Hey Hive community! 🌟
I'm thrilled to share my entry for the VIBES WEB 3 Contest Week 13. This week, I'm presenting a solo acoustic performance of my original song, "Wings of Thunder."
🎶 About the Song: "Wings of Thunder"
"Wings of Thunder" is a song close to my heart, encapsulating a journey of self-discovery and the struggle to transcend life's challenges. It's an introspective piece that blends soulful lyrics with a stripped-down acoustic arrangement, aiming to evoke deep emotions and reflection.
Lyrics and Analysis
One step inside the new day
And the night is over
Smoke in the sky rising high
And you`re growing older
These opening lines set the stage for the song's theme of transition and reflection. The imagery of stepping into a new day signifies a fresh start, while the rising smoke and growing older hint at the inevitable passage of time and the remnants of past experiences lingering in our lives.
Why cant you fly love divine* With your wings of thunder? *Why cant you fly love divine
With your wings of thunder?
The chorus poses a poignant question, using the metaphor of "wings of thunder" to symbolize powerful potential and the divine love within us. It reflects a yearning for liberation and the frustration of feeling grounded despite possessing the inner strength to soar.
Sun rising high in your eyes
Full of guilt and wonder
Storm in your mind
You are blind
You still feel the hunger
In the second verse, the contrast between the rising sun and internal storms depicts an internal conflict. The sun, representing clarity and enlightenment, clashes with feelings of guilt and wonder. This highlights the inner turmoil and the struggle to find balance and peace amidst chaos.
Why cant you fly love divine* With your wings of thunder? *Why cant you fly love divine
With your wings of thunder?
Repeating the chorus reinforces the central theme of the song. The persistent question underscores the ongoing struggle and the deep desire to unleash the powerful potential within.
🎤 Performance Details
In this solo acoustic performance, I aimed to convey the raw emotion and intimacy of "Wings of Thunder." Stripping back the arrangement allows the lyrics and melody to take center stage, creating a direct connection with the listener.
I hope you enjoy this performance and that the song resonates with you as much as it does with me. Thank you for your support and for being a part of this journey. Let’s continue to create, share, and inspire on the HIVE blockchain!
LYRICS
Wings of thunder
One step inside the new day
And the night is over
Smoke in the sky rising high
And you`re growing older
Why cant you fly love divine With your wings of thunder? Why cant you fly love divine
With your wings of thunder?
Sun rising high in your eyes
Full of guilt and wonder
Storm in your mind
You are blind
You still feel the hunger
Why cant you fly love divine With your wings of thunder? Why cant you fly love divine
With your wings of thunder?
Wonderful composition and playing! A fraternal embrace.

This was a wonderful original song and performance
You created quite the beautiful art piece, with poetic lyricism
We definitely should fly with the inner love residing in all of us
Just a suggestion, but maybe try one chorus with a climactic
Powerful and dramatic singing of the words to really drive this profound message home
I enjoyed it thoroughly, great job, looking forward to more of your originals
