My 1st attempt of singing a musical soundtrack...
Watched a superb musical movie "The Greatest Showman" lately and have been listening to the soundtracks for days! 😃 Its an uplifting, passionate & inspirational movie! You should really watch it if you haven't.
Super love the songs, so I decided to attempt to sing 1 of the songs. Actually its intimidating to sing a musical soundtrack when the original song comes with rich instrument layers & choir background, and you are only left with 1 vocal & lousy keyboard playing.
Haha but nevermind, I'll just try for fun. I've tried to record, delete, re-record & delete for umpteen times for hours cause I couldn't get the perfect track.. and now have to stop recording because everyone is sleeping! haha
Please excuse the poor sound quality as I'm only using a phone to record. Would recommend to listen with earphone. 😂 Nevertheless, I hope this is still a decent cover and bring pleasure to your ears. Enjoy! :)
This Is Me by Keala Settle
Verse 1
I'm not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one will love you as you are
Pre Chorus
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
Chorus
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Verse 2
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reach above the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we'll become (pre chorus)
Bridge
And I know that I deserve your love
There's nothing I'm not worthy of (chorus)

Nice!!!! I fell in love with this movie the moment the first soundtrack hit the screen. Movie added to my fave movie list. :D Nice vocals btw! We have a lot of musicians in #teammalaysia, can think of doing a collab.
Yes me too. Love the soundtrack of this movie. Thanks for the compliment! We #teammalaysia surely do have musically talented ppl around. Haha. We should gather everyone and have a #teammalaysia steemit music concert or sth :D
You will go far in steemit because we don't have many singers here
Oh I actually saw many singers posted in steemit! Thats why i posted mine too, tho it was abit shabby 😅 But steemit is a good platform for musicians & singers. I'm a newbie here, so still learning how this system works. Thanks for dropping by! :)
I also look forward for the movie. Your voice have always been so soothing and nice. Keep steeming :)
Yes yes really nice movie! Thanks for ur compliment ps jade! Lets keep steeming ❤
