Hive Open Mic #150 - Price Tag (Jessie J)
Our Virtue
Britannica.com notes these as our virtues:
Humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, diligence
These are obviously taken from the Bible and how relevant they still are in our modern lives is open to debate, but even if some are more relevant than others, we should all strive to try to be a good role model for our fellow citizens. More and more people on the planet also means more conflict, making this hard for some, but if we don't try to be patient or diligent, societies might fall into disarray.
It's Not About the Money
I have seen some great entries to this theme this week, and can't really add much, neither was I quite sure what songs I know that could fit this theme, and when I first thought of Jessie J's "Price Tag" I thought it to be a little too light hearted, but on second thought it grew on me that it is actually a pretty good match.
Money has always been the cause of trouble in the world, and that continues till today; too many people seek easy fame and stardom (and money), nowadays mostly online. Charity only comes in for some when this increases said fame; there are exceptions to this of course, as always.
Finally
This is a fairly new song for me, with its usual first recording flaws, but it's quite good fun and I hope, you like it!
Thank you all for listening!

Suits your voice Anke. Great guitaring too! I found myself singing along....
Thank you, Barbara!
It sure is a catchy tune.. x
It's the love of money that tends to cause problems. I think Adie has done that song, but not heard it from you before. Definitely one for the Anke songbook.

Oh, have not heard his version..
I'd tried it once at a session, but it needed more practice.. getting there :)
I should think it will feature tonight.. 😉
Thank you, Steve!
Lovely performance ....really enjoyed watching this, your guitar is so cool, the sound is so beautiful 😍
Wow, thank you so much! 🙏
I need to look at other entries again, but I've run out of, well, money, money, money.. 😄
Thanks, my friend!
You have brought an excellent song to this week's Open Mic, sometimes virtues are overshadowed by money, so much so that people have come to think that if you don't have money you are not virtuous and NO!
Virtues are what make you the person you are and it is important to cultivate them and share them with the world. I congratulate you for your entry.
Wow, so well said! Brilliant!
I'm glad you like it and that you too think it makes good choice for this week!
That makes me glad! Thank you so much!
excellent points
Thank you!
I like it so much that you are always showing different facets of your voice, here you put a lot of good vibes on it.
Thank you for bringing this song which I love for its great message!
Thank you so much!
If there are any different facets in my voice then I sure didn't know I had them.. haha
Thank you so much for that wonderful comment, dear friend! 😃
It is normal to encounter those flaws in first production of a new music. But it cameboyt well and I congratulate you.
The virtues you listed are very visible in the bible and quite necessary for us to imbibe in order to live an authentic Christian life. Thank you for relating this to us so excellently. You always do well with your entries. Weldone friend.
Thank you, Victor!
Yes, they are in the bible, but that isn't one of my strongest points I must admit; I try to be my best with other people without it though! 😉😃
Glad you think it worked, I'm always a little too critical, so your judgement is well received, my friend! 🙏😀
It is fine. Life itself is critical, so there is need for criticality in thought and approach to it
👍
You can't imagine how much I love this song. It's the first time I've heard it in this format. I jump for joy that it is precisely you who has covered it, because I love everything you do. Congratulations...
And you cannot imagine how happy that makes me, Jesús!
Thank you so much, that made my day! 😃
Clear explanation and wonderful performance. Keep it up
Thank you!
I'm always amazed when I see people of your age doing this thing called music very well.
How can I not love this musical piece when it is well delivered?
I didn't have any regret watching you ma'am.
Hope you are very well?
My age? Music is only for the young? 😄 haha
Thank you, glad you like it!
I am very well indeed, thank you, hope you're too! 😃
Haha...😂
Music isn't for the young alone.
I'm very well too.
Stay healthy ma'am 🙏
😄👍
