I greet you all, fellow music lovers! I am @fortunebassey, and I'm super exited to be making my debut in this great community for week 110. To kick things off, I would be sharing a cover of "How Are You My Friend" by Johnny Drille.

As a musician, i strongly believe that music has the power to bring people together and bring up deep emotions. Johnny Drille's "How Are You My Friend" is a perfect example of this. This song has soulful melody and powerful lyrics, the song speaks directely speaks to the heart and reminds us of how important human connection is.

Throughtout my life, I have been blessed with incredible friendships that have shaped me into who i am today. This song speaks to me on a different level, as i have felt the highs and lows of strong friendship throughout my life.

I have discovered that music is a powerful medium to share our experiences and connecting with one another. It is my sincere desire to convey this emotions and experiences through my performance. I belive that by opening up and sharing my interpretation of this song, I hope to create a space where we can connect through the power of music.

Song lyrics
I know sometimes e be like say nobody send you that one na lie, I de for you, my friend

Padi no vex for me

You know I got you, na me be your friend indeed
The money don show now, I don keep some for you
You no go suffer rara
Cause anything i get na for me and you, yeah
