My three blessings, Eden, Jack and Lee
I hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack is a very special song for me. I was on a flight to the Isle of Man with a friend of mine and the video was showing on the flight. It had a profound effect on me and I shared my love for it with my daughter Eden.
Over the years, it has remained a special song for us.
Eden surprised me and said that she would help me make an entry for Vibes using this song and the back up voices of my two sons, Jack and Lee - and some Adlibs from her.
This is like an early birthday present for my 74th in August. A while back we decided that we only wanted memories for our birthdays - and this Is going to be very special. She has made me a very happy mother❤️
To make the video my son Lee filmed me here in Holland near where we are living - thank you Lee - ❤️and Eden had to make the footage work with the song. ❤️🥰 I requested parts of the original song to be shown in the video and I believe she has handled that perfectly.
I need to mention that all of this was done under extreme pressure as we moved from Cyprus and I came to join my son in Amsterdam and Eden, after flying with me to Amsterdam left almost two weeks ago to go to Johannesburg, South Africa.
While in Amsterdam Eden recorded Lee’s voice for the song and Jack was sent the melody to add his voice. - thank you Jack ❤️ Many hours put into achieving this
So, amid packing up our home in Cyprus, travelling to Amsterdam together and Eden leaving for South Africa she managed today to get this YouTube video together for me.
Also, it was so good that @lordbutterfly liked my suggestion of a theme to go back in time and find a song or lyrics from the past. 🙏 @edenmichelle had set the idea for me when she entered the very first song that she wrote - at the age of fourteen - Photograph and then Marica @silentscreamer put up a video of one of her earlier performances and Eden casually said to me that she thought it would be lovely to see that from other artists and hence the idea was born.
Its been a real treat to see the artists on Vibes Web3 showing us their roots and early influencers 🎵🎹🎼🎶🪕🎸🎻📻🎷🎤

Thanks to you my precious daughter - I could never do it without you and all the hard work you put into this when you are so busy. ❤️💕
This is the most emotional song I have ever encountered in a long time. You are amazing mam, you made me reflect on so many things and on times that have failed to dance. These words are so powerful that they almost made me cry 😢
Ah thank you @ernesto6402 for such amazing and encouraging words for me. This makes it all worth while. And, I often want to cry when I hear this song - the lyrics are truly powerful. It's an honour to do a cover of it.

You are welcome dear
Yes, the video editing is great. This was done by @edenmichelle my daughter and she also took remote footage from us over the internet and from my other son from Cyprus. The editing she did in South Africa - she is quite a genius - so lucky to have her to help me. I look forward to seeing your entry.
That's excellent
I hope to do a song that meets your taste
Looking forward to it
What beautiful words @pandamama, I will try to keep on dancing, even though my heart is sore today.
You sang beautifully, and the video is awesome.
You are a blessed mama with your beautiful children. Well done to all of you!
Please keep dancing my precious friend. It makes me sad to think that your heart is sore today. Wish I was there to give you a big bear hug - but hopefully Eden will see you soon and she can do it for me🐼hug. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗
Thank you, my friend, last year this time I had no idea that I would be getting that awful telephone call.
My heart goes out to you - really Lizelle - may God bless and comfort you.

Thank you @obaro and yes, we do look alike (poor Eden) - haha I also looked like my late mother and I can see Eden in her as well. thank you for appreciating the bond that exists in my family.
I too am so proud of you Christine. I see now where Eden gets her drive and talent. It's all just so amazing. I have already passed it on to so many groups. Firstly because it's inspiration for us oldies to do better and because it is really a beautiful song sung beautifully.
Thank you so much my dear friend. Your compliments mean a lot to me ❤️
I haven't heard that song in much too long! Not only is it a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics but you sang it in a way that touches my heart. The video is beautiful and I feel that you are not only singing to your children, but to each of us. Thank you! ♥️
Thank you Melinda - that is such a beautiful compliment and yes, I love this song so much and so happy to see how people are being blessed by it. It was so wonderful that my children were involved with the making of this video for me - each played a part - thank you so much for your support @melinda010100
What wonderful song from you. It made me feel inspired giving faith a fighting chance. Life is hard and I hope we still all find a time to sit it out or dance. Best wishes!
