days when I needed someone to stand in for me, but I was let down. Making matters worse is that two people who are very dear to me failed to come to my help.

I felt so sad and on my way home, this song kept popping up in my mind and so I had a last minute change of mind and decided to sing it.

I hope you like it and that you have someone when you need someone.

Gracias!

So among many songs which this week made me look out for, I fell in love with this song "The Confession".

I hope you enjoy it.

Hey vibes😊

For this week I decided to do a cover of an old collabo between Eminem and Rihanna but I decided to perform only the rap section. I hope you guys enjoy it🎶

One of the songs themed around pain I know happen to be a rap song by Eminem. It was not easy (you know how Eminem is) but I had to give it a shot.

As the week 11 of Vibes music competition draws to an end, I had to come up with a song that reflects my current emotions. The week has been stressful and kinda sad because of situations around me. So I decided to sing a relatively sad song.

I prepared the background beat using metronome and I felt it would be nice to add it to the sound of my guitar.

Muchas Gracias!!

Hello guys, today is my birthday and since I have been practicing more with my guitar I decided to present with it today, my day😄

Although this does not follow this week's theme, I do hope you enjoy it.

It's a quite popular song we use on birthdays but I added a little twist to it cos the day was boring for me up on till i decided to do this.

Thank You
