Vibes Web3 Music Competition Wk 16 - We Are The World By USA For Africa
Hello music lovers of Hive! It is a great pleasure to be here in this beautiful community.
This is my first time posting in this community, and incidentally this is my first time participating in the Vibes Web3 Music Competition put together by @lordbutterfly.
For this Week 16 edition, we were challenged to go with the theme "ROOTS". Therefore, I have chosen to do a cover for the USA For Africa's timeless piece titled "We Are The World".
This song was written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson, performed (or rather sung by several other artists for a charity cause aimed at sending help or relief to African children encountering Famine.
I chose this song because it was the first song I learnt the lyrics, being that it was released in March 1985, shortly before I turned 12.
We Are The World is a song that calls us to put aside as our differences and do our own part to make the world a better place. Although many of the Artists that collaborated on this song are no longer alive, the message and music still speaks volumes today. See what the chorus says:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a better place, so let's start giving...
Thank you so much for listening to the song and reading this post. I hope you enjoy the video.
Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments and I will get back to you.
Thank you once again.

There's a great documentary hosted by Lionel Richie on the creation of that song called The Greatest Night In Pop. How the decision to record it right after the Music Awards was their only option. Exhausted performers emerged from the all-night recording session to welcome the sunrise, knowing they'd just done something very special.
Oh, right! I will definitely watch that documentary. Those performers really did something special for the African children. Their song still speaks a lot today.
Thank you, Bob.
It is extremely difficult to find the courage to sing in public, I envy you so much for your strength and self-confidence. Greetings!
Very kind words, @strega.azure ! I appreciate you 🙏.
I remember when this song came out! I was 14 hehe. I can tell you enjoyed singing it for the contest 🥰
