Hive open mic week #198 ,I look to you by Whitney Houston
selection of Whitney Houston's inspirational ballad "I Look to You" is an excellent fit for the Hive Open Mic theme of "Rebellion,this emotional powerhouse of a song uplifts and empowers the listener. With its message of perseverance through faith and reliance on a higher power during times of hardship and darkness, "I Look to You" aligns perfectly with the theme of finding inner strength to rebel against life's difficulties.
In the verses, Houston sings of being unable to walk alone down troubled roads, asking her savior to come to her aid. The chorus offers the titular refrain - "I look to you, I look to you, after all my strength is gone, in you I can be strong." This highlights the rebelling human spirit, acknowledging the weakness in oneself but finding power by looking outside for support. The bridge builds on this theme by asking for answers to make it through the storm.
Houston's masterful vocal control swells with passion as she belts out the inspirational lyrics. Her almost church-like phrasing gives "I Look to You" a gospel feel, emphasizing the salvation the song's protagonist seeks. The stripped down piano accompaniment anchors the track, allowing Houston's unbelievable voice to take center stage.
Overall, through vulnerable verses, an uplifting chorus, and a cathartic bridge, "I Look to You" sends a hopeful message about persevering through adversity. By leaning on an external source - be it spiritual, emotional or otherwise - one can find the strength within themselves to keep fighting. This resonates strongly with the rebel spirit highlighted by the "Rebellion" theme. I commend you on your thought-provoking song choice and wish you the best in your open mic performance. The inspiration and emotion behind "I Look to You" will surely resonate with listeners.

Here
As I lay me down
Heaven, hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to You
I look to You
After all my strength is gone
In You, I can be strong
I look to You
I look to You, yeah
And when melodies are gone
In You, I hear a song
I look to You
We should always look to God whenever we walk alone down troubled roads. This song is really beautiful, it makes people reflect.
