I greet you all, fellow music lovers! I am @fortunebassey, and I'm super exited to be making my debut in this great community for week 110. To kick things off, I would be sharing a cover of "How Are You My Friend" by Johnny Drille.

As a musician, i strongly believe that music has the power to bring people together and bring up deep emotions. Johnny Drille's "How Are You My Friend" is a perfect example of this. This song has soulful melody and powerful lyrics, the song speaks directely speaks to the heart and reminds us of how important human connection is.

Throughtout my life, I have been blessed with incredible friendships that have shaped me into who i am today. This song speaks to me on a different level, as i have felt the highs and lows of strong friendship throughout my life.

I have discovered that music is a powerful medium to share our experiences and connecting with one another. It is my sincere desire to convey this emotions and experiences through my performance. I belive that by opening up and sharing my interpretation of this song, I hope to create a space where we can connect through the power of music.

My hope is that you will not only enjoy the beauty of the melody but also feel a part of the story it tells. So take a sit, unwind and enjoy the music!

Song lyrics
I know sometimes e be like say nobody send you that one na lie, I de for you, my friend

Padi no vex for me

Say i never call you since

But i hope that you are well

I hope your market de sell

Every day, I de pray for you

Make Baba God bless you

How I go forget you?

See my shoulder, make you rest upon me

You know I got you, na me be your friend indeed

The money don show now, I don keep some for you

You no go suffer rara

Cause anything i get na for me and you, yeah

How are you, my friend?

I know sometimes e be like say nobody send you

That one na lie, I de for you my friend

But you are always on my mind, oh
