    hello friends of the #openmic community
    How are you all friends? I hope we are always healthy.
    I'm @samuelstifen, I'm very satisfied with my performance last week and very happy to be given the opportunity to choose a theme. I hope this openmic event goes smoothly. I hope we can also be more enthusiastic about creating. I also know that doing work as part of our hobby feels very boring, It's tiring. I hope we can stay enthusiastic about channeling our hobbies here.

    For Hive Open Mic 195, the theme follows: "Amistad." In English it means: "Friendship". This theme was chosen by : @nazatpt .

    I would like to thank the theme selectors, this theme is very impressive.
    In my opinion, friendship may be an ordinary word, but the meaning of friendship is very big, but unfortunately there must be separation when you have to choose your path in your future.

    I also remember my friend, that for me every meeting there would be no separation, in the end my perception of this was wrong, I instead accepted the release of my friend who had to go to pursue his future.
    I rarely heard from him there, I didn't know he never contacted me, I can only understand that every human being has their own path.

    and for week 195 I performed an Avenged Sevenfold song entitled So Far Away which I covered with guitar, maybe it's rare for me to cover guitar, today I hope all my friends will enjoy my performance.

    and by the way, Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. The band's current formation consists of vocalist M. Shadows, rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance, lead guitarist Synyster Gates, bassist Johnny Christ, and drummer Brooks Wackerman (replacement drummer for the late rev)

    and this song turned out to be after I traced the meaning of the story of this song. The lyrical verses are a tribute to their drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who died in December 2009.

    As previously reported by Rollingstone magazine, Jimmy "The Rev Sullivan" died due to an overdose of drugs and alcohol.

    the guitarist, namely Synyster Gates, in an interview on Avenged Sevenfold's official YouTube channel said that in fact the verses of the song were actually written or created in memory of his grandfather who had died.

    However, following the death of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, the lyrics of this song were slightly changed because Avenged Sevenfold also wanted to commemorate the passing of their beloved drummer in this song.

    The words "So Far Away" are used as the title and repeated throughout the song, to indicate that the Avenged Sevenfold band members really miss Jimmy's presence.

    However, because Jimmy has died, it feels like Jimmy is so far away and will definitely never come back.
    This song was released in 2010 after a year of the drummer's departure, everything felt destroyed when their friend from childhood had to be called first by God.

    We never know when someone will be gone, we can only live the rest of our lives on earth and have fun with those around us. However, death is not the end of life, but the beginning of a new life.

    seeing the members of Avenged Sevenfold who had to endure the disappointment of piercing pain and sadness in their lives, remembering me after my friend left at the age of 17, the friend I considered my own brother, finally had to leave first, I was very devastated at that time, within a week I just cried , contemplating and being silent, I hope my hope for him is always peace in his heart and comfort in his new place.
    In the end I realized that I believe that every meeting has a farewell, whether it's farewell in death or leaving for something you want to achieve. But even though it has to go, make it still a precious moment. We have gone through difficult things and are happy together. Because we We can't force someone to stay, because we have to accept it for our happiness and that of our friends.

    LYRICH-SO FAR AWAY

    Never feared for anything
    Never shamed but never free
    A life that healed the broken heart with all that it could

    Lived a life so endlessly
    Saw beyond what others see
    I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

    Will you stay?
    Will you stay away forever?

    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    I have so much to say but you're so far away

    Plans of what our futures hold
    Foolish lies of growing old
    It seems we're so invincible
    The truth is so cold

    A final song, a last request
    A perfect chapter laid to rest
    Now and then I try to find
    A place in my mind
    Where you can stay
    You can stay awake forever

    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    I have so much to say but you're so far away

    Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
    The ones that we love are here with me
    Lay away a place for me (place for me)
    'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
    To live eternally

    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    And the light you left remains
    But it's so hard to stay
    When I have so much to say and you're so far away

    I love you, you were ready
    The pain is strong and urges rise
    But I'll see you, when He lets me
    Your pain is gone, your hands untied

    So far away (so far)
    And I need you to know
    So far away (so far)
    And I need you to, need you to know
    source

    and maybe that's all I can give for the theme and meaning of this week's song. I hope we stay healthy and enthusiastic about living the rest of our lives in this world, always provide positive things around us, because that's our job in this world.
    I hope my friends can enjoy my performance. Thank you for always supporting me with all my works, I hope my works can give a useful impression here.
    once again I say,
    THANKYOU
