Hive Music Festival Week 121 Round 1—ONE AND ONLY BY ADELE

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=emmaba1/eqooqiel A huge hello to all my fellow musicians on this wonderful Hive Web3 platform, and especially in this Music Zone community. It is always an absolute pleasure of mine to participate in this Hive Music Festival week after week alongside other great musicians across the globe. It is Hive Music Festival Week 121 Round 1, and I am going to be performing one of my favorite Adele songs, probably my most favorite, titledONE AND ONLY. I love this song for so many reasons. One of those reasons is that it is genuinely one of the few songs by Adele that goes against her brand, in a way, because she mostly sings songs that have a theme of heartbreak. She has even been dubbed The Heartbreak Queen by the entertainment media on multiple occasions. Among the plethora of heartbreak songs authored by Adele, it was such a breath of fresh air to discover this song that speaks of true love and longing for a singular partner, wanting them to be yours and wanting to be theirs. Another reason that I really love the song is that it really gives off a strong oldies vibe. Like the kind of sound Aretha Franklin and friends used to make in the 1900s. The organ sound in the song also gives it a certain feel of black church kinda choir music, in some weird way. I just love the instrumentation of the song as a whole. It was also perfectly produced with such a balanced mix. Then, the lyrics. Oh, the lyrics. I absolutely love the lyrics so so much. I dare you to let me be your one and only. I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms. Come on and give me the chance to prove that I'm the one who can walk the mile until the end starts. In my opinion, nothing beats the beauty of the lyrics of that chorus. It's unbelievably beautiful and romantic. Here is a YouTube link to a live performance of the original song by Adele herself. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g7U96o3f9FI" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" frameborder="0" > Here are the full lyrics of One and Only by Adele. You've been on my mind I grow fonder every day Lose myself in time Just thinking of your face God only knows why it's taken me So long to let my doubts go You're the only one that I want I don't know why I'm scared I've been here before Every feeling, every word I've imagined it all You'll never know if you never try To forget your past and simply be mine I dare you to let me be your, your one and only I promise I'm worthy To hold in your arms So come on and give me the chance To prove I am the one who can walk that mile Until the end starts If I've been on your mind You hang on every word I say Lose yourself in time At the mention of my name Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close And have you tell me Whichever road I choose, you'll go? I don't know why I'm scared 'Cause I've been here before Every feeling, every word I've imagined it all You'll never know if you never try To forget your past and simply be mine I dare you to let me be your, your one and only I promise I'm worthy, mm To hold in your arms So come on and give me the chance To prove I am the one who can walk that mile Until the end starts I hope you enjoyed my post. See you next week with another performance.
