“Singing Contest”

_{edited using canva}

I love singing emotional songs, and personally, all my emotional songs bring back a memory. It's a love song I want to sing, though I've not been in love, but an event made me remember this song. When they say love is in the air, a couple in a wedding sang an emotional song in their wedding that made everyone long to marry the next day. Let me tell you about the song I sang first. Heard of this Afro beat Nigerian song follow you?

Follow You is a song sung by two artists Chike ft Gyakie. The concept about their song together is to portray love. Most people today who find someone they love so much would want to follow that person anywhere the person goes to show their love for them. Someone even boarded a plane to meet the love of his life in a faraway land. Some men even say they'll travel the world with the love of their life and give them everything.

So this isn't a marriage situation where love has already existed. The song is a proposition to someone that is loved before agreeing to marry the person. Everything is just between two people. So I wasn't just singing this song because I have someone, but because it's a couple song in a wedding, and the way they sang the song made me shout in that wedding venue.

It's actually a duet between two people, and it's exclusively voices between a male and a female. These two voices must harmonise and blend together in a unique way, and in the song, the masculine voice came first while the feminine voice came second. The chorus is sung by both of them in a harmonious way.

I decided to try it with different voices in one voice. I went cool with the first stanza, and I expressed every emotion in the song. As for the line 👇🏽👇🏽

Baby, know that I'm not crazy
You know that I'm not lazy, lazy.
Baby, know that I'm not crazy.

I was creative with my voice here. In my video editing, you'll discover that I added video overlays in the song to portray the moments I remembered which the song made me remember.

I choose this song because I was inspired by the memory of a couple singing in it together in comparison with what's happening today. This is the same song the couple sang to each other that they are in love and that they'll follow each other wherever they go. The lyrics tell a whole story. After marriages, people tend to be different, and I ask myself, why did you love or marry in the first place?

Why is it that during the stage of getting married, you could die for love? But this is the same person you claim you love and would treat her like your one true lover, but you're cheating, or you treat her with great contempt, which may even cause separation and divorce in most homes. So the song is a reminder to all those who are married to remember how the love chase started and why they need to follow up with that and keep their vows.

You need to hear harmonics in singing. This couple sang this song Follow You in their wedding, and as a wedding guest, I was intrigued by the way the man sang the major part. The man sang in the calmest of voices, and his woman was answering in the sweetest voice. I was moved. This made me learn lessons from this memory. If you truly love your woman, you won't limit those words of love, the lines and everything to years before marriage but also after marriage.
