Greetings Hive Open Mic Community. I am Zein Grind, from @indonesiabersatu. It's a pleasure to be back at the #OpenMic event for week 229. The theme for this week is "Photograph". So, I performed a cover of the song "Good Riddance" by Green Day, released in 1997 on the album Nimrod.
One of the main charms of the song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" is the message of nostalgia and appreciating moments in life contained in its lyrics. This song has inspired me to reflect on the past, reminisce about important moments, and understand the value of every life experience. In the journey of life, we will undoubtedly experience various moments, whether joyful moments or perhaps less pleasant ones.
However, if there is something that has the power to capture and freeze those precious moments, then the answer is photograph. Photograph is not just about taking pictures, but it is also an art that can encapsulate emotions, stories, and memories in each snapshot. Through the camera lens, we can preserve happy glances, genuine smiles, warm togetherness, and self-reflection behind every moment we go through.
Those photos then become a kind of time traveler that takes us back to sweet memories of the past. A visual stroke that helps us reflect, smile, or perhaps be stunned, remembering how valuable every second captured is. Maybe, photograph can become a loyal companion that accompanies our journey in life. A window to the past that is always open, providing warmth and strength from the beautiful memories we hold. And who knows, one day those photos will be silent witnesses to the life story we have lived.
Lyrics
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
