Hey wonderful people , I’m @diduoflagos and this is my entry for hive open mic week 210
I'm really excited to share something special with you today. It's a performance that's been on my heart for a while now, and it's one that's deeply personal to me. I'll be singing Adele's powerful ballad, "Set Fire to the Rain."
This song, oh, it's like a thunderstorm of emotions wrapped up in music. The raw honesty in Adele's voice and the haunting melody never fail to send shivers down my spine. It's a song about heartache, about letting go, about finding the strength to move on even when everything seems to be falling apart.
As I prepared for this performance, I found myself reflecting on my own experiences with love and loss. There have been moments when I've felt like I was drowning in a sea of tears, moments when the weight of my emotions threatened to consume me. But through it all, there's been a flicker of hope a belief that even in the darkest of times, there's a light waiting to guide us home.
Recording this cover has been a journey of healing for me. With each word, each note, I've poured my heart and soul into the music, allowing myself to feel every raw emotion that Adele so beautifully captures in her song.
So, as you watch this performance, I invite you to join me on this journey through the storm. Feel the rain on your skin, let the thunder echo in your chest, and remember that even in the midst of chaos, there is beauty to be found.
And if this song speaks to you, if it resonates with your own experiences, I encourage you to share it with others who may need to hear its message. Because music has this incredible way of bringing us together, of reminding us that we're never truly alone in our struggles.
SONG LYRICS
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark, and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh!
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
Thank you…. Diduoflagos signing off ❤️😁
