Hello everyone, this is Afritunes week 181. I'm Icelover, and the title of my cover song is Show Me by Joeboy. The song was released in 2021 as part of Joeboy's debut album.

Joeboy's songs have always resonated deeply with me, and this track stands out as one of my top three favorites. The first time I heard it, the lyrics and the beat truly captivated me, and I've been vibing to it ever since. It's amazing how music can evoke such strong emotions and create a lasting connection.

The song beautifully captures the essence of love, as the artist conveys a deep longing for a romantic connection. These feelings are heartfelt and relatable, resonating with the emotions we all experience in our pursuit of love. Connection where he asks his lover to show that she reciprocates his feelings.

The lyrics go further to indicate a plea for affirmation and commitment in the relationship.

Do listen and enjoy

Hello Hive Open Mic, it's week 281. And this is Icelover, the title of my cover song for this week is "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter. The song was released in the year 2024 on April 11.

When I first came across this song it captured my heart instantly with the style the artist used to sing. This song undeniably gives me vacation vibes. It’s exactly the kind of music I want to listen to while traveling, as it allows me to escape the pressures of work, school, and any responsibilities, enabling me to relax and truly unwind.

The song beautifully reflects the artist's journey of attraction and confidence, resonating with listeners as she playfully acknowledges her irresistible charm. It invites everyone to recognize and celebrate their own unique qualities, fostering a sense of connection and understanding.

Espresso has a different meaning depending on the context. Still, in this song, we can say it refers to the intensity of the artist's emotion or the energizing effect of a romantic love interest.

Do listen and enjoy thank you.

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

My give-a-fucks are on vacation

And I got this one boy, and he won't stop callin'

When they act this way, I know I got 'em

Too bad your ex don't do it for ya

Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya

Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya

(Yes) I know, I Mountain Dew it for ya

(Yes) that morning coffee, brewed it for ya

(Yes) one touch and I brand-newed it for ya (oh)

Holy shit

Oh, he looks so cute wrapped 'round my finger

My twisted humor makes him laugh so often

My honey bee, come and get this pollen

Too bad your ex don't do it for ya

Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya

Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya

(Yes) I know, I Mountain Dew it for ya

Hello Afritunes, This is week 180, and it's yours truly @Icelover. The title of my cover song for this week is "Don't Call Me Back" by Joeboy featuring Mayorkun. The song was released in 2019.

The lyrics resonate deeply, capturing the bittersweet journey of moving on from a past relationship. The artist conveys a heartfelt message, expressing his desire to let go and move forward, aggressively asking his former lover not to reach out again. It beautifully encapsulates themes of heartbreak and the struggle to find closure, reminding us that healing often requires leaving the very source of pain to move towards getting better.

I hope this song touches you guys the way it has me

Listen and enjoy

Thanks.

Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of Vibes Web3 Music Competition, week 39 to be specific. It's yours truly, icelover, and for entry this week, my presentation will be a song cover from The Greatest Showman, titled Never Enough, performed by Loren Allred and sung by Charity Hallett Barnum.

The song explores the theme of self-doubt, where the singer struggles with the feelings of not being enough for her significant other. The singer goes further to say that despite her doubts, she would give her husband her unwavering support, which is a display of her love and devotion towards him.

The song Never Enough has resonated with lots of people worldwide and I am one of them because of the strong vocals and emotional lyrics which made it stand out among other tracks of the movie.

Do listen and enjoy thank you.

LYRICS:

I'm trying to hold my breath

Let it stay this way

Can't let this moment end

You set off a dream in me

Getting louder now

Can you hear it echoing?

Take my hand

Will you share this with me?

'Cause darling, without you

All the shine of a thousand spotlights

All the stars we steal from the night sky

Will never be enough

Never be enough

Towers of gold are still too little

These hands could hold the world but it'll

Never be enough

Never be enough

For me

Never, never

Never, never

Never, for me

For me

Never enough

Never enough

Never enough

For me

For me

For me

All the shine of a thousand spotlights

All the stars we steal from the night sky

Will never be enough

Never be enough

Towers of gold are still too little

These hands could hold the world but it'll

Never be enough

Never be enough

For me

Never, never

Never, never

Never, for me

For me

Never enough

Never, never

Never enough

Never, never

Never enough

For me

For me

For me

For me

Hello everyone, and welcome to Hive Open Mic week 276. My name is Icelover, and today I’m excited to share my cover of "A Million Dreams" from the beloved movie, The Greatest Showman.

It is a standout song from the musical film released in 2017 and performed by Ziv Zaifman, Hugh Jackman, and Michelle Williams.

