Well well well guess we are at it again, another week to showcase artistry at its peak. Hello everyone welcome once again to another of the hive open mic. I am coderaikiri and for my entry today I'll be presenting a song cover to seasons in the sun by none other than one of the greatest boy band to ever walk the twenty first century- Westlife.... So stay tuned and let's get in the groove real quick.
The theme for the week is THE CHILDREN and so I chose to present this song. On the outside this song has nothing in common with the theme but if you look beyond the service, you'll find out that they both have a lot in common. The first thing I told myself before recording the video was confirming that no one loves the sun more than children so this song is literally for them. In the third verse, one of the singers literally said "little children everywhere, when you see them I'll be there" further solidifying my perspective. The first verse even starts with : "Goodbye to you my trusted friend, we've known each other since we were 9 or 10" highlighting a childhood fond memory where both parties had good times together....
I hope I am able to do justice to this wonderful song................. Thank you
Lyrics
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Goodbye papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
Yeah yeah yeah
Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
