Hey there everyone, since this week is for grooving, I'm doing one of Brandy's finest 1900 grooves, “Right here”. Everytime I listen to this song, I can't help but move my body. Enjoy!

LYRICS

When you feel your heart's guarded

And you see the break started

And when the clouds have all departed

You'll be right here with me

You'll be right here with me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You'll be right here with me

When your life is going too fast

Off the train tracks, I can slow it down

Just when you think you're 'bout to turn back

Scared you might crash, I'll be your ground (Whoa)

When you feel your heart's guarded

And you see the break started

And when the clouds have all departed

You'll be right here with me

When your tears have dried from cryin'

And the world has turned silent

And when the clouds have all departed

You'll be right here with me

I'll be right here with you, you'll be right here with me

I'll be right here with you, you'll be right here with me, yeah

And when you're trapped and there's just no key

And you can't breathe, I'll breathe for you

The fire's got you down on both knees

And the walls are closing in, but I'll be breaking through

And when you feel alone, I'ma be your home

When others come and go, you know I got you

And when you feel your heart's guarded

And you see the break started

And when the clouds have all departed

You'll be right here with me (You'll see the sun)

When your tears have dried from cryin'

And the world has turned silent

And when the clouds have all departed

You'll be right here with me

Hello 👋 everyone!

It's been a long week and I hope we all had the best of it. I finally was able to put together my entry for this week, and I hope you love this cover of "Piano Man" by Brandy. I put in a lot of effort, so I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.😊

LYRICS

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for love

Do you have a request book handy I could flip through?

I do, he said "My name is Rodney, good to meet you"

"What do you wanna hear tonight?" He asked me

I said "Something I can feel inside", Ohh

"I got what you need, I know exactly

Why don't we give this a try?"

Play me a song about heartache, I promise I could sing every word (Mr. Piano Man)

Play me a song about love lost, 'cause that's another one everyone's heard

Strike up the band aww

We can have the whole world singing tonight

We can have the whole world singing tonight

Come on, we can have the whole world singing tonight

We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for love

He was going for hours, people cryin' showers

No one ever really tells how it is

I sang about the hopeless 'cause everyone knows it, knows it

And it was so honest

Finally breathin' some clean air, been through it and seen it

I've witnessed all the pain, oh

And as spotlight was fading, he just kept on playing, oh woah

Play me a song about heartache, I promise I can sing every word (Mr. Piano Man), I promise

Play me a song about love lost (song), 'cause that's another one everyone's heard

Strike up the band

We can have the whole world singing tonight (whole world singing tonight)

We can have the whole world singing tonight (whole world singing tonight)

We can have the whole world singing tonight (yeh, yeh)

We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man), oh

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man), oh

Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man), ooh

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for love

hello there my favorite people! 👋😊

For this week I did a cover of "That Part" by Lauren Spencer. I love this song so much, the first time I heard it i put it on repeat till I was tired of listening. Still, I'm still in love with it, it's almost as I can never get enough of it. So I'm "wishing on elevens" that you'll enjoy this piece I made (haha!)

LYRICS

We've only been dating for a year

But I'm gonna take a risk and sound a little weird

I want the picket fences and an arch around the entrance

Two Ikea twin beds for the kids

It's normal to be a little scared

But I wanna bend the rules and play some truth or dare

So ask me any question, I don't really care

The only thing I care about is if you'll meet me there

And I wanna take your name

And I know you want the same

When you hold me, I see the end of a movie

Everyone thinks that we're crazy

And maybe we are

I hate the middle, let's skip to the part when you kiss me

Surrounded by friends and our family

Know we're too young to get married

We knew from the start

I'm sick of waiting, so can we just skip to that part?

The only way this is gonna hurt

Is if we got old, and you were the one to go first

So I'm wishing on elevens that we both meet up in Heaven

And fall in love again, just like the first time

And I know it all sounds lame

But I know you feel the same

When you hold me, I see the end of a movie

Everyone thinks that we're crazy

And maybe we are

I hate the middle, let's skip to the part when you kiss me

Surrounded by friends and our family

Know we're too young to get married

We knew from the start

I'm sick of waiting, so can we just skip to that part?

