Hive Open Mic 187 - "Sleeping Child" Cover
Hello Hive Open Mic community and my fellow music lovers!
It's another week with a beautiful theme and I'm happy to be here once again to share my song choice for the selected theme by our spotlight artist @usagidee

I'm choosing to share the cover of the song titled "Sleeping Child" by "Michael Learns To Rock", for the theme of the week "A Peaceful Song"
Before anything, I'd love to ask... Do you have that one or more songs you sing a lot or you think you know but you keep singing a line in the lyrics wrongly all the time?
This song is one of them for me and the reason is kinda understandable, it was my lullaby song when I was little. Dad would play it all night alongside other some Celine Dion and Michael Bolton songs. This one stands out for me because I've never thought about learning it well enough to sing it so this came as a chance for me.
This song "Sleeping Child" is a song with a very beautiful meaning and as the theme requests, it is a perfect peaceful song that gave me a lot of peaceful rests during my childhood.
I keep mistaking a line in the lyrics "But you barely rolled" instead of "But you've build your own" 😂 well, I didn't make that mistake in my cover at last so I guess I've gotten the hang of the song well enough. And there you have it, a cover of one of my childhood musical companion, the perfect peaceful song.
So do listen, enjoy the cover and let me know what you think about it's connection to the theme. I hope to see you all next week again in the next theme. I appreciate the support as always 💯
Song Lyrics
The Milky Way upon the heavens
Is twinkling just for you
And Mr. Moon he came by
To say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
We're praying for the world
And for the people everywhere
Gonna show them all we care
Oh my sleeping child, the world's so wild
But you've built your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child

I can relate with you on this🤣🤣 there is this particular song by Elton John called SACRIFICE. During my days in the university, this song was my daily dose but the way I always sang rubbish with confidence was something serious because I didn't know d lyrics back then😁😁

What a beautiful interpretation my friend. I congratulate you for such a beautiful voice and for choosing this song. I loved it when you did it with two voices. That was wonderful.
Thanks, glad you love it 😊
I Remember this song...
Nice shot you did here🙌
Thanks 😊
Most times you sing,your choice if songs always look as if we discussed it before you went up stage. Haha. You always sing the songs I love. This song reminds me of my late room mate in School back then. She plays this song every day. She loves this song and got me to love it. Thanks for bringing it on today, I haven't played it again in recent times and of course it brought back memories of my room mate and I together. I really do miss her 😭
Well done, you nailed it again, there was a place I thought you would change your voice so as not to choke, but you flowed n it was good all through. 👏👏
Awww I always smile when I read your comments, although this one has a sad story. I pray her soul rests in peace 🥺
Thanks ma'am, I hope to keep doing better.
At my age I still enjoy lullabies, to the point of falling asleep hehehehe. I've always liked this pop music and it's the kind of peaceful songs I wanted to listen to this week. I'm glad it was with your voice and your great talent. I love when you break into two tunes in the chorus in this and other videos, you are amazing sis!...
Haha I guess we're both huge fan of this song as a lullaby 😍 glad I sang it when you needed to hear this kind of peaceful song.
