I recently came across the cover of "Don't Dream It's Over" by Miley Cyrus and Arianna Grande on Tiktok, and I thought I'd give it a shot. I also find it fitting for this week's Hive Open Mic theme of "Never Give Up," and it brought back memories of listening to my uncle, my dad's brother, blasting New Wave Hits way back. I, myself then somehow grew to love the 80s New Wave hits as well.
The song's title, 'Don't Dream It's Over' might mean one of two things: either don't dream that it's over because there may still be hope, or don't dream or stop dreaming since it's over. For me, I think it’s the former as when you look up the rest of the lyrics the song is about not giving up. It basically tells us the value of being with that someone who can allow you the freedom to dream and ultimately support your success.

Lyrics
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
[Chorus]
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
[Verse 2]
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
[Chorus]
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
