It gives me great pleasure to post here after a long hiatus. I forgot to introduce myself in the video coz it's been a while I did this, so I'll be doing it here. This is Femmy Emmanuel with the username @emmaba1 and I'll be playing some acoustic guitar music for you today.

I am particularly happy about the theme for this week's Hive Open Mic theme-The Heaven.

I've been rewatching the Prison Break series recently, and when I got to the scene in season 4 where Brad Bellick died, I literally shed a tear. In that moment, a song came to me—it was Bob Dylan's Knockin' on Heaven's Door, a timeless classic.

This song was originally written as a score for a movie titled Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid in 1973. It was written from the perspective of a dying sheriff who's his last moments. The song was later released officially a couple of months later and soon rose to the top 10 charts, becoming a worldwide sensation.

I do hope you enjoy my humble acoustic rendition of the song.

Here are the lyrics of the song.
Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Here is a link to the official original song.

This is just so fascinating. This is what we call a post that is worth more than gold on hive. The sound of the guitar is just so serene and I love it. Bravo man

Thank you very much! It's good to be back here. I really appreciate the compliment.

Hi Emmanuel, welcome back to the Hive Open Mic, I met you a couple of years ago and you certainly stepped away for a while. It's a pleasure to hear you with a classic, which has been covered by many important artists, starting with the legendary Guns n' Roses. I really liked your acoustic version my friend, congratulations for it. By the way Prison Break rocks!!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I had been facing multiple back to back challenges at medical school, that's why, but I'm finally done now.
The guitar solo in the rock version of this song by Guns n' Roses really hits! And Prison Break certainly rocks!
It's good to be back here, and I'll definitely do my due diligence and go through the updated guidelines.

An amazing entry man.
I loved everything.
However, there is some sort of vibration feedback from your sound.
Do you use bandlab?

Wow, very keen observation. I did use Bandlab to add a little reverb and compression to the sound. I'll pay attention to the feedback next time.
Thank you.

You are welcome man
