Hello my fellow music lovers in the Hive Open Mic community! I'm here with another entry for the special theme of this week "The Last Time". A theme that reminds me of one word, "Closure".
I had a bit of a hard time finding a song that would fit this theme better but I'm sure it's because I had less time to find one since I have had it in mind to share my entry today. Well, I browsed through my playlist and a song sounded perfect for the theme so I decided to cover it.
The meaning of the theme that fits my song choice is... "While we feel it's the last time, it is also a start to something new and if we would learn to regret less, we would be happier in the future" and my song choice is "For The Lover That I Lost" by Sam Smith, expressing one's sadness towards saying final goodbye to a lover.
From the first time I listened to this song, I felt it was so emotional even though I can't relate to losing a lover to death. But it is indeed a very sad experience nobody wants to go through. The song tends to be on a more positive light even though it has sad lyrics, the artist expresses gratitude for the time he had spent with his lover.
The pitch of the song is lower than my normal range at the end but I tried to sing as well as I could, I hope you enjoy my cover. Let me know what you think about the song, share your feedback in the comments. Until the next week!
Song Lyrics
Think about your lips and the way they kiss
There's so much I really miss about you
Sitting on the beach, you were still in reach
And I haven't felt free without you
All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, was tragic
And you're the last thing that I need
So I lay a dozen roses for the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices, even though I paid the cost
Oh all those nights, the lows and highs, I shared them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses, I lay them there, I lay them there for you
