Happy start of the week, dear Open Mic family! A new week gathers us around this musical stage and I feel honored to be the one who proposed the theme to develop, I am completely sure that we will see incredible presentations as usual.
I think it is essential in the times in which we find ourselves to talk about self-love, to understand that it is necessary to respect, love and value ourselves first to then ask others to respect, love and value us and that is why I thought this topic was appropriate, being that there are many songs that can represent self-love.
I want to share with you one that has been stuck in my mind for some time and it is Flowers by Miley Cyrus that came out in the year 2023 as part of her album "Endless Summer Vacation". This song was written after a separation of the singer with her husband and I think it describes perfectly what self-love is, it's about believing in yourself, knowing that you can love yourself, even better than others do and being okay with that, not being afraid of loneliness, but seeing it as part of a learning process.
I hope you like my version and I look forward to seeing all your submissions this week.
¡Feliz comienzo de semana, querida familia de Open Mic! Una nueva semana nos reúne en torno a esta tarima musical y me siento honrada de ser yo quien propusiera el tema a desarrollar, estoy completamente segura de que veremos increíbles presentaciones como es usual.
Creo que es fundamental en los tiempos en los que nos encontramos hablar del amor propio, entender que es necesario respetarnos, amarnos y valorarnos a nosotros mismos primero para luego pedir que otros nos respeten, nos amen y nos valoren y es por eso que me pareció propicio este tema, siendo que canciones hay muchas que puedan representar el amor propio.
Yo quiero compartirles una que sinceramente tengo pegada en la mente desde hace algún tiempo y es Flowers de Miley Cyrus que salió en el año 2023 como parte de su álbum “Endless Summer Vacation”. Este tema fue escrito después de una separación de la cantante con su esposo y creo que describe a la perfección lo que es amor propio, se trata de creer en ti misma, saber que tú puedes amarte, incluso mejor de lo que otros lo hacen y estar bien con eso, no tener miedo a la soledad, sino verla como parte de un proceso de aprendizaje.
Espero que les guste mi versión y espero ver todas sus presentaciones en esta semana.
We were good, we were gold
Kind of dream that can't be sold
We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn
Hum, I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better I
Paint my nails cherry-red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said
Ooh, I didn't wanna leave, baby
I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better I
I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better I
