Hello music lover.
It's Vibes Web 3.0 Music Competition Week 12 and is here with an original song "Pulled Close, Pulled Away".
Before we dive in, I must say that the first 11 weeks of this competition have been amazing, I've watched several talented singers and instrumentalists, taken part in the competition, connected with others in the community and also received feedback from some friends who came around and most especially from one of our judges, . I am grateful for this opportunity and the awesome impact the Vibes team
, and
have made in the lives of singers and music performers through Hive (I often say it's "the real Web3", of course, it is 😉).
I started composing this song a few days ago, finished the second verse and the bridge this early morning (around 3 am) and had to practise it. I thought I would miss this week's competition but I'm here now to give a piece of this side of me.
This song is about beginning a good friendship, understanding the importance of good communication and other qualities that make friendships last and along the line, the guy begins to show interest in the lady's life and future without defining what exactly he is looking forward to, lol. Oh! He had been heartbroken twice, and wouldn't want to experience another. If he knew the lady he was communicating with, it wouldn't have been something to worry about 🙃. He expressed how painful it was.
Anyway, he asked the lady one of the days they had a conversation; what could be the reason for someone not to be with the one he/she loves? Well, the lady gave reasons and they continued with the conversation. At that point, she suspected what went through his mind but didn't let it bother her. The friendship kept growing until there was a withdrawal in communication. She tried to find out if she did anything wrong and he confirmed there was nothing she did wrong and if there had been, he would have spoken.
I don't know if this has happened to you but yeah, I experienced it. You know it hurts to have someone you communicate with very well or build a friendship with, without a reason, the person stops communicating as usual and only breezes in when a heavy wind blows, lol. You wonder if the person is confused or if you did something wrong but anything can happen. We are not perfect but at times, we want to know the reason for one's actions which we might not get in the end.
So, now you know, this is my brief story penned in this lyrics. I hope you read up to this point, read the rest in the lyrics and enjoy my performance. Watch it here 👇
PULLED CLOSE, PULLED AWAY LYRICS
Verse 1
You watched from a distance
Then pulled close to have an insight
This is real and natural, you felt so
The vibes kept burning and beaming
I've found love, so you thought
The interest signals rose
Fear crept in, the unknown
Not ready to risk, what exactly
A heartbreak? Maybe you tell me
Chorus
In all you felt, you knew it was real
Decent the way it should be
But now you're scared, the reason untold
Speechless, you can't explain
Maybe confused, not good for a man
Scared of the unknown
All we left behind are footprints
Verse 2
What could be the reason
Not to be with the one you love?
That was your question, your fears
But I gave you reasons, should have known
Wrapped in fears, didn't you know
It'll become a reality
It happened, it's all fine
We learnt from each other
Brains sharp, always conversing
Chorus
In all you felt, you knew it was real
Decent the way it should be
But now you're scared, the reason untold
Speechless, you can't explain
Maybe confused, not good for a man
Scared of the unknown
All we left behind are footprints
Bridge
Not new to me
Never expected from you
Your fears became your reality
Hope you know better now
Not to pull the same
In your next one... ooh!
Chorus
In all you felt, you knew it was real
Decent the way it should be
But now you're scared, the reason untold
Speechless, you can't explain
Maybe confused, not good for a man
Scared of the unknown
All we left behind, all we left behind, all we left behind are footprints.
