I will be doing a cover by Dido - life for rent

“Life For Rent” is a song that is full of emotions and deep thoughts. The song is about a person who feels like they are just a part of the world, and everything that surrounds them is temporary.

As a result, they feel a sense of detachment from everything and everyone around them. In this article, we will explore the meaning behind Dido’s “Life For Rent” and what inspired her to write this song.

The substance is in the writing. She explains the meaning of the metaphor in the first lyric (“I haven’t ever really found a place that I call home/I never stick around quite long enough to make it.”) It’s also working on both levels – literal and figurative. Literal being, she changes her home month by month.

With her each month, brings new changes she has to adjust to and pay for. She confesses that she has let go of her dreams to live a quiet life by the sea. But notes sadly that there is nothing there to stop her. Hence, her life is for rent.

In the chorus, she builds upon the metaphor by singing: “if my life is for rent/and I don’t learn to buy/well I deserve nothing more than I get/cos nothing I have is truly mine.” Her reference to a past romantic relationship mentioned in the first verse plays a role in the chorus, too.

If she doesn’t actually take the time to get to know someone and be with them, then she doesn’t have a right to say that person is hers. In the second verse, she examines herself.

She admits she doesn’t up easily (“if my heart is a shield/and I won’t let it down”) and that she doesn’t try, either. However, she knows that she’s not really living then (“Well how can I say I’m alive.”) She ends the single repeating ” cos nothing I have is truly mine.” Without any music behind the lyrics, she is hopeless and has stopped caring.

"Life For Rent"

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home

But if my life is for rent

I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea

If my life is for rent

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down

If my life is for rent

'Cause nothing I have is truly mine

This is my entry into #openmic #week #166 with

I will be doing a song titled : "Boat" from ed sheeran new album"Subtract.

What does “Boat” by Ed Sheeran mean? According to Ed, the song is “basically a song about resilience.”

“Feeling at your lowest and wondering if you can get through it, basically,” he posted on his Instagram. “I wrote the song and finished it by the English seaside, which is, I think, very beautiful, but it is quite a bleak and cold place in winter. I was looking out at the sea and these crashing waves crashing down, and I sort of felt like that was a good metaphor of what was happening at the time with me. And that’s where the line ‘The waves won’t break my boat’ came from.”

One thing remains constant as Armstrong stated, “it ain't the world that's so bad but what we're doin' to it. And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance.”

A beautiful ode to love and life itself, “What A Wonderful World” is a very powerful piece of music that has left its mark on many listeners over the years.

With an age-weathered voice, Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong sings about the wonders of the world in a way that sounds so genuine and pure, you can feel the warmth of love deep within your soul.

The song was released at the height of the Vietnam War, during a time when global tensions were high and many people held a bleak outlook on the future.

Within this context, it brings a sense of hope and unity that there are still things worth enjoying, despite the troubles of the world. The lyrics suggest that you can simply look outside and see that there is beauty to behold, and let everything else just float away.

Bridge Over Troubled Water is the fifth and final studio album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, released in January 1970 on Columbia Records

When you're going through a very dark time and you're emotionally exhausted and alone, a place where no friends or real support can be found.

'In between' living your old life with unhealthy, uncaring people, and wanting to move into a happier, healthier existence and away from those people you love but are sadly incapable of making that change ( sometimes everyone we know)... that's where you find the love, strength, belief and faith in yourself that you can make it.

Trusting that there is a force that loves you, hears you and can help you find the courage and faith in yourself carries you from the darkness and into the light ~ your light and your dreams. That force is the bridge - call it what you will...It could be God, or love or energy or 'the force!' but it is something real.

You are loved and supported even when you are alone and in the dark. For the brave, miracles happen there.

Hey Hivers..This is my first cover and entry into hive open mic week #159

When the lyrics say, “You can count on me like one two three, I’ll be there. And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two, you’ll be there. Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah”, all I can think about is my different types of friendships I have and how lucky I am to have those types of friendships that the song talks about.

Also when I listen to the song, all I can think of too is my friends comforting me and reassuring me whenever I am feeling down, at any time.

Either over text, FaceTime, or even in-person. It is one of the best feelings knowing someone is there for you always. Also when I listen to that song, I picture the singer to be this man in his 20´s singing about what real friendship should feel and look like and expressing himself to the world and to his friends.
