Cover song: Silence- Marshmallow X Khalid
A brilliant combo of two of my favorite musicians and easily one of my favorite songs from summer 2017.
I remenber being obsessed with khalid and Marshmelo (among others) at the time, so hearing about the colab got me really excited and i don't know why but it was totally unexpected for me, plus khalid apeals to me cuz he sounds like he drinks too much and i had a drinking problem at the time which should not come as a surprise considering my name choice on here:))
Khalid's music has been very influencial to my music career, many nights i would stay up doing nothing but listening to his American Teen album...
That body of work was genius and really meant more to me than i can express with words, so i feel honored to perform this song here today.
I thought to try out something new with my video today!
Today we felt like playing around with the sun, keeping the camera static has been a thing for me but i got a hint from something @khaleesii said (can't remember what i was though) and thought to play around a little.
This video was done in my school compound while were still on strike.
The building i did my video in front of is called The Fountain block, don't ask me why cause i don't know either, it may have something to do with the multiple inclined lecture theatres on a evry floor perhaps. I basicaly has two wings which have a lecture theatre on each side from the ground floor to the 3rd floor.
That's enough about the building though. Today i bring a song i absolutely love with a prototype video shoot pattern with @khaleesii helping me out with the camera... thanks for everything!!
Silence by Khalid X Marshmallow
Lyrics
I'd rather be a lover than a fighter
cuz all my life i've been fighting
Never had a feeling of comfort
all this time i've been lying
And i never had someone to call my own
oh no i'm tired of caring
love only left me alone
now i'm at one with the silence
chorus
I found peace in your violence
can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and i've been silent for so long
I found peace in your violence
can't show me,there's no point in trying
i'm at one, and i've been silent for so long
(whistling)
I've been silent for too long
(whistling)
i've been silent for so long
verse 2
I'm in need of a saviour
and i'm not asking for favors
my while life i felt like a burden
i think too much and i hate it
I'm too used to being in the wrong
oh no, i'm tired of caring
Loving never gave me a home
So i'll sit here in the silence
I found peace in your violence
can't show me, there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and i've been silent for so long
I found peace in your violence
can't show me there's no point in trying
i'm at one, and i've been silent for too long
(whistling)
i've been silent fir too long
(whistling)
i've been silent for so long
I'm in need of a savior, and im not asking for favors.
What did you think about the video? I figured i would need a mic to pull this off better though.
Thank you for dropping by
Have a good one!!

I am not here for you today, instead to look at my work of art 😆 Nah, I am kidding, you are the work of art.
You did amazing as usual and it was better hearing it in person.
You did an amazing job @khaleesii, I was lucky to have you around… In all fairness I played for you like twice but it’s not like we’re counting sha😪
😆 you are counting clearly but it's fine.
We are almost even 🤪
I have the upper hand now so I don't mind.
I didn't mean you but whatever helps you sleep at night.
