Hello my brothers and sisters, greetings and blessings to us all. This week, Hive Open Mic reverberates with the vibrant theme of “Afritune”. I, Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu, enthusiastically participated in enlivening this event with a cover of Eddy Grant's “Gimme Hope Joanna”.

Image source

“Gimme Hope Joanna” is an anti-apartheid song written by Eddy Grant in 1988, during the apartheid era in South Africa. The song carries a message of hope for change and freedom. Eddy Grant voiced his sorrow for the injustices that occurred at that time and expressed his hope that the situation could change for the better.

The theme of “Afritune” itself reminds us of the power of African music in voicing the spirit of struggle and change. African music has been an important tool in fighting oppression and injustice, as seen in the song “Gimme Hope Joanna”.

For me, this song is not just a song. It's a statement. A hope that is echoed in the midst of the flow of life that sometimes feels heavy. “Gimme Hope Joanna” is about struggle, about finding light in the darkness, and about believing that change will come. The song's message is powerful and relevant, especially in this day and age. We all need hope, we all need faith that a better future can be achieved together.

I chose this song because of the strong resonance it exudes. In “Gimme Hope Joanna”, we hear the voice of courage and the desire to achieve freedom and justice. Through music, we can build bridges and unite hearts, just like Eddy Grant does in this song. Hopefully, this cover will inspire us all to keep fighting and finding hope in the midst of adversity.

Thank you, Hive Open Mic, for this valuable opportunity.

Well Jo'anna she runs a country

Gimme hope, Jo'anna

I hear she make all the golden money

She's got supporters in high up places

Even the preacher who works for Jesus

Greetings Vibes community. I am Zein Grind, from @indonesiabersatu. It's a pleasure to participate in Vibes Music Competition Week 20. This time, I want to cover the song Untitled by Simple Plan. By the way, have you ever felt hopeless? A moment where hope seems to have vanished and you feel trapped in darkness. Maybe you've felt it, or maybe you've seen it in someone close to you. That feeling is clearly depicted in Simple Plan's “Untitled”. The song seems to tell a story about someone who is trapped in a cycle of loss and disappointment.

I myself often feel connected to this song. It reminds me of the times when I felt helpless and didn't know where to go. Moments where I felt isolated and unheard. Yet, in the midst of that feeling, there's a subtle beat that tells me that I'm not the only one who feels this way. There are many people out there who struggle with the same feelings. And maybe music, especially this song, can be a bridge to unite us in a common feeling.

I cover and sing this song not only to express my love for this song, but also to invite us all to find the light in the midst of darkness. Hopefully, this song can serve as a reminder that we are not alone in our life struggles. Remember, that behind the sadness and disappointment, there is always hope waiting to be found. Hopefully this song can give you a little peace and encouragement to keep going.

I open my eyes

And I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me

I'm sick of this life

Everybody's screaming

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered

Greetings Hive Open Mic Community. I'm Zein Grind, from @indonesiabersatu. It's great to be back singing at #OpenMic week 230. This week, the theme is “The Crazy Week”, and I was really inspired to sing with this theme.

To me, “The Crazy Week” is when we dare to seek real happiness. Five days a week is a boring routine, but weekend is when we can do something extraordinary.

Weekend is the most anticipated day of the week. It's time to break away from the boring routine and seek simple happiness. The crazy week is not about doing crazy things. It's about finding the freedom to choose what makes me happy.

Usually I'll go sightseeing somewhere fun, sometimes I'll take my friends to enjoy delicious food in an amazing place, sometimes I'll just laze around at home watching anime movies. Weekend is my chance to fill my life with things that make me happy in living life. To get rid of the burden of life for a moment and enjoy happiness even in a simple way. So, I always welcome The Crazy Week at the end of the week with excitement.

Get ready to feel the energy of “The Crazy Week” through my voice in the song “Gila-Gilaan” by The Changcuters. I hope this song can entertain you all. Thank you for listening! May your “The Crazy Week” be filled with happiness.

Gila gilaan bersama teman teman

Gila gilaan

Turun kejalan mencari keramaian

Going crazy with friends

Crazy crazy

Down the street looking for a crowd

Greetings Hive Open Mic Community. I am Zein Grind, from @indonesiabersatu. It's a pleasure to be back at the #OpenMic event for week 229. The theme for this week is "Photograph". So, I performed a cover of the song "Good Riddance" by Green Day, released in 1997 on the album Nimrod.

One of the main charms of the song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" is the message of nostalgia and appreciating moments in life contained in its lyrics. This song has inspired me to reflect on the past, reminisce about important moments, and understand the value of every life experience. In the journey of life, we will undoubtedly experience various moments, whether joyful moments or perhaps less pleasant ones.

However, if there is something that has the power to capture and freeze those precious moments, then the answer is photograph. Photograph is not just about taking pictures, but it is also an art that can encapsulate emotions, stories, and memories in each snapshot. Through the camera lens, we can preserve happy glances, genuine smiles, warm togetherness, and self-reflection behind every moment we go through.

Those photos then become a kind of time traveler that takes us back to sweet memories of the past. A visual stroke that helps us reflect, smile, or perhaps be stunned, remembering how valuable every second captured is. Maybe, photograph can become a loyal companion that accompanies our journey in life. A window to the past that is always open, providing warmth and strength from the beautiful memories we hold. And who knows, one day those photos will be silent witnesses to the life story we have lived.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

It's something unpredictable

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind

It's something unpredictable

Song: Green Day

Hello everyone, Greetings and blessings. I am Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu. I am delighted to participate once again in the Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week-19. Today, I present a cover song titled "I Have A Dream," originally by ABBA released in 1979. It was popularized again by Westlife in 1999.

Within the dark corners of our hearts, there lies a seed of dreams that always shines, as if calling out to us to pursue them. Like the soft yet meaningful melody in the song "I Have a Dream," we are reminded that every soul has the potential to fulfill hidden dreams.

Dreams are the guiding stars in our journey through the darkness of life. Our dreams are the source of light behind the dark clouds, guiding us through tough times and challenges. In the winding path of life filled with obstacles, dreams are the breath of hope that continues to burn within us.

The message embedded in the song "I Have a Dream" teaches us to never doubt the power of our dreams. Nurture strong belief and fiery spirit, because each of our dreams leads us to a more meaningful purpose. Believe in yourself, in the unlimited potential within you.

Remember that in every dark night, there is a dawn peeking from beyond the horizon. Keep moving forward, hold on tightly to those dreams, because in the end, our most beautiful dreams will come true. Let this song be a reminder that strengthens us, that we have the courage, strength, and determination to make all dreams a reality.

I hope that the cover song I sing can provide encouragement and inspiration to anyone who listens, to keep fighting and believe in the power of dreams in navigating through life.

I have a dream, a song to sing

I believe in angels

I have a dream, a fantasy

I believe in angels

Hello everyone, Greetings and blessings. I am Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu. It's a pleasure for me to participate in the Hive Open Mic event, now in its 228th week. With the theme "Song of Freedom," I feel compelled to bring the voice of struggle with a Punk Rock spirit. The song Buruh Tani is the song I have chosen for my participation in this week's Hive Open Mic event. For me, this is not just a song, but also a manifestation of the lives and struggles of the working class.

"Song of Freedom" often carries strong messages about human rights, peace, and freedom of expression. Music has the power to convey important messages and motivate listeners to think deeper about the meaning of freedom. "Song of Freedom" is a powerful medium to inspire, remind, and unite people in the spirit of unity and justice. Songs about freedom often become symbols of struggle and hope in situations where one's freedom is limited.

Since Marjinal released the song "Buruh Tani," this song has become a symbol of courage and resistance for the working class. In fact, "Buruh Tani" has been adopted as an anthem of struggle by students during demonstrations. For me, "Buruh Tani" is a voice for the unheard and a call to unite in the struggle and liberation of the oppressed people.

In covering this song, my goal is not just to sing a song, but also to voice justice, dignity, and freedom for all the workers and farmers, and those who are submerged in injustice. I hope that the message and meaning contained in this song can be felt by everyone. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share this song of freedom here. May it inspire all of us to continue fighting for true freedom.

Buruh tani, mahasiswa, kaum miskin kota

Hari-hari esok adalah milik kita

Marilah kawan, mari kita kabarkan

Dibawah kuasa tirani

Farm workers, students, urban poor

Tomorrow is ours

Come friends, let's spread the word

Under the power of tyranny

Hello friends! Today I participated again in the weekly Hive Open Mic event which has entered its 27th week with an interesting theme, "The Power of Kiss". This weekly event is an opportunity for all of us to share our talents and love for music, by performing songs according to the specified theme. So, I decided to contribute by singing a cover song, "Lady Rose" from my favorite Indonesian band, Superman Is Dead. This song was written and sung by Jrx. A drummer and founder of the band Superman Is Dead. I present my performance today and hope to convey the meaning and emotion of this song to all of you.

In discussing today's theme about kissing, in my country it is still considered a fairly taboo thing to discuss. Even if done in public, it is considered impolite. In fact, kissing is the most intimate form of non-verbal communication. Through the touch of our lips, we can convey feelings of love, warmth, and care to our loved ones without having to say it in words. In addition, kissing can also strengthen the emotional bond between two individuals and create a deep sense of trust and comfort.

