Filipino Hive Open Mic Week #1 | My Version of Cry

Howdy Hivers! And to all who loves music out there! Hope you are all having a lovely time!

check out more info here for Filipino Hive Open Mic thanks for doing this contest! You rock!Today I wanted to share my participation to an awesome contest initiated by @olivia08 ,

So what song do i have for you? It's Mandy Moore's 'Cry'. I choose this because aside from the fact that it doean't require a very high tone which I am comfortable singing with, coz you know I don't wanna look and sound like trying hard to be Beyonce, Mariah or Celine Dion like, haha. So there, another reason is that, this has been a favorite part of my younger years because i knew this song when the movie 'A Walk to Remember was released, and that was a hearfelt one. It's like literally cry that you would cry for that movie, a lot of realizations, love, health and family. But you know what, that was not just that, this song gave me more meaning because of my partner right now. This song for me meant that, the one singing was pertaining to someone who ia important to her that she thought was very insensitive, was very selfish, was a loner and someone who didn't care at all, until she saw hime so down and crying. I've got tha same feelign and have experienced that with hubby, he's not a loud person, most of the time he just wants silence, before when we were just new lovers just thought he changed and he was out of this world and all that weirdness, until that one time I witness how soft he is, when he got to made a big decision in life that really made him cry. I knew from then that he has bigger heart than mine and that even though we are exact opposites we will always be attractwd to each other no matter what. That's how I see this song, a girl wanted to make his man feel better, to hug, to talk to him and to tell him that everything's gonna be alright... Hoo! I've almost cried at the moment of writing, but instead i smiled thinking that it was a beautiful memory that made us stronger for a decade now...

We can cry.. even boys of course! It's not a sign of weakness, but instead, a sign of being brave, having the courage to accept thinfs and move forward to be better.

So here's the lyrics of the song and my official video entry for this contest, please excuse mah face 😅

I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon, yeah
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry (cry)
(Moment that I saw you cry)
It was late in September
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything
All right
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
In places no one will find
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (forever was in your eyes)
Was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
Baby cry
Moment that I saw you cry
Oh no, no
I think I saw you cry
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to know you

I am inviting @bloghound to join this contest, lezzgo!
