Review For Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week 39

When I listened to @noah45’s Week 39 entry, I didn’t know what to expect. But from the first line of Say You Won’t Let Go by James Arthur, I felt the honesty right away. I realized that this song focuses on love care and attention to someone who is important to you, but not about showing off. That’s the feeling this performance carried.

What stood out first was how natural it sounded. There was no rushing or forcing. The words were given room to shine. Some of the lyrics felts very true “I knew I loved you then, but you’d never know” and “I wanna stay with you until we’re grey and old”. The voice allowed the message to come through without being hidden under extra effects.

The tone was soft and warm. It didn’t feel like a stage performance. It felt like sitting with someone while they shared something personal. That closeness made it easy to connect with the song.

I also liked the balance in this cover. It didn’t try to copy James Arthur note for note. It didn’t try to push too hard either. Instead, it respected the heart of the song. @noah45 really did a good job here. He delivered the song in a calm and joyful way, although I love his voice.

This songs puts much emphasis on love which makes it sound unique. Not just the dramatic moments, but the quiet actions that matter most. Being there in difficult times. Choosing to stay. Noah’s version carried that meaning well. It didn’t sound like a performance. It sounded real.

The peaceful style of the video added to this. No heavy beats, no extra noise. Just the voice and the song. That simplicity pulled me closer to the lyrics. Each line had space to land, and that made the story even stronger.

The video was kept simple too. No distractions, no flashy edits. The focus stayed on the music. This makes it standout to connect well.

And when you listen to this, you realize that music need not be complex at all an authentic voice, sincerity of intent much more moving than some effects-laden song. And that’s something that Noah brings to the table here. He let the song go, and his feelings took over.

I felt calm and touched by the end. The cover reminded me of the fact that love isn’t always about grand gestures. Very often, it’s about staying close, caring, asking “Say you won’t let go.” That always matters.

I believe anyone who listens to this cover will feel the same connection. It’s more than just a song. It’s a reminder of how important it is to hold on to the people we love.
