Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, encouraging musicians to share songs with an international audience.
In this week's Hive Open Mic event, we gather to celebrate our love for nature and Mother Earth. This song speaks to our deep-rooted connection with her. It invites us to recognize her presence in every aspect of our lives and to surrender ourselves to the beauty, power, and wisdom she offers. My wish is that we walk lightly on the Earth, appreciating her wonders, striving for a sustainable and harmonious coexistence with nature.
The song I'm sharing here introduces the concept of "Grandmother" as representation of Mother Earth herself. Grandmother is not only present in the obvious elements like fountains and mountains but also in the intangible forces that surround us. She is in the wind that whispers through the trees and the fire that warms our souls.
As the song progresses, the fire reminds me of a spiritual connection with nature, with its sparkles, smoke, and embers. It is our respect for the elements that sustains us on our Earthwalk. The attitude of gratitude allows us to receive the gifts of the light and heat that the fire provides, acknowledging the life-giving energy of the Earth herself.
This song reminds us that Mother Earth is an integral part of everything in our worldly existence, encompassing all aspects of our lives. The repetition of the phrase "Over and under us" suggests that the influence of nature extends beyond the surface level, reaching deep into our souls, and surrounding us from every direction.
The final verse introduces the act of shaking maracas, a rhythmic motion that represents drawing energy from both the ground and the sky. It signifies our desire to harmonize with the natural forces surrounding us. By pulling energy from the Earth and the sky, we empower ourselves, in alignment with the balance and harmony of the universe.
Over And Under Us
Swimming down below the surface
Entering waters deep
Surrendering to what lies beneath
She is in the fountain
She is in the wind and the fire
She is in the mountain
Prayers rising with smoke and embers
Bringing the flames higher
Surrendering to the light and heat
Over and under us...
Shaking maracas up and down
Pulling energy from the sky
Shaking maracas low and high
Over and under us...

Hive Open Mic - Week 165 is underway right now, with the current theme: “In Love with Nature and Mother Earth." We introduce new themes every Sunday, inviting musicians to share a common current. Musicians always have full freedom to bring whatever music feels inspired in the moment. There is still time to jump in and enjoy this week's Hive Open Mic event!
We were hoping to see you participate this week. The theme reminds us a lot of you dear brother...
Thanks for holding a place open for me. Feels so good to be here. Yes, I like this theme. It feels like home to me.
Hello Cabe, its nice to catch up with your video its been some time since the last time i saw something from you, this song embodies perfectly the theme chosen for this week, it surely has your signature with those mesmerizing arpeggios and the poetic way you sing the lyrics. It was interesting to read the whole meaning of the song explained by detail, what a nice post you bring us for this week, thanks for sharing! sending a big hug
Hey Julio, thanks for reading the post and checking out the music here. Yes, this week's theme brought to mind a lot of songs I love, and this one holds a special place in my heart. And so do you! Sending you a hug in return, brother.
Una canción muy linda me gustó mucho , gracias por compartir
Brother the warmth of the notes you play on the guitar and your voice embracing the lyrics combine so perfectly that the song lulls our senses and takes us to that protection that any mother gives us ... nature is kind, it is the whole in our plane 🙏🌏🌎🌍❤️!!!!
I think you made it so clear that everything she emanates comes from everywhere, the divine work of a God, geometric wisdom made sphere and the essence of life made elements... what a beautiful song brother... your music will always be amazing, I love it 💖!!!
We must continue harmonizing the energies from our being, to the universe... hard task... but we continue on the path of leaving something great to those who will come.... I hug you in the distance Cabe.... You Absolutely Rockkk!!! 🙌😀💛
Yes! She protects us, provides for us, shows us kindness, and forgiveness... I have a feeling our Mothership could unleash her storms and fires on us at any moment, but she cares for all of us. It's obvious to me. Lots of love, bro.

Dear brother! After so many weeks that you have been participating I finally have time to read you, listen to you and embrace you in the distance. I remember almost a year ago when you told me about the "Five Rhythms", I was going through chaos, which lasted until the beginning of the year in my life. The good thing is that I am in transition to stillness. I have worked hard all this time to achieve it, and as my friend you know it has been a long road.
I always have something to learn from everything you share in the community, whether it's through music, an image or a message. For me this week's theme 165 is synonymous with Cabe Lindsay, and you comparing mother earth as a grandmother is great. There is something special about this issue, as most of the Hive Open Mic members have connected with the feeling of loving and caring for nature, the earth, and understand that it must be respected and offered to future generations, just as grandmothers passed it on to us.
I haven't been singing here for a while, brother, but as I said, I'm finishing a process that really prevents me from singing. My dad and the rest of my family are synonymous with Hive Open Mic, in fact I thank this community for so many videos that have been recorded where I can see my dad singing for hours. If we had not known about this space we would never have so much material to remember. When you least expect it I will join in singing with the rest of the community. I hug you from my old Venezuela brother...
Aw! It is so beautiful to hear and feel your gratitude for the many memories of your dad's incredible musical gifts - shared here. He blessed every one of us, and these recordings will continue to bless. What a precious soul he is, and you too, of course! I crave the day when you make your triumphant return in sharing your sweet voice again. I admire your resilience on this long road you've traveled. Happy to hear you are arriving in the luxurious state of stillness. Bless you and your path of healing. Sending a hug.
Greetings my great friend @cabelindsay what an honor to see you play and sing this song so beautiful and special for this week, for us mother earth is the most sacred thing we have and that we must take care of because it is our home. I congratulate you for your participation I hope to continue seeing you I send you a big hug 🤗.
It is truly an honor to be able to share this song with you all, especially in celebration of our beloved Mother Earth. I wholeheartedly agree that she is among the most sacred thing we have, and it is our collective responsibility to care for and protect our worldly home. Hugs!