When I met you

I told my friends that I'd date you

No one believed it would come true

But look where we are

We're on our way, I know one day we'll get to that part

Hello everyone, so in accordance with this week's theme, I decided to do one of the most amazing R&B songs of the 2000’s, “Long Distance” by Brandy. This song was released in 2008 and I remember singing it word for word as a teenager in secondary school. I hope that you enjoy it while listening, as much as I enjoyed it while growing up, thank you.

**Lyrics**

There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time.

And I'm running out of things to do to get you off my mind (oh whoa).

All I have is this picture in a frame (oh ah),

that I hold close to see your face everyday.

With you is where I'd rather be,

but we're stuck where we are.

It's so hard, you're so far.

This long distance is killing me.

I wish that you are here with me,

but we're stuck where we are

it's so hard, you're so far.

This long distance is killing me.

It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far.

This long distance is killing me.

It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far

This long distance is killing me

Now the minutes feel like hours

and the hours feel like days. (whoa oh whoa)

While I'm away (way-ay)

You know right now I can't be home (ah)

But I'm coming home soon (ah)

Coming home soon. (ah a hah)

All I have is this picture in a frame (ah)

that I hold close to see your face everyday.

With you is where i'd rather be (where I'd rather be.),

but we're stuck where we are (oh oh).

It's so hard, (oh ah) you're so far. (oh ah)

This long distance is killing me.

I wish that you are here with me (you are here with me),

but we're stuck where we are (oh oh)

It's so hard, (oh ah) you're so far. (oh ah)

Can you hear me crying?

Ooh (oh-oh oh-oh)

Can you hear me crying? (oh-oh ah!)

Ooh (oh-oh oh-oh)

Can you hear me crying? (oh-oh ah!)

Ooh (oh-oh oh-oh)

Ooh woo whoa ah ah oh ah (oh-oh ah!)

Uh ah uh ah whoa0h ah (oh-oh oh-oh)

With you is where i'd rather be (where I'd rather be.) whoa!

(but we're stuck where we are) oh!

(it's so hard) So hard (your so far), so far

(this long distance is killing me) This long distance is killing mep

I wish that you are here with me (you are here with me) me.

(but we're stuck where we are) Stuck where we are! So hard! So far

This long distance is killing me

It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far.

This long distance is killing me.

It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far

(so hard, so hard, where we are, where we are, your so far).

This long distance is killing me.

There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time.

Hello there everyone. I'm happy to participate in this week's competition, and I'd like to give a big shout out to the vibes community for the opportunity to be here.

So this week's contest is all about the good old ‘90s. I decided to do a song by Mariah Carey which we all know; the song “Always be My Baby”. This song is one of all-time classics, released in the year 1995 (the year just before I was born😁). I do not have Mariah's vocals, but I hope you love my version of it. Enjoy!

**Lyrics**

Do do doop dum

Do do doop do doop da dum

Do do doop dum

Do do doop do doop da dum

Do do doop do do do

Do do doop do doop da dum

Do do doop dum

Do do doop do doop da dum

We were as one, babe

For a moment in time

And it seemed everlasting

That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free

So I'm lettin' you fly

'Cause I know in my heart babe

Our love will never die

No you'll always be a part of me

I'm part of you indefinitely

Boy don't you know you can't escape me

Oh darlin' 'cause you'll always be my baby

And we'll linger on

Time can't erase a feelin' this strong

No way you're never gonna shake me

Oh darlin' cause you'll always be my baby

Do do doop

Do do doop do doop da dum

Do do doop dum

Do do doop do doop da dum

I ain't gonna cry, no

And I won't beg you to stay

If you're determined to leave boy

I will not stand in your way

But inevitably you'll be back again

'Cause you know in your heart, babe

Our love will never end, no

You'll always be apart of me

I'm part of you indefinitely

Boy don't you know you can't escape me

Oh darlin' 'cause you'll always be my baby

And we'll linger on

Time can't erase a feelin' this strong

No way you're never gonna shake me

Oh darlin' 'cause you'll always be my baby

Hello everyone, I did a cover of “You're Still the One” by Shania Twain. The song is one of my all-time favorites, I think it can be called a classic, haha 😅. When I was little, I used to give it my own lyrics since I didn't know all of it. So I decided to share it with you today. I hope you enjoy it.

