Hello guys, I'm glad to post my voice on vibes web 3 music competition. I've been writing but I decided to bring my voice to the table this week. I love this song because it reflects the value of inner richness over material wealth.
Thanks for listening. Lyrics below
COAT OF MANY COLORS BY DOLLY PARTON
Back through the years I go wandering once again.
back to the seasons of my youth.
I recall, a box of rags someone gave us, and how my mama put the rags to use.
They were rags of many colors, and every piece was small
and I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall.
Mama sewed the rags together, sewin every Piece with love
She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of.
As she sewed she told a story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colors, Joseph wore and then she said
"Perhaps this coat will bring you, good luck and hapiness."
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and mama blessed it with a kiss.
Chorus:
My coat of many colors that my mama made for me
Made only from rags, but I wore so proudly
Although we had no money I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me.
Tone Shift
So with patches on my britches, holes in both my shoes
in my coat of many colors, I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing, and making fun of me
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me.
And oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich.
And I told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the story, mama told me while sewed
And how my coat of many colors, was worth more than all their clothes.
But they didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
that one is only poor, only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money, but I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me.. Made just for me..

Nice post
Thanks so much.
You're welcome.
@ckole,
Great cover song choice, it suited your vocals well, you sung carefully and connected with the song. The lyrics are indeed a deep reflective meaning of what a mother's love can have on a child, and the lyrics remind me truly of the biblical story of Jacob giving a coat of many colors for his son Joseph, which I had just read yesterday again. You performed solidly, looking forward to what you show us next.
Thank you so much judge. I'm really moved by your comment, because I didn't expect it. It's an encouragement for me to come with something more better. I look forward to doing better in the next edition. Thanks a great deal.🫡
