Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Vibes Community. My name is Jasper, and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town, South Africa! Welcome to Week 11 of the Vibes Web3 Music Competition!
Today I would like to sing you an original song I have written called “She’s Only Sleeping”. This one is quite sad, just so you're warned!
In my mind, it is a song about a parent comforting a grieving child. Even in my own mind it has sometimes been a beloved pet that has passed away, while at other times it has been a grandmother. I think it is good that I leave that ambiguous and let each person who hears it decide for themselves. For many older people it could be about their own mother I suppose!
I hope you like this one despite the sad theme! Thank you for listening! Best of luck to everyone entering the Contest!

Lyrics to “She’s Only Sleeping!” by @jasperdick (original)
She watched you play she watched you grow She loved you more than you could know We always knew that it would end this way As she got older everyday…
But baby don’t cry, you and I know she’s only sleeping Baby don’t cry, it’s never goodbye, no use in weeping She’s still watching you and sending all her love She’s still watching you but now it’s from above Because we know, that’s where the good ones go…
Oh how she loved to watch you play She waited for you everyday And we always knew that this day would come Now that her time on Earth is done…
But baby don’t cry, you and I know she’s only sleeping Baby don’t cry, it’s never goodbye, no use in weeping She’s still watching you and sending all her love She’s still watching you but now it’s from above Because we know, that’s where the good ones go…
