Vibes Web 3 Music Competition Week 33 - Older by Sasha Sloan

Hello there! 🤗
Here's a welcome to Vibes Web 3 Music Competition Week 33. I am @yhubee.
I feel elated to be participating in this week's contest.

I'll be doing the cover of the song "Older" by Sasha Sloan. This has been one of the songs I can't take off my playlist — not because I can relate to it, but I somehow connect with the artist and the reality she relates through this beautiful piece.

"Older" to me, is a song that tells a story. Traumatic childhood is something I do not wish for anyone. For some, they could easily walk through it and come out strong, while others could be unredeemable drowned in its chaos.
Meanwhile, this song is not a way of reminding you of the negative things that happened in your childhood — if you had any. This is me telling you that you can always do better ❤️.

I grew up in a loving family and it has been so beautiful. I thank God everyday and also pray to have one that I could call mine someday. I am certain He will answer my prayers. I pray He answers yours, too.

Selah!!! ✌🏾😘

Song lyrics

"Older"

I used to shut my door
While my mother screamed in the kitchen
I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen to every little fight
'Cause neither one was right

I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
'Cause loving is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
It just hadn't hit me yet
The older I get

I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family
Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

I swore I'd never be like them
But I was just a kid back then.
