Say Something (cover) || HIVE OPEN MIC Wk 118

Hello! This is my entry to the Hive Open Mic contest. I sang a cover of the song, Say Something by AGBW, a once popular song. The theme for this week is "Love Hurts," chosen by @Khaleesii.

I chose this song after discarding about a hundred other songs I had in mind; I am very sure many of us can relate to that. But other than the reason of it being the last resort, I actually chose this because it relates to a time when I, for once, actually truly loved someone and I had been let down. That broke me. Among the many songs that I added to my playlist then to help get by, this one was one of the few that could really relate to how I felt.

Love is actually a beautiful thing, but it is also a very powerful emotion. It can basically make or break you. However, if you ask me if I would love again, I would say absolutely.Love is sweet. All this "hard guy" stuff we are doing is not paying some of us. But, of course, I'm not going to paint my ex in a negative light.I made mistakes. So in the end, you could as well say that I hurt myself.

I know my entry is probably the last on the list, but I could not let another week pass without my entry, regardless of all that I have been through this week. I had actually been inspired by another user, @sekina, when I saw her entry for last week and I was absolutely pumped. And I figured this is a good way to channel that pain into something useful.

Before you go, I need to mention that this is my first time making a cover and producing one on FL Studio. Damn, it was hard. I applaud everyone who has participated in these Open Mic contests. My last cover was with a guitar. I thought that was hard. Now my opinions have changed. Oh well, I hope to keep at it so I can get better.

So, with all that said, "Say something" and let me know what you think. Please, be gentle; otherwise, you will make me come here with another heart-break song.
