Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week 13 || Dance Monkey by Tones & I (Cover)

in Vibes6 months ago (edited)

Hi guys! This week has been quite overwhelming for me, and it's weird because it was a drag but everything also seemed to be on 2x speed.
I struggled with deciding a song to cover.
More daunting was the struggle to even want to cover a song in the first place.
Thank God for my friend's nudging @babymoyin.

I eventually settled on one of my long-time favorite songs, Dance monkey by Tones & I.
Recording was a hassle with bandlab acting up and I had to settle for a smule recording, which I'd say was alright.

One of the most beautiful things about this song is the contrast in the seemingly happy-go-lucky vibe it presents and what it's been said to actually depict.

The song describes the average human life, how we actively or passively live in patterned cycles because we have to or feel we need to.
In short, it's about being made to dance like a monkey to get through life's monotony.

As previously stated, I love this song and hope you enjoy my cover.❤

Lyrics
They say, oh my God I see the way you shine
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
I said, "Oh my God I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes"
Just like a monkey, I've been dancing my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
Ooh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh
Ooh
Ah, ah, ah
They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
All again
