What’s up Vibes!

Sending you all a big greeting, I’m thrilled to participate again this week. I made it just in time, but with lots of excitement, because I’ve been wanting to perform this song for a long while.

I first heard it in the movie “Surf’s Up”, which quickly became one of my favorite films ever. Since the theme of this week was about movies, I couldn’t miss the chance to pay tribute with this cover.

The production was fresh and quite experimental, but it flowed nicely and I’m really happy with the final result — always looking forward to improving more and more.

Honestly, if I had to stick to just one genre for my personal music project, it would probably be something close to this sound. I couldn’t really name it exactly: it has elements of reggae, some rap, and a rock foundation. But it truly resonates with me. Hahaha, I wonder why? xD

Lyrics

(Here’s the full lyrics so you can take a look — by the way, that rap section took me a LOT of practice haha).

(Include full lyrics as already shared)

Say what you say i just sail away

She can't stand me but i miss her face

I feel like drowning but the tides too low

And now i'm waiting for the undertow

So i

Stand tall it gets a little better

I see the wall that we can break down together

Stand strong it gets a little better now

We can break it down, we can break it

Stand tall it gets a little better

I see the wall that we can break down together

Stand strong it gets a little better now

We can break it down, yes we can break it, we can

Break it down

I can only take so much

The pressure man come to pressure us

They came to watch us fall

Oh yes they came to watch us fall

And we will rise up against them all

So i

Stand tall it gets a little better

I see the wall that we can break down together

Stand strong it gets a little better now

We can break it down, yes we can break it

Stand tall it gets a little better

I see the wall that we can break down together

Stand strong it gets a little better now

We can break it down, yes we can break it, yes we can

Break it down, yes we can break it

Pardon me if i'm too loud i'm gonna sing my song gonna

Sing it proud, no ones gonna bring me down gonna stand

Up tall gonna hold my ground

Tell me what are we fighting for, just to do what we

Done before, tell me what are we fighting for.

Pardon me if i'm too loud i'm gonna sing my song gonna

Sing it proud, no ones gonna bring me down gonna stand

Up tall gonna hold my ground

Tell me what are we fighting for, just to do what we

Done before, tell me what are we fighting for.

Stand tall it gets a little better

I see the wall that we can break down together

Stand strong it gets a little better now

We can break it down, yes we can break it

Stand tall it gets a little better

I see the wall that we can break down together

Stand strong it gets a little better now

We can break it down, yes we can break it, yes we can

Break it down, yes we can break it

Here’s the lyric video I used for rehearsing and recording this cover:
