STEEMIT OPENMIC WEEK 78 ENTRY : ASA'S JAILER ( COVER)

So I have been off the open mic community for over a month, and i do miss this community , all thanks to Hive account@luzcypher Hive account@krsytle Hive account@soundlegion Hive account@passion-ground Hive account@verbal-d and Hive account@meno for Manning the ship of open mic ,its an herculean task , maybe that's why immediately i had the chance to jump on the strings and do something I grabbed that opportunity!

I have been working on some low keyed projects on steemit ,and sooner than later it would suffice .....music has been fun all the way ,although i have been facing what we writers call "WRITERS BLOCK" but hope fully soon I'd be dropping new original materials, but for the now please do enjoy my cover materials on here.

Some quick selfies, for the Blockchain

Picking the right conducive venue for this record wasn't easy but with the help of my cousin, and Hive account@etemi who's always made her beautiful guitar PEL available, we was able to make magic with this beautiful song from ASA's first album ASA titled JAILER

The song is an uptempoed indie pop, jazz song, more details of Asa here.

Really she's a great artiste you should listen to her work she's one of the biggest export from Nigeria.

                                  "Jailer"

I'm in chains you're in chains too
I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms too
I'm a prisoner,
You're a prisoner too Mr Jailer

I have fears you have fears too
I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful
Don't you think so too Mr Jailer

[Chorus:]
I'm talking to you jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin -
Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer, Mr Jailer Man

You suppress all my strategies
You oppress every part of me
What you don't know,
You're a victim too Mr Jailer

You don't care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you treat me like a modern slave Mr Jailer

[Chorus]

You see, if you're walking in a market place
Don't throw stones
Even if you do, you just might hit
One of your own
Life is not about your policies
All the time
So you better rearrange your
Philosophies and be good to your Fellow man
Jailer

[Chorus x2]

I hear my baby say
I wanna be president
I wan chop money
From my government
What he don't know
What he won't know
What he can't know
Jailer, Jailer oh
Be good oh [x3] somebody
Be good oh [x6]
Jailer, Jailer
