SUBWAY BY ASA—Afritunes Music Contest Week 150

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello to all the beautiful members of this great African community. It is Afritunes music contest Week 150 and it my absolute pleasure to perform another African song to and for you all.

For this week's performance, I will be singing a cover of Subway by Asa, an absolutely beautiful song that discusses a love has died in some way following the partner's betrayal. In this song, Asa reminisces about the warnings her parents gave her about love.

I can't even remember the first time I heard this song. I grew up listening to Asa's songs on the radios and TVs. I absolutely adore her and even try to imitate her style in my music from time to time. I also remember that this was one of the earliest songs I learned to play on the guitar.

Anyways, without boring you with any extra pointless talk, I hope you enjoy my humble acoustic performance of this awesome song from an internationally acclaimed Nigerian artiste.

Here is a Youtube link to a live performance of the song by the goddess and original composer herself.

Here are the lyrics of the first verse and chorus of So Beautiful by Asa.
Everyday is not a holiday
My life's like a subway
Oh, I know this love don't last
Look at me, tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real?
I know this love don't last
I have come from far away to see this go down the drain
I have waited patiently and this is what I get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in
I'm not so free to express myself
But the woman in me, don't fade away
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love you
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you

A huge shout out to every one who has taken time out to listen to my acoustic cover. I love you add.
