Steemit Open Mic Week 72 - All I Ask

in #openmic7 years ago (edited)

After a 5-week hiatus, I've decided to take up the courage to participate in another #openmic competition. People that have known me for a bit knows that I hate failing, I hate to lose, I just totally suck at it. So while growing up, the 'brilliant' me decided to put the least amount of effort to prevent myself from experiencing those negative feelings. Well, looking back, that mentality has definitely not brought me anywhere.

So now that I got my wife pretty fired up to do covers, I felt it was a good time for me to give it a go. Of course this time I approach it in a slightly different manner. I aim to have fun myself and produce a feel-good feeling for my audience as well. If you have not known, @silviagoh simply adores Bruno Mars, and it just so happened that @stephhchia actually requested for this song, we decided to do it this week. Ok, I do know this is actually Adele's song but we love the rendition Bruno Mars sang and assumed my future sister-in-law shared the same taste. 😜

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what is coming next
Or scared of having nothing left

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that mattered
Tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

This is actually I see the face behind your wife's angelic voice. Beautiful song, and perfect for Valentine's day. I truly enjoyed listing to it. So raw, sung from a heart, and soul. Those are the most beautiful songs for me. :)

So thank you for sharing, my friend. Keep on playing, and keep on signing. Love it. :)

hey my buddy. thanks for dropping by. it's been awhile. I'm glad you enjoyed the song. we really enjoyed playing it as well! I hope you're doing well over there :)

yes. finally decided we shouldn't be shy anymore :p she has a blog herself! @silviagoh

Hey, brother. Sorry I have just been very busy. I am all over the place. Trying to write regularly, maintain Steam Engine group, and with my basketball practices and games. Just can't get around to everybody. But, I really want to stop by your profile more because I love you two. :)

I can see you guys enjoyed it. You can feel it. That is the best thing about it. You are singing from your heart and having fun doing it. That is what is all about. :)

And, yes she should not be shy. She has a beautiful voice. So keep the signing going. :)

no worries man. I know maintain a community take a lot of work! thanks for loving us! I drop by your profile every now and then as well :)

I'm slowly discovering that enjoyment is key to sustaining in Steemit. if not it'll definitely feel like a chore. it's a marathon. so got to enjoy every moment. really thank God I've got friends who share the same interest as well. do check out #steem-music if you happen to be free. it's the new initiative that I recently started. a lot of us are active on #thesteemengine as well :)

will definitely get her to sing more. I guess the shy thing is an 'Asian' thing. hehe

You both are really awesome! This is so goood!!

thanks! something new for me :)
