Hive Open Mic Week 128 || From Now On (cover) || Jaydr and Sekani

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Hive Open Mic week 128 🥂🥰

Talking about heartbreak, it's one topic we all have one thing or two to contribute. Breakfast as we Nigerians have termed it isn't necessarily a damaged relationship, it can arise from failed expectations too.

Often I see people say things like heartbreak won't stop them from loving, meaning,love is such a beautiful experience that you don't mind being down over and over again, to find the one for you.

Speaking for myself, the one time I was really heartbroken, I'm not sure I ever want to experience that again but living in the reality of that pain would hinder my growth, so anyway, I had to pick myself up and move. Not only did I discover that, I saw a lot of other things I would've been blind to if I didn't experience all that.

This is a song from the musical: The Greatest Showman. The same was the story of Barnum. He was in blind pursuit of ambition, forgot the point of his hustle and eventually realized he had lost what mattered most to him. If failure didn't set in, he wouldn't have but he eventually realized he had lost everything and he had to go make things right.

It's an honor making a video with the great @jaydr🥳💃🏽. I had a wonderful time making this collab with @jaydr. Wonderful is an understatement infact, it was fun! You can imagine how many times we had to film individually. I'm glad we could make this happen and we hope you enjoyed it! 🥂

It's a pleasure to have done this with you too, I recall when the idea started and we were wondering how to pull it through, I m glad thought became action and action produced results. To be sincere, I have considered doing a collab with many Artistes on Hive, my first was with @mipiano , how she shocked me with her awesome performance still awes me, now you made look like every bit of ease with butter. It was a pleasure and so much fun and I see us doing more soonest.

Like @sekani said, it wasn't an easy task to pull so we wanted to share some bloopers hehehe

Here was one time I jumped into singing her part heheh

Lyrics

I saw the sun begin to dim
And felt that winter wind
Blow cold
A man learns who is there for him
When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold
'Cause from that rubble what remains
Can only be what's true
If all was lost
There's more I gained
'Cause it led me back to you

From now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight
Tonight
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on

I drank champagne with kings and queens
The politicians praised my name
But those were someone else's dreams
The pitfalls of the man I became
For years and years
I chased their cheers
A crazy speed of always needing more
But when I stop
And see you here
I remember who all this was for

And from now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight
It starts tonight
And let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on
From now on

And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!

From now on!

And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
From now on!
And we will come back home
From now on!
Home again!
And we will come back home
From now on!
And we will come back home
From now on!

Yes!

Home again!
And we will come back home
From now on!
And we will come back home
From now on!
Home again!

From now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight
It starts tonight
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart

From now on

From now on
From now on
From now on

And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!

From now on
From now on
Home again!

From now on
From now on
Home again!
