My Entry for the OpenMic Week114 ... #DIVE

#OpenMic #JoshuaJessie #MorethanWords #SomeMemoriesAreMoreThanWords

This Week's title says
"More than Words"
And we all know there are some memories we have that words can't really describe.
It's Stored somewhere in our hearts and souls.
And we treasure them.
And They Definitely give us joy.

I've got some Memories like that too
And I'd like to save them here for the future so since I didn't do a Video for this song I recorded (Dive by Ed Sheeran @teddysphotos ) I decided to compile some beautiful experiences I've been able to Witness With My lovely friends.

Such amazing memories with these same set of friends bonded by Music.

I've had quite a lot of sweet memories with these same set of Guys In the Past three or four years... Many Of which were Musical Memories.

Gigs, Rehearsals, Shows, and all.
Some shows were wack with frustrating Sound engineers and Management😂

Some were so amazing It felt like we Shouldn't stop.

Some shows were done from our own financial expense because we weren't paid a dime.😂
We've had to rehearse for hours without combos and amplifiers,
Helped each other score songs and challenge each other to attempt Musical stuffs,
We've trekked long distances from Shows we went to play,
Beaten by rain at gigs,
Being forced to carry our Equipments in the rain just to get to the Venue for the gig on time or on our way back,

We've had Some equipments destroyed in the course of that,😂

Left stranded very late in the Nights because there's no means of getting home after a gig😂
And many other Funny but Interesting experiences☺️

It's the Life of Upcoming Musicians.
Experiences like these will build you to become Great 💯

There are times we played well,
And other times we actually didn't play well enough.
And yea... We had to live with it even though it could be painful and annoying.
We've had Negative Remarks from fellow Musicians who didn't like us or probably Felt we weren't worth the hype.
And Also positive comments from People that has encouraged us to continue.
And there were days when we Played that we even wondered If we Actually were the ones who put up such an amazing performance.

But in all One thing Was Very Obvious.
We played for the Love of Music.
For the Fun.
Not as a job per say.
But because we wanted to make good Music.
We just wanted to!!
And that was enough reason for us.

I believe there are still many more memories we'd make together.
For as long as we are together.
And I definitely am looking forward eagerly !!🤭🤭✨✨

Here's the link to the Original Song on YouTube

Oh, maybe I came on too strong
Maybe I waited too long
Maybe I played my cards wrong
Oh, just a little bit wrong
Baby I apologize for it
I could fall or I could fly
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
Hanging on the words you say
And I've been known to give my all
And jumping in harder than
Ten thousand rocks on the lake
So don't call me baby
Unless you mean it
Don't tell me you need me
If you don't believe it
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you
You're a mystery
I have traveled the world, there's no other girl like you
No one, what's your history?
Do you have a tendency to lead some people on?
'Cause I heard you do, mmh
I could fall or I could fly
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
Hanging on the words you say
And I've been known to give my all
And lie awake, every day
Don't know how much I can take
So don't call me baby
Unless you mean it
Don't tell me you need me
If you don't believe it
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you
I could fall or I could fly
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
Hanging on the words you say
And I've been known to give my all
Sitting back, looking at
Every mess that I made
So don't call me baby
Unless you mean it
Don't tell me you need me
If you don't believe it
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you
Before I dive right into you
Before I dive right into you

This song, like the others on the album, makes me reflect on memories I've shared with both friends and foes.

I would like to believe it's your voice I heard in this video and that you played some guitar too, because I know the original very well, but I cannot say for sure.

The person I heard in this audio sang really beautifully. The harmonies were really smooth and the guitar was fresh. The person kind of sounds like Ed.

It would have been much better if you had actually shown yourself singing and playing the guitar. Then, you could throw little clips on show once in a while in the video.

I believe it's a cover, and for people to actually appreciate and praise a job well done, they need to be convinced that you actually did it. Feel me, brother?

You see, I'm using "the person" because I couldn't say for sure that it was you.

Above all, the cover is great!
