For my entry into the Vibes Web 3 Music Competition Week 28, I will be performing a cover of the song "Manners". This performance is particularly special because I am helping out a friend who, unfortunately, experienced some technical issues with their phone. They were excited to participate in this week’s challenge but couldn’t record their entry due to the unforeseen issue. I couldn’t let their hard work and passion go unrecognized, so I decided to step in and support them by performing their intended piece.
The song "Manners" holds a significant message, focusing on how vital it is to maintain good manners and character in our interactions with others. Its simplicity yet deep message resonated with me, and I found it an excellent choice for this week’s entry. The lyrics remind us to treat others with respect, love, and kindness, which is something I strive to reflect not only in my music but in everyday life.
Musically, this song has a beautiful melody, and performing it has allowed me to explore its dynamics and emotional depth. In this cover, I’ve done my best to remain true to the original essence of the song while also adding my unique touch to make the performance personal. My friend’s interpretation of the song, which I’ve kept in mind, helped me channel their vision into the performance. It’s important to me that their creative intention is honored.
Though my friend couldn’t be here for the recording, I believe that collaboration and teamwork are essential in music, and this entry represents that beautifully. Music is not only about individual expression but also about the community we build through it. Supporting each other, as I am doing in this case, is what makes the Web 3 music space so inspiring and unique.
I hope you enjoy this performance as much as I enjoyed preparing it. It’s a heartfelt offering to both the Web 3 community and my friend, whose dedication to music I deeply admire. Thank you to the Vibes Web 3 Music Competition for providing such a fantastic platform where artists can express themselves, collaborate, and share their talents with the world. I look forward to the feedback from this incredible community.
