Hello everyone, how are you all? I'm sure we're all fine at the beginning of this March. Week 99 of #openmic has arrived. It's got to be a fun week, right? By the way, my name is @donirosayandi, I'm a beginner guitarist. This week I will challenge myself to sing in English, this I have never done because I am not very fluent in English, but I will do this challenge, so that I can sing together with all members of this community, by singing a contest song. Hive Open Mic #openmic week 99 with the theme: "Oneness," connecting in unity, rhythm, and harmony across the world.
Oh My Love" is a song written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, appearing on Lennon's Imagine album in 1971. It is a song about experiencing love for the first time, seeing and feeling the love.
If you hear the name John Lennon, you will definitely be associated with a famous band from the 1960s to 1970s, The Beatles.
Together with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, Lennon has made history as the first British band to penetrate the US market.
After The Beatles disbanded, Lennon is still active in music by cooperating with his wife Yoko Ono. One of them is this oh my love song.
I searched youtube for the video of the song Oh my love, it tells the story of the love between John Lennon and Yoko Ono, they share their longing for each other. They are like two inseparable lovebirds. In real life both, that's how it is.
In addition, there is also a video of the recording process of this song which was recorded in a recording studio with other members of The Beatles.
By the way, thank you to the curator who has prepared the lyric material for this song and the Mp3 instrumental tracks that made it easier for me to record my vocals and acoustic guitar.
I've downloaded it and recorded this song by adding the sound of my acoustic guitar. And the results are amazing.
But unfortunately I didn't use headphones when I recorded it so the instrumental Mp3 sound was a bit loud.
The video above is just the vocals and guitar without the instrumental music.
And I was able to mix this song by adding an instrumental Mp3, vocals and my acoustic guitar and the video is as below.
Sorry, my voice is not that good and my English is not very fluent, but I'm still excited to join the 99th Hive open mic for this community together, I hope you guys like my presentation.
Happy listening.
Here are the full song lyrics.
Oh my love, for the first time in my life
My eyes are wide open
Oh my lover, for the first time in my life
My eyes can see
I see the wind Oh, I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
I see the clouds Oh, I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
Oh my love, for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover, for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
I feel the sorrow Oh, I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life Oh, I feel love
Everything is clear in our world
