Hello, dear brothers and sisters of the Hive Open Mic community. Greetings and blessings to us all. I am Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu band, back again to fill the weekly #openmic event which has now entered week 176 with the theme Gratitude chosen by our friend @ernesto6402. This is a very interesting theme, so I brought a cover song called "Punk Is Attitude" by MCPR.

This song explains the true meaning of Punk, about independence and equality. From this theme, I am grateful because in my life journey after knowing the world of punk. For me, punk is not just a street community, but a deep philosophy of life. Punk taught me valuable values of independence and equality. Through the teachings of punk, I learnt how important it is to have independence in living life and being able to stand firm without relying on others.

Not only that, in the punk world, differences are valued and considered as wealth. This concept teaches that differences are something to be celebrated, not avoided. No hierarchy distinguishes one individual from another, we are all equal. My gratitude deepens as I have been allowed to understand that in the punk world, there is no room for discrimination or judgment based on social status or background.

Punk music has also played an important role in my life journey. When I first learnt to play the bass, the music I played was upbeat Punk music and the powerful lyrics inspired me to stick to the values I learnt from the punk world. Through punk songs, I feel the energy and passion to fight for what I believe in, unafraid to speak out on important issues that many may find controversial.

My gratitude grew along with my understanding and experience in the punk scene. The teachings of self-reliance, equality, and respect for differences have given me a deeper outlook on life. I am grateful to have known punk and its spirit that taught me to live with integrity and courage.

Below are the lyrics and translation

Indonesian Lyrics

Oi! lihatlah kembali
tentang apa yang kita jalani
Berpuluh tahun t'lah berlalu,
tak terhenti
Di jalanan temukan
berjuta esensi kehidupan
Tentang arti yang sejati,
berdikari

Bukan tentang apa yang ada di hidupmu
Tapi tentang jalan pikiranmu
Bukan tentang apa yang kita kenakan
Tapi apa yang kita banggakan

Punk mengajarkan kita 'tuk mandiri
Bekerja keras di atas kaki sendiri
Punk mengajarkan kita 'tuk setara
Walau dalam beda, tetap bersama

English Translated Lyric

Oi! look back
of what we lived through
Decades have passed,
unstoppable
On the streets find
millions of essences of life
About the true meaning,
self-sufficient

It's not about what's in your life
But about the way you think
It's not about what we wear
But what we're proud of

Punk teaches us to be independent
Work hard on our own feet
Punk teaches us to be equal
Despite the differences, stay together

Thank you very much for watching and listening to my cover song today. I hope, from this cover song that I played, everyone can understand the real values of punk. I recorded this song with several devices. I made the drum sound with the RealDrum app on my Android phone. I also used my friend's acoustic guitar and added distortion effects in Adobe Audition editing software. Until the final stage, I put the audio and visuals together using Adobe Premiere Pro software. Thank you very much, greetings and blessings.
