Hive Open Mic | Week 79 | Justin Timberlake - Mirrors (Guitar Cover)

Hey there!

This week the theme is 'Mirrors on Earth' and the first song that came to mind was the song 'Mirrors' by Justin Timberlake. The song has made a recent comeback thanks to short video format platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. The song was released in 2013 and received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo performance. The music video also won two awards at MTV video music awards. I think it's a great song with nice lyrics. My interpretation of the song is it takes two to make a relationship work, like a mirror. Go through the good times and the hard times together. Especially when things get difficult, its important for the other person to 'reflect' and remind each other of the promises that were kept and continue working on it and be their best versions.

Here's the link to the original song if you haven't head it -

Lyrics to the song -

Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'm here tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

I made an acoustic cover of the song, found an acapella version of the song on Youtube, so I added guitars to it.
