Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, encouraging musicians to share songs with an international audience.
With this song, my intention is to illuminate "The Inner Battle" that happens in the mind when we let our emotions go unchecked. The reason why this message is timely is because I'm witnessing the ways my thoughts get out of control sometimes, so I have to fight to keep my peace of mind. When I face my worries, and other forms of fear, I am a warrior for love.
This electric guitar performance it is a sonic journey that embodies the conflicting emotions with their clashing and crashing, relating to this week's Hive Open Mic theme: War. The electric guitar is a channel for big emotions, with its ability to amplify the innermost, mirroring the dynamic and explosive nature of a battle.
To me, music spontaneity has the power to capture raw emotions and unleash a torrent of creativity. It is in these impromptu moments that artists explore the depths of their existence. Through this song's somber beginnings, the aggressive crescendo, and the eventual return to a place of solace, the musical journey expresses the human struggle against internal conflicts.
Once again, I'm grateful to the Hive Open Mic community, and our Hive platform at large. It is because of our virtual stage that I am able to express myself and connect with fellow music lovers across the world, all from the comfort of my home. These opportunities to perform music help me to move energy, in order to be sane, safe, and secure, in a world that feels scary sometimes. Music helps me to process my sorrows and frustrations, inviting me to embrace vulnerability and find resilience. Through the power of sound, I transform my heavy emotions into a journey of self-discovery, understanding, and ultimately, self-acceptance.
The Inner Battle
This is an impromptu riff inspired by this week's theme: "War." To me, it is an energetic wave that begins with a somber feeling, followed by an aggressive crescendo, ending back at the starting place. It serves as a reminder of the power of music to explore complex themes, evoke deep emotions, and ultimately offer a glimpse of hope amidst the battles that come and go in daily life.

Hi there.
This is so beautiful
You're so Talented sir.
Keep glowing.
Aw thanks Glowie, you too! 🌛✨
You're welcome
I think the music of this song tells us what it is like to live an inner battle, it can be so intense and desolate that it keeps us desperate and many times we do not know what to do I love your proposal this week.
Thanks for your words. Yes, that inner battle is real. It is important that we look at it, feeling the intensity, illuminating those dark and heavy places so we can learn to live with greater love, lightness, and freedom.
Wonderful performance @cabelindsay
Mamma mía interpretación genial como siempre. Transmites mucha energía con tu interpretación. Un abrazo bro
We had to listen to your music this week Cabe, thank you so much for participating and sharing once again your message of peace. It is incredible how the music and the strength with which you play the guitar is enough to understand what you want to transmit. The second picture and your look also speak for themselves, bravo brother, you are inspirational...
It's an honor to express myself and it's a pleasure to connect. Thank you so much for encouraging me today, and throughout these past few years. You are inspirational too! 🎵✨🙏🎸
First of all, the details on the guitar are spectacular, your brother did a unique and original job, it is noticeable that he was very inspired.
The fundamental war that we must win is the one that lies within us, we know that it is complicated since that fight will be present until the end of our days, but we must always stay in front and with the victory between our eyebrows.
Listening to you tonight has been special, what you transmit is special, you are special for us and for the community. Un gran abrazo hermano!
Yes! That's a great way to say it. You captured the essence of the song perfectly - the fundamental battle within ourselves, fighting for peace of mind. Knowing that I have a positive impact on the community means the world to me. Un gran abrazo para ti también, hermanos.
I loved the title of your song, it is a reality that is not a coincidence because the biggest fight we are fighting right now is with ourselves, within ourselves....
I liked the melody because if we do a mental exercise with what you write, we can certainly recreate how is the beginning and the end of our deepest conflicts, I liked it very much brother.
How true when you say that the world we live in generates fear, I know that as a spiritual being you can already see the evil in the hearts of people, and now there are many people like that, trusting is not so easy because evil knows how to camouflage itself better, but it will never go unnoticed hehe!
Your last presentations show you firm, healed, renewed and with a higher degree of sensitivity and perception, therefore your level of resilience will be unlimited. You are great brother and a being that illuminates lives, I send you a huge hug Cabe 🙏❤️... lot of love Bro 🙌😀💛.... You Absolutely Rockkk!!!! 👊😎🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️🌟🍻💥💫💯
Incredible comment. Thank you, brother. Yes, music is a powerful illumination tool. It allows me to envision the beginning and end of the inner conflicts - I've faced a lot of those recently. Each of the arts has a unique way of evoking emotions and painting vivid pictures in our minds.
I'm touched by your presence in my life, and thankful to you for bearing with me, observing my growth and resilience. It means a lot to me that you see me as a source of light in people's lives. Your support helps to elevate my mind. Sending you a huge, warm hug in return, filled with gratitude. Let's continue spreading the Global Harmony! 🤗🎵❤️🌟🎸
Celabelsindsay brother, I have always said that you are our example to follow, and with this presentation you prove it to us! Wow dear friend, I really loved the guitar decoration and your costume, man you are a tremendous artist! God keep blessing you brother, a big hug for you dear friend!
I'm humbled by your statement that I serve as an example to follow. The same is true of you, brother. It's my sincere hope that the two of us and our community as a whole will raise a frequency that affects others in a favorable way. I'm grateful for the continuous blessings this community brings, and I hope we keep sharing our music and spreading positivity. Sending you a big hug too.
This is a very energetic riff, which serves as an outlet for so many emotions.
Nothing like music to express feelings and relieve burdens of all kinds that might be in our mind that we need to let go of.
I enjoyed your presentation very much.
Amigo @cabenlindsay esta canción la siento como un grito de libertad!!. Dónde sacamos todas esas emociones que nos hacen daño y buscamos después quedar en paz mental y espiritual. Excelente entrada, con mucha fuerza👏👏🤗, gracias por traerla está semana. Mil bendiciones para tí 🙏☺️✌️🥰🎤💚💜❤️💞
Friend @cabenlindsay I feel this song as a cry for freedom!!. Where do we get all those emotions that hurt us and then seek to be at peace of mind and spirit. Excellent entry, very strong👏👏🤗, thanks for bringing it this week. A thousand blessings to you 🙏☺️✌️ 🎤💚💜❤️💞
Yes, that's so true. It's what the battle is all about, I feel. Freedom from fear. Freedom from worry. Freedom to love.
Sí, eso es muy cierto. De eso se trata la batalla, creo. Libertad del miedo. Libertad de preocupaciones. Libertad para amar.
Wow this is so amazing
I love this presentation
Thanks alot sir for sharing
In the Muslim religion there is a word called jihād, which among many things is the fight of internal conflicts against our own demons. it is also called holy war.
Which by the way in the West is very demonized
Oh yes, I've heard that word before: jihād. I didn't realize it was a fight of internal conflicts. That sounds like a holy war for sure - a battle for the Warrior of the Light. Thanks for your wisdom, uncle.
Oh, sí, he oído esa palabra antes: jihād. No me di cuenta de que era una lucha de conflictos internos. Seguro que suena como una guerra santa, una batalla por el Guerrero de la Luz. Gracias por tu sabiduría, tío.
I consider you a warrior of light working from your music in the fifth dimension.
winter peace.
te considero un guerrero de la luz trabajando desde tu música en la quinta dimensión.
Paz inverencial
Excellent interpretation, I loved the original theme, I congratulate you my friend....
You have a lot of talent and creativity...
A big hug and blessings!
