What's up everyone! This is Vibes Web3 music competition week 6. Today, I'll discuss my new cover of Ariana Grande's song "One Last Time."

InShot_20240331_215652745.jpg

I think the song tells the story of a woman who was unfaithful, to her partner. Despite knowing it was a mistake she found herself unable to resist the allure. It's truly devastating to deceive someone you care for deeply in such a manner.

In the lyrics of the song, she confessed saying "I was unfaithful, I succumbed to desire. I should have resisted, but I'm at least being honest." She's not sugarcoating it - she confesses to letting her man down and wishes she had treated him better.

In another part of the lyrics, she said "I know the other woman gives you everything. But I couldn't provide what she does for you." She recognizes the new partner may offer more love and care than she could. She feels she can't match what her man has found.

Yet she pleads, "So one last time, let me be the one who takes you home." She wants one final night together to properly part ways as just friends, not lovers. After that, she'll move on and let him pursue the new relationship.

She reasons with herself, "I may be undeserving, but if you give me a chance, I'll make it worthwhile." She's asking for a bit of compassion from him.

Another part of the lyrics says, "Can't you forgive me, just this once? It's my fault, I should have been more careful." She's desperately trying every angle to regain his heart.

But he remains firm. So in a last-ditch effort she says, "I should have resisted, but I'm being honest now. Just give me one little moment to show you it'll be worth it, baby. Because I don't want to lose you." She's doing whatever she can to win him back.

The core plea is: "One last time, let me be the one who takes you home." She wants one more night together to cherish their memories and show she just wants friendship now, not romance. Then she'll walk away and let him pursue this seemingly more loving relationship.

In essence, she gave in to desire and betrayed her man. Now she begs for one final chance to prove she can provide more care than the new partner. But afterwards, she'll leave him to that seemingly deeper love. Yet for now, she just wants one last intimate night to reminisce.

There's my cover one more time:

Really!
Hearing that from our Afritunes Vocal coach, I feel very happy.
It's funny how I haven't really thought that I am improving in any way.
Also, i guess when you do something regularly, you get to understand it better as the day goes by.
I didn't hire a vocal coach. I still wish to have one though, only that I don't have the financial capabilities for now hehe
