Steemit Open Mic Week # 80 - Sign of the Times by Harry Styles (Ukulele Cover)

in #openmic7 years ago (edited)


Hi Friends!

Here is my entry for this week's open mic contest. I love this song because it really encapsulates both tenderness and power. The lyrics speak of both hope and despair and I love the range this song offers - jumping from low to high quickly.

Ps... if you enjoy seeing music here on the platform - I would highly recommend following and supporting @luzcypher if you aren't already. He and the entire open mic team pour so much time, energy, sweat and tears into this weekly contest - and their hard work has created a safe space for musicians to share their talents. It is so much more than just a contest... it is an entire community.

Here are the lyrics to "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles:


Just stop your crying
It's a sign of the times
Welcome to the final show
Hope you're wearing your best clothes
You can't bribe the door on your way to the sky
You look pretty good down here
But you ain't really good
If we never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets?
The bullets
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets?
The bullets
Just stop your crying
It's a sign of the times
We gotta get away from here
We gotta get away from here
Just stop your crying
It'll be alright
They told me that the end is near
We gotta get away from here
Just stop your crying
Have the time of your life
Breaking through the atmosphere
And things are pretty good from here
Remember everything will be alright
We can meet again somewhere
Somewhere far away from here
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets?
The bullets
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets?
The bullets
Just stop your crying
It's a sign of the times
We gotta get away from here
We gotta get away from here
Stop your crying
Baby, it will be alright
They told me that the end is near
We gotta get away from here

DARREN!! This is so funny, because I was literally just thinking about you, and was about to go seek out your page.

That is So exciting to hear that you are posting on Dtube more now! I’ll have to go check out some of your latest songs. I can only imagine how many awesome originals you have up since I last checked. :-)

Let's do a song on the guitar with my violin and you two singing, it would be great and as he said @darrenclaxton the magic of the internet can do a lot, join and mix and sure you would hear genialllll @coruscate I would be happy hehehehe

What a good interpretation I really admire how you sing, it would be excellent playing the violin and singing, it would be a very good idea hehehe regards. And you will continue on the list of winners

Aww that would be beautiful!! Maybe sometime my sister @maryjaney and I can do a harmonized version and I’ll play the piano and she can play the violin.

Thanks for the great idea! I’m so glad you enjoyed this cover! ♥️

Well it would be great your voice is very warm and accompany it with a piano and the most beautiful instrument that is the violin, uffff sure to be spectacular. Pity that I live very far because I play violin the most beautiful instrument that I know hehehe and it would be great to play and that you will sing. So that you can see my work, violinist, spend your time in my recent entrance, imagine your singing one of those songs and in the background, the violin? Animate

I just listened, and you are such a beautiful violin player!! I wish we lived closer to each other as well! It’ll be so fun to hang out and play music together. :-)

Thank you and since I follow you because I really admire a lot as you sing and if you give a good accompaniment hehehe, and it's good that you liked my cover I enjoyed it a lot, making it more enjoyable every day and making a lot more experience. You see me more often here :)
