Drowning Shadows- almostsober(cover)

So i'm back in Otuoke my school community to tend to some unfinished business. I've been singing in doors a lot today and i just had a feeling to go go out to the university compound, at the center there's a building called the fountain block which has now become my most recent outdoor singing spot. Even though there were a few people passing and watching while i sang, it's a far cry from when school is in session plus it helps me work on my shyness problem so i'll be doing a lot more singing here as well as in other open spaces. I've found that singing out in the open makes me feel like a bird with plenty sky.

Today i bring you a song from Sam smith's In the lonely hour albulm, a body of work that was my companion for the most part of 2015. The songs on that body of work were therapeutic for me in that i saw someone who could relate to my pain and express them in such an artistic way. I was greatly inspired and it helped me shed a tear or two when i need it. I relish this opportunity to perform this iconic sad song and even though the original has a piano accompaniment, I hope you enjoy my acapella rendition.

I made this video in a single take as part of a personal training technique, please tell me what you thought of it : )

Drowning shadows

Running a round
chasing hearts
chasing bodies to fix the parts

I dont know how
I reached this place
So far from heaven,
so far from grace
Am i wrong to give into the pressure chz i feel like this city's got the better of me
All this casual love isn't what it seems
and i try to imagine something closer to somebody who is good for me
i'm so tired of all this searching
do i do i do i
do i go home to nothing
or stay out for more
give into someone
or lock down my door
I'll drown all of my shadows
drown them like before
i'm drowning shadows once more
once more
once more

go home to nothing or stay out for more
and i drown all of my shadows
drown them like before
i'm drowning shadows once more

Origin song by Sam Smith

Thank you… It’s actually my second time, I’ve meant to but i just haven’t got reasons unknown. It’s definitely something I’ll like to try more often and improve on though

I guess we’ll have to wait and find out, the future can often not be told with complete certainty 😁

This sounds like freedom indeed! and you sang indeed freely here!!

So, school is back or still not? I hope all can be resolved soon with that situation!

School doesn’t look like coming back in a while… It’s fine though cuz there’s been a lot on my tab lately I think I can forgive myself for the time being. I did put in an application for thevoicenigeria at the last minute too so I’m basically open to whatever really… for me it’s a time to explore new territory, I’m definitely not letting these people decide my fate.

I am sorry to hear that school is not back, but I see you can transform this situation into something new that will help you maybe in another field. For sure, that is the way to go, not letting others decide your fate!

Right, I’m very eager to see where this road leads off into… exciting times basically.
Have been able to get the song down? And I sure do hope your pinky has come around.

They’re going quite well and thanks to your wishes😁
I got an opportunity to supervise a civil engineering project, it’s a first for me so I guess we’re off to a great start so far. I’ve got a window today so I’ll grind out some content so this account doesn’t get frozen :)

Please record the gig🥺🥺

Bro, you've got such a nice voice. I wonder why I don't see your posts even though I'm already following you. I had to unfollow and refollow just to be sure.
