Hello, Hive Open Mic Community! Thank you for the new theme this week, "My Perception", chosen by our new Spotlight Artist, @gemafreya123. 😇🥰
First of all, I am sorry if I wasn't able to present my song last week due to the flu. Actually, up to this day, I am still having a hard time eating food, but because I love you all, I wanted to present to you another cover, "Speak Now", by our famous international singer, Taylor Swift.
I picked this song because I remember a certain person who is really close to me. We were best friends for years, and all of a sudden, she married a man who is not really my type. (Yeah, not my type for her.) My best friend has a standard when it comes to men, but I didn't really believe that she would marry this below bear-minimum guy. And what's funny is that they only dated for eight months. At their wedding, I really wanted to stand up and run with my best friend because she really doesn't deserve this man. Unfortunately, the marriage happened, and she is now living under the spell of this man. Agghh, wish I really could stop her, but I wasn't able to speak at that time, because, who am I? I am just her best friend.
Anyways, please watch my video and enjoy!

SPEAK NOW
[Verse 1]
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearin' a gown shaped like a pastry
[Pre-Chorus]
This is surely not what you thought it would be
I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say
[Chorus]
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church, at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said, "Spеak now"
[Verse 2]
Fond gestures are еxchanged
And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
[Pre-Chorus]
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me, don't you?
[Chorus]
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church, at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said, "Speak now"
Don't say yes, run away now (Run away now)
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church, at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow (Say a single vow)
Your time is running out
And they said, "Speak now"
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh (Run away now), la
Ooh (Say a single vow), ooh
[Bridge]
I hear the preacher say
"Speak now or forever hold your peace"
There's the silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only lookin' at you
[Verse 3]
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl, haha
[Chorus]
So, don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church, at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
They said, "Speak now"
And you say, "Let's run away now (Run away now)
I'll meet you when I'm out
Of my tux, at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vows (Say a single vow)
So glad you were around
When they said, 'Speak now'"

Today was the first time that I stopped by this song and its message, despite having known it for many years. You always manage to find perfect messages that match the themes of the Hice Open Mic, we thank you, friend. Your singing is always beautiful and forceful, you are wonderful 😻
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
Aww. Thank you @jesuslnrs for always visiting my presentation. I am really grateful. Thank you very very much! ❤️😇😊
You sang that song very beautifully. I understand your feeling. It must be very difficult to see your best friend marry a man you don't think is worthy of her. Especially if you have known your best friend for years and know her standards when it comes to men. What you can do now is continue to be a good friend to her. Listen to her if she wants to tell a story. Give her support and encouragement.
Ahahahahhaha. I don't want to hear her marriage life anymore. I know it would be a nightmare. 🤣🤣🤣
The most important thing is that you stay enthusiastic and always healthy
Firstly, it might hurt seeing your best friend go with someone who is far low below her worth but since they are married there nothing to do again. Your Voice was really extraordinary
Hihi. I bet she'll have divorce years from now. Well, I'll just let her be happy for awhile. Thankv you for visiting @mayorkeys ❤️
Hoping so, thanks for sharing the post
Ohhh, I know this song, uwu. I heard this somewhere, I'm really not that much of a fun of her but I enjoy some of her sone uwu. And I enjoy this version of yours too. (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
Tagal na nyan, I think I first heard it when I was in Highschool. Sobrang gandang ganda ako sa Speak now ni mareng Taylor eh.
immediately after I finished listening to you I went to see the original, what a great and naughty song, your stage presence is great and congruent with what you sing, greetings.
