Hello everybody on Hive and especially the Hive Open Mic Community! My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town South Africa!
This is Week 129 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge, and the theme for the week is "Trust"! Usually I do the Hive Open Mic by myself, but this week I was having a braai (Afrikaans for "barbeque") with some fellow HIVERS, namely @clairemobey - the person who usually joins me on stage recently (and a great songwriter), @zakludick - Claire's partner (who is also the reason why myself and so many other people in South Africa are on HIVE at all) and their lovely daughter @aimeludick.
Claire and I (Mobey-Dick) have a little gig coming up in a couple of weeks where we will be singing mostly original songs, but she wanted me to hear this cover which turned out to be a perfect fit for this week's theme... so in the end we all got involved in this video, and all four of us will be sharing 25% of the rewards of this post:
Main Vocals: @clairemobey
Backing Vocals: @aimeludick
Shaker: @zakludick
Guitar: me - @jasperdick
The song we are singing is "You Say" by Lauren Daigle, and you only have to look at the lyrics to see why it fits the theme of "Trust" so well... Claire also explains why this song is important to her in the video.
Lyrics
I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know
Ooh-oh
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity
Ooh-oh
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
Oh, I believe
Taking all I have, and now I'm laying it at Your feet
You have every failure, God, You have every victory
Ooh-oh
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
Oh, I believe (I)
Yes, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe

Wow this has been beautiful friends, you make an excellent team and we hope to see you more often doing this kind of reunion, you all undoubtedly stood out and shined with this magnificent song that we really didn't know but we love it already.
Now dear friend an important suggestion, it is good to place the link or source of the lyrics so that it directs to the page where it was obtained. This way we give the credit, if you want you can edit the post and visit some examples of our other brothers in the community.
Please don't stop and I hope to see you often.
Thank you so much for you lovely comments, as well as the advice! I have linked the source of the lyrics as well as the additional songwriter credits at the bottom of the post now!
I'm looking forward to your entry this week, have you shared it yet?
Excellent friend, sii today we also publish😇🤩.
Exciting! I will keep my eye out for your entry too!
Lovely, you guys rock❤️💕❤️🤗💕❤️❤️💕💕🤗💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much my lovely!
Very coool song cover
Congrats
Very good job
Grettings from Venezuela. Southamerica!
Beautiful colab between all that wonderful Friends / singers
😊🙏🎸👏👏👏
All the Best!
Thank you very much! Do you sing or play music? I'm seeing a lot of talent come out of Venezuela and the rest of South America!
Thanks a Lot. Yeap. I play guitar since 1994. Later in 2000 I start with drums. And some bass, keys, pads, some vocal too. I built a freak homemade Drum in 2008 and well I make a little bit Experimental music, and in blockchain since 2017, and in Hive since starts this Blockchain :)
Yes here in this part of the world exist a Lot of good músicians. 😊🙏🎸
Oooooh, that's very exciting! I'll be following you and looking forward to seeing some of your posts too!
🙏🙏😊☺️
Thanks a Lot. ^^ I have some experimenta crazy stuffs. Some extreme metal but some acoustic guitar pieces too and a Lot of different stuffs. We move on to metal to classic rock that we going to recording soon. More relax músic
Variety is the spice of life! You'll find 9 inch nails next to Taylor swift on my Playlist 😂. Love it! Sticking to one genre keeps one's world closed. I love experiencing all kinds of music.
Yeah I like both. I Saw NIN in a concert one day and was amazing. I just play industrial metal since 1999 to 2002 here in two bands here in My country. I listen all kind of músic genres. Because I had to play for living in bars and pubs stuffs like that. Now I love to fusión ancestral world músic (amazonian forest chamánism kind of vibes with extreme metal) I listen a band from New Zealand: Alien Weaponry, that inspire too much like Sepultura (old times), Gojira, Decapitated and others bands that mix the tribal músic with metal. My life was so extreme in the past and I play metal músic for that but, I love to play others stuffs, I built musical Instruments too, very Steampunk, and play with saws and a violín bow for example, very slow tunes too. I don't have limits for creativity because life it's too short. Cause of that I have more than 1800 vids in My Youtube channel (Puku) I just followed early there, and in that channel I upload a Lot of experiments and here too in Hive. I studied informátic engenier, electrónics, plástic art and antropology in the university (later I become university professor before the crisis here), and I mix all of My knowlegde with the art that I Made: midiart, Nft tattoos, músic sounds become canvas I mean l love make fusions :p blessings and have an amazing day
That is beautiful! I'm so impressed by each of you! ♥️
Thank you so very much @melinda010100 ! ❤️
Hahaha - we managed to get Zak to trust that the barbeque fire would be fine for one take of the video! We got to celebrate with some delicious food afterwards as well as tinkering away on other songs!
It was a lovely evening! And yes, thank you @zakludick for preparing all that incredible food!
Great :-) we really missed something not being there with you !LUV
Thank so so much@Beeber <3
Goodness me - Austria? I have been close (Munich in Germany or the Dolomites in Italy) but never Austria... something for the list!
Although recently I did a transfer through Vienna airport because my original connecting flight to Hamburg was cancelled! I got to see all the wind turbines and how close they are to the airport, which was very exciting as I am a renewable energy developer in South Africa and our airports still want turbines to be very far away - haha!

Exelente presentación amigo, muchas gracias por compartir en esta semana 129 Dios te bendiga mucho
Her comment (Google Translate): Excellent presentation friend, thank you very much for sharing this week 129 God bless you very much.
My response: Hello! Ah this was your week to choose the theme? I hope you enjoyed the song we chose about trust and belief!
Mi respuesta: ¡Hola! Ah esta fue tu semana para elegir el tema? ¡Espero que hayas disfrutado la canción que elegimos sobre la confianza y la fe!
Never knew @clairemobey sings so beautifully.. oh my.. I love that song.. I could imagine we all filling up that room that room and lifting our hands up to God saying we believe.
It's a strong confession from the heart and you all did it so well.
@jasperdick your guitar strumming is epic. Wow. I have some to learn from you, you were a bit far from the camera hehehe..
Thanks so much for this heart warming song. And kudos to the other awesome people @aimeludick and @zakludick .. nice to meet the family.
Thank you! 😊
You're welcome, nice to meet you.
thank you so much for your absolutely beautiful response. This song is a real tearjerker for me. I've actually started reciting the lyrics to myself at night before I sleep nighttimeprayers I look forward to performing this live for the 1st time at our next gig.
Wowww.. so powerful lines in that song I must say..
I ll love to know how the gig goes.
I pray God moves many hearts aright in his will and that many find salvation through your singing.
Amen.
Thank you so very much. We'll definitely be posting the live footage ❤️

Hello! Well I am trying to do the HIVE Open Mic Challenge every week, but it sounds like I must get @clairemobey and family involved more often as well!
@merenludick was grumpy he missed out! We'll definitely need to do another team effort. We'd love to do
Hahaha - he looks like a proper potential talent too! What do you think he would enjoy doing next time we get the chance? Is the Pink song his choice? Lovely!
Yes! We've been practicing it as a family for ages.
Awwww that's great!! I am also looking for someone around my area to have a collab hihi. But some Filipino Hivers here are a bit shy. 😆
