Hello Hive OpenMic community 👋

The inspiration behind this cover comes purely from the Christmas season. This festive period is always a reminder of joy, peace, love, and togetherness. Everywhere you turn, there’s a sense of reflection, gratitude, and celebration, and that atmosphere inspired me to express myself through music once again.

I chose to cover “Feliz Navidad” by Boney M because of its simple but powerful message. The song carries an innocent joy that instantly lifts the spirit. It reminds us to slow down, smile, and share love with one another—values that are very important, not just during Christmas, but in our everyday lives.

As an artist, I’m inspired by songs that bring people together, and “Feliz Navidad” does exactly that. Singing this song gave me the opportunity to celebrate the season musically while spreading positive energy to everyone listening. I kept the performance simple and heartfelt, allowing the message of the song to shine through without overcomplication.

This cover is my own little way of saying thank you—for life, for growth, for music, and for this amazing community. Hive OpenMic has always been a place where creativity is welcomed and voices are heard, and I’m grateful to be part of it once again.

I appreciate the Hive OpenMic organizers, moderators, and fellow musicians for keeping this platform alive and inspiring. Thank you for listening, and I hope this performance adds a touch of joy to your Christmas season 🎄✨

LYRICS: FELIZ NAVIDAD

I wanna wish you a merry Christmas

Hello everyone 👋,

First of all, I want to appreciate Afritune for consistently creating a space where African creatives can express themselves through sound and culture. Big thanks to the organizers, community leaders, moderators, curators, and every contributor who keeps this movement alive. Your dedication and support do not go unnoticed.

Special appreciation as well to everyone participating in the Afri Christmas Volume 4 Challenge. This initiative has once again brought us together to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas through music, unity, and creativity. It is always a joy to see how music connects us beyond borders here on the Hive blockchain.

My name is success978654, and today I’m glad to be sharing my original song as my entry for Afri Christmas Volume 4, titled “Emmanuel.”

The name Emmanuel, meaning “God with us,” reminds us that God chose to dwell among humanity, bringing salvation, peace, and restoration.

I also infused this song with a spirit of worship and celebration, using both English and Igbo expressions. The phrase “Agam ebuli Elu” (I will lift Him up) represents our response as believers—lifting up Christ in praise, gratitude, and reverence.

Through Emmanuel, my prayer is that listeners are reminded of God’s love, His nearness, and the peace that comes through Christ. May this song bless you, inspire worship, and keep the true meaning of Christmas alive.

Thank you for listening, and I’m honored to share this with the Afritune family.

Warm greetings to the wonderful Hive Music Festival community 🎶👋 I am @success978654 and I’m honored to share my entry for Hive Music Festival – Week 166, Round 3. For this round, I present an original song titled “I Love to Worship You.”

This song was birthed from a deep place of reflection and gratitude to God. Worship, for me, is more than singing songs; it is a lifestyle and a sincere expression of love, reverence, and total surrender. “I Love to Worship You” expresses my heartfelt desire to stay connected to God beyond the noise of daily life.

While composing this song, I reflected on the many moments where worship became my strength — moments of uncertainty, joy, waiting, and thanksgiving. In those moments, I realized that true worship does not require perfection, but honesty. This song is my personal offering, a simple declaration of love to God, poured out through melody and lyrics.

Musically, I chose a calm and worshipful arrangement to allow the message to flow naturally. I wanted the song to feel intimate and prayerful, creating an atmosphere where listeners can reflect and connect personally with God. Every lyric was written with intention, and every note carries meaning.

Participating in Hive Music Festival Week 166, Round 3 is a blessing, as this platform continues to encourage originality, creativity, and genuine expression. Hive has given many of us a space to share our gifts freely and grow together as artists.

This write-up was done with the help of ChatGPT, while the song and every other creative work remain entirely my original creation.

I sincerely appreciate the Hive Music Festival community leaders, moderators, curators, and rewarders for their continuous support and commitment. Your dedication keeps this community alive and inspiring. Thank you all 🙏🎶

Warm greetings to the Hive Open Mic family 👋🎶

This song was written from a place of deep reflection and sincere surrender. When I saw the theme for this week, it stirred something strong in my heart. I began to think about what it truly means to be called by God and how we often get distracted by many things that appear important on the surface. The stage, the crowd, recognition, riches, and wealth can easily become the focus, especially for creatives and ministers. However, in the place of quiet meditation, I was reminded that none of these things define true purpose.

