What’s up, everyone? I am @theofficialmide and I’m glad to be here again. This is my entry for Vibes Web3 competition #week 10 and the theme for this week is

Eurovision

In the world of music, there are songs that transcend mere notes and lyrics to become the soundtrack of our lives. These are the songs that resonate with our personal stories, echoing the highs and lows of our emotional landscapes. One such song that has captivated millions around the globe is Adele's soul-stirring ballad, "Easy On Me." Today, I am honored to share with you my journey with this beautiful piece of art, a journey that culminated in a heartfelt performance for a prestigious music competition.

I still remember the first time I heard "Easy On Me. As the opening piano chords filled the room, I felt a sense of stillness, a rare moment of peace in the chaos of everyday life. Adele's voice, powerful yet vulnerable, spoke to me as if she knew the very struggles I was facing. It was in that moment that I knew this song would become a part of my story.

As I listened to "Easy On Me" on repeat, I found myself connecting with its message on a profound level. The song speaks of change, of forgiveness, and of the courage to let go. It was as if Adele had reached into the depths of my soul and put into words the feelings I couldn't express. The lyrics became my solace, a reminder that it's okay to be imperfect, to make mistakes, and to ask for understanding from those we love.

The decision to perform Easy On Me for the competition was one that came from the heart. I knew that to do justice to the song, I would need to not only master its technical aspects but also convey the raw emotion that it deserved. I spent countless hours practicing, perfecting every note, every inflection, and every breath. But more importantly, I spent time reflecting on my own experiences, drawing from them the authenticity needed to bring the song to life.

The new week for the competition started and with it came a whirlwind of emotions. Seeing other entries and contests I could feel the weight of the moment, the anticipation of the audience, and the personal significance of the song I’m choosing to perform..

My performance of "Easy On Me" was more than just a bid to win a competition… it was a message of empathy and self-compassion. Through the song, I wanted to convey the importance of being gentle with ourselves, of recognizing our journey, and of allowing ourselves the space to heal and grow. It was a message I hoped would resonate with others, just as it had with me.

As the final notes of "Easy On Me" faded away, I felt a sense of accomplishment and connection. I had shared a piece of myself through Adele's words, and in doing so, I had embraced the vulnerability that comes with true expression. Whether or not I win the competition is secondary to the personal victory I achieved that day… the victory of overcoming fear and embracing the transformative power of music.

Now, as I share this video with you, I invite you to join me on this journey. Watch, listen, and perhaps find a piece of your own story within the melody. If my rendition moves you, I would be grateful for your support in the competition. But more than that, I hope it serves as a reminder to be easy on yourself, to cherish your journey, and to always find solace in the songs that speak to your soul.

SONG LYRICS

There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
There ain't no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I've tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
It probably doesn't even show
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
