Hive Open Mic Week 104 || Rock N Roll Band - Superman Is Dead (Cover) by @heartofdarkness

Hello, friends in the #openmic community. This week I tried to come back with a cappella singing (without background music). The song I sing is entitled "Rock N Roll Band" which was popularized by a band from Bali, "Superman Is Dead". The first time I listened to this song was when I was in junior high school in 2005. This song is very suitable for my situation when I was a teenager.

When I was in junior high school, the youth no longer had a burning soul. What I mean is, in those days, young people were poisoned by the glamorous life of celebrities. A crybaby mentality, and a hobby with discotheques. The media is no longer presenting a very progressive rock culture. The presence of the band Superman Is Dead along with their songs, raises the enthusiasm of young men and women to revive the Rock generation.

For me, this is one of the songs that revived the spirit of Rock N Roll musicians who had been drowned by popular culture. With the presence of this song, the rock musicians returned to work and showed their fangs to the media. Shows the existence of Rock N Roll that should never die. The lyrics of this song are;

"There's a reason we standing today
Like a reason we fight for what we love
Thousand hopes in my generation, breaking down
Radio there is no distortion
Television consumed you to the bone
So i said, let's make resolution never fade

Not here for those teenage icons, were just not them
John bo, boots and tiger prints, here we go

Coz we are rock and roll band
Born to rock
Coz we are rock and roll band
Yeah,we rock
Coz we are rock and roll band
Coz we are rock and roll now
And all these could feel it all along

There's a price for youth degradation
Don't believe in truth manipulation
Good and truth, we'll make it
Beautiful somehow

Not here for identity fight We're just the same
Hardcore, punk, oi ,skinhead, rude boys, sing with me

Coz we are rock and roll band
Born to rock
Coz we are rock and roll band
Yeah,we rock
Coz we are rock and roll band
Coz we are rock and roll now
And all these could feel it

Upper glass, forget the past
Join and joy to sing with us
Brighter sky for tomorrow
is there for you and star
Star up high”
