hello #musiczone community friends
I'm @samuelstifen from Indonesia, living in the city of Medan.
come back again to take part in this week's Musiczone event.
Now the music zone has entered its 54th week, after I saw the performances of the people here it was really cool and extraordinary and displayed their talents in music and I also want to give my performance as best as possible, and
After I watched this weekly program, I saw that Musiczone was getting more and more advanced and more and more musicians were becoming more creative and working with their own abilities. Here we know that every human being has strengths and weaknesses and for all of us, don't ever get tired of performing your best work, because art is not measured by how good we are at music, but seen in terms of how we convey this music to everyone with all our hearts to enjoy it.
So, keep your enthusiasm for music. and this event is all thanks to the people who participated and also the support from the parties who held this event. until we can be creative like this, I'm really happy to be able to take part in this event. and I am also proud of the parties who held this event. Thank you for creating something positive and providing support to the musicians here. to work deeper.

and this week the Hive music festival has entered its 54th week and is in round number 3.

and in this 54th week I brought a song about peace.
Maybe this year we will not experience world peace or peace between countries and nations.
As we saw this year, how hard the war between Israel and Palestine was just for power. The clashes have never ended from last year until now.
We cannot corner which country is at fault, we only hope for peace between the two countries to be reconciled quickly.
because I heard a lot of news in my country that Israel was the cornerstone of the war, I didn't know that this was an issue or fact that was being reported in the world. between religions.
let us make peace with each other and create beauty from ourselves for the people around us. And maybe we also feel that in our own country there is no peace yet and there are still rebellions.
because what we want is world peace, an end to hostilities between countries in the world. To be able to live in prosperity, of course every country needs to prioritize peace. In this case, peace is related to harmony, happiness, justice and freedom.

like the song I brought, entitled Imagine, from the legendary musician John Lennon. Even though he died cruelly, he created this song and the lyrics he wrote are very touching for this world.

LYRICH-IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

In the first verse, you as a listener are asked to imagine if heaven and hell did not exist, and there was only sky above. It can be interpreted that we as humans must live by caring for each other and doing good to each other, without thinking about anything in return. Then imagine, if everyone lived a peaceful life by caring and loving each other for today.

Then in the second verse, you are asked to imagine as if there were no such thing as a country in this world, so that there would no longer be divisions that would require people from one country to kill people from other countries for the sake of the glory of their own country. Furthermore, most of the wars that have occurred in the past and even today are due to disputes between countries and religious groups. Which certainly took many lives, so John Lennon asked his listeners to imagine that if everyone lived in peace, the world would definitely be more beautiful.

In the chorus verse, John Lennon seems to realize that people will call him a dreamer, but he knows that he is not the only one who dreams of a world with peace. So he can only hope that one day these people will join him and the other 'dreamers', so that then the world will be united.

This song was released in 1971, then peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 6 in the United Kingdom. In 2004, this song was selected as the third best song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Even the former president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, revealed that the song "Imagine" was played in almost 125 countries he visited, as often as the national anthem.

Maybe that's all I can convey in terms of the meaning of the song I'm performing. I hope my friends enjoy my performance and after reading the presentation I can enjoy it. Thank you to my friends too.
I would like to express my gratitude.​
