Hello, Afri-Tunes community! It’s your boy @wealthwess, back for week #179 of our incredible musical event. I’m filled with energy and ready to share the vibes for this week. Today, I’m excited to present my cover of Gone For Good by the phenomenal Simi.
Simi is a Nigerian music finest, celebrated for her soul-stirring lyrics and a voice that feels like a gentle breeze on a warm day. Her ability to craft songs that blend raw emotion with captivating melodies is unmatched. Gone For Good is a masterpiece that showcases her signature storytelling, pulling listeners into a world of heartfelt reflection and bittersweet resolve. It’s a song that lingers in your heart, with every note carrying the weight of love, loss, and moving forward.
I chose Gone For Good for this week because it’s a track that resonates deeply. Its poignant lyrics and haunting melody capture the essence of letting go while cherishing memories that shaped us. It’s like a musical catharsis, speaking to anyone who’s ever had to say goodbye. I poured my heart into this cover, and I hope it connects with you as much as it does with me. Enjoy!
GONE FOR GOOD / LYRICS
The word around town Is that, you're back in town And I... try not to think about it, I try But it's been so long And I, thought I moved on But... now I really doubt it, I do I wonder why you even come It's almost like you having fun with me But oh if I set my eyes on you It's unavoidable, I'll come undone Oh I thought you were gone for good
So why do you have to pull me back Sheybi you say You won't be coming back o Damn you, this is really bad Sheybi you say You were gone for good
Wetin you do wrong Cause you knew all along I was doing okay without you You no want make I Try to move on Chai your heart is too strong Can't be with you and can't be without you The thing be say I Wonder why you even come It's almost like you having fun with me But oh if I set my eyes on you It's unavoidable, I'll come undone Oh I thought you were gone for good
