My Heart Sings...#Ttt

Greetings Hive Music Lovers!!!

There are sometimes in life where you feel like the world is against you, and it makes you ask; Na only me (Is it just me)?. But the truth is that you aren't alone, which is why we ought to care for each other because, We are one. And also, let our mouth and heart sing the song of "Gratitude" because despite it all, you survived.

To me, music is the real definition of truly living because there's a lot more in music than we see. When I hear the sound of music, my heart sings, and my soul rejoices. When God created the world, He spoke, which meant that He made a sound, and I bet His voice was so melodical. I know you've felt the power of music, and so have I. In times of pain and happiness, music is always there to lead the way as it begins creation.

This is why it is hard to go a day without listening to music. Music has shaped a lot of my attitude towards things... and life itself, which is why my best form of music is the sound of nature. It is always heartwarming and thrilling. And, this brings us to the music world of #threetunestuesday sponsored by @ablaze and also #dwotw by @samsmith1971.

...and, today's tune promises to be exciting, inspiring, and more than you hoped for. I have chosen 3 different songs from African singers as I welcome you all on the journey toward my music commentary.

Only Me; 2face.

Life can be pretty messed up at times, but hey! We are still living. I once lived like I didn't see anyone because I just like being alone, but as time moved on, I started letting people in, but not just any kind of person.

Regardless of that, I keep doing what I know best and not forgetting that humility is the best thing and also respecting others. This music speaks about being alone and...yet not being alone. I know there's a lot of things you'd like to do if it is just you, but thinking about your actions before carrying it out matters, too.

When you feel like a king above others because of the little power bestowed on you by people, it is right to know that life is vanity and one should be careful of our actions in life and this music did send a crucial message that makes me appreciate it more.

Speaking about life challenges and people, this brings us to the next tune to be shared, but before that, the music, Only me, was sung by 2face, a Nigerian artiste.

We Are One;Angelique Kidjo.

There's so much in life we can't understand. Sometimes, we get to question why this and that is happening to us. How did this thing change its course? I planned it out well, but still, it didn't yield something fruitful.

I whine like that too, but listening to this music has made me realize that things just happen, and that isn't because you didn't plan well. It is just how life can be sometimes. Unbelievably balanced! Because in those failures, if we look closely, there's a lot we will get to see.

This is why when things don't go as planned, instead of beating myself up and making the life of people around me unbearable, I get to understand that I am not alone as everyone is going through a lot and that there's this oneness in us. I try to create another way and work towards it for as long as there's life, the hope that things will get better is our next shot.

This is why being grateful is the next tune in the list. However, the music, "We are one," was sung by Angelique Kidjo, and I first heard it in the movie, Lion King.

Gratitude;Tope Alabi.

I am a conqueror, and I believe that because there's a lot of things that happened in the past that could have claimed my life. This year alone, sickness has taken hold of me. I was so sick that I couldn't do anything. I could not eat nor stand. It was terrible facing different sorts of sickness, and for the past 7 to 8 months, I have been like that until a few months ago when things were better.

This is why I am always grateful and glad to be alive. God has set me free time without number, both the ones I see and the ones I didn't see. And I am glad to know Him. A father that is worth calling one, my comforter, and my all.

Despite the challenges that have showcased, physically, mentally, spiritually, financially, and emotionally.

God fought for me, and my waning hope gets lightened up each time I feel like it is all over. He tells me it isn't, and I believe Him, which makes my faith stronger, for He is more than what people say.

The music, Gratitude has helped uplift my faith more in God, for He never forgot me when I got captive and in situations when the world seems to be cruel to me.
