Hello everyone, Happy Hive Open Mic 186: Cinema.

The theme for this week was amazing and fun, I couldn’t resist participating. When I read the announcement post and understood the assignment, it was difficult choosing one particular song to settle on.

Right off the bat, I knew whatever I chose was going to be an animation. The first animated movie that came to mind was my favorite of all time, “Storks”. I’m not sure if it’s a Disney movie but it was released several years ago.

I tried looking for reenact-able tracks in it, but I couldn’t find one. So I checked out “Encanto”; so many excellent and engaging tracks right here. But none of the pitches matched mine.

I then checked “Moana”, magnificent songs but very hard to cover because there were a lot of voices and singers in the song. I think I checked out “Coco” as well, the song was too short.

I finally browsed through “The Little Mermaid”. Technically, the most recent edition wasn’t an animation but I absolutely loved the song, Halle did a phenomenal job. And since she is someone I look up to in the music industry, I decided to try out this piece.

It definitely wasn’t easy, but I came up with this as the result. I sincerely hope you enjoy the cover. I’ll drop the lyrics down below, in case you want to sing along.
