▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Hey everyone, I’m excited to be here again this week. It’s been a great community and the support has been so much and I really appreciate all of it so to the Hive open Mic community, I say a very big Thank you ❤️

So the theme for this week is

POESIA

I'm thrilled to share something close to my heart a video of me performing one of my favorite songs, "Say You Won't Let Go" by the incredibly talented James Arthur. This song is not just music to me; it's poetry set to melody.

As a lover of both music and poetry, I've always been drawn to songs that tell a story, evoke emotions, and paint vivid pictures with their lyrics. "Say You Won't Let Go" does all that and more. It's a beautiful tale of love, devotion, and commitment, told with raw honesty and heartfelt sincerity.

In many ways, I see this song as a form of modern day poetry. The lyrics are like verses from a love poem, capturing the beauty and complexity of human relationships in a way that resonates deeply with me. From the imagery of dancing in the dark to the promise of never letting go, each line feels like a brushstroke in a masterpiece of emotion.

Recording this video was an emotional journey for me. I wanted to convey not just the melody of the song but also the depth of its lyrics to bring the poetry of "Say You Won't Let Go" to life through my performance. With each note, I sought to capture the essence of James Arthur's heartfelt ballad and infuse it with my own passion and interpretation.

Now, as I share this video with all of you, I invite you to experience the poetry of music to listen not just with your ears but with your heart. I hope that my rendition of "Say You Won't Let Go" touches you in the same way that it has touched me, and that you find beauty and meaning in its verses, just as you would in a beloved poem.

A big shoutout to James Arthur for crafting such a beautiful song, and to all of you for joining me on this musical and poetic journey. Let's keep spreading the love and sharing the magic of music and poetry with the world.

Cheers 🥂

SONG LYRICS

I met you in the dark
You lit me up
You made me feel as though
I was enough
We danced the night away
We drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told you
I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I knew I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I'll wake you up with some
Breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee
With a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars
For that night

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now, oh
And you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that every day you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far, my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me
When I needed you most

I'm gonna love you 'til
My lungs give out
I promise 'til death we part
Like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you
Now everybody knows
That it's just you and me
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go