Can you stay a little while

Put the rose on your hair

I can sing a thousand song

Put the rose on your hair

When you fall to my arms

You're the heart of the crown

Let me say this for one last time

You're the one

Lyric Source by Genius

For me, music is the best way to convey feelings and emotions that are difficult to express in words. Through the song "Lady Rose", I hope to inspire you to feel the power of music to touch your heart and create a strong bond. Thank you for taking the time to watch my performance. I hope that this song can also bring encouragement and happiness to all of you.

In the production process of this cover song, I used Karaoke instruments from Karaoke Indonesia Trending on Youtube. I also used Adobe Audition to edit the Audio and used Capcut to edit the video. Below this post, you can also listen to the original version of the Lady Rose song.

Hello everyone, Greetings and blessings. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu. I am delighted to participate in the Vibes Web3 Music Competition, now in its 18th week. Today, I performed a cover of the song "Macy's Day Parade" by Green Day.

In this song, Green Day references the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, an iconic American consumer event. I really admire this song because it holds deep lyrics and messages about consumerism and materialism in society. To me, this song serves as a warning about the dangers of the consumerist culture that increasingly impacts our values in life.

Image Source

Consumerism and materialism can have detrimental effects on society, such as triggering unhealthy competition, increasing levels of anxiety and depression, and distorting the true meaning of happiness and satisfaction. The escalating culture of shopping and material possessions has ensnared many individuals in a cycle of dissatisfaction and unending disappointment.

The song "Macy's Day Parade" calls for a reevaluation of the values that are truly important in life, away from the hustle and bustle of materialistic pursuits. The critical message from Green Day reminds us of the importance of returning to the essence of true life, where happiness is not measured by how much we own but by the meaningful relationships we have with others and the world around us.

Today's the Macy's Day parade

Give me something that I need

When I was a kid I thought

Give me something that I need

What's the consolation prize?

And I'm thinking 'bout the only road

Hello dear Hive Open Mic brothers and sisters. Greetings and blessings to all. I am Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu band, back at the weekly #OpenMic event which has entered its 226th week with the theme "My Prayer". This is a very interesting theme for me.

Image Source

For this week, I sang a cover song called Munajat Cinta written by Ahmad Dhani, who is a member of the Indonesian band The Rock. The lyrics tell the story of someone who feels lonely every night because no one loves him. Like a rose that is wilting because no one is watering it.

The lyrics in the song are like my story when I was a teenager. Precisely when I was in high school. When I was in high school, I often felt alone. My classmates already had a partner, while I did not. Envy often enveloped me. The girl I liked didn't pay attention to me at all. The difference in wealth and vehicles further complicated the situation. The song of "Munajat Cinta" really reflected my prayer at that time, begging God to give me a lover who accepted me for who I was. I hope my participation in this week's Hive Open Mic can share this story with everyone.

Malam ini ku sendiri

Hati ini selalu sepi

Tuhan kirimkanlah aku

Mawar ini semakin layu

Tuhan kirimkanlah aku

Tonight I am alone

This heart is always lonely

God send me

This rose is wilting

God send me

Thank you for watching and listening to the cover song that I sang today. In making this cover video, I used the backsound from Lawaskustik on Youtube site (You can see it here). Below this post, you can also see the original version of the song from The Rock band. See you in the next post, greetings and blessings.

Hello brothers and sisters of Hive Open Mic who remain enthusiastic. Greetings and blessings to all. I'm Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu band, back at the weekly event #OpenMic which has now reached its 225th week, with the theme "Sweet Dreams". This theme is very intriguing to me.

For this week, I bring my original song titled Anarchy Dreams. It's about the dreams of anarchists, where everyone is equal, free, and there is no discrimination based on ethnicity, race, or religion. I truly believe that a world full of love and peace is truly possible. Where we can all live together without boundaries that separate us. Through the song Anarchy Dreams, I really want to create a harmonious atmosphere, where freedom and unity are crucial.

In the world that I and the anarchists dream of, there are no longer differences that separate people. Everyone is treated fairly and equally, free from discrimination based on ethnicity, race, and religion. There, love and peace become the chain that binds all of humanity. I often imagine a society dominated by goodness, solidarity, and selfless cooperation. The voices that have been marginalized for so long are brought to the forefront, giving new meaning to humanity. And behind that shadow, there lies hope for a better and more harmonious world, where every individual is valued without exception.

Kita bentangkan pelukan

Dibawah langit yang sama

Anarchy Dreams

Tanpa label, tanpa bias

We spread our embrace

Under the same sky

Anarchy Dreams

Without labels, without bias

For the song production process, I used an electric bass, condenser mic, and a Dolphin 2-channel sound card. For software, I used FL Studio to create the drum sounds. Then I used Adobe Audition to record and edit the audio. And in the final stage, I used Capcut to edit the video.

I hope this song can be an encouragement for all of us to continue to unite and fight for justice and unity. Let's unite in love and eternal peace. Thank you very much for listening to my original song, I hope you enjoy it. Greetings and blessings.
