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!