The song revolves around the actor's imagination and determination to create a world of wonder.

Despite facing criticism from people around him, his visionary dream and aspiration for his circus were strong. I find this deeply relatable, as many of us have dreams and visions that may not be recognized or understood by those around us. It's a reminder that just because our aspirations aren’t always visible to others, it doesn’t mean they aren’t valid or achievable. Like the actor in the song, we can choose to rise above the negativity and surround ourselves with those who support and inspire us.

I hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as I enjoy performing it. Thank you for being here!

LYRICS:

I close my eyes and I can see

The world that′s waiting up for me that I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one's been before, but it feels like home

pre-chorus

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I′ve lost my mind

I don't care, I don't care if they call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

chorus

′Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the world I see

A million dreams is all it′s gonna take

Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

verse

There′s a house we can build

Every room inside is filled with things from far away

Special things I compile

Each one there to make you smile on a rainy day

pre-chorus

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we've lost our minds

See, I don′t care, I don't care if they call us crazy

Run away to a world that we design

chorus

′Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

bridge

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

We may be right, we may be wrong

But I wanna bring you along

To the world I see

To the world we close our eyes to see

We close our eyes to see

chorus

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it′s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we′re gonna make

The lyrics of this song resonate deeply, expressing a heartfelt longing and devotion to a loved one. It beautifully captures the desire to be near someone special, likening that connection to a place of dreams.

Hello, everyone, welcome to HIVE OPEN MIC, the community of endless possibilities. This is WEEK 273 and I remain the very same Icelover, ready to share a heartfelt song cover titled "You'll Be in My Heart" by Phil Collins. The song was released in 1999 and it was part of the song that was played in the famous cartoon Tarzan.

Tarzan has always held a special place in my heart, and I believe many can relate to its touching storyline and enchanting music. Among all the songs, "You'll Be in My Heart" resonates deeply with me as it perfectly reflects the emotions woven throughout the narrative of the film.

The lyrics of the song express an unconditional love and support of a parent for their child.

They remind us that love transcends physical or genetic differences, creating unbreakable bonds.

I invite you all to listen and embrace the warmth of this song. Enjoy!

LYRICS:

Come stop the cryin′, it'll be alright

Just take my hand, hold it tight

I will protect you from all around you

I will be here, don′t you cry

For one so small, you seem so strong

My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm

This bond between us can't be broken

I will be here, don't you cry

chorus

′Cause you′ll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on, now and forevermore (oh)

Yes, you′ll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be here in my heart always

verse

Why can′t they understand the way we feel?

They just don't trust what they can′t explain

I know we're different, but deep inside us

We're not that different at all (we′re not that different at all)

chorus

And you′ll be in my heart (oh)

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on, now and forevermore (oh)

bridge

Don′t listen to them, 'cause what do they know?

We need each other to have and to hold

They′ll see in time, I know

When destiny calls you, you must be strong

I may not be with you, but you got to hold on

They'll see in time, I know

Show them together

chorus

′Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on, now and forevermore (oh)

You′ll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You′ll be here in my heart always

outro

Always

Just look over your shoulder (I'll be with you)

Just look over your shoulder (I′ll be there for you always)

(Always) just look over your shoulder

Just look over your shoulder

I'll be there always

Hello everyone, welcome to AFRI-TUNES week 173. It's always a pleasure to connect with you, and I’m your host, Icelover. I will be singing a cover of "Spending" by Johnny Drille, which was released in 2023 as part of his Hard Guy Confession EP Album.

The songwriter in the person of Johnny Drille expresses his willingness to spend lavishly on the one he loves, which shows his appreciation and devotion to his significant other.

In the lyrics, he sings about his cheerful giving nature, and how he's ready to go to great lengths to fulfill his lover's wishes or desires.

I really resonate with this song because, like many, I long for a partner who embodies that same spirit of generosity and love. It’s touching to see someone who genuinely believes in love and understands that spending time and resources on someone you care for can be a powerful expression of affection.

Do listen and learn the idea of sharing and spending on your loved ones—it’s a meaningful way to show how much they truly mean to you.

Hello everyone, welcome to AFRI-TUNES week 172. I remain yours truly, Icelover. I will be singing a cover of Rush by Ayra Star. The song was released in 2022 as part of her debut studio album.

How I feel about the song Rush is linked with how I feel about the artist, the song is about finding one's identity and confidence and I feel like Ayra Star found her's the moment she stepped into the music world. And also after listening to this song, it helped me to find my identity and confidence that I am a big fan of the artist there isn't much to say cause the song says it all.