The lyrics of this song express a conscious decision to let go of every distraction and fully embrace God’s call. It is a declaration of loyalty, obedience, and availability. The line “Nothing else matters to me” reflects a heart that has weighed everything and chosen the one thing that truly matters. This song speaks of a life that is no longer chasing applause or material gain, but one that is committed to following God to the very end.

The chorus is a simple but powerful response to the divine call:

This song is entirely my original work, written from my personal convictions and spiritual journey. However, I would like to clearly state that this write-up was done with the help of ChatGPT, while every other aspect of the work, including the song and lyrics, is originally mine.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and read. I deeply appreciate the Hive Open Mic community for this beautiful platform. Special thanks to the community leaders, moderators, curators, and all the rewarders for their constant support and commitment. I am truly grateful. 🙏🎶

Warm greetings to the MusicZone family 👋🎶

This song was inspired by moments of deep reflection on my life journey. As I looked back, I realized that my survival, progress, and standing today are not by my strength or power, but by the mercy of God. Every day I am still standing is a testimony of His love and grace. There were seasons when life’s challenges rose strongly against me, and it felt like the enemy was coming like a flood, but God always raised a standard and became my defense.

The chorus was birthed from a personal realization that it was mercy that found me and mercy that saved me. I did not save myself; Jesus reached out to me in His compassion. This song is my way of acknowledging that without His mercy, I would not be who I am today.

In the second verse, I reflect on how God captured my heart with His love, blessed me abundantly with His grace, and lifted me from the miry clay to place my feet upon a solid rock. That experience gave me confidence to face tomorrow and live a life without disgrace. It became clear to me that the life I now live is not by power or might, but purely by mercy — na Your mercy o.

My prayer is that this song reminds someone that no matter where you are coming from, God’s mercy is still available and able to rewrite your story.

Greetings to the AfriTunes family and everyone in the house. It is a great privilege to be here once again for AfriTunes Week 197, and I am excited to share a Hausa gospel medley that was inspired by deep moments of reflection, gratitude, and hope in God. This medley is a combination of three songs that came from personal experiences and spiritual convictions, expressed through music in my indigenous language.

The first song in this medley is “Ka Isa Yabo,” which means “You deserve the praise.” This song was inspired by moments when I paused to reflect on God’s faithfulness in my life. I realized that many times we focus on what we are yet to receive, forgetting the countless blessings, protection, and grace we already enjoy. This song came from a heart of gratitude, acknowledging that God deserves praise in every season, whether in joy or in waiting.

The second song, “Sunan Sa Yafi Dukan Sunaye,” translating to “His name is greater than all names,” was inspired by life’s pressures and challenges that often try to overshadow our faith. During moments of uncertainty, I found strength in reminding myself that no situation is bigger than God. This song became a declaration of faith, affirming that the name of God carries ultimate authority and power above every other name.

The final song, “Chan Sama Zamu Zauna,” meaning “Heaven is our dwelling place forever,” was inspired by reflections on eternity and the temporary nature of life on earth. This song speaks hope and comfort, reminding us that beyond our present struggles lies a glorious and everlasting home prepared by God. It encourages perseverance and renewed faith in God’s promises.

This Hausa gospel medley is my way of sharing inspiration, encouragement, and worship through music. This write-up was prepared with the help of ChatGPT to clearly express the inspiration behind the songs. I am grateful for platforms like AfriTunes that celebrate original African sounds and expressions of faith. Special appreciation goes to the AfriTunes community, leaders, curators, and rewarders for their constant support and encouragement.

Greetings beautiful Hive family!. I am @success978655 and I’m truly excited once again to share something deeply personal and meaningful with you for the Hive Music Festival Week 165 Round 3. This week, I’m presenting my original song titled “IMELA,” which simply means Thank You.

This song flows from a place of reflection—looking back at everything I have passed through, the moments of struggle, the seasons of uncertainty, and the miracles that came quietly, yet powerfully. It is my sincere way of saying thank You to the One who has carried me from where I used to be to where I am today.

In the first verse, I return to Abba Father like a grateful son, acknowledging His love and His mighty hand upon my life. I remember how He lifted me, how He multiplied the little I had—just like the miracle of the two fishes and five loaves—and turned it into something much greater. Many times, I have found myself overwhelmed by His goodness, and it makes me ask, “Kedu ihe m ga-enye gị chimo?” What can I possibly give to You, my God? His love has remained strong, constant, and unshakable, and that alone is enough reason to praise Him endlessly.

