MELO MELO BY OLAMIDE(COVER)

Hi, everyone. It really has been a long time since I've been here, and it feels so good to be here again.

This particular post shows me playing the electric guitar amongst a group of friends. The song we were playing is a very popular one in Nigeria here, Melo Melo by Olamide.

An interesting thing about this video is that it was recorded during our final exams in medical school. I just finished my final exams in medical school exactly a week ago today. It's an experience that was unbelievably physically and mentally draining(3 weeks of back to back exams), and I was essentially on drugs throughout the exams.

By the end of the second week of exams, we were all so fatigued that we needed something to spark joy amidst the trials, disregarding for a moment that we still had a week of exams left. For me, that something is almost always music or swimming. This time, it was music.

If you've gotten to this point, you can tell by now the need for the impromptu music we played on this day. It's a week after the exams and I'm still on drugs. I'm feeling much better now though. I HOPE Y'ALL ARE DOING MUCH BETTER THAN I.
