Before I dive in, I want to say a huge thank you to the amazing judges of the Vibes Community @lordbutterfly, @verbal-d and @silentscreamer. 🙌🎶 You’ve created such a beautiful space for artists to express themselves, connect, and grow, and I’m so honored to be part of it. 💛
For this week’s entry, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do a cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland, from the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz.
If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll remember that unforgettable moment when young Dorothy, feeling out of place and longing for something more, gazes at the sky and dreams of a magical land "somewhere over the rainbow." It’s a scene filled with both innocence and hope a reminder that sometimes, no matter how gray our skies look, there’s a brighter place ahead if we dare to dream. 🌈✨
PS: This is a picture of my younger sister who just graduated from the university of uyo... She dare to dream and now she has gotten the victory ✌️❤️❤️
This is the lyrics: Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh, why can't I? Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?
This song is such a timeless piece delicate, emotional, and full of meaning. Honestly, it was quite a challenge for me to perform it because it demands both vocal control and emotional depth. There were moments I doubted if I could do it justice… but we conquered it! 💪🎤 Every note became a step forward, every phrase a reminder to push past fear.