The chorus is a simple yet powerful expression: Imela, Imela… N’dalu. It is a melody of thanksgiving that rises from a heart overflowing with gratitude. Sometimes, the most sincere worship comes from just saying, “Thank You.”

The second verse reflects on my humble beginnings—days when even food was a struggle, when I hustled with no results, and when friends left because I had nothing to show. But God stepped in, changed the narrative, blessed me beyond what I imagined, and filled my life with testimonies that still leave me speechless. Truly, His love is indescribable.

No matter where you are in life, keep holding on. Your own IMELA moment will surely come.

A big thank you to all Hive Music Festival community leaders, curators, and rewarders for your consistent support. And as always, this write-up was crafted with the help of ChatGPT.

Warm greetings to the Hive Open Mic family 👋🎶

This song has a special history. Many years ago, during my time in the music department, our music director asked us to compose a welcoming song for a major concert. Among the many compositions that were submitted, this song was selected as the best, and I had the privilege of ministering it during the concert. The moment was powerful, and the ministration was received with great joy. That experience left a lasting imprint on me and reaffirmed the message behind the song.

The lyrics are rooted in the truth that in the presence of God there is fullness of joy. It is a place of freedom, peace, love, restoration, and grace. The verses invite listeners into that sacred space, while the chorus serves as an open call for everyone to worship together in one heart and one soul.

The energetic rap section emphasizes celebration and hope — dancing, clapping, smiling, and rejoicing — because God’s presence restores what has been lost and releases greater grace, greater love, and greater peace.

As this song aligns with this week’s theme, my prayer is that it reminds someone that God’s presence is always open and welcoming. I hope this ministration blesses you and uplifts your spirit.

Greetings amazing AfriTunes family 🎶

“I’m a winner, not a loser,

Those simple lines from the chorus carry a powerful message. Life often comes with challenges, delays, and moments that try to convince us that we are less than who God says we are. But this song is a reminder that our identity is not defined by our struggles or circumstances. When we depend on God, victory becomes our portion.

“I Am a Winner” is not just a song of confession but also a song of encouragement—to myself and to anyone listening. It speaks to the strength that comes from trust, the confidence that comes from faith, and the assurance that when God is our everything, defeat has no final word.

While singing this piece, I poured my emotions into every line, letting the message lead the melody. My prayer is that this song uplifts someone who feels weak, restores hope to someone who is tired, and reminds us all that dependence on God is the true source of victory.

To everyone listening, keep pressing forward. No matter what you are facing, you are not a loser—you are a winner.

Thank you so much to the AfriTunes community leaders, curators, judges, and rewarders for the constant support, motivation, and platform you provide for creatives to grow and express themselves.

Greetings everyone 🙌🏾

This song is a powerful and heartfelt declaration that speaks deeply about the nature and character of God. “You Are” is not just a song; it’s a personal confession of faith, trust, and total dependence on God. The lyrics reflect who God truly is — faithful, dependable, loving, and unchanging. As I listened to the song and prepared to cover it, I was reminded of how constant God has been in my life, even in moments when things felt uncertain.

One thing I truly admire about this song is its simplicity. There is no struggle to impress; instead, it flows naturally as an honest expression of worship. The song allows the singer and listener to slow down and reflect on God’s presence. While practicing this cover, I found myself not just singing but meditating on the words, allowing them to speak to my heart. It became more than rehearsal — it became a moment of fellowship.

Musically, the song creates a calm and reflective atmosphere, which made it easy to connect emotionally. I tried my best to stay true to the message of the song while expressing it in my own way, focusing on sincerity rather than perfection. This cover is my humble offering, inspired by gratitude and reverence for who God is.

Music has always been a strong channel for me to express what words alone cannot fully convey, and this song gave me that opportunity once again. I hope that everyone who listens will feel encouraged, uplifted, and reminded that God remains the same — faithful in every season.

Before I round up, I want to say a word of encouragement to every artist, musician, and creative person in this community. Keep showing up, keep expressing yourself, and never underestimate the impact your gift can have on someone else. Even the smallest contribution can inspire a soul somewhere.

This write-up was created with the assistance of ChatGPT, an AI language model, to help structure and express my thoughts clearly.

Finally, I sincerely appreciate the Hive Music Festival community, the organizers, community leaders, curators, judges, and rewarders for their continuous support and dedication. Your commitment keeps this platform alive and meaningful for creatives like us. Thank you all for creating such a welcoming and inspiring space.
