Hive Open Mic #232 - Impossible - James Arthur (cover)

Hi friends! Hive Open Mic Week 232 welcomes you back with the reminder of yet another theme, which is ‘The Taste of Betrayal.’ For my entry, I chose to cover the song 'Impossible' by James Arthur, a son that tells a story of love, loss, and betrayal that linger.

Once that trust is gone, it’s very unlikely one will be able to earn it back. visualize a beautiful glassware in your imagination; stretch your memories to the moment when it fell down the table and shattered. No matter how anyone tries to fix that broken glass, it can never be the same again.

In a similar manner, ‘The Taste of Betrayal’ revolves around the feelings of despair generated when everything in a relationship goes south, with James Arthur’s ‘Impossible’ perfectly belonging to that category. The lyrics have well captured the pains and disbelief, which is felt at the particular instance that one’s closest companion breaks a promise, associated with unfairness.

The words to this song are just so relatable, speaking to the honest emotion that follows along in the aftermath of lost love. They speak to how memory can make heartbreak even more painful and can leave a lasting ache. As the words portray a vivid picture of shattered dreams and longing, whoever listens to the song is able to experience an intense connection to the emotions. The pain of remembering now-tainted happy times due to heartbreak resonates deep. The song seems to voice all our thoughts and legitimize the struggle of accepting what's gone.

Those going through a heartbreak can relate to the song's emotional resonance. As the lyrics confront the pain, they bring solace and understanding. They remind us that we are not alone in our grief, that others have walked this same path and emerged scarred but stronger. And maybe, perhaps that is the greatest gift this song gives us-the courage to face our brokenness and the hope to heal.
