Oh (Better Days) - Ed Privat (Cover)

Friday Live

I woke up on Wednesday way too early, and I had Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton in my head, I pondered for a minute on how good is this song, then forgot about it.

As songs carry energies, I am sometimes not interested in wearing that energy on me, it's almost like a cloth you put on your shoulder, and it will define the rest of your day.
If you know about the origin of Tears in Heaven, the song is born in a place of utter sadness and mourning.

I made the counscious decision that, as beautiful as the song is, I need another cloth on my shoulders for today.

This is when I suddenly took my guitar, and sang "Oh" by the Australian singer Micky Green, it's not a big song, it's a simple song ,with clear lyrics, that's exactly what I need right now.
It happened to be the right decision, as I instantly was gratified by the migration of the cranes, the beautiful sun, the cold wind, and peace.

So the dude here, just woke up and started singing! I didn't know if I should post it, and pondered on it the whole week, and now I just said to mysel "let's just do it".

I also made another decision few months ago, posting everything that I produce for Hive on other social medias, and I realized that I just hate other platforms so much, that I don't really see the point of doing so anymore.
So, I guess, I will keep some of my content exclusive to the blockchain once more, I am tired of playing their games, and anyway the people social medias, they aren't much like us if you haven't noticed!

Back to the song, check the Lyrics, really simple and lovely, she is writing about her child, I feel very much the same way that I hope I did not screw them up by projecting my own nevroses and insecurities, I know you all think the same about yours too ahah.
Right now I post a song on Monday and Friday, I hope that rhythm isn't too much for peeps!

Oh

I don't think you realise
Don't think that you recognize
Just how much you mean to me
And that you make me so happy
I wish that you were happy too
Because it means so much to me And oh ! I know that we've got better days
And oh ! I'm sure that we will conquer the world
I regret what I don't have said
I screwed up things inside your head
But all I want is for you to know is that
When you grow old you won't remember it at all
And oh ! I know that we've got better days
And oh ! I'm sure that we will conquer the world
And oh ! I know I love you more than anything
And oh ! I'm sure that I will make you happy
And we'll be together'
I know, it shows in your eyes
Your green eyes, your brown eyes
It doesn't really matter
And oh ! I know I love you more than anything
And oh ! I'm sure that I will make you happy
And we'll be together,
I know it shows in your eyes
Your green eyes, your brown eyes
It doesn't really matter anymore
Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! etc'
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more'

Shout out to the cranes, that just perfectly timed their entrance!!! What a teamwork!

Great song. This is the first time I've heard it but I like it 👌

It's funny how you often just wake up with a song in your head. I wonder why that is? And you're right it can sort of define your day at times. I never thought of that.

Yeah other platforms are the worst. Hive is where it's at. Keep posting here!

Wassup brother!

It's funny how you often just wake up with a song in your head. I wonder why that is? And you're right it can sort of define your day at times. I never thought of that.

I guess that's the power of words, it's like a mantra, you know what I mean?

Hahaha I am thinking the same! Thanks again for the comments ^^ and the continual support!

I think I know what you mean. The words get into your head. You repeat them over and over and they find a home in there

So good!!As always

I too go back and forth, put it on other social media or not, make it public or private - I keep going back and forth
Right now, I'm where you are - just happy here
Who knows tomorrow ...

Glad you decided to post it anyways
This is just waking up and singing?
What?!!! No morning voice and all?! huh!!

So today I come with a request... not sure how this will sit on your shoulder so do it only if you feel it - and of course, if you haven't already :D

Exactly like your moto: Between hustle and flow!

Thanks for the compliment, the morning voice is always a little bit raspy, but alcohol takes a toll on it, I didn't drink a beer this week though so it's clear! This and covid of course 😁 I don't know why I am smiling.

Maybe I am smiling because of the song you shared? I had no idea who was Thriving Ivory, so I researched about them a bit, the singer has such an interesting voice! Give me a week or two, I don't think I'll change too much, just an acoustic live version! Nice song, Some of the lyrics I could straight up relate to, I think he says "I wanna feel the sun burn", and this is a beautiful metaphor for life, the good and the bad.

The sun can be amazing, but you get too close and burn your wings, like in the Icarus story

I totally get what you mean about the songs laying across your shoulder - they carry that energy at times and its not just about singing a tune... but the lyrics and mood and feel leave this indelible mark across your heart. hehehehe

totally get that.

this was beautiful - everything about it... I've had a song in my head for a few days now. the sad thing is... sometimes we sing songs that we feel (but the song isn't the greatest match for our voice!) hahahaha

thta's how i feel about this song that's in my head - not sure if i'll just sing it anyway... i kinda feel like you

is this song just for me??? or do i post it. hahahaha
i don't know. i'll see LOL

so glad to be starting my morning with your voice :)

That's pretty! Borderline poetry!

thta's how i feel about this song that's in my head - not sure if i'll just sing it anyway

When in doubt, always sing it, and see how you feel about it 😄 you'll get the answer while singing.

is this song just for me??? or do i post it. hahahaha
i don't know. i'll see LOL

Why are you even questioning this! Again, when in doubt, sing it! (and film it haha) and tag me also!

so glad to be starting my morning with your voice :)

That was my morning too, what a coincidence!! It was meant to be 😌

hahahahaha I DID IT!!!!!!!!

but i scheduled it to show up tomorrow morning at 6:45 am
I wanted it for 6:44 - but 3speak doesn't let you do that hahahahaha

so when I wake up and see that it's posted - I'll make sure to tag you - and i think it came out much nicer than I thought it would hahahahaha

and regardless - I sang my heart into it - so that's what matters, right??? hehehehe

Ok so your 645 must be eight hours after me, so I calculate you will post it around 245pm for me.

I wanted it for 6:44

Is there a particular numerological meaning behind it?

and regardless - I sang my heart into it - so that's what matters, right??? hehehehe

So proud, atta girl!
