Hive Open Mic 168 - "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" Cover
Hello Hive Open Mic community!
It's Merit here again and this time like always, I'm excited to share this cover song with my fellow singers. Can't thank the community enough for the continuous support and the space given for singers to pitch their net and take music to any level on Hive.
I love the theme for this week, so much that I didn't even think more than five minutes to decide which song I'll do a cover of as I've always had this song in mind ever since I heard it for the first time in a movie.
Image designed here
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" is a song I first heard in a movie titled "Blended" and I liked the scene where it was sang... A lady singing the song to kids who were finding it hard to fall asleep... How calming and lovely! Was my reaction when I heard it.
My dad did played a lot of nice children songs to my siblings and I while we were growing up, they are all memorable but I'm choosing to go for this song as it is what I enjoyed listening to recently and I like the lyrics more.
The song tells about what lies beyond the rainbow, might seem like a fantasy but I like that it made me smile and have some little wishes in mind as I sang through the lyrics, it is a song with so much positivity and wishes to be what the clouds and birds are... Free and above the sky!
I did some editing to show the theme of the week on my video and even the image I used, also added the lyrics of the song on the video as I sang so maybe those who know the song would join in and sing with me.
The song is a lovely one and highly recommended for parents to use on their kids during bed time, so positive and calming. I hope you do enjoy the cover as much I did singing it.

This song is very well known, and you have made a great version dear, thank you for your participation and we hope to see you here. A big hug!
Finally! One who knows the song, most of my commenters say they don't know it 😅
Thanks for stopping by
This is the most beautiful thing I've heard today. I was mesmerised by softness and gentleness of your voice. I could listen to this on repeat to sleep and I'd be sure if sweet dreams.
Very lovely, Mer Mer.
Haha so you all can sleep that easily with a calm song? If I'm not ready to sleep, I still wouldn't no matter how calm the song is 😂
What a busy Mer Mer lol
Thanks for your uplifting words Jay, it's very much appreciated.
Nice voice , you song the song with a great passion.
I love your presentation .
You rock friend.
Thank you friend 🙂
You're welcome
This song is beautiful and just like you said, it is filled with positivity. Indeed, I don't think a kid won't fall asleep listening to his or her singing for him or her. Your voice blended with it too and I was tagging along with the lyrics.
That was a lovely song you chose. Sorry, I couldn't watch yesterday as network decided to do its worst.
Haha yeah, I know right! Kids would fall asleep for the song calmness 😅
It's fine, I appreciate you stopping by after all. Thanks sis
Progressive improvement 🙇🙇🙇
That was a great display... Quite impressive and unbelievable you're yet to drop your own song 🙄
Lol my own song? Is that the new challenge now? 🥲
I'll work on something then 😅
Hehe.. it's worth it
There is no comment for this as I slept off at the end. And I hoped my keyboard wouldn't but it slept too.
So. I decided to be kind and send one now. You are welcome.
Lol funny child 😂
So you and your keyboard slept off
Well, thank goodness you woke up after... No peace for the wicked 😝
Yes, we did. Sing me the song again. I'll need to play it for whoever can't keep their mouth shut beside me.
Hehe, what an awesome to leave as a wicked soul. Don't be jealous sweetheart.
Beautiful Merit, nice pitch and every on key, absolutely lovely. This is one of the lullaby I know but do not know the lyrics by heart.
I've never seen that movie but I know the song, just on the surface, you get😄
Well Done sis
Haha I also had to learn the song well enough for this week's theme 😅
You delivered well🎉