LYRICS:

Looks like we made it

Look how far we've come, my baby

We might a took the long way

We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"

But just look at us holding on

We're still together, still going strong

(You're still the one)

You're still the one I run to

The one that I belong to

You're still the one I want for life

(You're still the one)

You're still the one that I love

The only one I dream of

You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothing better

We beat the odds together

I'm glad we didn't listen

Look at what we would be missing

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"

But just look at us holding on

We're still together still going strong

(You're still the one)

You're still the one I run to

The one that I belong to

You're still the one I want for life

(You're still the one)

You're still the one that I love

The only one I dream of

You're still the one I kiss good night

You're still the one

> I also wrote a little poem for the song, it may not be the same as the song lyrics but the song inspired me to write this beautiful piece of poetry, I hope you like it too. 💗

If music and stars were to collide

I'll call them by name and tell them

To explode into stars just as perfect as you.

And scribble the lyrics of the most beautiful songs in your eyes

I love you today and tomorrow,

And the next.

If I could sing a million songs in a day

I'll start with a song that describes you

Then paint each memory we have shared with a lyric.

I love you today and forever

My one and only forever. ❤️

**Thank you!**

Hi everyone, I did a cover of John Legend's All of Me. It's a very personal song for me because it communicates a lot of emotions. I hope that you enjoy the song and feel all the emotions I feel every time I listen to the song.

I did my best!

[Verse 1]

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in and you kicking me out

You've got my head spinning, no kidding

I can't pin you down

What's goin' on in that beautiful mind?

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me

But I'll be alright

[Pre-Chorus]

My head's under water, but I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus]

'Cause all of me loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose, I'm winning

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh-oh

Perfect by Ed Sheeran

I found a love, for me

Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead

Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet

Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slow

Your heart is all I own

And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark

With you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass

Listening to our favourite song

When you said you looked a mess

I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it

Darling, you look perfect tonight

Love Lifted Me by Kendrick Rogers

I'll write myself a simple song

get the who world to sing along

I'll call it a love song for you

and who knows I'm liable to take a song

the bible

and here's what I'll do

I'll just say love lifted me,

love lifted me

when nothing else would do

love lifted me

everybody's looking for a way

to say something nobody's saying, that's hard to do

still searching the mind, trying to find one of a kind way

that they can say something new

so I'll just say

love lifted me

love lifted me

when nothing else would do

you know love lifted me

Hi everyone, good day. I am @mmeyenejoseph and this is my first entry for the vibes web3 music competition week 15, I'm really happy to participate. Special thanks goes to @lordbutterfly for initiating this music competition.

This week, I'm doing a cover of “build your church” by elevation worship.

**Lyrics**

On Christ alone, our Chief Cornerstone

No other foundation can we build upon

Not philosophy nor the wisdom of man

All other ground is sinking sand

Upon this rock, You build Your Church

And the gates of hell will not prevail

When we bind and loose, we proclaim Your truth

And in Jesus' name, we will not fail

Never fail, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, He's building a church now, now, now

Crucified, raised up from the dead

Led captivity captive, it is finished

Oh, He gave us the keys, His authority

Now we are joint heirs to the praise of His glory, glory

Upon this rock, You build Your Church

And the gates of hell will not prevail (no, no)

When we bind and loose, we proclaim Your truth

And in Jesus' name, we will not fail

We'll never fail, no
